ZillowVERIFIEDBuying and selling a home at the same time is complicated and my transaction had many moving parts. Kimberlie MacDonald of Coldwell Banker Realty made what could have been an overwhelming process feel seamless from beginning to end. Months before I was even ready to sell my home, Kimberlie found my perfect lakefront home with the full lake view I had always wanted. She stayed in close contact with the listing agent while I prepared to put my home on the market, ensuring the opportunity wouldn't slip away. Once my home was listed, Kimberlie skillfully negotiated with the listing agent to have my contingent offer accepted in a challenging market. She even secured the option for me to preoccupy my new home if needed, providing invaluable peace of mind throughout the process. She marketed my home beautifully, attended every showing, and guided every detail of the sale. Thanks to her expertise, my home sold for what I considered a fair price and within the timeline needed to make my move possible. Coordinating two transactions with so many complexities was no small feat, and Kimberlie handled every challenge with professionalism, persistence, and exceptional communication. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Today, I get to enjoy my dream of living the lake life every single day. Thank you, Kimberlie MacDonald of Coldwell Banker Realty, for making it all happen!

ZillowVERIFIED I have worked with several agents in my lifetime, but Kimberlie is something special. She goes above and beyond to find you exactly, and I mean exactly what you are looking for. It doesn't matter how crazy your request may seem, if it's out there, she will find it. We lived in Buffalo NY looking for a house in Florida, didn't really know where, or what we really wanted, she helped us figure that out. With all of her years of experience, knowledge of the area and knowing what questions to ask to REALLY find out what each person wants, then what is really important to each person in the household. She did it. Once we found the house of our dreams she negotiated a fantastic deal on our behalf. She was always in constant contact with us every step of the way, anytime we had a question, no matter how small we could call or text her and she never made us feel like we were bothering her. I recommend her to everyone I meet.

ZillowVERIFIED Kimberlie was great to work with from start to finish in selling our home. She gave us advice prior to listing to help us prepare the property to sell. It sold very quickly and the whole process was stress free! We highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.

ZillowVERIFIED Kimberlie is a great realtor, who is extremely knowledgeable about the local area, as a first time home buyer. She help guide me to find the perfect home for my own needs. Every home I was able to tour with her she pointed out several new things that I should keep in mind about either the property or the neighborhood. Whether that was restaurants in the area I should try, local parks I could on run in or areas of the property that looked neglected and might be points to push during negotiations. For example even though the property I purchased through Kimberlie was an aEURoeas isaEUR? sale. Kimberlie was able to convince the seller that they should repair part of the roof and have an electrician re-wire part of the house which wasnt to code. Kimberlie was a great realtor, who I plan to employ again in the future next time I sell this property/ buy a new home.Whether your a first time home buyer like me, looking for a place to retire or raise a family. Kimberlie is a great realtor to employ in the Southern Tampa Bay Area around Bradenton/ Lakewood Ranch, FL.

ZillowVERIFIED We enjoyed working with Kimberlie! She listened to what our needs/wants were and she found us the perfect house! She took care of everything and kept us on track as we were also selling our home in Georgia. She was just what we needed in a realtor during an exciting but hectic time. I would highly recommend Kimberlie!

ZillowVERIFIED Kimberlie helped us through our first home buying experience like no other! After using an escalation clause to help us outbid 5 other offers, she made the closing period very stress free and was super patient in answering all our questions. I highly recommend her!!!

Review for Member: Kimberlie MacDonald
ZillowVERIFIED Meeting Kimberlie was nothing short of serendipitous. My husband and I had started our search sans realtor. After attending several open houses, the last one was hosted by Kimberlie. While we lost the bid war for that house, we felt we had found our realtor! Kimberlie is down-to-earth, fun, knowledgeable AND professional. Even throughout the closing, she made it all almost too easy. We never felt any pressure from her. I could not have asked for a better experience and would recommend her without hesitation. My husband and I are extremely grateful for Kimberlie.

