Testimonials
Gary Macdonald
John and Kassie Lisle/Marriottsville, MD - "Gary Macdonald is one of the most reliable, efficient and personable real estate agents we have come across. We have used his expertise to buy and sell our house and have always been very pleased with his service. We love the fact that Gary is not out simply to make a sale but he is truly concerned with your needs. If the house is not for you, he will let you know so that you don't get into something you're not ready for." Sharon Castillo/Bethesda, MD - “If this is your first time buying a home, nobody can walk you through this very complex process with more ease and charm than Gary Macdonald. His experience, professional contacts, and jovial personality make the home buying experience seem like a walk on the beach.” Jon and Lee Shum/Point of Rocks, MD - "Gary, you have been so patient and helpful to a first time buyer. I sometimes felt that my questions were stupid, but never because of your reaction. I always felt free to contact you and ask any questions. Your answers were helpful, thorough and most importantly, understandable. You were very thorough in your search for listings, despite the WIDE area of interest." Tim and Karen McKevitt/Frederick, MD - "Working with Gary is like working with a friend. He listens to what you are looking for in a new home, offers suggestions to get your home ready to sell, and is a phone call away to answer any question that you may have. He will be the first person we call when we are ready to sell our home and buy a new one! I can honestly say that it has been an honor to have Gary as our Realtor. I hope that you will give him and his team the opportunity to be your Realtor." Cary Dimmick/Silver Spring, MD - "I have had the opportunity, on two separate occasions, to utilize Gary as my real estate agent...both times Gary was the epitome of a true "professional;" his knowledge of the profession, contacts with others within the profession, and his willingness to work hard for me made my buying experience as smooth and easy as possible...I highly recommend Gary as someone that will work for you and make your home buying an enjoyable process." Larry and Jenn Fogel-Bublick/Takoma Park, MD - "Gary is an honest, knowledgeable and thorough real estate agent, who made finding a home in this market much easier. I trust Gary and knew that he was doing everything possible to help us find a home that fit our needs. I would unequivocally recommend Gary to anyone." Patrick and Shari Delaney/Silver Spring, MD - "The job Gary did for us was awesome. I felt that no one could have handled our sale and purchase better than Gary and we were always comfortable with asking for and receiving his advise. We never felt that any question we had was ever considered unimportant. His patience, while we went from all over Montgomery County out to Carroll county and back again looking for our home, was always appreciated. We never felt rushed, even though the market and our desire to settle before school started, meant that we had to make some quick decisions. Shari and I both feel lucky to have a realtor (and friend) like Gary." Diana Mark/Baltimore, MD - "When I decided to sell my house last year, I had already contracted for a new house and had a limited time in which to sell the one I owned. I was anxious and intimidated by the process. I'm not exaggerating when I say that Gary Macdonald was a Godsend. I live in Baltimore and Gary is in Montgomery County. But he came out to my house on numerous occasions in preparation for putting my house on the market. His ideas for what I needed to do to sell my house quickly were right on the mark. I took all of the advice he offered and within six days of listing my house, I had several contracts from which to choose. When the buyers raised a last-minute issue that could have derailed the sale of the house one day before settlement, Gary's calm, practiced, professionalism prevailed and he literally saved the sale. I am so grateful to Gary. Not only was he indispensable in the sale of my house, but he is warm, fun, kind, and patient. Not only did he relieve all my initial anxiety, but he made the experience enjoyable for me. I recommend him to everyone I know who is selling or buying a house." Sean Delaney/Adelphi, MD - "Gary Macdonald has been my realtor since 1999 and I can honestly say that I would recommend him to any and everyone I know. His commitment to excellent client service and meticulous attention to detail has made every deal we've made a true no hassle transaction. I am secure in knowing that Gary always has my best interest in mind and has done the work to secure the best possible terms for me in every transaction." Tim Flanery/Germantown, MD - "I bought three houses over the years and working with Gary was the best experience by far. I greatly appreciated his patience in dealing with me, as well as his sound advice and persistence in an a very competitive market. Also, Gary is also very well connected to excellent home inspectors so there were no surprises when I got in." Julie Von Vorys/Silver Spring, MD/Alexandria, VA - "I just wanted to let you know that every time anyone asks me how my house settlement went, I bring up your name. Some of these folks don’t have very pleasant memories about the entire process and I tell them how fortunate I was to have such a great realtor! Thanks again and you can be sure that I will recommend you to anyone that I know who lives in Maryland and is thinking about moving." Paul and Susan Peters/Chevy Chase, MD - "I was referred to Gary Macdonald and didn’t know to expect. Immediately, he made us feel comfortable. He didn’t pull any sales tactics or slick presentations trying to overwhelm us with fluff. He was straight forward and knowledgeable. He answered our questions and made the home selling and home buying process a great experience. We have already recommend Gary to family and friends. There are a lot of Realtors out there and we have dealt with a few. None of them compare to how sincere, honest and trustworthy Gary is." |
