AnnMarie Macdonald Luxury Assoc. Broker

Having secured a Bachelor of Science degree from St. John’s University, I spent my time teaching at an elementary school level, during which I also completed my Graduate Certification in Elementary Education from Brooklyn College and Queens College. My career as a school teacher lasted approximately six years, after which I came across an exciting new opportunity that I could not turn down.

I first developed an interest in real estate when I was trying to sell my own home, and it became pertinent that I take matters into my own hands and thus began my journey in the complex yet oddly delightful journey in the real estate business.

The first step was to complete the salesperson real estate course, which I obtained successfully and moved on to sell my very first property, my own house. Next, I proceeded to obtain an Associate Broker License and also tried my hand as a relocation specialist.

Now, I am a well-known and trusted real estate broker with over three decades of comprehensive and diverse experience in several towns in New York. Having worked with Aug Millang Real Estate in Manhasset, I received first-hand, practical knowledge of real estate in New York and proceeded to secure a job in another renowned firm, Laffey Real Estate. I’m still working at the latter as a real estate broker.


My ability to work well with clients speaks for itself...

“My wife and I wanted to express our gratitude and let you know what a great asset you have in Ann McDonald, She has been an enormous help to us in first purchasing our co-op in Great Neck 3 years ago, and again for the sale of the same unit.
Our unit was on the market for over a year, in that time she made sure to check in with us and give updates every week. She worked extremely hard for us and made us feel confident that our home was in good hands. Ann put us ln touch with our lawyer we used for the closing, who also helped us get a short sale approved with our bank, which saved us about $20,000 in the end.
Ann always gave good advice, was very professional, and was always available to us if we needed to get in touch with her. Thank you for allowing us to have such a great resource in Ann, we hope our paths will cross again with her in the future.
Kind Regards,
-Bill and Sharon Woronoff”



One of the core reasons I stand out amongst my peers and have to sold over 99 million dollars worth of properties is my personal experience living in several towns where I now offer my real estate services. I grew up in Queens and have lived in several areas, including Great Neck, Manhasset, Plandome, and Port Washington. Additionally, I also possess vast knowledge about the real estate industry, including selling, buying, and relocating services in Nassau and Suffolk County.

With knowledge and command of cutting-edge tools and platforms, such as MLS Luxury Portfolio, I’m able to use my real estate marketing and creative skills to satisfy both property buyers and sellers in New York. In addition to this, my clientele list includes all buyers and sellers requiring 360-degree relocation services, to whom I offer a wide variety of services, from property hunting in New York to logistics and post-shift settlement services. Moreover, my technological expertise, skills, and experience have also afforded me the opportunity to offer my services to commercial property sellers and buyers.



I’m also a member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, which is home to some of the world’s most prominent and market-leading independent brokerages in more than 70 countries. I never hold back from sharing my expertise and knowledge with the clients I offer my services to, who I educate and inform about the latest trends from the beginning of the process till the transaction is completed. This process also helps me stay vigilant, anticipate all hurdles and prepare for them accordingly, and find gaps to negotiate the best deals for both the willing seller and a buyer. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with various clients from all walks of life, and I’ve always been prepared to meet their expectations and requirements.

My mantra in both my personal and professional life has been to do the right thing, which I incorporate in each step that I take on a daily basis. As a reward, I have successfully helped numerous buyers and sellers who leave satisfied with my real estate services and have repeatedly commended me for my patience, kindness, supportiveness, attention to detail, and professionalism. My clientele includes business owners, first-time property owners, residents shifting to a bigger property or condos, residents looking to relocate, and those on a hunt for multimillion-dollar properties. I am also known for using my vast portfolio of connections, PRs, and partnerships to offer each client customized real estate services to meet their expectations and requirements as closely as possible.

If you require the services of a real estate broker who will hear all your concerns and clear every hurdle to get you the desired outcome of buying or selling your property in New York, maintain excellent communication with other brokers and agents, be available at all times throughout the purchase or buying lifestyle, and maintain a healthy professional relationship till the end of the transaction, then I’ll be your perfect guide in New York.

Outside of the real estate realm, my passion is playing competitive tennis and spending time with my children and grandchildren, who share my love for sports and the outdoors. One of the highlights of playing tennis was when I became a finalist in the senior women's doubles category in Arizona in 2021 - I love playing competitively and will do so until I can’t.
