Leveraging an integrated platform and deep industry expertise, the firm delivers bespoke real estate solutions across advisory, asset management, and operational services.

In this dynamic environment, Macdonald & Company has become a trusted recruitment partner, helping Harvest secure the talent essential to its continued success.

"Tom Fielder and Macdonald & Company have been a valuable recruiting partner for our team. In the niche industry of residential lot development financing, finding the right talent requires more than matching skills to a job description. Tom took the time to truly understand our business, culture, and the intangibles that matter most to us, hitting the mark with his first shortlist several times.

Tom's established network has consistently produced strong, well-vetted candidates who are not only technically capable but also an excellent cultural fit. Tom is highly responsive, professional, and results driven. I would recommend him to any organization seeking top-level talent in the real estate industry."

Leif Czaplewski, Chief Operating Officer