ZillowVERIFIED Kimberlie was a patient trooper for over a year as my wife and I visited neighborhood after neighborhood. Her expert knowledge of not only RE but rehab landscape and just about any questions we had was very helpful. She has excellent contacts in the manatee county area to get information on just about anything. I will recommend her to anyone that is looking at real estate either buying or selling in the area.

ZillowVERIFIED Kimberlie was such a pleasure to have as my real estate agent. She was our aEURoeeyes and earsaEUR? when we purchased our home sight unseen since we were unable to travel to the area due to COVID. She was a tremendous resource in all matters, and was always available anytime of the day to answer my questions or to resolve any situations that arose.She led the closing team to circumvent any possible delays, and escalated any issues that arose. She was professional, organized and a wealth of information. I felt she went above and beyond her aEURoereal estate agent duties" to make our home purchase as smooth and pleasant as possible (especially without us being there!).

ZillowVERIFIED Kimberlie is just plain excellent at what she does. She was multitasking in so many ways through the sale of our home (which she sold in one week btw) leading into purchasing our new home. She was patient and gave clear direction and communication while she carried the weight of the details, organization and negotiations! She solved issues before they became issues, she spared us a lot of stress! Thank you Kimberlie, you rocked it! I would not recommend anyone else for your real estate needs in the area, she is the go to without a doubt!

ZillowVERIFIED Kimberlie, hit the ground running once we signed up with her. She had us on open house every weekend and the marketing plan she put together was fantastic. Her knowledge of the market and adverse effects covid 19 was going to have on our listing did not stop her from being creative with her approach to potential buyers. If there was a negative she contacted the buyer and turned it into a positive. When the husband/wife buyers had different issues with pricing Kimberlie jumped in and saved the moment so everyone was a winner. We had our concerns that the deal was not going to happen but she assured us she would make the sale. We were lucky to have found her foe she is a dynamo and a wonderful person.

ZillowVERIFIED Kimberlie is the best agent we have ever had handle a real estate transaction! We have moved many times, Florida, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, with many moves within several states, and have met no one more "on top of every aspect".

ZillowVERIFIED Kimberlie sold us the house originally and she did such a great job that she was the first person we thought of when it came time to sell. Kimberlie works hard to make sure that we were informed of the process and negotiated fiercely to make sure we got the best possible price. I highly recommend her to anyone who is either in the market for a house or looking to sell.

ZillowVERIFIED I knew Kimberlie was the Realtor I wanted to list my house within 5 minutes of meeting her! She has a spunky personality while maintaining professionalism and came prepared with local market trends, comps, etc...that helped immensely in determining the best listing price. Does she live up to her reputation with local market knowledge and expertise -YES as I had a contract on my home within 72 hours of listing!

ZillowVERIFIED Kimberlie is amazing! She completely took the burden and stress of selling my home off my shoulders. Within one day of being on the market I had several offers and the house was sold within the month. Kimberlie works with you, works for you and I would choose her as my realtor every time.

ZillowVERIFIED Kimberlie did a great job for purchase of our first condo in FL. We appreciated her time and patients throughout the process. She did a great job listening to our requests and following the pattern we wanted in our condo. She pointed out specific hot spots and listed pro and cons of those locations. We were pleased with her persistent actions toward our requests and worked her best to accommodate our needs in offering any help towards sealing our deal.

ZillowVERIFIED I met her through a web site while searching for properties in Sarasota. It was the best thing that could have happened to me. She is not only a very efficient, hard working, and masterful realtor, but also a sweet and wonderful person. Without here skills, I would not have been able to get the property that I fell in love with. The way that she presented the offer (escalating bid) to the seller, was brilliant and pivotal. I not only got the best house I could afford but also a great new friend too.

