ZillowVERIFIEDDon is always amazing to work with. I've bought two homes and sold one with his help. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure every detail is handled with care and precision. Whether explaining processes or answering my endless questions, he always took the time to ensure I felt informed and confident every step of the way. Don brings a calm, reassuring presence to what can often be a stressful experience, and his genuine compassion makes you feel truly cared for. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, thorough, and incredibly kind, I can't recommend Don enough!

ZillowVERIFIED Don was very professional, knowledgeable, understanding and helpful during the process of selling my home in Pontiac, Michigan. He was thorough and diligent in working on the valuation of my home with comps, trends and real estate experience. I relied on him for advice with many aspects of preparing and selling my home, and he did not disappoint. He shared a wealth of knowledge, and he immediately earned my trust. Don walked with me from start to finish on my journey of prepping my home to the details of closing on my home. I would recommend Don to anyone looking for a home because he is a wonderful real estate professional. Thank you Don for all of your help and assistance.

ZillowVERIFIED We cannot recommend Don enough! As first-time homebuyers, we truly appreciated his patience and dedication over the past few years. He never pressured us to just buy any home for the sake of a sale. Instead, he genuinely cared about helping us find the right home. Throughout our journey, we had seasons of aggressively looking and seasons where we stepped back, and Don always met us where we were without making us feel rushed. He has a wealth of knowledge and we always felt comfortable leaning on him to point out red flags and guide us through each walkthrough with honesty and care. Don is genuine, professional, and an incredible advocate for his clients. It was telling at our closing when everyone aEUR" the sellers, the sellers agent, and the closing agent aEUR" all commented on how amazing Don has been throughout the entire process. Each spoke highly of his seamless communication and professionalism. If you are looking for a realtor who will truly put your best interests first and guide you with wisdom and kindness, Don is your guy!

ZillowVERIFIED The best decision we made was working with Don Chisholm. While some parts of our home-buying journey came down to luck or fate of the perfect house, the best and most intentional decision we made was choosing to work with Don, and we couldn't have gotten to our perfect home without him. From start to finish, he was everything we needed in an agent aEUR" and more. Don was never pushy. He made sure we were well-informed, always taking the time to explain things clearly and keep us several steps ahead. He offered thoughtful, sage advice while giving us the space to make our own decisions. That kind of trust and respect meant everything to us. As an anxious buyers, we were worried about potential issues with houses under the paint. Don didnt just show us homes aEUR" he dug deep to uncover and point out any red flags, whether it was something about the condition of the property or concerns in the neighborhood. Thanks to Don, there were no surprises aEUR" only clarity and confidence in our decisions. Our process moved quickly aEUR" just a matter of weeks aEUR" and Don was there for us every step of the way. He was incredibly responsive, always honest, and handled the heavy lifting behind the scenes so we could focus on finding a home we loved. His professionalism, deep knowledge, and calm presence made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and even enjoyable. There is truly nothing he could have done better. Our interaction with Don was perfect from start to finish. If you have the chance to work with him, take it aEUR" youll be in the very best hands.

His professionalism is unmatched, and his level-headed approach were the icing on the cake in making my home buying experience a pleasure (and quite fun at times!). Don was available at all times aEUR" quick to respond aEUR" and his follow through was almost instantaneous. I hope to never have to move again but if I do, I know who Ill be calling. I cant recommend Don highly enough.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Don was an outstanding experience from start to finish. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions, and Don was incredibly patient and thorough in explaining each step of the process. From writing the offer to navigating the inspection and closing, he walked me through everything with clarity and confidence. I reached out to Don because of his outstanding testimonials, and now I'm more than happy to add my own. Ill definitely be recommending him to my friends, family, and coworkers!

Review for Member: Donald Chisholm
ZillowVERIFIED Don surpassed my expectations. He answered all my questions and then some. He came to each showing with all the relevant information on the property which helped me determine if the house would be a fit for me or not. I have had realtors in the past that seemed somewhat indifferent to my home-buying process, but not Don. I'm not a big fish, but that doesn't mater at all, which I appreciate so so much. Highly Recommend!

ZillowVERIFIED Don was very knowledgeable about the areas we were looking and helped us find the perfect house. He was professional yet warm and put us at ease right away. He showed up to every listing prepared with all of the information we would need to make a decision and actively looked for red flags on the property. He was collaborative and would send us stuff every day to look at. He replied to all of our communications very quickly and never said no if I wanted to go look at a house the next day. He was genuinely just a kind human and it was a pleasure to work with him.

