My husband and I were not sure we would be able to purchase another home. Shawn introduced us to Matt, an FBC Mortgage broker who was able to help us out and move into our new home within 2 months! We are very grateful! Shawn knows the process and is a great negotiator. Thanks Shawn!

Shawn McDonald is a true professional. Shawn took the time to meet with me on the listings I called him about. After we previewed the listings I called him about, he asked questions which helped him understand what exactly it was I was looking for. Over the next several weeks, Shawn e-mailed me listing he thought I may be interested in. Over the course of the next several weeks, we found the perfect home when it had been on the market for only a few days. We previewed the home, made and offer, and it was accepted. We now own that home. Shawn showed great attention to detail, left no stone unturned, and was in CONSTANT communication. Shawn is a true professional. Less

Shawn has excellent knowledge of the local landscape. His famiiarity with the local builders were a welcomed source of information and helped shape our decision. I would reccomend his services to anyone seeking to purchase in Lakeland and the surrounding areas. His patience was very refreshing.

We actually switched realtors in the middle of our quest to find a home, and when it was all over, my wife and I were so glad that we found Shawn. He listened to what we were saying about what house we wanted, and didn't try to oversell us. He coached us very well through the negotiations and even after. Our closing was moved twice due to other parties, and Shawn went to bat for us several times getting the other parties moving. I do not have a single negative thing to say, I tell everyone to call Shawn. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, call Shawn, he's the best! Less

Shawn stuck with us through one failed deal and helped us negotiate through another that closed very smoothly. We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a new home. One thing in particular that we appreciated was the fact that once we told him our price range, he tried very hard to keep us within that range and never recommended properties that exceeded that range. He was always responsive, very prompt, and always courteous.

We were very happy to have Shawn McDonald work with us to buy our home. Shawn scheduled all meetings and interactions at our convenience after work and on weekends. Shawn provided us with outstanding advice throughout the buying process. Shawn promptly returned all phone calls and had multiple homes for our us to view that were in our price range and within our desired location. He worked hard, illustrated a great understanding of contract details, negotiation etiquette and documentation. We were able to find our new home within 30 days! We are confident that the reason we were able to find our new home, work through inspections and close quickly were due to Shawn's expertise. We really appreciate Shawn's reassurance and expert advice throughout the entire process. Shawn is an outstanding professional and exceeded all our expectations! Kevin and Mandy Brandt Less

Having bought and sold several expensive homes, Shawn is one of the most knowledgeable, courteous and professional realtors with whom I have worked. But above all Shawn is a great communicator.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Mr. Shawn McDonald twice in the purchasing and selling of the same home. Several years ago Shawn helped me get into the home of my dreams, unfortunately as the economy made its turn I was forced to sell my home and move out of state a few years later. The house was on the market for a time due to the unforseen changes, but Shawn was able to come up with the right strategies to sell our home to the right buyer at the right price which was good for both of us. If Shawn was able to find and sell us our next home in another state the choice would have already been made. Less

Upon arrival in Florida we had four days to find a home and wanted to be under contract before leaving. We had been communicating via email for more than six months. Not knowing the area, Mr. McDonald spent three days taking us from one end of the county to the other. We looked at new homes, existing, and met with builders to consider building. When all was said and done we left the area under contract with the home of our dreams. I would highly recommend Mr. McDonald to anyone seeking to purchase a home. Less

We were new to the Lakeland area and Shawn did a nice job of orientation. He knows the market well, listens and responds to your needs. Was very helpful in sorting out much information which led to a good purchasing decision. We would welcome having Shawn represent us again for ourselves or family.

Unlike other Realtors I had dealt with, Shawn actually listened to my wife and I, and found us a house that we could readily afford. I tried to explain to my previous realtor the difference between what I 'could' afford and what I 'should' afford but he didn't seem to get it. It was "highest price possible with at guy. Shawn was the exact opposite in every way. Not only that, Shawn negotiated with the bank and got me an even better deal than originally presented to me. If / When it comes times to buy another house, Shawn will be the first person I go to. Less

This was our first home purchase and first time working with an agent. Shawn more than exceeded our expectations and he was great to work with. Shawn helped us get the new construction home we were looking for and I look forward to working with him again!

Shawn was very responsive to our needs and sensitive to the fact that we were there from another state and had a short time frame to view homes. The homes we saw the first day were disappointing but Shawn suggested changing our search criteria and we found something the very next day!

