Dillard Cies Real Estate (OK)

Cody McDonald built Mac Does REI from the ground up, starting with no capital, no connections, and no blueprint, much of it accomplished before he turned 30. Since 2019 he has grown it into a respected name in real estate and investment, with over $6 million in real estate transactions, a deep network of agents, investors, and clients, and a footprint that now spans two major metros, Dallas-Fort Worth and Oklahoma City. He is the first to say he did not do it alone: his wife, Hanah, has been the strongest support he has ever had, and together they continue to grow the business and provide professional, honest service to every client. His approach is straightforward: disciplined strategy, a long-term view, and the belief that any starting point can become something extraordinary with grit and vision.

Hanah McDonald

Mac Does REI

Hanah McDonald has been the foundation of the McDonald partnership since she and Cody married in 2022. Where Cody pushes relentlessly forward, Hanah is the anchor. Raised by an engineer father and taught to weigh every scenario before acting, she brings the discipline and steady analysis that balance Cody's never-say-die drive, a complement that has been essential to the company's growth from the very start. Today she remains at the center of both the family and the business, handling the essential operations behind the scenes as she and Cody embrace life with their two daughters, Adalia Belle McDonald and Selah Maisie McDonald.

Licensed Sales Agent / Loan Officer

Giovanny Lopez

The McDonald Group - Fathom Realty

Welcoming the newest member of the team, Giovanny has given himself the full crash course by studying directly under Cody. Giovanny's ability to handle both the Spanish speaking clients as well as his input on the younger generation of upcoming investors has become a powerful asset. Once fully committing to the craft, Giovanny was able to replace his income from his full-time W-2 position by following Cody's advice; all while studying for his Bachelor's Degree and obtaining his TREC sales license. Giovanny is set on a path of commandeering growth to handle the DFW market.
