"I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about John and Amanda McDonell. My family and I were very blessed to have them as our Realtor’s. We were first time home buyers, who thought owning a home would always be just a grand dream.

John and Amanda operate with a golden core of ethics and truly have their clients best interest at heart. My family and I are eternally grateful and love our home. "-Kathryn B

"John and Amanda are a delight to work with. They are incredibly responsive, organized, and knowledgeable. Having strong negotiating skills they assisted in procuring a home for my family, a difficult sale to navigate in fact, smoothly and able to make both buyer and seller happy. I would certainly recommend using them to find your new home. Highly recommended! "-Lanie B
★★★★★
"Working with John and Amanda McDonell on the sale of our home has been nothing but outstanding. When they first engaged they made us feel completely comfortable. They took all of the stress out of a very complex process and made it easy for us to focus on other aspects of moving that we would not have been able to do without their help. They were able to spot areas that we had not thought of in selling a house and took on the heavy lifting of things that could be overwhelming to those who don’t frequently move. They provided a white glove experience that I would highly recommend for others about to begin the process of selling their home and moving. "-Jamie R

"Amanda and John were great help when I was purchasing my condo. I waffled quite a bit with my decision and at no time did they apply any pressure. Instead, they just shared the pros and cons of the decision and then left me to my own decision making process. They really wanted me to be comfortable with the outcome, which I truly appreciated. I ultimately decided to make the purchase which was largely based on their coaching and have been happy as a clam ever since! I am so glad they stuck with me through it –I really did waffle. They were a great to partner with and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a team who has the best interest of their client at heart. "-Nicole S
