“Don is the BEST! From the initial meeting in the Winter, through the home renovation process in the Summer, to the home sale in the Fall, Don clearly demonstrated how good he is at what he does. He is careful to give you information and tasks in bite-sized chunks when you need it, and never overwhelms you with unnecessary things. Every step of the way, I had 100% confidence that I was in good hands with a truly skilled professional who cared about us as customers and worked tirelessly to get the best results. Our home sold on the third day and for above asking price! We were thrilled with this result, but recognized it was due to all of his behind-the-scenes work and all of the things he had us do to make our home the best it could be for the next owner/family to enjoy. I highly recommend Don Chisholm...in addition to being an expert in real estate, he is a terrific guy and a pleasure to work with!”

“To the person lucky enough to have Don Chisholm serve as your realtor, Don is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the ins and outs of Michigan real estate practices! I met him in September 2020 when I started house hunting in my most coveted neighborhood. It's now seven weeks after closing on my dream home and Don is still eagerly answering my questions about not just homeownership, but also connecting me to the people and companies I know I'll be building lifelong relationships with when it comes to needing work done around my house. I lost count of the number of houses we viewed, but no matter how many, he never tired of my nitpickiness and was always ready to provide the information I needed from an objective point of view. I really appreciated his responsiveness and ability to work quickly. I always felt he had my best interest at heart. Where I was willing to overlook certain things because I really just wanted a house, he would lay out the potential pitfalls and costly mistakes I'd face if I jumped in too soon. Trust me, he will work as your advocate and even better, he makes the homebuying process and its connected paperwork feel like a breeze. Once my offer was accepted, his customized timeline saved me more than a time or two! Don's background is uniquely varied and his professional experiences are an awesome mix of what leads him to helping you find your forever home. Because he possesses all of these stellar qualities, I highly recommend you hire Don Chisholm for all your real estate needs.”

“Don was an incredible real estate professional throughout the home-buying process. I was re-locating from New York to the Michigan area and needed a reliable pair of boots and eyes on the ground since I'd be buying a home remotely, which (needless to say) is a daunting and scary undertaking. But from our very first virtual meeting, Don immediately put me at ease. He knows the market very well and was able to translate all of the items on my "must-have" and "wish list" inventories into real and tangible listings for me to peruse. Once I had found a few, Don tirelessly toured the homes for me, even going so far as to use virtual technologies like Facetime so that I could be part of the process. He was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. Once I found the home I wanted, Don worked hard to help negotiate the price I wanted and went above and beyond in meeting the home inspector and the appraiser and interacting regularly with my mortgage loan officer to ensure that all contractual deadlines were met. Any hiccups in the process were met by Don with calmness, reason, and an excellent ability to troubleshoot and strategize on my behalf. In short, Don was a genuine godsend and I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend him. His expertise, level of professionalism, and ability to handle a logistically complicated real estate transaction are simply unparalleled in today's business world. ”

Don kept us informed of every aspect of the sale: showings, feedback from other agents who showed the house, information on active listings within our market area - everything we needed to make informed decisions on the sale.

“Don was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made my partner and I feel extremely comfortable throughout our first time home buying experience. As first time home buyers Don went above the call of duty to make sure that we understood every step of the process and he was 100% transparent. I will absolutely recommend Don to future friends, family and work colleagues.”

“We spent months trying to find our house. It is a seller's market, and we were feeling particularly discouraged as first-time home buyers. We were referred to Don by a friend after a negative experience with our previous agent, and for that I am eternally grateful. Don is the epitome of professionalism and has a very thorough knowledge of both the market and the process as a whole. As a first-time buyer, I was so thankful that Don never overlooked an opportunity to educate or solidify our understanding. Don provided support every step of the way: from helping us build a stronger offer to officially closing on our very first home (which I should mention was 2 weeks ahead of schedule). I know I can always reach out to Don if I have questions or am looking for a second opinion. I don't know how he does it, but he truly makes you feel like you are his only client. Years down the road, when we're eventually ready to transition into our next home, there is nobody else I'd trust more to get us through it. I have the utmost respect for Don and honestly cannot recommend him highly enough.”

