About Me

Colin McDonald is not your average broker. His passion for innovation and creative exploration inspired him to open the all-digital McDonald Real Estate Company, where he is on a mission to disrupt the conventional real estate industry.

Colin is a Capital Region native and has a deep understanding of the community, the residents, and the business landscape. Colin’s professional background includes significant experience in both public relations and real estate sales and marketing. For a time, he owned and operated the Colin T. McDonald Agency (CTMA) as a marketing consultant, using innovative techniques to elevate the brands of his clients.

Colin has been an NYS Licensed Real Estate Agent since 2015. Before launching his own brokerage in 2021, he was with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services where he ranked among the top agents in the company and brokered the highest closings recorded in Albany County in 2019 and 2020. He is a go-to commentator and host for Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, and more.

When he’s not testing new technology for the brokerage, Colin can often be found working out at the local gym. He advocates for small businesses, independent restaurants, and the arts, though his own performances are limited to karaoke night at the end of a busy week. Most of all, Colin enjoys the long walks demanded by his Chief Inspiration Officer, a beautiful French Bulldog named Stella.

Colin supports many charitable organizations, including Make-A-Wish Foundation, Bob Woodruff Foundation, Renewal Care Partners, Capital Pride Center, Albany Damien Center, Equinox, The Children’s Hospital, and Trinity Alliance.Colin
