"Working with Amanda and John was a pleasure. They were professional and
personable. I was very impressed with Amandaās organizational skills and
scheduling. They worked hard at selling our home for the maximum amount. I
highly recommend Amanda and John if you want trustworthy Realtors who will
work hard for you.

"Amanda and John sold my condo in record time. I hadn't sold a home before.
Amanda patiently explained the process and used her professional know-how to
get the place ready and set a good price. John was super helpful with repair work
that needed to be done. They were both great and made the whole experience so
easy! I highly recommend them.

We asked for their help again, to consult & give advice on purchase of a
business/property combo. They jumped in immediately. Really helped us make an
educated decision. Thanks again!

"I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about John and Amanda McDonell.
My family and I were very blessed to have them as our Realtorās. We were first time
home buyers, who thought owning a home would always be just a grand dream.
John and Amanda graciously answered our million plus questions and made it their
personal mission to help us find the perfect home. We felt confident that we were
in good hands. 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.

"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!

"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 donāt 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.

"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 āI 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.
