MACDONALD REALTY

The MacDonald Realty brand has a huge presence and far reaching network in the lower mainland and, given the tough economic climate we currently find ourselves in, I now have the ability to bring Whistler to the doorstop of our customers which was a powerful attraction to me. With over 600 employees and 8 offices this is an exciting new alliance for us. Macdonald Realty also holds the back page of the Vancouver Sun which allows us to place color ads for our clients wishing to sell their Whistler homes.

Another great advantage is that MacDonald Realty has the strong brand alliance including: Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, Luxury Portfolio, Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate, MacGreen Earth Friendly Real Estate and our own project marketing and commercial division. I am so impressed with the spirit of the team, the level of high standards and their warm authentic approach to getting the job done for our clients.

For over 65 years, MacDonald Realty has been providing real estate services with an unequalled dedication to professionalism, innovation and integrity. I am really hopeful that you will consider supporting me on my new endeavor and allow me to represent you under The MacDonald Realty Flag.
