About Us
Stephen MacDonald started MAC Valuations with a simple goal—make the home appraisal process easier and more reliable for folks across Northwest Georgia. Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, Stephen grew up in Cartersville and studied Geography and GIS at Georgia Southern, which now helps him bring a smart, data-backed approach to every appraisal. He’s earned a reputation for being honest, helpful, and fast—just ask the 100+ clients who’ve left five-star reviews. When he’s not working, you’ll find him spending time with his wife Allison and their son Archibald, playing piano, woodworking, staying active, or serving at his local church.
