Elaine made our dreams come true. She was referred to me by a co-worker and I was hesitant to call because we already had a realtor working with us. It was our first home buying experience and I didn't know exactly what to expect from our realtor. We met her out of respect for my co-worker and boy was it a good move. When we did walk-throughs of the prospective houses she walked around with us and pointed out all the issues and features. Our other realtor sat on his phone in [...]

Elaine is THE BEST! If I can elaborate, she truly cares about her clients, has the experience and knowledge to lend wise advice, and is completely invested in exceeding expectations. Elaine looks after anybody seeking to purchase or sell with her, lending accurate insight to market value and property maintenance costs. My wife and I were blown away by her attention to detail when assessing our home’s value, and making sure we stick to our guns through the home buying process, avoiding [...]

Jerek Walker - Buyer 2018

Elaine helped sell my childhood home and when my husband and I started to look for our first house we began looking in a different area we were more knowledgeable about. But when we decided to change the area we were looking we knew we needed someone who knew the area so my mother recommended Elaine. Not only did she provide us with the knowledge we were looking for she found us a house we love that we would never have even looked at if it wasn't for her. She helped us with the whole [...]

Kari Heggie - Seller/Buyer 2019

We recently sold our home with Elaine and her team as our realtor. She is very professional, personable, and knowledgeable about the entire buying/selling process. She provided us with contractor names who completed work for us in a timely manner allowing the house to sell quickly. As we had moved out of state during the selling process, her assistance was invaluable to us! She kept us informed, and calm, during the entire process. She has years of experience in real estate and it shows! We [...]

Ann Marie Fantasia - Seller/Buyer 2017

We bought our house with Elaine and sold it with Elaine 7 years later. Elaine is knowledgeable, professional, responsive and always acted 100% with our interests in mind. She was direct and honest with us as we prepared to put our house on the market, and worked with us for months before we put out house on the market so it was "Buyer Ready" by the time the sign went up. We got our first offer within a few days (a low-ball offer that Elaine told us to reject out of hand) [...]

We've used Elaine McDonald many times over the years to both buy & sell our homes in the area. She's extremely knowledgeable about the area and the entire buying/selling processes. Elaine tells it like it is (without being harsh) and there is no drama or overinflation of an issue when dealing with her. I can't possibly overstate her competence and experience. She's has a great presence on the internet as well and did a great job of getting our listing out [...]

Theknight (buyer/seller) Reviewed 2/21/15

I have known Elaine for more than 30 years. She is a consummate real estate professional, knowledgeable and client focused. Elaine sold two houses for me and helped us find our present home. Personally, I would not think of using anyone else if I need the services of a realtor.

Doug Pizzi Reviewed on: 2/03/17

There is no better real estate professional agent out there! Elaine expertly guided us through a difficult real estate transaction. She is incredibly knowledgable about location, market conditions and even home structural issues. Even after we closed, Elaine was there to answer questions and guide us through other challenges. She adds tremendous value and I would enlist her services again with no hesitation.

Suzanne Hermalyn - Buyer 2019

Elaine did a great job selling my townhouse condo. She knows the local market area and how to set a price that is fair and will get offers. She went out of her way to help when difficult issues arose during the inspection including helping me hire people to fix things and/or negotiating with buyers. Such as a rear deck that needed repair. She and her team were responsive to emails and calls all the time and were able to [...]

CW Symansky (Seller) Reviewed 8/02/16

Elaine and Doug were always prompt with answering questions. Doug was a great help with all the side chores that go with selling, especially since I was between Massachusetts and Rhode Island much of the time. Clearly, Elaine and her team are proficient at guiding homeowners through the multiple challenges of obtaining a successful sale.
