Sanders MacDonald

After a successful sales career in the NFL, Sanders proudly returned to the Lowcountry. Sanders grew up in Hilton Head Plantation and graduated from Hilton Head Christian Academy in 2007. He went on to receive a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing from Clemson University in 2011.

Following college, Sanders spent the next 12 years working with the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, NC.

This experience of matching client needs with a stadium location translates seamlessly into Real Estate.

As an island native, you can expect to receive unparalleled local knowledge on the area's communities and amenities when working with Sanders. His genuine nature and patience carry a winning attitude into each transaction.

Sanders enjoys traveling with his wife of over 10 years, Sami, and running around the backyard chasing their two energetic children until he can’t keep up.

Sanders was a pleasure to work with and made our whole buying process quite easy. We started just "looking" and he was patient and willing to keep showing us although we said we weren't ready to buy yet. When we quickly changed our decision and had limited availability to go back out, he made himself available. His knowledge of both the local community and broader area is a strong help to those new to the area!! Even when thrown some "unusual" challenges, his attitude remained positive and, as stated, made the process easy. We couldn't give a realtor a higher recommendation!

Sanders was a huge asset to our process / purchase. He was knowledgeable, organized and extremely personable. I would rate him 6 stars on all categories if I could. He was very patient in our process but also very communicative. We purchased from Maine, so our process could be considered a bit longer than a typical transaction. He had a great balance of being "in touch", but not too vigorous which I really appreciated. I am very confident when I say that anybody has Sanders represent them in a transaction will be very pleased with his work. He is a very genuine and honest. After the sale he didn't stop trying to help us get situated in Low Country. We don't plan to have another transaction soon, but there is no question Sanders would be our first call if we did!

Sanders was an absolute 10 out of 10. From the first email Sanders responsiveness was top notch. I think I maybe had one call that wasn’t picked up after the 3rd ring. He is friendly, patient and will take the time to get to know you and help you find the right house. He is not a pushy agent…he gives you honest responses and helps you understand the pro’s/con’s of areas and homes. Sanders is incredibly knowledgeable about the Hilton Head area as he grew up there plus he draws on the experience of his father Richard who has been an agent in the area for decades. Sanders was also invaluable in helping us transition into the area, introducing us to local vendors and personally helping us with the house. I strongly recommend Sanders and have to many close friends.

Sanders MacDonald was great! He helped us both buy and sell our homes. He understood what our wants were in finding a house. Went beyond the norm to find out information about houses we were interested in when it was not available in the seller’s disclosure. Sanders followed up consistently through buying and selling process (i.e. lawyers, realtors, inspectors, etc.) to insure no issues. Lastly, Sanders was very personable, easy going and upfront about a house’s pluses and minuses (i.e. artificial stucco vs stucco integrity). To date we have bought and sold 13 houses over the last 40 years. Sanders has been by far the best Realtor we have worked with both on the buy and sell side. We would seek out and work with him again without hesitation.

As first time homebuyers and now owners! We were beyond grateful for how Sander’s helped us during this process and how he made a way for us against all odds (LITERALLY: market being crazy high, outside of our budget, and the island being in such high demands) somehow, sanders made a miracle take place for us and we are truly grateful! Sanders was also incredibly communicative and very articulate in helping us understand the process from beginning to end. Honestly, the professionalism exceeded our expectations and we wouldn’t have wanted to be with any other realtor!
