What do Clients Say?

would like to take this opportunity to thank and wholeheartedly recommend Shawn McDonald as a outstanding realtor. When I made the initial decision to move from the lower mainland to Nanaimo I was unsure of the area and the market. By chance I connected with Shawn before I came over to start my hunt. What impressed me first off with Shawn was his willingness to block off a major amount of time to show me the local areas of interest first, aware that I may not even decide to move. The second trait of Shawn that impressed me is that he is a straight shooter. He will always give you the pros and cons of each decision, and what he doesn't know off hand, he finds out. It didn't take long for Shawn and I to get on the same wavelength where I was totally comfortable in allowing him to choose and veto picks to view for when I came over. The selling of my house on the mainland was very stressful and tiresome. My final purchase of my house in Nanaimo was a pleasure and I can even be confident to say fun. During my 'shopping' Shawn made sure the days were well planned out and he impressed not only my brother and friends but my kids as well. That enough speaks volumes!!  Although I believe Shawn found me my 'forever' house, if I should move again I already have my realtor picked out.

“Shawn was the agent my wife and I used during a year-long process of looking for and finally purchasing a home. Shawn is undoubtedly the best real estate agent we have ever had. My wife and I have bought four houses during the past thirty years and used different agents for each purchase. Shawn far exceeded all of these agents in the care and attention he gave to our needs during the lengthy process of finding and purchasing a home. He showed infinite patience at all times, never attempted to push us into a particular purchase and was always careful to consult with us before making a recommendation. He is also a master of detail. He made certain that all of the necessary paperwork was signed and complete. Finally, Shawn is an agent we felt we could trust. Shawn McDonald has our strongest recommendation for anyone who is looking for a real estate agent to buy or sell property on Vancouver Island.”

I am delighted to write this reference letter for Shawn McDonald.From the first day Shawn stepped through the front door of our home he made me feel at ease. It had been the family home for over 15 years and I was a little anxious at the thought of selling it. He walked me through the steps of getting the house ready for sale and subsequently the sale of the house. Shawn also helped me purchase my new home.His patience, kindness and understanding made the experience of selling and purchasing as exciting and stress free as the situation can be. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable and professional and at the some time very compassionate and caring.

I do not hesitate to recommend Kristin and Shawn McDonald for all of your real estate needs! They have earned a lifetime client in me. Having experienced the disappointment and frustration of a big “list-it-and-leave-you” team I decided to go with the personal touch this time. Throughout the process Shawn and Kristin were clearly working hard for me. From their sharp pricing recommendation, clear and simple advice on staging and showing my home, knowledge of market conditions, creating the “buzz” through their networks, and working their magic behind the scenes, my home sold in five days for above my asking price in a multiple offer situation. In this market that is very rare and I credit Shawn and Kristin’s dedication and professionalism for this success. The process of finding my new home was fun and easy. Kristin has a keen interest in people and a strong ability to deeply listen and understand what you want. I was amazed by her intuitive ability to match me with houses that were exactly right for me. Kristin and Shawn care more about you than about their commission and they both truly want to help you find your next home, not just a house. My last listing experience was a nightmare. Buying and selling with Kristin and Shawn was a dream!