ZillowVERIFIED Don was knowledgeable, professional, accommodating, very helpful and exceedingly patient. I was moving from out of town because I am retiring and wanting to be closer to family. I didnt have a target moving date. Don worked with my sister (shes local) and still made sure that I was his client. He also did virtual showings with me. He was helpful and knowledgeable when I made a less than traditional offer. He was also able to tailor contingencies to my unique situation. Mostly he was patient with me, it took 3 years to find the house I needed aEUR" location & accessibility (I needed a wheelchair accessible home). I would highly recommend Don.

ZillowVERIFIED Moving from Florida to Michigan was a big step for us, but having Don Chisholm as our real estate agent made all the difference. Don was referred to us, and from day one, he proved to be nothing short of AMAZING! Don knows every inch of the areas we were interested in, and his expertise was invaluable. He was incredibly patient, especially since we were unfamiliar with things like furnaces and sump pumpsaEUR"definitely a northern thing! We had to look at a record number of homes before finding the perfect one, but Don was with us every step of the way. He showed up each day with a smile and all the paperwork and information we needed for each house. Honestly, Don is a miracle, an angel put in our lives to guide us through this process. We closed on our new home on May 29th, and Don was right there by our side. We couldnt have asked for a better experience or a more dedicated agent. If youre looking to buy or sell a home, I cant recommend Don Chisholm enough. He is simply the best!

ZillowVERIFIED I wish we had Don as our agent when we sold our house in FL. I learned so much from Don about houses and what to look for on each visit, history of the houses and of the Detroit area and negotiating a contract. He is a wealth of knowledge. More than anything, he worked patiently and diligently with our requests and frustrations. We looked at a lot of houses and he let us learn the process with gentle prodding. His professionalism was second to none. I can't say enough at how lucky we have been to have Don advocate for us and ease our concerns.

Review for Member: Donald Chisholm
ZillowVERIFIED Don is the BEST! From the initial meeting in the Winter, through the home renovation process in the Summer, to the home sale in the Fall, Don clearly demonstrated how good he is at what he does. He is careful to give you information and tasks in bite-sized chunks when you need it, and never overwhelms you with unnecessary things. Every step of the way, I had 100% confidence that I was in good hands with a truly skilled professional who cared about us as customers and worked tirelessly to get the best results. Our home sold on the third day and for above asking price! We were thrilled with this result, but recognized it was due to all of his behind-the-scenes work and all of the things he had us do to make our home the best it could be for the next owner/family to enjoy. I highly recommend Don Chisholm...in addition to being an expert in real estate, he is a terrific guy and a pleasure to work with!

ZillowVERIFIED Don was fantastic from first conversation to getting the keys. His knowledge of the area was invaluable as we were moving from out of state. He took our needs and wants into consideration with every house he showed us. He was extremely thorough and patient, especially since we could not all be in person for all showings. His advice was spot on and key to navigating a crazy, competitive market. We would recommend Don to anyone looking for a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Don was a pleasure to work with. He listened to our needs and desires in a condo. He was very flexible with his time and responsive in calls, texts, emails. This was especially important as we were living in Minnesota and looking for a condo in Michigan to be closer to our family. My husband and I appreciated that Don also looked at details such as house structure and integrity as well as traffic patterns and proximity to our family for us. We would highly recommend Don to other home buyers/sellers!

ZillowVERIFIED Don has been a pleasure to work with. As first time home owners, we were ready to jump in and learn about the purchase process and Don was excellent in leading the way. Don is realistic, but cares about what you're looking for and meeting expectations/hopes. Once we found the house we ended up purchasing, Don was there every step of the way and walked us through everything with thorough detail. We'll be passing his information along to others we know looking to purchase a home!

ZillowVERIFIED Don was an incredibly helpful, insightful, and knowledgeable agent during our search for a new home. He was prompt in responding to any of our (many) questions or requests for showings, and provided great suggestions based off our current needs. He provided thorough explanations for every step of the process and helped us feel confident in whatever offer or decision we made. We would absolutely use him again for any of our real estate needs, and would recommend him to anyone, every time!

ZillowVERIFIED Don Chisholm came recommended by friends, and we wish we had used him before we moved across the country from Washington state to the Oakland County area of Michigan. His knowledge, professionalism, and courteousness is exemplary. Don is very down-to-earth, realistic, and sticks to his client's wants and needs when searching for a home. We wouldn't hesitate to use him in the future and will recommend his services to everyone we know looking to buy or sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Don's knowledge and the give and take of our conversations with him allowed us to price the house in a way that drew five offers in the five days it was listed. Sale price was thousands above our asking price, despite a market growing softer. I am grateful that the sale of was handled so quickly and professionally. Great timeframe, great results!

