About Clare MacKness

Become a realtor!” they said, little did I know that when I moved to the US I would find my ideal career that perfectly complimented my skillset and personality. Following completion of my Hons Degree in Psychology, I spent 20 years climbing the corporate ladder in Retail buying and sourcing which gave me a great understanding of leadership, people, process and delivering goals. Drawing on this experience provides me with a solid foundation and a totally transferable toolkit to help deliver a seamless real estate experience for my clients. I am proud to have become a multimillion dollar top producing agent. As a global traveler, living and working in both the US, UK and Asia, moving multiple times in country and overseas I am well versed in the trials and tribulations of real estate. I demonstrate high levels of empathy, authenticity and energy enabling me to support my clients during their transaction making it as stress free as possible. Strong communication skills combined with being a great listener ensures that I am clear about my clients goals, able to skilfully negotiate on their behalf and build meaningful relationships with other agents, attorneys, vendors and tap into that reliable network when needed. Leaning on my analytical skills and financial acumen I am able to read market data and translate that into appropriate strategies for acquiring a new property or work in partnership with a seller to prepare their home for sale and achieve the best deal. A strong knowledge of the surrounding communities guarantees I am well positioned to serve clients across a wide area at different price points, styles and sizes of homes. My business is built predominantly on referrals and repeat business. It is a pleasure knowing that a past client, friend or associate is confident that I will deliver a positive experience and take care of their referral. A strong work ethic and a high regard for my relationships means past clients return again and again. As an active member of the Princeton community I am a Board member and Treasurer for the Princeton Education Foundation having also been an active PTO member for Princeton public schools. I am also a member of the Princeton Present Day Club and a regular at Lifetime Athletic Club. I live in Princeton with my husband, two teenage daughters and our Dachshund ‘Larry’, we love the area and everything it has to offer. Restaurant and café culture, museums, cosmopolitan cities, beaches and even skiing all on our doorstep makes it a great place to live!
