Meet the mcdonalds
Your Lake And
Valley Experts
We are Sean and Aimee McDonald – The McDonald Real Estate Team. Together, we possess over thirty years of business experience, which includes sales and marketing, finance, public service, education, leadership, and management.
Since the late 1970’s, we have grown up, lived, and worked throughout northwestern Nevada and northeastern California, to include the areas of: North/South Lake Tahoe, Carson City, the Carson Valley, Reno/Sparks, Dayton, and Fallon (just to name a few). We proudly raised our family here, and we know the inner workings of each community across this exceptionally diverse region. At the Lake and in the Valley, our focus is guided by our passion for helping others, caring for our region’s communities, and living a sustainable lifestyle.
We’re in the business of changing peoples lives. Real estate is bigger than buying and selling a home, it’s an investment in someone’s future. It allows people to be apart of a community that their invested in. Money doesn’t grow on trees, however home equity does build over time. This allows the purchase of a home to become a wealth building tool. We’re so much more than a real estate transaction, we’re Professional REALTORS.
Our Why
Our Why is our family
Making sure our children are empowered and can make a difference in the lives of others, is our focus and our greatest achievement.
Our Why is helping others
We take great pride in supporting small local businesses. We are part of an exceptional community and we aspire to make a difference.
Our Why is education
Learning and growing helps each of us become better; with knowledge and experience the sky is the limit!

Husband & Wife Team
For Sean and Aimee, growing, learning, and building their business is crucial. The way real estate is performed is ever-changing. Each day, they believe in stepping up to the plate. They view their client’s investments as profoundly important.
Sean and Aimee are advocates for No Pets Left Behind when moving homes. Please take a moment to read about their beloved cat, Remax.
A Message From Sean & Aimee:
For those who do not know our cat, Remax, here is her story. We were showing homes to our amazing clients / friends on a St Patrick’s Day, a few years ago, when we opened the door of a one-car garage and saw an exceedingly small, sick cat. We brought her home that night and gave her food and water. The listing agent who is a top agent in our area, told us that she knew there was a cat stuck in the garage and the last time anyone had been inside the house was 15 days before we found her. She said that she did not want to deal with a cat. We took the cat to the vet and she was diagnosed with mega colon and bladder issues. Over the past several years we have spent $1000s of dollars trying to help our kitty. The sad part is, she did not ever have to suffer. The listing agent could have helped her out and yet did nothing. It is important to make sure that you are putting your biggest investment (buying and selling a home) into people that are caring and compassionate.
After almost 4 years with our family, Remax tragically lost her battle with bladder complications. She passed away in our loving arms. Remax was unwanted in the eyes of her previous owner and yet we found her, and she became our everything. We took her into our home, and she change our hearts forever! There are people like us everywhere. Please give your animals a chance to have a great home, if you cannot provide them with one.
Please know that when you leave your animals behind inside a home and move out, someone may not find them in time. We are extremely fortunate to live in an area that has no kill animal shelters, so there is no excuse.
We not only value you as our clients, but we value our animals, our community, and small businesses. We take great pride in being honest and working with integrity.

In our spare time....
Real estate is our life and because we have the amazing opportunity to work together as a husband and wife team, we’re all in. On the few off moments we enjoy spending time watching Netflix as a family. A great cup of coffee is a must in our home and it keeps us going as we are on the go much of our day. We love eating a healthy mostly vegetarian diet with an occasional piece of fish or shrimp added in. Family is everything to us and we get a chance to watch our children grow into amazing adults following their dreams. Our home is filled with love and of course our animal babies.
