Kelly Macdonald, Realtor, Century 21 Elevate Real Estate | Realtor in Calgary Alberta CA

We recently purchased our first property with Kelly and have nothing but good things to say! She was a referral from my parents who had worked with her in the past.Kelly is very knowledgable about what to be mindful of, what to look out for and what to avoid when looking at a property. Never did we have any doubts about her advice or recommendations.We genuinely felt she had our best interests in mind when looking for a longterm investment property and as our first time buying.Very responsive to phone calls, text and emails when we had any questions, and extremely helpful in navigating us through the process of buying a home.Without a doubt, if we decide to sell in the future or buy again, Kelly is the first person we'd call. Highly recommend.

Kelly helped me to buy our dream house. Her knowledge and experience in real estate is amazing. I strongly recommend her if you looking to sell or buy real estate in Calgary and sorrunding areas.

Kelly is just simply the best. Attentive, knowledgeable, experienced and she adds so much value and wisdom to the entire selling and buying process. We would never use another realtor.

My husband and I were first time home buyers and Kelly made it really easy for us. She carefully and clearly explained everything that we needed to know and was there for us every step of the way. She is friendly and professional and worked hard to get us the home that we wanted within our budget.

Kelly assisted me in brokering the sale of my original owner house with one of my neighbours. She was very professional and looked out for my security and interests.I am very happy with my experience with Kelly, and she will be my go to for any future business needs. Thank you Kelly!

I recently purchased my first home with the help of Kelly, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the first meeting, Kelly took the time to understand my needs, preferences, and budget. They patiently answered all my questions and explained every step of the home buying process, which made me feel confident and informed.Throughout the search, Kelly provided me with a variety of options that met my criteria, and they were always available to show me the properties at times that worked for me. They gave me their honest opinion about each property and pointed out potential issues that I might have missed.Overall, I am thrilled with the service that Kelly provided. They are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely care about her clients. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, especially first-time homebuyers like myself. Thank you, Kelly, for making my home buying journey so positive and enjoyable!

Kelly was great to work with! She was very prompt, was always available for us, and she seemed to really care that we bought a house that we'd be happy with. She also worked very well within our budget by showing us houses within our entire price range.I'd definitely recommend her.

Kelly Macdonald has been a great help since we listed our apartment with her till final sale in less than 2 weeks, through professional, upright and knows her job so well that recently concluded sale of our apartment via her was a cakewalk for a distant seller like me. Highly recommend her for your real estate needs.

Kelly did an incredible job on my condo search and purchase. She was referred to me by a mortgage agent whom Kelly had represented for his own home purchase – about as strong of an endorsement as I can imagine – and she immediately set to work finding me my Beltline nerd cave. She is a capable professional to the core. As someone who genuinely dislikes the process and culture of shopping – even on the most basic necessities, let alone a high-stress lifetime purchase such as a home – I can genuinely recommend Kelly to anyone looking to buy a property in the Calgary area.I am an extremely picky individual and came into the search with a stringent list of criteria – many of which would be different from a normal buyer - and unusual personal circumstances that meant I had little sense of urgency; I made it clear that I would both be unwilling to compromise on key requirements and be able to wait indefinitely for the right property to come along. I am also an anti-social and personally awkward person with a natural distrust for salespeople, meaning that I can be a difficult person to work with in an agency and buying/selling situation.None of this fazed Kelly. She very quickly started on my search, but just as quickly narrowed it based on the ranked list of criteria I provided, and the feedback I provided on the units we reviewed. At no point did I feel pressured, frustrated, or as though Kelly was wasting my time; anyone who knows me understands that is a major accomplishment! At the same time she was extremely responsive, as I asked for details about units that piqued my interest or gave my opinions on features – usually late in the evening in a very casual, “I’m just happen to be thinking about this right now but no urgency” mindset - I would always receive a reply in a very short timeframe, either that same night or first thing the following morning. These responses would be on point, comprehensive, and focused on both my immediate criteria and the long-term value of any properties we were considering (such as advising on resale value implications of my unusual criteria).I was prepared for a long search, but Kelly managed to find the perfect unit in an unexpectedly short period of time. When I was ready to move on the property – both to view it and then to make the offer – at no point did she question my certainty or the immediate “snap” nature of my decision, trusting both that the balance of priorities I was placing on the criteria that were being met (or not) and that the mental vision I was overlaying of how I would lay out and decorate the space were solid. Kelly understood that the unit had nailed the most important things I was looking for in the features that can’t be changed – location, height, facings, and floor plan – even though many things that could be changed - colour scheme, staging, fixtures, and so forth – didn’t necessarily meet my specific, but less important, criteria. She also understood that I did not want a long, drawn-out cycle of counteroffers or to lose the unit to other buyers, and together we determined an offer that was fair, under my budget, and got the deal finished quickly.Even after the deal was done and we had closed, Kelly continued to assist with her solid list of referrals for professionals to make the needed changes and turn the property into the nerd cave I had in my head, and still provide feedback on those changes.I have my nerd cave, and ten weeks later, I’m still as satisfied with the purchase as I knew I would be when Kelly found it. Before/After what Kelly found vs. what I turned it into below!Thank you.

Kelly was amazing to work with. Even though she was busy she was available the minute I needed her each day through my process even at a distance. She went the extra mile in helping me with my first house purchase and really put mind at ease by answering my many questions. Kelly clearly has much experience in her field as is evident by her knowledge and her preparation of booklets and e-mails to walk me through even the simple steps of the process in a relaxing and comfortable way. I would highly recommend Kelly as a realtor and will likely turn to her again in the future!