ZillowVERIFIED Don is the absolute best! He's been with us throughout the entire process of moving to Michigan and starting the search for our new home. Despite the challenging market, it was fun to tour houses with Don. He's extremely knowledgeable of the Woodward corridor and points beyond. He knows a lot about older homes, and we felt like we learned something new every time we toured. Eventually we found our new place and he guided us through the process up to closing, and beyond! We can't recommend him highly enough.

ZillowVERIFIED Don was able to assist my wife and I on a tight timeline on finding a home, while living out of state. With the (1) week timeframe to look at houses, Don was able to utilize that time to the fullest with multiple (tons) of viewings while also educating us first time home buyers on the process, do's/dont's, and all information we needed to make an informed decision. During the entire process from looking, putting in an offer, and closing on our home, Don was able to be responsive and professional to us and all parties involved.

ZillowVERIFIED Where to start?? Don Chisholm made this whole processes so smooth and less stressful. We were on a time crunch and a budget and Don went out of his way to accommodate us and found us the perfect house. He is very knowledgeable and helpful throughout this experience to the very end, even once the papers signed. He still checked in on us to make sure there wasn't anything else he could help us with. I HIGHLY recommend Don and real estate one.

ZillowVERIFIED We have known Don for many years. He is a responsible and caring person that is very trustworthy. He always looked out for what was in the best interest for us when selling our home. Because it was during the Covid-19 pandemic, Don had masks, foot coverings and Antibacterial gel as well as making sure each showing had a realtor present. He is very thorough and knowledgeable whether it had to do with the showing, marketing, or dealing with contracts for us. He knew exactly the price to list our home and he was right on the mark! You really cannot go wrong having Don find a home for you or sell you home.

ZillowVERIFIED To the person lucky enough to have Don Chisholm serve as your realtor,Don is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the ins and outs of Michigan real estate practices! I met him in September 2020 when I started house hunting in my most coveted neighborhood. It's now seven weeks after closing on my dream home and Don is still eagerly answering my questions about not just homeownership, but also connecting me to the people and companies I know I'll be building lifelong relationships with when it comes to needing work done around my house.I lost count of the number of houses we viewed, but no matter how many, he never tired of my nitpickiness and was always ready to provide the information I needed from an objective point of view. I really appreciated his responsiveness and ability to work quickly. I always felt he had my best interest at heart. Where I was willing to overlook certain things because I really just wanted a house, he would lay out the potential pitfalls and costly mistakes I'd face if I jumped in too soon. Trust me, he will work as your advocate and even better, he makes the homebuying process and its connected paperwork feel like a breeze. Once my offer was accepted, his customized timeline saved me more than a time or two!Don's background is uniquely varied and his professional experiences are an awesome mix of what leads him to helping you find your forever home. Because he possesses all of these stellar qualities, I highly recommend you hire Don Chisholm for all your real estate needs.--Toya

ZillowVERIFIED Don helped my fiance and I purchase our first home in a highly-competitive market, and we cannot say enough good things about him. He is extremely knowledgeable and patiently guided us through every step of the home buying process. He promptly responded to every inquiry we had, and was easy to reach through text, call and email. We were nervous to enter this market as first-time buyers but we knew we were in great hands. Don helped us find the perfect home and made it fun and stress free. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing realtor to help them find their dream home!

ZillowVERIFIED Mr. Chisolm has provided my wife and I with one of the most thorough and courteous experiences we've ever had. We are (were) first time home buyers and we started looking in 2020 during what seems like the worst time to look for a house. Even though the houses and processes involved were lackluster, Don kept us in the loop with everything we needed to know. This includes a constant flow of houses to view, regulatory guidance, and industry knowledge. We appreciated his assistance and we're extremely happy with our house. I would recommend Don's service to absolutely anyone who's buying or selling. Thanks Don!