“Don went well above any expectations my wife and I had of what an agent would help us with. He stuck with us for months as we searched for a home. Rarely was there a day that we weren't on the phone with Don, and he was always willing to answer any and all questions. I would not hesitate to recommend Don to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. I could not be happier with our experience of working with him.”

“"Don was an extremely helpful real estate agent. Well-versed in the many aspects of the process of buying a home whether it is directly related to himself or other areas of the team. Setting appointments seemed to be no issue at all and I felt that he went above and beyond to ensure his client finds a home that meets their needs within an appropriate budget. He also makes every effort to not only explain but to educate clients on procedure. This was very helpful in my own search. I highly recommend the service of Mr. Chisholm and after working with him I'm sure you will too."”

“Don helped my husband and I sell our "starter home". We sold to the buyers at the end of April but they couldn't move in until the end of July. So, in June and July there was some time that all we could do was sit and wait. Don would shoot me an email or text to just check in. He would let me know there wasn't much to report but just wanted to touch base. I loved this because I hate being in the dark, especially when it comes to something important like the sale of your house! It's now August and Don drove to my new house to hand deliver our water bill escrow refund. I'm sure any other realtor would have put a stamp on it and thrown the check in the mail! I would recommend Don to my family and friends any day! Thank you, Mr. Chisholm!”

“Me and my husband just bought our first home with Don and we couldn't have been more happy with his services. He's very knowledgeable about what to look for in buying a home, the process of buying a home, and making sure that you are comfortable throughout the whole thing. Don is not about selling you things. He specifically mentions that his goal is to teach you every step of the way so that you can make an informed decision and feel confident with your ability to make one of the largest purchases you're likely to have. Don has a great response time with all of our questions being answered ASAP. I will definitely be referring him to everyone I know looking for a home. He should be the at the top of your list.”

“I can't recommend Don highly enough. He's quick to respond, patient, ethical and knowledgable of the process of buying a house. I looked at houses with Don for about 2 months before I finally found the right one - and he was extremely patient during this long process. I will definitely use Don again in the future!”

“When I first contacted Don, it was through Facebook looking for some general advice on budgets when looking for a home. He was very helpful and offered to help my boyfriend and I with the search. Don provided valuable knowledge on what exactly to look out for when searching for a home. When we decided to look at some homes we had found, Don thoroughly looked over the home and let us know what "red flags" would come up in an inspection. Don was quick and attentive to our questions, whether it was during normal business hours or not. He was very informative in every step of the home buying process. I would recommend Don to anyone looking to buy a home. He is a great guy and is awesome at what he does!”

“My wife and I were extremely pleased with Donald Chisholm's service and expertise for the recent sale of our house. From our initial meeting, everything was made clear and great advice was given in relation to all aspect of the sale such as pricing, putting it on the market, and so much more. He thoroughly answered all our questions. Don was amazingly efficient and proactive in helping things run smoothly behind the scenes for us, as well. When you hire him, you are hiring someone dedicated to getting you through the selling process with ease and care. I would recommend him without hesitation. Selling a house, changing jobs, moving across the ocean and leaving the city you have lived in for many years is very stressful. Don went above and beyond, helping us navigate a major life change and a period of anxiety and pressure. We are very happy to have had you as our realtor and will certainly recommend you strongly to anyone who asks.”

I wasn't looking at pricey homes, but he treated my search with great attentiveness and it was much appreciated. Highly recommended!”

“Don guided me through every step of purchasing my first home. I had a large radius that I was willing to live in, and he showed me all available options that were in my price range. I recommend Don to all buyers as well as first time buyers. Any question I had, Don always had the answer. Don is an extremely trustworthy, responsive, helpful, and hardworking person. Also very patient, we looked for my home for almost six months and when we found the perfect home, we waited six more months for the sale to go through. I cannot imagine going through the process with any other realtor! I recommend Don to everyone!”

