About Coby McDonald

Coby believes that finding an incredible home can change one's life. This ethos has allowed him to utilize his experience on Wall Street and in the design world to assist people in finding the place of their dreams. His perspective on negotiating deals, space and style ensure that all clients and partners get the full service and attention they need while navigating the complex, sophisticated and often deeply personal endeavor of buying or selling a home.

Coby grew up in the Pacific Northwest and was born a devoted Oregon Duck fan. Coby, his fashion designer/executive wife and their four young children call the city of Manhattan Beach home, a South Bay community known for its unique combination of small town feel and beach-luxe lifestyle.

Coby holds an M.B.A. from the Thunderbird School of Global Management, as well as a B.A. in Political Science (with honors) from the Robert D. Clark Honors College at the University of Oregon. He is also a Fulbright Fellow (Chile 1996-1997).

Ratings & Reviews

Coby is the best! He provides insight and important background information on properties and is honest in his assessments of why he thinks properties are a fit for us. Coby goes well above and beyond in every possible way. He has been helpful in connecting us with folks to get a pre-approved loan. We cannot say enough good things about him. We are so happy to have found him!

Coby is amazing. We did not end up buying a house, but he was incredibly diligent, offered us options that were what we were looking for, negotiated for us. He did above and beyond his role for us, and when we are in the process of buying a house, there is no doubt that we will be using Coby

I'm looking to move across country. Coby has made us feel like we're local looking at properties. He gives us options, has an informed opinion and does not pressure. His insight and knowledge is unmatched in my opinion. He goes above and beyond and we're certain he'll find the right place for us at the right price.

Coby helped me find a luxury rental and was excellent in every way. Thanks Coby! We found something that I'm sure is under market rent in the perfect spot.

Coby is great; he represented us in purchasing our first home. He knows the area well and provided helpful insights on the area and houses. We had a packed viewing schedule for 7-8 houses a day, and he was very patient with us and answered all our questions/concerns. He also is very helpful when we decide to put in offers and negotiate for closing. Our home purchase journey is smooth, not to mention he's very responsive.
