About Us

Our Story

Terry and Bobby McDonald are a father-son team who form the core of The McDonald Group at EXP Realty. Terry has worked in Charlotte real estate since 2004 and brings 20 years of building experience to the table as well. Bobby joined the team in 2013 after a background in Internet marketing and online lead generation. Together, we have been helping clients save time, hassle and money in their real estate transactions!

Our goal for each of our clients is the same! We’d like you to be happy with your decision to buy or sell the day you close, and 5 years later too! We provide the context and expertise so you understand all the angles and can make an informed decision. We work hard every day for your 5 star review.

We decided to move to Charlotte 30+ years ago from Hoboken, NJ, just outside of NYC. Accompanied by his wife, four young children, and their faithful dog, we were in search of a better lifestyle. Charlotte, even back then, was a bustling city on the rise, attracting people from around the world.

Like so many others

We moved to Charlotte by choice. We were looking for a new start, we wanted a place to raise a family where our money would go farther, and a place where our kids could grow and prosper. Our 4 young children have all attended private and public schools, graduating from quality public high schools, and all four graduated college, two with advanced degrees. They were prepared well here.

My wife has worked much of the time as a teacher, and now is a professor of education at a local college. We moved to Charlotte for a better education for our children, and it is why I’ve thought of myself as an “Education agent.” Charlotte has been very good to our family.

Trusted Partners, Market Experts

What makes us trusted partners? It is the nature of our relationship to our clients. Your interests are first, the center of everything we do here. Never high pressure, we are on your side from start to finish! We are your adviser, a tough cop, or patient negotiator as the situation demands… then once you make the call, we spring into action to help you meet your real estate goals and make it as stress free as possible.

We are your market experts. We know Charlotte, from Waxhaw to Lake Norman, and all points in between. We have lived in the Charlotte area for 30+ years and have watched it grow significantly in that time. We stay up to date with new areas and new practices. For example, ask about our unique "Coming Soon" strategy for south Charlotte and areas close to Uptown. Using this strategy every single home we helped sell in 2023 sold ABOVE offering price!

Selling Your House

Unlike most Brokers, we work with only a limited number of sellers every year- this allows us to create and implement a personalized and unique marketing plan for each property, and give your property the attention it deserves. Our intimate knowledge of buyers needs and ability to identify your "best" buyer make for outstanding results. Who's your best buyer? That person or family who's willing to pay the most for your property. Like a nice suit or dress, if the home fits you perfectly you might be willing to pay a bit extra for it.

We also love selling homes that others have failed to sell. We can quickly help you identify the problem (if it's unkown) and develop a strategy and solution. We also appreciate the over-the-top house, the killer house that may be over-improved – we are uniquely suited for finding the exact buyer needed to get an “over-the-to price” for our sellers.