“Don hands down made my home purchasing experience amazing! He was right from the start super helpful and knowledgable of the type of homes I was looking for. I wouldn't have felt as confident in my purchase if it wasn't for Don's knowledge and insight of the neighborhood I was purchasing in. I would absolutely refer Don to friends, family, and associates. He is nothing but professional and also very personable as well. Thank you again Don! ”

“Don was great to work with, both during buying our new home and selling our previous home. He provided frequent updates during the process as well as good advice throughout all the steps of the process. He was very good at providing us all the information that we needed so that we could make an informed decision on offers, responses, staging our home for sale, and pricing. He also did a great job of photographing our home and accurately representing its best features for the MLS. In our case, we were buying a 180+ year old home, and Don's insights as a historic home owner were very appreciated. I'd highly recommend Don for purchasing or selling a home.”

“ ... Don Chisholm is a comforting breath of fresh air! Home buyers or sellers would be hard-pressed to find a more straightforward, honest, informed, caring individual to work with them on such an important transaction. Don recognizes that this is not just a simple exchange of property with the loss or gain of a house, but rather, a significant event involving a core aspect of your life's experience... your home. For many individuals that is no small thing and comes with a variety of emotions. Throughout it all, Don was there. Don was there to insure that all of my questions were answered and moods calmed. Don was there to provide whatever time was necessary to address any concerns that arose throughout the process. Don was there to insure that the transaction was as smooth as possible in a situation that was more challenging due to a rather quick and unexpected life change. Don was there to tackle that extra task that might have otherwise been overlooked. If you seek a forthright, reliable, amicable and understanding professional who makes you feel as though you are the only client that matters in the moment, look no further... Don is there. ”

“Don started working with me long before I put the house on the market. He provided expert advice along the way - what needed to be done to help sell the house and what did not. Don knows the neighborhood I lived in. I was always kept up-to-date on the statistics for sales in my area. He was always available when I needed him. He also went above and beyond in some of the services he provided that were definitely not part of the deal. I moved before the sale of my house closed and he kept an eye on it and made the closing process easy to do long distance. I can't imagine another Realtor providing the care and expertise that Don Chisholm did. I'm glad I chose him. ”

Through Don's diligence and expertise, the house was listed and sold in a week above our asking price. We highly recommend Don for all your real estate needs. ”

He checked on the house several times knowing that it was sitting vacant. All the paperwork was done quickly and efficiently. He kept us very well informed of the process and what was happening.

“Don was wonderful to work with during my recent home purchase. He was exactly what I wanted from a real estate agent--knowledgeable about the home-buying process, easy to get in touch with, and listened to me rather than sold me on the properties I looked at. I can't thank Don enough for being the best sport when he showed me at least 30 properties over the course of two months, always offering suggestions and never giving up! He worked tirelessly to make sure that I was buying the right property for me. A true professional, Don asked all the right questions and really advocated for me during the entire process. I would and will recommend him to all!”

“I am writing to express my appreciation for the services that Don Chisholm provided during the sale of my mother’s condominium. Don was recommended to me by a cousin … I was impressed by the amount of research he invested to ensure that all the required documents were completed since the condo was part of a trust. Don was extremely helpful in giving advice and very thorough in his research and follow-up … and never left me wondering if things would be handled in a professional manner. My only regret is that I don’t reside in Michigan so that I could refer him additional clients.”

“Simply put, Don was the consummate professional. He was very patient with us when we wanted to view house after house after house. He scoured the listings to find us the very best houses to match what we were looking for and had great, honest advice on each house. He wasn't in a hurry to sell us a house, but rather, he was willing to take the time to make sure that we found our new home. When it came to selling, our house was on the market for short period of time and was then pending. When our buyer ruined his credit, Don jumped into action and we had the house relisted within a day and had a new offer within two days. I cannot recommend Don strongly enough.”
