Ms. MacDonald is an awesome, wonderful person, and a very professional realtor, she went above and beyond in helping us purchase our beautiful home. She guided us with her expertise advice. She made the process very smooth and relaxed. All her recommendations were super great. She really knows her stuff, very experienced realtor. No matter the time of the day we contacted her, she responded right away. Very smart, knowledgeable, efficient, and has excellent interpersonal skills. We are so grateful for everything she has done for us. Ms. MacDonald is the best realtor EVER. We are so thankful for her hard work and would definitely recommend her. From The Allen Family.
Katie helped us find our dream house! We'd scheduled a few tours with her one morning and she went out of her way to get us to see an extra house (the one we bought) that had been put on the market the night before. Amazing! She was highly responsive and very straightforward, which we really appreciated. It was clear that she would never sell a house that wasn't high quality.
We cannot recommend anyone more than Katie as a realtor! We worked with many realtors before we came across her! Katie got to know us well over our at least 2 year quest for our growing family and would not settle for the lots of overpriced junk out there! She always shows up on time and put up with our Indiscisivness, worked with our schedules bent over backwoods till we got the house that best suited our needs! She got us to see homes as soon as we found them or they showed up and she recommended we take a look. Katie worked all hours of day and night responding instantly even on vacation! She researched houses before we got inside and When we got inside she knew what we needed to look out for what repairs to expect and what was a good price to offer that would get us the house in we liked it! She knows everyone and asked question n worked with selling realtors in our interest! When we found the one she even worked with the lenders getting our mortgage they quickly, pushed us in every hoop we needed to jump thru, every inspector, banker and even our attorney to get our closing to happen ASAP!!! She negotiated with everyone a deal that if not for her we would not have a place to call home! We cant be more thankful for Katie putting up with us and making our home a reality. There are many good realtors out there who do their job from for their own interest or as a side job! Katie put our interest first and never gave up even when we did!
We can't recommend Katie highly enough. As first time home buyers we didn't know much about the process and Katie was invaluable with her expertise. From placing the initial offer, through the inspection to closing, she was knowledgable, attentive, and helpful every step of the way. She was always responsive and promptly answered our questions. She was also genuinely friendly and a delight to interact with. Everyone should be so lucky to work with a realtor like this.
I cannot say enough for how grateful we are of Katie helping guide us through the process of buying our first home. She was extremely honest about the homes we saw, knowledgeable about the market and local community, and responsive to any questions we had. Katie also helped point us in the right direction for certain items after our bid on the home was accepted. I would highly recommend her!
Katie is so knowledgeable, honest, and awesome. She made the process of buying our first home go so smoothly, advising us and answering any questions we had along the way. We had no idea where to start but she guided us - from viewing different listings to finally setting up a purchase offer/contract. She also helped us get the home inspection set up to make sure that was taken care of right away. We cant express our gratitude enough, and were loving our new home so much!!
Katie was extremely helpful and professional from our initial phone call to our house closing. We truly do not think our experience would have been the same if we used anyone else. She was able to get us out looking at houses on the same day, and she worked hard to get our offer accepted by the next day. She is very knowledgeable and honest and truly wants only the best for her clients. Thank you!
Katie is great to work with. She is honest in her evaluations and advice. She totally represents her clients interests and takes the time and effort to insure you get the house you want, can afford and you will love. She aEUR~tells it like it is so listen to her advice, shes a winner. We just bought a home with her as our agent and no one could have represented our interests more than Katie. Now she will be selling our home soon and I know that no one will do a better job for us than Katie.
I knew Katie by a referral from a friend and I recommended her highly to another friend today. She is extremely smart, professional, approachable, understanding, committed and considerate. As a first time buyer, we didnt need to look around many places as she knows what are the right ones for our family. She foresees things and says no to the places where not good enough for us and potential might lead into troubles. I moved in almost a year and very happy with the house and the neighborhood!!!
Katie was absolutely amazing to work with when searching for my home! I was a first time home buyer and completely new to the experience of looking for a house. Katie was confident, knowledgeable, and never pressured me to look at a home I was not interested in. She really listened to what I wanted as well as what I did not want and found several different options for me to look at. Within a few short months Katie found me exactly what I was looking for! Her honesty, commitment, and support made my home buying experience exceptional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new place!
Katie is great! I bought my last house through her and will use her anytime I buy or sell. No pressure, good insight, tells it like it is. So glad I found her as an agent.
Katie is awesome! She is the reason my husband and I are happily settled into our new home. Any time I contacted her or needed something she was very responsive and you can tell that she loves what she does. I really like how she doesn't ask that you sign a contract with her too (you don't need to because you're already going to stay with her since she a pro!) I remember when she built you the house offer (our house was only listed 3 days) and she ensured a deadline was set and everything that needed to be signed was done in a timely manner to lock the deal in for us. I recommend Katie to my friends and family and am so grateful that people like her are in this career field!
