About Us — The McKay Team

Real estate, the way it used to be done, with the people who’ve been doing it the longest.

Doug McKay

Doug has been a realtor in Chestermere since 1993. That’s over thirty years of watching this town grow from a quiet lake community into the place it is today, and Doug has had a hand in nearly every chapter of it.

There’s an old idea about soldiers who stay in the field a long time: the longer they last, the more dangerous they become, not because they’re faster or stronger than they used to be, but because they’ve seen it all. Nothing surprises them anymore. Their instincts have been tested so many times that they can be trusted without a second thought.

That’s Doug. He’s sold through booms and downturns, watched interest rates climb and fall and climb again, and adjusted to rule changes that reshaped how the whole industry works. He’s seen every kind of deal go sideways and come back together, and every kind of deal that looked easy and wasn’t. None of it rattles him anymore. That calm is earned, not performed, and it’s the thing clients feel the moment they sit down with him.

Marjorie McKay

Marjorie worked alongside Doug as a licensed realtor for over thirty years, building the McKay Team into what it is today right beside him. She’s currently taking a break from her real estate license, but she hasn’t stepped away from the team. Marjorie still works with us as an unlicensed assistant, bringing the same care and local knowledge to every file she touches.

Kevin McKay

Kevin has been a realtor since 2017, carrying the family name into a new generation of the business. He brings a sharp, modern edge to the team as a Licensed Drone Pilot, certified to operate a larger professional drone. He is also adept at producing a walk-through videos of their lisings.  That means aerial photography and video that goes beyond what most listings get, giving buyers a real sense of a property and its surroundings before they ever walk through the door.

The Team

Three decades of experience and a fresh set of eyes, working the same territory with the same name on the sign. Whether you’re buying your first home or selling the one you raised your family in, the McKay Team brings you the steady judgment that only comes from having seen it all, paired with the tools and energy to do it right for today’s market.
