Sean McDonald Real Estate Consultant Real Estate Resource Sean C. McDonald

I am originally from Oak Park and currently rent in the Wicker Park Neighborhood.

I've been involved in the real estate business since I was a kid helping my father with managing his properties and others that his company managed. My first deal was right out of college negotiating a lease for my bar that I opened up after graduating from SIU. I work with developers and investors of all levels from Million Dollar homes in Oak Park, River Forest, and Northern Chicago. To lower in

come developments on the south and west side of Chicago. I enjoy the process of finding the perfect investment for my clients and getting their projects sold in a timely manner so they can continue business as usual. Coming from the customer service industry I believe that every client should be treated like they are staying at a five-star hotel and that all of their needs are meet whatever it may be from the information of the value of their property as well as navigating the renting, buying and selling process. My personal philosophy of business is quite simple. I believe in effective marketing, exceptional customer service, and most importantly hard work. I work as long as it takes to satisfy my client's needs and have an incredible group to assist me at Keller Williams. I am easily reachable via mobile phone or e-mail at virtually all times of the day. I pride myself on my personal commitment and long-standing relationships within the community. As a result, the majority of my business is generated through previous clients and referral business. By having a qualified team of people constantly available, we can ensure that all showing requests are accommodated and that personal attention is our top priority. This is what we believe will continue to elevate us to the top of our profession.
