McKinley Group

★★★★★
"It was a really great experience working with Emily and Josh of The McKinley Group as we looked to purchase our first home. They were extremely knowledgeable of the market and the nuances of different neighborhoods that we were considering. For every house we liked, they were super responsive to ensure we had all of the necessary details to decide if we wanted to make an offer or not. As we went through the entire process, they really got to know us to ensure that we were looking at the right types of houses while also feeling comfortable with our strategy. For the houses that went to offer, they were really creative on the different levers we could use to make a highly competitive offer and ultimately put the power in our hands. Josh and Emily helped answer question after question to help us be comfortable with whatever decision we made on each house that we viewed. Would definitely recommend working with the McKinley team for anyone looking in the Denver area!" - Jill & Paul / West Highlands Buyers

"Lindsey was amazing to work with! Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and always one step ahead, she is awesome with communication and has such attention to detail. You get complete honesty and transparency with her and you have the best negotiator in your corner. She sold our house above asking price the first weekend it went on the market and helped us get our new home for under asking price! She’s the best realtor we’ve ever worked with."- Mindy P. - Buyer & Seller

★★★★★
"I highly recommend Emily Smart! Our family had an out-of-state move, and
she made it as easy as possible in this challenging market. She was always
quick to respond to questions and went above and beyond during the
inspection and closing process. We had a great experience!"- Robin H, Applewood Buyer

★★★★★
"Emily is not only one of the best agents out there, but an incredible
person who truly cares about her clients. Emily expertly guided us through
a very difficult market and was persistent, honest, and dedicated
throughout our home buying process. It took months of tours and offers for
us to find the perfect home, and Emily was so patient and determined to
help us find our dream home that checked every box! Without her knowledge
and expertise we could not have secured our home! We are so grateful for
Emily and HIGHLY recommend working with her!"- Ava E., Sloan's Lake Buyer

★★★★★
"Working with Emily was such a refreshing change from our first home buying experience. Our first real estate agent was pushy and it felt like he just wanted us to buy so he could collect a commission. Emily cared about helping us find a house that actually made sense for us and was patient and engaged with us through months of looking. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and would highly recommend Emily to anyone in the Denver area!" - Maureen & Eric / Hampden Buyers

★★★★★
"We unexpectedly found our dream home. We weren't even looking! The McKinley Group jumped into action and helped us get our new home under ask and sell our current home over ask! The team managed every detail of both the purchase and sale processes which went incredibly smoothly. There is a lot that goes into buying a home and we never would have been able to navigate this market without the team's professionalism and guidance." - Andrea H. / Applewood Buyer / Wheat Ridge Seller

★★★★★
"We bought quickly, when the market was crazy. Having the McKinley group's expertise gave us confidence when we needed it most. The team is thoughtful and thorough and advocated for us throughout our home-buying experience. They are the absolute best in the Colorado market!" - Brad H. / Applewood Buyer / Wheat Ridge Seller

"Our experience working with Emily was frictionless. We had been working with Compass a few months ahead of our purchase timeline. They helped us narrow down the neighborhoods we would be looking for. Once we settled on Denver we were introduced to Emily. We were still uncertain given the luck we'd had on our own checking out open houses. We were introduced to Emily to help us narrow down our short list. Within ~a week of working with Emily we'd found our dream home that checked all of our boxes. She arranged a walk through to get our thoughts on the property. We knew the market was still a sellers market. A few minutes of discussion post walk through and Emily's experience and professionalism were instantly obvious. She proposed a couple of options depending on how serious we were about the property in question. We never felt pressured to do anything we were uncomfortable with because she worked with our pre-approved loan officer. Within a day or two we had an aggressive offer in. The situation was a bit different though Emily kept us in the loop every step of the way and calmed our anxiety as first time home buyers. Our offer was accepted and ~a month later we closed on the house! I have personally recommended Emily to friends and colleagues looking to purchase in the Denver, CO housing market. From the get go I will say it felt like we were working with a friend who had our best interests in mind. We feel extremely lucky to have had such a professional and experienced person such as Emily on our side. Emily has even kept in touch post closing, she truly cares about the families whose lives she helps find their forever home." - Beck & Laszlo / Wash Park Buyers

"The McKinley Group at Compass provided us with unparalleled support and guidance - we cannot recommend them enough! Josh, Emily, and Lindsey helped us navigate a crazy seller's market as first-time home buyers, providing us the experience and insight we needed to get an offer accepted in our preferred neighborhood. Beyond the support of this awesome team, we also received recommendations for many other resources in the housing industry (lenders, contractors, architects, etc.). Whatever projects you have in mind for a home, this team has a perspective to share and the connections throughout Denver to address whatever you're looking to do. The team worked together to take us to countless house showings over many weeks, and gave us their honest opinions throughout the process. We received tough advice when we needed to hear it without feeling pressured to make any decisions we were uncomfortable with. After our offer was accepted, they coordinated all of our appointments throughout the inspection process all the way through closing. With this team, you receive white-glove service from people who genuinely care about getting you into your next home. Thank you, McKinley Group for getting us into our dream neighborhood! We can't thank you enough!" - Erin & Chip/ Highlands Buyer

"Emily is a true delight to work with! She is kind, confident and eager to help with a smile on her face. From the moment we met her to the moment we closed on our new home we knew she was taking care of every detail. She maintained great communication and was always thoughtful -- texting us for our son's birthday and leaving donuts for us after the open house. She is a class act! We have used the McKinley Group for multiple transactions and consider Josh and his team to be dear friends. Emily is a wonderful addition to the group and we will continue to recommend the McKinley Group to our family and friends with glowing reviews." - Holly / Centennial Seller

"I recently bought my first condo and working with Lindsey was amazing. She was great about walking me through all of the steps, talking through various possibilities and creative ideas to make our offer attractive in a hot market and always being available when I needed to ask questions or see a place last-minute. In a crazy Denver market, we found a place, made an offer within an hour and closed in 14 days. Through all of this, Lindsey was communicative, on top of everything and overall a joy to work with! In a tight close, the only thing I ever felt stressed about was the amount of packing I had to do, I felt fully confident in the transaction due to Lindsey overseeing it all. I can't recommend her highly enough and will definitely work with her in the future." - Leah / Denver Buyer

★★★★★
"We have worked with Josh on many occasions over the past several years, and he has always been wonderful to work with.

"Josh McKinley has been MAG Builder's for approximately 2 years. During that time, Josh has taken the time to understand our product and is diligent in making sure he understands the nuances of each project and what can and cannot be done with each one so he can best sell to the end user. Josh is in constant contact with each of us to ensure he is up to date on any changes that might have been made and educates himself on the building process so he can then talk intelligently to prospective buyers. Josh has been an integral part of MAG Builders and we are lucky to have him on our team." - Michael Moylen, Client/Builder
