Mackay Cate came from a referral of a friend who is a realtor in Blue Ridge, GA. This was to be a second home on St.Simons Island. Mackay and I met last summer and I gave him a list of “wants” that were quite specific and an even longer list of “don’t want”. He was aware that we had no timeline and when the right one became available, he would know it. And he did! This is our dream place and although we have only been residents for one week, we know in our bones, that this is it. Because Mackay has 5 or 6 generations here, was born and raised here, he knows places and people that only a local would know. Our home was never even listed. But he found it for us through connections. He has given us a list of good-quality service individuals and companies and I know he will continue to be there for us as things arise in the future years. If you need an agent, look no further than Mackay Cate …

Mackay was a wonderful partner in our house-buying process. We have nothing but good things to say about him. His local knowledge of coastal Georgia is vast, having lived here his entire life, and his commitment to helping us find the perfect home was fantastic. In this market that can be so tough for buyers, he made things easy. At this time when the seller has all the advantages, he won negotiations on our behalf. And he was never more than a half hour away from meeting us in person to view a home or discuss our options. This is particularly notable given the scale of some of his clients, as compared to us. We felt as important to Mackay as the multi-million dollar listing down the street. We will use him for our future real estate needs in the area, and we are grateful that our friends recommended him to us.
I highly recommend working with Mackay Cate for your real estate needs in the Golden Isles. I've had to know Mackay for the better part of my life. This is the first time I've worked with him professionally and I can't wait to do it again. He knows St. Simons is better than most and has family ties that run back multiple generations. He knows the market well and uses his business expertise to place you in the best home to meet your needs. We closed on this specific investment property sight unseen which should tell you how much trust we have in Mackay and the amazing team of professionals he's connected us to on the island. He made what could be a stressful experience virtually stress-free. I can't wait to find our next investment property with him!
From hour one with Mackay, I knew that when a new listing went on the market that fit my criteria, he would contact me and arrange a showing as the first to see. This gave me such a feeling of security, knowing that I had an advantage over other buyers. Mackay is the most conscientious, hard-working, and connected realtor I’ve ever worked with. Once I was under contract, he stayed on top of each issue, patiently and professionally working through even the smallest details or questions that I had. His network of colleagues is equally as professional as he is. I highly recommend Mackay Cate!