Review for Member: Donald Chisholm
ZillowVERIFIED Mr. Chisholm was an incredible real estate professional throughout the home-buying process. I was re-locating from New York to the Michigan area and needed a reliable pair of boots and eyes on the ground since I'd be buying a home remotely, which (needless to say) is a daunting and scary undertaking. But from our very first virtual meeting, Don immediately put me at ease. He knows the market very well and was able to translate all of the items on my "must-have" and "wish list" inventories into real and tangible listings for me to peruse. Once I had found a few, Don tirelessly toured the homes for me, even going so far as to use virtual technologies like Facetime so that I could be part of the process. He was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. Once I found the home I wanted, Don worked hard to help negotiate the price I wanted and went above and beyond in meeting the home inspector and the appraiser and interacting regularly with my mortgage loan officer to ensure that all contractual deadlines were met. Any hiccups in the process were met by Don with calmness, reason, and an excellent ability to troubleshoot and strategize on my behalf. In short, Don was a genuine godsend and I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend him. His expertise, level of professionalism, and ability to handle a logistically complicated real estate transaction are simply unparalleled in today's business world.

ZillowVERIFIED Don worked as a buyers agent to help my husband and I purchase our first home. We liked Don from the moment we spoke to him on the phone. His responsiveness was like no other agent. We reached out on a Sunday and heard back that same day. As first time home buyers, Don helped guide us in our decision making without ever making us feel pressured. He has knowledge about houses and negotiation skills that went beyond our expectations. Don was also extremely flexible with meetings and house visits and again, extremely responsive. We would highly recommend Don to anyone looking for an agent!

ZillowVERIFIED Don was always just a phone call, text or email away. He essentially took our hands and walked us through the entire process as it was our first home purchasing experience. He made EVERYTHING easy and stress-free. We consider him a good friend after this and will surely be inviting him to our housewarming party (once we are able to safely host). We will be using his services again and will surely recommend him to everyone we know.

ZillowVERIFIED Selling a property is always difficult. Add to the difficulty being an out of state seller, selling a property owned by a close family member that recently passed away and doing all this during the pandemic. Don was professional, responsive, authentic and sincere in his interactions with me. Don was available when needed and consistently went the extra mile to assure that the process worked seamlessly. The property was listed, marketed, shown and sold in a matter of days. I could not have been more pleased with the process or the result. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to others.

ZillowVERIFIED Don was a great help even before we began working with him--his blog answered more questions in ten minutes than the hours we'd spent googling. From start to finish, he was attentive to our needs and always available. He understood our preferences well enough to find a house that was exactly what we wanted (really--straight out of our dreams), and he was prepared for every contingency throughout the process. He turned the daunting prospect of house-hunting into a pleasure. We wholeheartedly recommend him.

Review for Member: Donald Chisholm
ZillowVERIFIED From our first meeting, it was clear that Don was the agent to guide us through the sale of our home. Calm, confident and patient, he explained the whole process to us and walked through the house with us, offering honest, yet polite, advice on items that should be done to enhance market value. He had expert knowledge of the market for our house, but allowed us to make the decisions that were right for us and supported us in those decisions. He was always available to us - in fact, all of our meetings with him were after regular business hours to meet our schedule. If he did not answer a call immediately, we received a return call within an hour. Don kept us informed of every aspect of the sale: showings, feedback from other agents who showed the house, information on active listings within our market area - everything we needed to make informed decisions on the sale. After receiving 8 offers within three days after listing, he also helped us to determine the best offer, based on a number of factors that we would never have known to consider on our own. Don truly made the sale of our home a stress-free, even enjoyable process. We recommend him, without reservation, to anyone contemplating selling a home!

His knowledge of even the most minute details in a home was impressive and I really enjoyed touring homes with him. You can tell Don knows his stuff and enjoys what he does.

ZillowVERIFIED One of the reasons I asked Don to be my realtor when selling my house was due to his knowledge of the market in which my home was located. But one of the main reasons I ultimately chose to move forward with Don was his honest nature. Not once did he try talking me into something I wasn't comfortable with nor did he make unattainable promises. He's a very genuine person. I had never sold a home before and he was always available to answer questions. I also felt he went above and beyond in his duties - I have an indoor/outdoor cat and he would make sure she was inside after showings. I was really impressed with Don and he exceeded my expectations in every way. I would highly recommend him when buying or selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Don is the best! A friend recommended him to me, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great realtor. He's very responsive and straightforward. At one house that I liked, he pointed out that the only access to the only full bathroom was through the master bedroom. So no shower for guests! Then when I found the house I wanted (and others did too), he guided me through the offer and negotiation process smoothly and effectively. Less then a month later, I've moved in!

ZillowVERIFIED Anytime I had a question Don got back to me immediately. This was my first experience selling a house and it was super easy with him helping us out. It took us a bit to get things together to put the house on the market but we were never pressured or rushed, and when we did put it up it went very quickly and every step of the way he was there to help out.
