Modern Homes

Kelly Macdonald was wonderful to work with! She is very knowledgable about the area we were interested in, she was always ready to answer any questions we had, and guided us through the whole buying process smoothly. We are a very picky buyers and she was endlessly searching for our dream home in La Jolla and thanks to her the whole experience of buying a house from the east coast was a breeze! We would highly recommend Kelly to anyone since she exceeded all our expectations!.

I've been working with Deb to find a second home. I'm a real estate attorney from NC and Deb understands what information I need to feel comfortable. She is patient, knowledgeable, and everything you would want in the person representing you on a complex transaction.

Kelly Macdonald is an amazing realtor! We listed our home with another agent in June 2019 and after several frustrating months switched to Kelly. The difference between the level of service and professionalism was night and day. Kelly linked us to an amazing staging company that really made our listing pop off the page and stand out from other listing and our listing was in the top viewed categories on multiple websites for months. Kelly also provided many cost effective tips and upgrades to further increase the wow factor of our property. Even in these crazy times of COVID 19 Kelly remained diligent on getting our home sold and we continued to rece...

We had been contemplating a full-time move to La Jolla from the Midwest for many years. We worked with several Realtors along the way and then we found Deb! She was absolutely fantastic. She lives in the community and knows the local market very well. She was very patient and always available - and enthusiastic - as we looked at many properties. We never felt pressured. She is a strong negotiator and successfully handled a few complicated scenarios before we found the perfect place. We were extremely impressed with her follow-thru after the sale. She helped us locate some quality contractors for some work that needed to be done to transition the hou...

Kelly is an amazing realtor...you couldn't do better. In a very competitive market, she came in, assessed our property, and immediately set to work ensuring we'd sell our house in a timely manner and get top dollar for it. She also helped with timelines, has an amazing staff of stagers, and set up all of our inspections, showings and document signings with ease. She didn't miss a step the entire process. We sold in record time and made over $250,000 OVER what we expected. Hire Kelly. You won't be disappointed.

It is our immense pleasure to recommend Deb Schrakamp as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home for their unique situation. After relocating to California from New York, Deb had an initial meeting with us and took diligent notes regarding our specific needs in the type of home we desired as well as our budgetary limitations. She is highly talented and made excellent use of the relevant search engines and real estate databases to quickly find us a variety of homes for sale in areas that were of interest to us. She did not waste our time with homes that were out of our price range or not in line with our needs o...

We had been looking for a house on and off for a couple of years and Kelly was awesome the whole time. She really helped us hone in on what we wanted and then made finding the perfect home for our family a reality. Plus, she did it all during a pandemic when we were two states away! We love Kelly and are sure you will too.

Deb is amazing - period. As a finance professional relocating to La Jolla with my family, I could not have asked for a better agent - whom our entire family is not lucky to call friend. Deb has excellent in-depth knowledge of local inventory and its history. She seeks first to understand what you want - or think you want (she can help you refine that) - and is comfortable speaking candidly about the area. She'd rather find you a perfect match than simply close a deal. As a career sales professional, she appreciates the value of relationships over transactions and has brought that ethos to her real estate practice. She has the perspective of a local ...

Literally could not have had a better advisor and advocate throughout and even after the process was complete. Kelly was responsive and supportive and was available by text/phone/email any time we needed it. But beyond that she was instrumental to advocating for us as the buyer, and communicating the intent and needs of the seller. Without her I am sure we would not have ended up in our dream home. Since going under contract she has walked us through every step and quirk in the process, even when we had special requests and needs.

My husband and I purchased out dream home about 5 months ago. Deb was our Realtor and we were extremely pleased with her ability to communicate with us and negotiate our terms. Specifically we felt she fought for what was important to us and she didn't push us - she could tell when we were excited about an opportunity and when we weren't. We felt comfortable and we took our time to get the place that fit us perfectly! She was patient and made the deal happen when we were ready. I will be using her again and highly recommend her.