I originally was looking for homes through a family member, when I myself came across a house that Katie was the realtor for. It was not just a regular purchase of a home, I was a first time home buyer and the home she was selling was for first time home buyers only(so lots of paperwork on top of the usual lots of paperwork). It came down to the wire and what I thought was going to be my first home ended up falling through, not because of Katie or I, but miscommunication and paperwork error on the program that owned the home's end. After that deal fell through I began to work with Katie because she knew what I was looking for (multi-family homes) and she means business. I was very persistent with looking houses for sale via an app on my phone, so when I was not sending her houses I wanted to look at, she was always flooding my messages with houses I might be interested in. Any house I wanted to look at, if I could not meet with her to look at it that same day, it was set up for the next day. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to homes, and if a house is worth fixing up to become a rental property she was honest about it. Katie was not showing me homes just to make money. I was able to call her anytime with random questions (because I had a lot being a first time buyer) and never felt like I was being a bother to her. In October 2017, when she sent me the posting on what is now my home, I remembered previously looking at the add on the house and it was literally only on the market for 24 hours before someone had made an offer and it became untouchable. She told me she had been keeping an eye on this house because it was everything and had everything I told her her that I wanted. When I did the walk through, they say you know its the house you want as soon as you walk in and let me tell you that is the truth. Katie knew that if I did not make a decision on the home quick it would be sold. She actually told me "if your father does not buy the house (because he owns many rental properties and wanted it) that she was going to buy it." There were many issues with the closing on behave of the seller and Katie was very persistent with the seller and their realtor to get the job done while updating me just about everyday. Fast forward to now, April 2018, we still keep in contact, calling her for ideas and advice with my home(mostly the rental half). Anyone I speak to that is interested in buying, ESPECIALLY first time home buyers I automatically recommend her. She even is helping me prepare my rental part of the house to put an add up, not for money, but because she loves her job. I told her the other day, I cannot wait to finish this property so I can buy another one with you. I 100% recommend working with Katie MacDonald to find the home you want, because if anyone can, it is her and I am saying this from experience because I worked with other realtors before her.
Very personable and hard working. Had a few difficulties with sellers and Katie was able to smooth things out or find a better option. Never tried to sell you a house just to sell it but wanted to make sure that the home fits what you want and need. Pointed out all falts she saw with a home and looks for possible grants you may be able to get.
We couldn't have asked for more from a realtor than the service that was provided by Katie. She helped us find our dream home when all the odds were stacked against us. We were in a rental and were under an extreme time crunch to find a home, with very little inventory on the market. Katie knew what we were looking for and she didn't waste any time getting us in to see something new to the market immediately. Katie has an excellent knowledge of the Syracuse market and we really appreciate her going above and beyond to answer all of our questions and address our concerns. Katie obviously has an excellent rapport with other realtors and we feel that she gave us educated and fair advice when deciding the terms of our Purchase Agreement, and she did an excellent job advocating for us. Thanks to Katie, we didn't have to settle for less than what we wanted due to the state of the market and the negotiating process was seamless. We strongly recommend Katie as an excellent agent to use when looking for your new home.
Katie was awesome to work with! She was always there to answer any questions or concerns, and genuinely cared about our family and getting us into the right home. I can't say enough good things about her and I highly recommend her!
She was very helpful in both the process of selecting a house and closing on a house. She was professional and courteous throughout the process, and did everything asked of her and more.
As a first time home buyer Katie was especially great to work with and helped us cut through all the noise. She was patient and informative throughout the process and communicated with us regularly. While we hope to be in our home for many years to come, I'd definitely work with her again and have already recommended her to my friends.
She help me to see the houses with completely suggestions and advices very nice lady with great attitude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is one of the best real estate agents I met.
I can not express how much Katie has been a support to my family- My one goal for my family was to become a homeowner, but having no support- or a person who would take me seriously or who would listen made the goal feel more like a day dream. Katie not only told my goal was attainable- she showed me how to get there with the most respect and encouragement I have ever received since I began the journey to home ownership. Her words to me were, " whenever you feel stressed out, or like you need to vent- call me." unbelievable. Because she put so much effort into my family and our goal- I stayed focused and kept (and keep) fighting through all of the stress. It felt like she wanted nothing more than to see those who have been told time and time again that there is no help out there- and they can not be homeowners- prove that with a little guidance and integrity we most certainly can- (AND DID). So, I not only recommend Ms. MacDonald, I would hope there are more agents who follow her lead.
Onondaga County Community Development offers homeownership opportunities to low and moderate first-time home buyers. When it came time to add another realtor to our team we were very fortunate to come in contact with Katie MacDonald of Oaktree Realty. Since the people purchasing our homes are all first-time buyers we needed a realtor that possessed the skills (and patience) to work with our clients, guiding and educating them through the entire home buying process. Katie invariably treats our clients with courtesy and respect and always accommodates everyone's needs and requests. She helps our clients select a home, submit a purchase offer, find and apply for appropriate financing, and finally close on the property. Katie has become an important asset to our organization and we look forward to working with her the future.
We couldn't be happier with the service accorded us from Katie MacDonald on the sale of our property in Syracuse, NY. She was personable, responsible, and fair. She was right-on with the price point and sold the property quickly. We were impressed with her expertise and would hire her again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend Katie MacDonald for any kind of real estate needs.
Katie is a very diligent Realtor. She has helped me find and secure fixer upper properties in the CNY area over the past 8 years. She has also represented me as a sellers agent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Her knowledge of the Syracuse Real Estate market is extensive. She always answers her phone and and her negotiation skills are excellent. Very pleased with my experiences working with her A.I. Syracuse NY
