Deanna is amazing, and we cannot rave about her enough!…read more We had a very unique property with particular challenges that left us lacking confidence in our ability to sell it. On top of the challenging features of the property, we had moved to California two years prior to listing to care for aging family members, leaving the house empty for that time. When we finally decided our move was permanent, and it was time to consider selling, we interviewed several realtors. We felt rather deflated, as almost every one of them discouraged us from listing and told us to wait. Most did a quick Google search of local stats and said it wasn't a good time. The realtor who worked with us when we bought it wasn't even interested in trying to sell it. Deanna is the only one who took the initiative to go to the property and get a real on-the-ground view of it. She saw what the area had to offer, and that the house was a gem with two big issues that would require finding a very particular buyer (a working farm across the street, which we loved, and an insanely steep driveway). And she believed we could do it. She made a plan, gave us a TO-DO list, and assured us that this house would sell. She gave us the confidence we needed to buckle down and do the work to get the house on the market. There was some tough love on her part, when we started to lose momentum in our repair work, and when we wanted to price it higher than the market would support. That's exactly what we needed. She kept us grounded. She did some great staging of the property, and her photographer took gorgeous photos that showcased all the things that made us fall in love with the house when we bought it. She even made a photo book keepsake for us to commemorate our time there. Deanna was very realistic and did not over-promise. But she absolutely delivered!!! Our house was on the market for only 2 weeks, before it sold for cash at our asking price. She made the process of closing so, so easy. And she continued follow-up support well after closing, facilitating communication between us and the buyers in re: to personal items we had forgotten or mail that arrived late. We would highly recommend Deanna to anybody looking to sell their house. She's realistic, honest, and tough when you need direction to stay on track. And she is thoughtful and encouraging, recognizing the emotional side of selling a home where you've made so many memories. We cannot say enough great things about Deanna!

After 13 years, we decided to sell the home we loved and purchase a new one. We were emotionally…read moreattached to our place and it was the first place we'd purchased so we were emotional, novice sellers. After reading reviews, we interviewed several agents. We picked Mark and his team because he came prepared with multiple options for our sale. Much of the uncertainty was eliminated because he'd done his homework prior to meeting with us. His suggestion for pricing our home was spot on as well. We also made it clear that we wanted to do very little work to get ready. Mark pointed us to service providers who made sure everything was ready to go. The house looked amazing and we had to do very little to make it happen. Our home sold in under a week in a market that was slowing down and the price point exceeded our expectations. We then moved into buying a new home. Surprisingly, this is where we had the most questions. Mark and his team were incredibly responsive and no question was too small. They helped us navigate financing, an offer and closing. We love our new place and are so happy with the service we received. I can't recommend Mark and his team highly enough.

However, when we met with him it became clear that he was definitely the right choice for the following reasons; He is thorough. He asked a lot of questions and took notes. He has a quick wit, and easy charm that let me know he's a good networker. He is very knowledgeable about real estate, has 14+ years of experience and has built a successful business in real estate. The process was stressful as it always is when you are moving a large family. Mark was a cool breeze when we were sweating bullets. He kept us calm when we felt like freaking out. His team and network is fantastic from staging to photography to the mortgage lender and everything in between. He always returned calls, kept us in the loop. Our home sold for well over asking price. We were so happy with him we decided to also hire him as our buyers agent. He negotiated hard for us, and continues to have our back even after the closing of our new home. Thank you Mark and Team! I would definitely recommend considering Mark if you are buying or selling real estate.
