It was a pleasure to work with Elaine, she is a true professional. Elaine took care of every detail of the home for the seller as well as made certain that our buyer's concerns were addressed with transparency and satifactory results for the buyer. The icing on the cake was Elaine had the home professsionally cleaned prior to our final walkthrough for the buyer. I would recommend Elaine to both buyers and sellers.
Thank you again for a great experience.

Elaine and her team covered every little detail for us as our listing agent for selling our house. Her expertise enabled us to sell our house quickly and for a higher price than we had expected. Together with her team, they handled any issue that might have been a concern before it had a chance to develop. She was always there to answer any questions and she consistently kept us informed as things progressed. We were so fortunate to have her on our team!

My family worked with Elaine this summer to sell our home and find us the dream home we always wanted. She was so thorough threw out the process with so much detail, it was so relieving to have her on our side and giving us all the feedback of what to expect and be there for us when we got nervous about things. We are truly thankful she was our realtor, we would recommend her to anyone looking for a quality agent.

Elaine and her team were responsive, diligent and went out of their way constantly to streamline the home buying process. She was always available for advice and she is obviously knowledgeable of the local area. Her expertise and motivation allowed us to close quickly on very favorable terms. Elaine has a lot of professional and trustworthy connections that we utilized during the closing process that delivered consistent, quality service. I highly recommend working with Elaine McDonald and her team, especially if you are a first time home buyer.

Our home sale was fast and efficient with Elaine McDonald. Starting with her market analysis and home marketing presentation, Elaine's analytical approach was comprehensive and well beyond other brokers presentations. We were very impressed with the collateral support Elaine had in place, coordinated by her fantastic operations manager, Douglas Palino. There were frequent home checks, preparation for inspections, and a list of professional tradespeople who could be called upon should any issue arise. Elaine kept in close contact, almost daily, with process updates and next step reminders; and then

Elaine is a stellar agent with an amazing wealth of knowledge to back up her years of being in the business. We have bought/sold with Elaine and her team more than once and each time, whether there were issues to contend with or not, she made it go as smoothly as possible. I would recommend her to both family and friends with full confidence that they would have the same experience we did. If you want someone with experience she is one of the best.
