Andrew McKinney Real Estate-Donnelly + Co.

Across 31 Google reviews, the same buyers and sellers keep coming back to Andrew McKinney years apart — the same person who bought a first condo with him in 2015 returning a decade later to sell it and buy again, another client who used him in 2018 and again in 2024 to sell and buy at once. That repeat-client pattern is the throughline of his record. Andrew is a Boston-based real estate agent, attorney, and associate broker working out of Donnelly + Co. on Newbury Street; he says he's been in the business about 15 years. Reviewers repeatedly credit his legal background for sharper negotiating and a calmer path through closing, and several mention he was quick to text or call back with questions. He's also often the one supplying the rest of the team a first-time buyer doesn't have yet — inspectors, closing attorneys, lenders. Not every account is positive. A September 2025 reviewer who bought a condo through Andrew called the purchase a costly surprise shortly after closing and said they didn't feel they'd gotten fully transparent advice — the review specifically flags that a buyer's agent is typically paid by the seller, a structural conflict worth asking him about directly. His Massachusetts real estate broker registration verifies as active, and Google shows a 5★ average across 71 ratings. He also handles rental listings for past buyers turning an old home into a rental, and lists Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton, Needham, Arlington, Belmont, Watertown, Medford, and Melrose as his working area. For a first-time buyer overwhelmed by the market, or a past client weighing a sale, he's the kind of agent people call back — just ask directly how he handles advice on deals where the numbers get complicated.
