Make this beautiful home your own!

We take a distinctly different approach to selling, working with only a select number of properties at any one time. This ensures your home receives our complete focus, bespoke marketing, and the kind of strategic attention that high-value properties demand. It’s not about volume—it’s about precision. Every detail, from presentation to negotiation, is curated to achieve a superior result. This is why our clients often sell ahead of schedule — above expectation — with the confidence of knowing their property was never treated as just another listing.

It’s the difference between a good result and the best result.


I love that you didn't treat me like a number and instead you treated me like I mattered. No other agent cared. Thank you so much, you're a legend. -BB
Wow! Catherine showed empathy and understood our needs as a family. She worked with us tirelessly and achieved a fantastic result. McKinnon and Sons really are the BEST. - KM
You guys are so damn amazing. So easy to deal with. - FR
You speak so beautifully about your Vendors—and that is so you, Cat. Calm strength, absolute grace, and a quiet determination to deliver.
This is why people trust you—not just because you’re brilliant at what you do, but because they know you’re in their corner, heart and soul. And you will get them the best deal. You shift their story from “this is hard” to “this is happening beautifully.” - IV
I just want to say a massive thank you for your outstanding work and consistency in delivering and going above and beyond! It takes some serious skill to do what you do that well. And how calm you are about it speaks volumes. Once again thank you from the bottom of my heart and let's keep in touch! - KA
You're such friendly and honest agents and we really appreciate what you have done for us. We had complete trust in you and you did so well. No one could have done it better. - MP
We could tell as soon as we met Catherine and Buddy that they are ethical and honest, and genuinely cared about us. We are very grateful to have had them sell our property and for a lot more than other agents had said they would get. - DT
Catherine and Buddy are the best real estate agents, it's as simple as that. They always achieve better than other agents say they can get and they're so friendly and easy to deal with. We are really happy with the sale of our house. - J&J
Rolling up your sleeves, helping the owners (us - and I have seen what you have done for others), and going above what any ordinary agent would do. That’s the kind of integrity that’s baked into everything you touch—whether it’s a house, your other business, or people’s lives. Thank you so much! - HR
Thank you so much! We couldn't have achieved what we did without you and your skills. - IA
Thank you so much, you did us so well. We are so very happy with the result and so much more than other agents priced our property at. We can now move on happily. - J&R A
I tell everyone I had the BEST agents, and I did. You saw the potential and negotiated hard which is a real strength that you have. Over $200,000 more than others agents had said was achievable was only because of your skills. I couldn't be more happy. - TD




In a world where agents juggle dozens of listings, we choose a different path—deliberate focus. By working with only a select number of clients at any one time, we offer the rare advantage of full attention, tailored strategy, and strong negotiation. This is how we consistently achieve premium outcomes. We take on a select number of listings at a time to ensure exceptional focus and results. Availability is limited.
We take time to understand your priorities, then tailor a strategic campaign designed to tempt the right buyer and drive premium competition.
Our results consistently exceed expectations — because we don’t follow a template. We create one.
Executed with precision — and positioned for premium results.
Discreet. Strategic. Results-driven.
We provide a full-service, end-to-end sales experience — including strategic pricing, premium marketing, buyer engagement, negotiation, and settlement management.
We advise you on what will genuinely add value, and what is unnecessary. Our approach is designed to maximise your sale price with precision — without wasted spend or generic campaigns.
From presentation to final negotiation, every detail is handled with focus, discretion, and intent.
At McKinnon & Sons, integrity is non-negotiable.
We operate with discretion, loyalty, and an unwavering commitment to achieving the strongest result for every client.
We work with a select portfolio at any one time to ensure every campaign receives full attention, strategic focus, and premium execution.
Many of our listings are managed off-market by request — a reflection of the trust our clients place in us, and the calibre of properties we represent.


Whether it’s finance, contracts, legal considerations, or market timing, we guide you through every detail with clarity and confidence. Our role is to protect your position, remove uncertainty, and ensure you feel informed at every stage.5