ZillowVERIFIED Kimberlie helped us successfully find the perfect home for our family. When it was time to relocate, she then helped us sell that home a few years later. She gave us expert advice on how we could receive top dollar, which we adhered to. It sold in two days at our full asking price which was a quick and painless process thanks to her handling the sale. In the years we have known Kimberlie, she has been a reliable and trustworthy realtor due to her professional expertise, but she has also become a treasured friend because of her genuine concern for us.We are once again shopping for a new home and of course are relying on Kimberlie. Shes the best there is and we have complete confidence in her.

ZillowVERIFIED I liked Kimberlie from the first conversation I had with her when we started looking for a home. We weren't even sure exactly where we wanted to live yet. Kimberlie was prepared with a list of homes either within our budget or pretty close and kept our wants in mind. She was knowledgeable about the area and because of that we found the perfect home. She kept in touch with us through the whole process from the offer right through the closing. Kimberlie was very professional and sensitive to all our needs. It was a little scary as we have never been through the purchase of a home so far away from where we were coming from in Kentucky but Kimberlie kept us informed as to what steps we needed to take to finish out the process through the closing. I would recommend Kimberlie to anyone looking to buy a home. She's the best!!

ZillowVERIFIED I am finally telling my story about the nightmare my wife and I endured. I was recommended Mrs. Macdonald and she came in not only working my side of the deal but ended up helping the homeowners too, which, okay thats fine. The problem was she left my side high and dry. We Lost money that I charged for rent on a signed contract, lost money do to the disaster the homeowners left the property. Oh that was another signed contract, that I lost money on. She did everything to close the deal no matter what and whos expenses, it didnt matter. I will swear on the Holy Bible, she said aEURoe I hope they get back before the old man diesaEUR?. Referring to when the homeowners went up north to find a new home. The Husband was deteriorating and thats why they were selling. She wanted the deal done that bad! Also trying to relate to the other side of the deal, she told the the homeowners right in front of me that she understood her situation that she had 2 wonderful kids and 2 kids that were a disaster! Really, thats real professional isnt it? She is morally, ethically, and professionally a terrible woman, right to the core. I will stand by my comments %100! Dont make the same mistake I did!

ZillowVERIFIED Kimberlie McDonald is an extraordinary realtor. Her professionalism and patience exceeded all of our expectations. We have bought and sold many homes in the past,and she is by far the best realtor! No matter how many questions we asked and re- asked, she answered all of our concerns promptly by phone, text or email. After spending only a few hours with her one afternoon, Kimberlie was able to precisely and accurately target the area and type of community that would be a perfect match. She was there every step of the way from the search , the purchase and through to closing. She guided us with expertise and a fabulous sense of humor. What a great experience!

It was a great house but for some reason it was hard to sell. Kimberlie came in and took over and right away our showings increased. Then after a few months listed with her, it sold!! She is so sweet and was always available for whatever we needed. We appreciate her more than she will ever know. I would recommend her in a minute! Fantastic!

ZillowVERIFIED One of the things I noticed about Kimberlie is she took as much time with me as needed regardless of the fact that the property I purchased was less expensive as some and her commission would be much less than the other properties she showed. Kimberlie was extremely professional, easy to get along with and supportive of all of my decisions. I'd recommend her to anyone interested in purchasing property in the area.

Review for Member: Kimberlie MacDonald
ZillowVERIFIED We contacted Kimberlie and asked her to help us find a home in the Sarasota area. We were in New York and Kimberlie was in Sarasota. That did not deter her. We were in frequent contact as she helped us find places that met our criteria. And, when we finally me Kimberlie in person she was well prepared to show us a detailed list of properties. Her knowledge of the area was impressive as was her understanding of what we really wanted. She reviewed each properties pluses and minuses relative to our criteria but never made a judgement as she made sure to give us room to determine what we liked. We found a place that is perfect for us. Without Kimberlie, we doubt that would have happened. She's the best.

ZillowVERIFIED This agent was very helpful with details that weren't obvious such as how to find financing appropriate to our situation, practical staging of our house for photos as well as prospective buyers and having an open house at early evening, the most dramatic time of day to fully appreciate our view to the west and setting sun. She was as pleasant to work with as she was efficient.
