About Boyd McGinn

My By Referral Only Philosophy

By Referral Only means devoting my time and energy to focusing on your goals, offering you options, and providing the excellent service you deserve and expect. My commitment to high-quality service continues even after our transaction is complete. I depend on your endorsements and referrals to family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I want you to be so satisfied with my services you feel compelled to refer your friends and family to me, not by obligation, but because you truly believe they will benefit.

When the market changed, and we started seeing more and more Short Sales and Foreclosures, I knew I needed to update my education to prepare me to handle these files with professionalism and good knowledge. I received my certification as a CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert) in 2009 so I can better serve my clients.

You need not be referred, but will be served so well you will want to refer others.

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. That said, in my experience as a Columbia real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about listening to my clients. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

This "client first" philosophy requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.

So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Columbia, Ellicott City, Glenelg, Silver Spring, Howard County, Carroll County, or Montgomery County areas, please contact me.

I have been in real estate for more than thirty-four years. The extensive experience I have gained in operating real estate businesses over that period of time is now available to you. Finding homes for families has been a lifetime pursuit. Drawing upon that experience I have developed and perfected real estate systems which deliver the world class experience my clients have come to expect. I bring my expertise and experience to bear in helping you realize your Real Estate needs.
I am fluent in Spanish. I love hockey, play golf sporadically, fish when I can, and am active in my church. I have five children, and my wife Ninon and I are now empty-nesters and grandparents. We love it!
