We’re excited to share with you the beginning of a brand new Macdonald Realty.
What’s changed? We’re still the same company, with the same brand values. But we have a brand new look.
We’ve been working with one of Vancouver’s savviest creative agencies to create a new logo and visual identity that aligns with the contemporary, well-respected and professional company that Macdonald Realty is.
We wanted to bring a new energy that would really connect with both our agents and the public and reignite the pride agents feel working at Macdonald Realty.
To highlight our commitment and showcase our new brand, we created a brand new video called ‘Connections’. Because above all, Macdonald Realty connects people with people, people with places, and places with people.
