Shen was very attentive and checked in on us throughout the process and was always more than willing to explain what everything meant from a septic system to recommendations for the area. We look forward to exploring our new neighborhood and visiting the establishments he suggested we try! He represented our interests well and ensured that our offer was accepted and quickly so that our entry into the escrow was a painless process. We could not be more delighted with our new home, becoming Malibuians, and thrilled to have gained also a new friend & neighbor in Shen!

My wife and I have worked with The Mark & Grether Group for two home purchases and a home sale in the past 3 years. The team is knowledgeable and patient when explaining the tricky details of the entire buy/sell process. The professional demeanor of the entire staff means that you're working with a team who is organized, prompt, and attentive. Their attention to detail when it came to the sale of our home was key - they knew exactly how to highlight the best aspects. When selling, we received multiple offers above our asking price while only on the market for a short time. During the entire buy & sell process, the team was considerate of our time and busy work schedules. When you work with The Mark & Grether Group, you are working with a team who cares, treats you like family, and gets the job done!

Short Summary: awesome realtor, nice guy, and super helpful guide to all things Malibu. I bought…read morea $3+ million house through him, and so should you. Longer Story: Sick of the city life and stupid LA traffic, I decided to move to Malibu from Beverly Hills. After getting many confusing realtor recommendations from friends, I cross-referenced five-star Yelp realtors and five-star Zillow realtors and found that only one qualified: Michael Gardner. (n.b. Zillow does a really poor job polluting the Malibu real estate network with San Fernando Valley-based dabblers). I went to Michael's website, read his blog, watched his eight videos and decided he was my guy. One intro email and one quick phone conversation later I had 30 Malibu properties on a personalized website for me to post comments and ask follow-up questions. A week later he showed me my top three houses. 45 days later I am a happy homeowner and wake up to a sick ocean view every morning. As a first-time home buyer (in confusing Malibu nonetheless) I had NO clue how to proceed. He walked me through the entire process and it was fairly easy. He referred me to great home inspectors, pool guys, landscaping guys, electricians, insurance agents, plumbers, geologists, and lawyers. (I ended up not hiring a lawyer because I think they all should eat arsenic--but more on that later). Because I work in the afternoons, he ended up babysitting most of these appointments on by behalf. He handled the insanely-complicated septic permitting process by himself. Michael is incredibly responsive: 80% of my almost-daily phone calls were picked up; 95% of my texts got returned within an hour. Emails were returned promptly. No dealing with an assistant. His attention to detail is impeccable and commitment to his client's needs is admirable. He isn't simply after his agent fee. For example AFTER I had closed escrow he was reviewing my closing documents and found that the sellers had overcharged me on the escrow fee (something that a lawyer would have discovered if I took his advice and hired one). Even though the deal was already technically done, he got me a $5,000 refund by arguing with the seller agents (from San Ferdando Valley nonetheless) over excessive escrow fees. He's also a very nice guy. And just last weekend, after I had moved in, he came over and spent two hours fixing stuff that had broken during the month between my home inspection and final close (he fixed the sprinkler system that an animal had chewed up by splicing together wires and unclogged the pool drains by hand). Despite what your impressions from watching his videos, he has some blue-collar MacGyver in him. I'm glad to say that he's the first friend I've made in Malibu.

When my wife and I started our search for a home in Southern California (leaving the Big Apple…read moreafter 7 years), we did some searching on Zillow for properties between Marina del Rey, Santa Monica and Malibu. We contacted Mike about a short-sale/foreclosure in the Malibu area, but were not impressed by the complex. After meeting with Mike, and describing what we were looking for, he was very responsive and knowledgeable and helped us focus our search on the neighborhoods that matched our requirements. In addition, he has become a local friend that we can hang out with, and get to know others in the area through him. This was a unique experience for me, and would easily recommend him to others.

Horrible! I called this agent several times as I am an agent to show my client a Malibu home…read more This agent would never get back to me as he only cares about showing his own clients. This type of behavior should be reported to the Department of Real Estate (DRE). I even tried to call this agent for myself as a buyer. Never returns my calls. This is not doing fiduciary duty to one's client that their own agent will only allow the property to be shown as a dual agent only. I am so tired of this game with agents. I do not even care about commission. Only about getting the property that I want to purchase! How much more for the seller who is wanting a buyer for his property that his agents selects who he wants to show the property to! I am going to storm the DRE on this one as there needs to be a way to squash unethical agent behavior.
