Northern Virginia Specialist & Co-Founder of Homegrown, The McDonald Etro Group at SERHANT.
A born-and-raised Northern Virginian, Kathleen McDonald is the definition of homegrown - deeply connected, highly respected, and trusted for over a decade by families across the region. As co-founder of The McDonald Etro Group at SERHANT., Kathleen combines tenured expertise with genuine care, leading her team and her clients with unmatched energy, professionalism, and heart.
Kathleen is especially known for guiding clients through dual transactions - when they’re buying and selling at the same time - an emotionally and logistically complex process that she makes feel seamless. Her calm confidence, market savvy, and clear communication turn big moves into smooth transitions.
With over a decade in the business and consistent recognition as a top producer, Kathleen has helped hundreds of clients - from first-time buyers to luxury sellers - navigate Northern Virginia’s fast-paced market. Whether she’s pricing a listing, crafting a competitive offer, or walking someone through their first showing, she brings clarity, warmth, and a sharp eye for detail.
Kathleen believes real estate is deeply personal. That’s why she builds lasting relationships that extend far beyond closing day. Her clients know she’s in their corner - always honest, always available, and always ready with a plan (and maybe a little humor when it’s needed most).
Her specialties include dual transactions, listings, relocations, and high-trust referrals, with extensive experience across Northern Virginia.
When she’s not negotiating a contract or prepping a listing, Kathleen is likely juggling family life, cheering on her 3 sons from the sidelines, or catching up with a past client-turned-friend. She currently lives in Fairfax Station, just a stones throw from where she grew up - and considers it a privilege to help others put down roots here, too.
