Knowledgeable, Friendly, Enthusiastic

We had met John through neighborhood and events and felt he really cared for our community. It was our first time selling a house so we needed a lot of patience and guidance. The same technical things that made our eyes glaze over, made his eyes light up. John and his team were always on the ball, answering questions and making the suggestions that made the experience really great and didn't leave us feeling pressured into any decisions. We needed some extra time in the house after the sale, we got it. We wanted just the right people to replace us in the neighborhood, we got it. We left town for a few days and John kept an eye on the house for us. Here is the icing on the cake... We were buying a house at the coast and choices were limited. John helped us find an agent at the coast and actually gave us the lead for the house we wound up buying!

Best decision we could have made

Best decision we could have made

When my husband and I decided to sell our home we choose John McKay and his team to assist. We were and still are grateful for the professionalism and care they took with the entire process. It took us two years to decide that we actually wanted to sell, John was in communication the entire time. He was patient and researched and answered every question under the sun we had for him. Once we decided to sell our home he made the process quick, easy and understandable. As far as a team that knows the market, knows customer service and knows each minutia detail of the process, this is the team to go with.

10 stars! 5 aren't enough to describe my experience with John!

I can't speak highly enough of John Mckay as my real estate agent. Selecting an agent to sell your house can be a bit tricky, to say I got lucky with John would be a huge understatement, a flyer at my door haha. But after reviewing his home sales in my neighborhood and positive reviews from others using his services, I felt he could be the man for the job. Right from the get go upon meeting John, I knew I made the right decision, extremely professional, knowledgeable of the neighborhood, comp values, detail orientated, honesty and bonus points for having a great personality. I was able to put together a list of small items to address in regards to repairs needed to be done, and cosmetic enhancements to give the house more curb appeal. With John's help I was able to trim the list, add a few issues I overlooked, and put together a plan to get these tasks accomplished. Due to the fact that I already had vacated the property, without John's help it would've been virtually impossible to get my list completed. He had contractors and handymen lined up, basically had an answer for any issue we faced. I was amazed at the results of all the projects we were able to complete before listing the property, all done in a timely and efficient manner. The listing and offer negotiations went even better, John was able to get quite a bit more money for my property than I could've ever imagined. Throughout the entire process, John was constantly in contact with me via texts/calls/emails, keeping me up to date and informed on any issue. He was also able to do this while still respecting my own work hours, knowing what issues needed immediate answers and what issues could be discussed on my free time in the evenings and on weekends. Selling a home or property can be a stressful endeavor, I am so glad I chose John Mckay to get the job done!

I highly recommend John and his excellent team for buying and selling homes. Recently͏ sold a home I bought with John 5 years ago. John genuinely cares about his clients, is extremely knowledgeable of the PDX and Vancouver markets, and gives great advice. Plus, he's an all around great guy and I loved working with everyone on his team. John and Renee, the listing agent, were highly effective and made selling my first home so easy. You won't regret working with John and his team.

Excellent Experience Highly Recommended

We purchased this home using John McKay as our agent 6 years ago. He was soo great we contracted him to sell it this year. I think John and his team have a very good / realistic approach to help buy / sell your home. We did not get the overblown fluff that some realtors give you when the come buy to look at your home to sell. John and Renee King told us in realistic terms what we should do to prepare our hose for sale, and what not to go overboard about. That helped us narrow down our time / workload and expenditure to get the house ready. They had a good plan on market timing, and idea of what we could realistically expect to sell the house for. So did it work - You Bet! We received multiple offers, and they helped in negotiating the deal - price and likelihood to close. All through the escrow process they kept us informed. We felt that we were in good, professional hands all the way. And it fact, John helped us locate a fantastic realtor in the city we were moving to help us buy our next house. Thanks John and Renee.

John and Jordan Knock It Out of the Park!

John and Jordan Knock It Out of the Park!

John and his partner, Jordan, really went above and beyond in helping us find a new home in such a volatile marketplace. Both were very responsive to our constant barrage of questions, and they ran interference with all of the various entities involved in buying a house, allowing us to focus on our wedding at the same time.

Great team to work with

John and his team made the home buying process very easy. This team listened as we expressed what we needed and what we hoped for and they did their best to find homes that met our criteria. The process can be daunting, but our realtor, Jordan, helped to streamline things as much as possible and frequently checked in to see if we had questions or anything and to keep us in the loop about what was happening. I would use them again!
