Donna MacBrayne

My experience with Long & Foster has been a little stressful. I can attribute that to the fact that the Real Estate market has been bad. My relocation company brought me to Long & Foster and Prudential and I liked Donna MacBrayne and Rick Proctor when I first met them. I appreciated the updates on CSS however they were difficult for me to read because of the Real Estate lingo that was used. I also had a difficult time getting to the website periodically. Rick and Donna were always upfront with me and I finally felt like they were working for me once I got a Buyer. I appreciated their candid comments and their knowledge of the Catonsville area. I can’t say that I would not refer Donna and Rick to someone who sells in the Baltimore area however, since I know them now, I would ask them for their assistance when purchasing a home in Maryland. Whether or not they take me as a client is another story, because I know that I can be quite demanding. Thanks.

We would like to thank you, Donna, Rick & Keith, for all your efforts in selling our house in this very difficult market. You helped guide us through this challenging time with good advice and constantly looking for ways to increase salability and value.

Thanks again,

Bill & Donna Brummond - Ellicott City

Dear Rick & Donna -

I wish to express my appreciation for your fantastic work. Three contracts in just two weeks in light of the economic crunch, is really impressive. Considering that another agency handled the same house for a year without any contract speaks for itself.

Your thoroughness and thoughtfulness from the first meeting through the closing process was much appreciated. Your professionalism and care deserve the highest praise.

My son, with whom you worked with in the past, highly recommended your services. I will keep the tradition going and can assure that you will be highly recommended to all my friends.

Best holiday wishes.

The team of Rick Proctor & Donna MacBrayne has performed exceptionally for me and my family in the past. So when my son told me that he and his girlfriend were in search of a house to make their home, I contacted Rick. After describing the need, the resources and the time frame we were working with, Rick and Donna found us/them exactly what they were looking for. When it comes to house purchases, there are no other people I would trust. They are responsible, accountable and highly trusted Real Estate Brokers. Thank you for all you do.

Within five weeks of meeting Rick and Donna, I found myself at the settlement table, purchasing my first home. They calmed my nerves and kept me informed through the process. I never felt uncertain or ignored and I encourage anyone considering a home sale or purchase to give them a call. You will not be disappointed!

Lisa Brightwell - Catonsville

Dear Rick & Donna,

Thank you for helping our family in our journey to move to Chicago. We appreciate all your hard work, advice and expertise. Especially in this time of economic uncertainty, we knew we needed a team that would go above and beyond to sell our house. Your marketing was superb, your teammates helpful and best of all, we had success. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

P.S. - We are going to miss your wake up calls

We were facing a very difficult situation in trying to sell our townhouse. Upon the recommendation of friends, we decided to work with Rick Proctor and Donna MacBrayne, and we are very thankful that they worked tirelessly to ensure a successful closing of our home, especially in such a slow market. Thank you!

Robert & Kelli Duhaney - Columbia

Again, Rick and Donna have impressed us with their unparalleled professionalism. During negotiations with the buyer of our home, we ran into a near deal-breaking situation. Without Rick and Donna on our side, I'm pretty sure the deal wouldn't have happened. Having them in our corner is a great comfort. I have no problem saying they are the best Real Estate professionals we've ever worked with. At the end of the day, the R&D Team is in the business of Peace of Mind.

Rick & Donna -

We've just now come back from the closing for the sale of our house which you greatly made possible. This, after almost a year of meeting with you and listening to your advice on how best to sell our house, resulted in a contract of sale after only 3 weeks on the market and an unbelievable 50+ showings of the house. All of this in a real down- turn market where we were very nervous about being able to ever get our equity out of our home. This equity was very much needed to allow us to move on with our life into retirement.

We feel quite lucky to have met with you and being part of the team which made this sale go to smoothly. Having not bought or sold a home in over 30 years, it was good to have professionals like you to steer us through the complications of selling a home.

