TESTIMONIALS
- kuwahara lisa8Laurie did such an amazing job! My husband and I were first time home buyers and she educated us well, walking through any contract we signed page by page. When we went to open houses, she pointed out every detail and had our best interest. She was quick to respond whenever we had questions or needed advice and always felt encouraged throughout the process. We would love to work with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for homes!
- magtTop Notch! We worked with Laurie for over a year on our search to purchase the perfect family home in the Mt. Helix, La Mesa area. She was ALWAYS available for us. I can’t even count the number of homes she showed us, always working with our crazy schedules. Her background in pool design was an added bonus when discussing the possibilities of several properties. She walked us through multiple offers and kept us competitive with each one in this crazy market. In the end, she helped us get into our dream home in. We are so grateful to have worked with such a knowledgeable, professional, and connected Realtor. I highly recommend Laurie if you want to work someone who you always has your best interest at heart and is as invested as you are in finding the perfect home.
- carmenrestrepo3It was a pleasure to work with Laurie and her team. We were impressed with the photos of our home and her marketing strategies. We were not sure what to expect during a pandemic, but Laurie brought in multiple buyers with offers at and above our asking price. We valued her advice and appreciated how she kept our best interest in mind every step of the way. Laurie is a realtor you can count on to get the job done. We are truly grateful for everything she did in helping us sell our home. If you want a trustworthy, hardworking, knowledgeable realtor, I would highly recommend Laurie.
- erinkellyrelphLaurie knows La Mesa! To say that we were nervous to list our house during a global pandemic would be an understatement, but Laurie came through big time. Not only did we sell - we sold for over asking! Selling a house is stressful in any time, but Laurie made sure to keep us informed. She made every step of the way easy, always letting us know where we were in the process and was super responsive to any questions we had. If you're looking to sell (or buy) Laurie is your person! She will be sure to advocate for you and get you the best deal.
- aimeeo36It was a pleasure to work with Laurie. We bought our home while living across the country, and Laurie's expertise, attention to detail, and responsiveness allowed us to feel calm and confident about the process. We are now happily living exactly where we had hoped to be!
- user91696827Laurie was an amazing realtor. She was easy to work with and made the process painless. Laurie was very patient when we were looking at homes and made sure she listened to my wife’s wants and needs. We first started working with her when we decided to put our house up for sale. She helped us understand the market and be realistic. She explained what we could invest in to maximize our return on this home. I would definitely recommend her. It is definitely a good idea vestment of time to work with her.

Laurie Macdonald is a professional and friendly realtor who will represent you and look out for your best interests. I would give Laurie 10 stars if possible.

She promptly answered all questions and concerns I had. Laurie is a true professional, very knowlegable, and helped me close escrow in 21 days!
- pevjonesMy Realtor, Laurie MacDonald, was absolutely the BEST you could ever ask for. She understood my needs on the sell of my property, took action and got it done. She is kind, professional and I consider her a dear friend now. I was in a really bad situation and she & her fabulous team fought to meet the demands of my critical situation....done deal!!!! Love her!!!!!
- cherylaforehandI recently bought a condo in El Cajon. I contacted Laurie and she lined up a few more choices. We ended up placing an offer right away and Laurie worked night and day on it. You cant go wrong with Laurie. She is dedicated, intelligent, knows San Diego and has a great personality. There was not one glitch (other than very difficult sellers) in the sale. Laurie made buying convenient and easy. I will use her services again. Highly recommend!!!
- mjcamblin5.0 star rating 7/6/2017Laurie McDonald is my real estate agent. She always will be. I had a gentleman who lived next door to me, who died and left me half of his home. Having no experience in this area, I quickly called Laurie and she made this sale so smooth and stress free that I'll be forever grateful. She knew her stuff when it came to Trust sales, inheritance and went the extra mile to set up an estate sale for us. She's involved in our city of La mesa, our Parks and Rec. dept, merchant association and is deeply committed to everything she tackles. Greatest real estate agent ever!
