Every aspect of the sale was handled with precision, discretion, and sophistication. They understood how to showcase the property beautifully, create the right exposure, and strategically navigate every detail of the transaction. Their communication was exceptional, and we always felt that our home and our interests were being represented at the highest level.

Fantastic experience: Selling my 7-acre property in Mount Dora was bittersweet because I truly loved it. I had planned for it to become an extension of our animal sanctuary. It was a peaceful, private property tucked away in nature, with a pond at the bottom of the hill, beautiful mature landscaping, and a wonderful property manager next door who helped keep everything looking its best. Monica McDonald and her team understood how special this property was. They didn’t just list it—they created beautiful marketing, including creative videos that were fun to watch on TikTok, advertised it in high-end publications, and did an excellent job showcasing what made the property unique. Throughout the process, Monica was a great communicator. She kept me informed about every showing, shared feedback promptly, and was always available to answer questions. Her team was caring, responsible, and professional from start to finish. In the end, Monica found buyers who seem to appreciate and care about the property as much as I did, which made letting it go a little easier. I highly recommend Monica and her team to anyone looking for knowledgeable, hardworking real estate professionals

Fantastic experience: It's such a pleasure to review Monica McDonald's and her team (Greg, Aida, and Michelle) service as realtors! They all were extremely professional and efficient in helping us to save our house in beautiful Mount Dora. First and foremost, they work in favor of their clients (not like other realtors who work for themselves) They were opened to our expectations and fulfilled those to the point. Second, their diverse approach helped a lot to sell the house quickly and as expected (they help you to clean/declutter, and leave the house ready for sell. Thanks Michelle and Greg!). Then, their strategy worked perfect! They started with an open house (thanks Aida!). We had an offer in less than three hours! Greg and Monica also helped us throughout the negotiating process (credit, final price). Finally, even after the selling they helped us to bring some things we forgot to bring from our house (thanks Greg and Monica). Adjectives to qualify their work: quick, efficient, friendly and loyal! We recommend Monica and her team for whoever wants to have a great real estate deal!

Fantastic experience: We knew, when we moved onto Deer Island almost five years ago, that we would want Monica working for us should we decide that this was not our forever home after all. She is always present in the community and gives many small but meaningful seasonal gifts that remind you of her commitment to the island and the people. Besides that, and her relentless positive energy and tireless work ethic, the many signs speak for themselves…for sale, pending, sold. She is obviously the Island specialist. From the day we signed she hit the ground running. Photo tours, open houses, online marketing, weekly detailed communications. On top of the work, her unwavering integrity in the market brought us through what could have been hitches that arose but were handled proficiently. Thank you so very much for helping us to successfully move on to the next chapter of our lives.