You built into us the confidence needed to allow us to go ahead with the building of our retirement home in New Bern, North Carolina, knowing that when we needed it we would be able to sell our home here in Maryland to cover our expenses. This was a big comfort factor in our life these past 8 to 9 months. We move on to retirement, our new home and new life this week.

Thanks for all you have done.

Dennis and Suzi Lawrence - Ellicott City

Donna, Rick and Keith were a great team to work with. They were very soothing in an unfamiliar process. We appreciated their concern in what is a long term investment. Both Nick and I would highly recommend them to friends and family. Along with calling them again for our next purchase.

Dear Rick and Donna,

Sabrina and I would like to thank you for your assistance with the sale of our home. As we all know, it is a very difficult time to sell a house. Despite the current market conditions, your team was able to design an effective marketing plan which was instrumental in finding a qualified buyer. We are always impressed with your expertise and professionalism. You will continue to be our Real Estate agents in the future. Thank you again for making it happen.

Regards,

Sabrina & Ivan Rahman - Ellicott City

I just concluded my third Real Estate Transaction with Rick and Donna and as usual, no two are alike. Rick and Donna, as always, went the extra mile to take this transaction to conclusion. Thank you.

Ken Guest - Ellicott City

We found Donna and Rick to be very pleasant and easy to deal with. They were always willing to answer any questions we had and went the extra mile to work with us on any concerns we had with the Real Estate Transaction.

Steve & Nicole Campbell - Ellicott City

Dear Rick and Donna,

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the outstanding representation as my agents during the marketing and sale of my home in Ellicott City.

When Ann and I were evaluating potential brokers to list our home, other agencies only sent one person to assess our home and meet with us, whereas both of you came. We selected you because we were impressed with your candor and attention to details during that initial visit. Later, we were very pleased with the state of the art communication tools that you provided, i.e. on line showing feedback tracking, drive-by radio information, etc. During the marketing process, you not only attracted an overwhelming number of potential buyers, but you also provided encouraging words and letters that meant a lot to us. We recall how you held firm and reassured us of our home's value when several low offers were submitted.

Needless to say, we were very pleased when our home sold for 99% of the list price during a very depressed market.

You are both true professionals. If I had to sell a home again, there is no one else I would consider. You earned two thumbs up, five stars and a sincere recommendation.

Vernon and Ann Fleming - Ellicott City

Knowledgeable, respectful, trustworthy, honorable and experienced are a few of the words I would use to describe the Rick Proctor and Donna MacBrayne team of Long & Foster. Rick and Donna helped us sell our house in Elkridge, Maryland. We could not have done it without them. It's obvious by their professionalism and knowledge of the market that they are both experienced Real Estate Agents. This resulted in the sale of our home in a difficult market. I would recommend this team to anyone interested in buying or selling a home!

Brett and Hope Ripkin - Elkridge

Rick & Donna-

You guys really kicked ass for us! We were super impressed and happy about the level of service, motivation and attention to detail Rick and Donna exhibited. You made a pretty sticky scenario really work for us and we can't thank you enough. We'll refer you highly to anyone and everyone we can! Thanks and we'll be in tocuh.

Stas and Jenny Obrebski - Baltimore

Dear Rick & Donna-

Jenny and I want to take this opportunity to express our deep appreciation for helping us purchase our new house. I know it was a complex and difficult transaction. Working through all of the family issues, reaching consensus and achieving the final result you did was remarkable. You both have done a wonderful job. Your professionalism and stamina in brining this transaction to closing was extraordinary.

Jenny and I are particularly grateful to both of you in the way you have genuinely looked after the needs of our family over the past 8 years. This is the third transaction you have done for us and I look forward to working with you on the sale of our house and my Aunt Bea's house. I am glad to tell you and would be happy to tell anyone you would like me to, that I recommend you without hesitation or reservation. You demonstrate a high level of professionalism, knowledge, and sense of humor in the way you get the job done.