Shawn was the best realtor. After we were very frustrated with our first realtor Shawn came in and saved the day...literally! I told Shawn what our budget was and the size of house we wanted and he called me back a few hours later with 4 house choices. He kept all the houses within budget and size. After looking at the 4 choices and not really falling in love with any of them, he showed us a model home. We loved the neighborhood but just knew we could never afford to build a house. After talking with Shawn and the office manager, we quickly found out Shawn is a great negotiator and he talked the price down to where we needed it! That very day we signed the papers to start building our very first home! Of course we hit a few bumps along the way (mostly mortgage issues) but Shawn was always just a phone call away, and always made the problem disappear! If we ever decide to move out of our beautiful new built home ( which I doubt will ever happern), we will call Shawn first and allow him to assist us in selling it and buying our next house! Our Experience with Shawn was the most professional and sincere we had seen in a long time! Less

I recently purchased a vacant parcel of property through Shawn as the realtor for the seller. Having never purchased vacant land before I was a little cautious.However, I was very pleased with Shawn from the beginning negotiations all the way through the closing. There were a few bumps in the road (none of which could have been forseen or were anyones fault), and Shawn handeled them all in a timely and professional manner. He answered any questions that I had quickly and helped me establish relationships with local builders and banks for my future homebuilding experience. After closing and still to this day I would recommend Shawn to anyone looking to buy or sell land/home. My experience with Shawn as a realtor exceeded my expectations. Less

Shawn helped me through a very long process of trying to find the perfect house. Once we did find the house, it turned out to be a short sale that took forever. Not because of Shawn but because of the sellers bank. Shawn stayed in constat touch with the sellers realtor and gave me weekly and sometimes daily reports as to where things were. When little hickups arose, they were dealt with quickly and efficiently. During the time I was trying to buy a house, Shawn also helped my parents buy a house that went very fast and very smooth. I would highly recommend Shawn for any realty needs. Should I ever sell this house, Shawn will be my first choice. Less

Shawn was undoubtedly the best thing that happened to my family when trying to sell our home. Shawn was responsive, knowledgeable and not afraid to push the envelope to get top dollar for my home. He has high ethical standards and uses exceptional analytical skills to create a plan for action that maximizes the outcome for all involved. Lastly, Shawn?s local knowledge and relationships allow him to navigate any situation. I highly recommend Shawn and his skills to represent you on either the seller or buyer side of the business. If my family and I had not moved out of the area I would use Shawn exclusively. Consider yourself lucky to have an option like Shawn for your real-estate needs. Less

Shawn goes above & beyond in his assistance. I have purchased several properties with him as well as leased properties with him, he has never let me down and always given me great advice & direction and is always still around AFTER the close. I will only use Shawn for any of my real estate needs!

Shawn was recommended to me by my son, Scott Reed, after I explained to Scott that there was a certain piece of property in Lakeland that I wanted to investigate for purchase, but was not able to personally visit the property. Short story is, due to the efforts of both Scott and Shawn my wife and I was able to purchase the property in a very efficient and timely manner. Shawn is truly a Real Estate Professional and I very much enjoyed working with him.

This was our first experience dealing with a realtor and Shawn was great. He explained everything to us and was very quick to respond when we had a question or a concern. We will definitely use him again the next time we are in the market!

Shawn helped us purchase our dream home. He made the home buying process as painless as possible. We were always informed and he was always available for answering any of our questions, before and after the sale. We would highly recommend Shawn to all our friends and family. Thanks, Chris & Elizabeth

Shawn was our son's realtor and he stepped in to assist us with our home purchase. He was very accomodating, friendly and polite. We appreciate all he did to help us secure our home.

Shawn was a wonderful and highly experienced agent to work with. He helped us to find our very first home over 6 years ago. So when it was time to upgrade and purchase another home, we called Shawn without hesitation. If you want an honest, experienced and efficient real estate agent, I would highly recommend Shawn McDonald. It was a pleasure working with him!

Shawn assisted me in buying my first home. He was always available to answer my questions and went above and beyond the job description. I am so glad that I had him as a guide as I went through the process. I would definently reccomend his services to potential buyers and sellers.

I highly recommend Shawn McDonald. He assisted us with the purchase of a forclosure and went above and beyond from beginning to end. We would definitely use Shawn for any of our future real estate transactions.

We recently used Shawn as our agent to purchase a new home. He was wonderful from beginning to end. We felt like Shawn gave us 100% all the time and was always extremely professional. Whenever we had a question and called him, he always got back with us immediately. We have already recommended him to friends and would use him again when buying/selling a home.
