Mark did an exceptional job. He was super flexible with our situation, worked with us while we lived in our home to prep it, and had a great strategy when it came to selling the house. Ultimately getting multiple competitive offers exceeding our expectations. We'll me using Mark again as we search for a new home. read more

We've known Mark through our community for years as an upstanding family man. Recently, Mark helped us sell our home in San Francisco. He was remarkable. Mark went above and beyond on all of the preparation and refurbishment of the unit, guided us through the process with deep expertise, and was remarkably agile and diligent when the process hit a number of unexpected roadblocks. When things turned difficult, it was amazing to have Mark by our side. We're so grateful for his help and look forward to working with him again. read more

Mark is awesome! He is super knowledgeable about the SF market and helped us rent our place quickly and without any hassles!

We worked with Mark Choey to sell our SOMA SF condo, and he was amazing. We were out of the country when we first contacted him, and he didn't waste any time getting to work, taking care of everything that needed to be done. We had a higher-than-expected offer before we even returned home to San Francisco. Everything moved along smoothly and very quickly. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and hard-working. We will definitely give him a call when we are ready to move back to San Francisco. Can't recommend him enough. read more

Mark guided us through a very challenging condo sale with exceptional professionalism and determination. He dug into the complex lender issues, handled every detail, and stayed by our side all the way to closing--we highly recommend him." read more

Been working with Mark and I have to say he has been a professional to work with. I interviewed or short listed three realtors to work with and he made the final cut. The others were either too sales-y, too sleazy, too busy for me, or I just didn't get a good vibe. You want a guy who is well respected in the real estate community, who does things fast, efficiently, professionally, to the point, and doesn't play games. Now as a sellers agent, Mark would have already made his commission whether it sat on the market for a while or not. I give him credit for accurately assessing the market and advising us accordingly. Never was he unprofessional or overly emotional with the entire process. That is really important in this long and emotional process. I will update this when he has completed all his services but as the market heats up in all of SOMA, I wanted fellow Yelpers who are reading to consider him as either a yer or sellers agent. I called his referrals and they checked out too. A great sales pitch is nice but in the end you need a mixture of insight, professionalism, knowledge of the market, and a straight shooter. I would advise you to be careful of any realtors who might overpromise & then under-deliver. So far, I've found Mark Choey to be the best realtor I've worked with. Most make me cringe and checking my back! On another note, I also had a good impression of him because even when I wasn't going to give him business a few years ago he responded to my email promptly whereas another prominent realtor just ignored my question. read more

Mark is, above all, efficient, honest and knowledgeable. If you are looking for a real-estate agent who will look out for you and help you get the best deal, period, I would highly recommend Mark. As many reviewers have mentioned, Mark's speciality is the SOMA/South Beach area. When we approached Mark as first-time home buyers in the beginning of 2009, he listened carefully to what we were looking for (2BR, located in SOMA, ocean view, and affordable), and he immediately pointed us to The Infinity early in the process, which saved us a lot of time. Right off the bat, Mark was realistic about what we could buy the condo for. We put in an offer at just the right time, when the market was still down and prices were low. Mark got us one of the steepest discounts in Tower 2. Mark really knows his market, and is always up-to-date on the latest deals. He pointed us to The Infinity at just the right time in the market, and before all the 2BRs with ocean views had been sold. He is very honest, down-to-earth, and frank in his opinions about the pros and cons of a given building or deal. I never felt like he tried to sugercoat anything just to pressure us into buying a condo we didn't want. Ultimately, Mark is the kind of real-estate agent that most buyers are looking for: frank, honest, and knowledgeable, and efficient at getting the best deal for this clients. I wold highly recommend Mark to anyone looking to buy in SOMA/South Beach area. read more

I'm pretty sure my boyfriend and my decision to buy a condo together could be categorized as "whirlwind," and one of the smartest choices we made during the process was to choose Mark as our agent. We wanted to find someone who was extremely knowledgeable, accessible, honest and not one bit snooty--Mark fit the bill and then some. Right off bat, Mark gave us an honest estimate of what he thought we could get our condo for. It was right within our range and not what we had expected just based on visiting the sales office on our own. I truly doubt we would have taken the plunge if we didn't tap into Mark's knowledge. But Mark's help didn't end there; throughout the buying process he walked us through the system and was always available to answer questions over phone, email or text messaging (that's why he carries two phones with him all the time!). He never gave us any pressure to buy; in fact, he always suggested that we look around and know what our other options were, just in case. And he always referred to things in personal terms, like "us" and "our offer"... maybe it's a real estate agent tactic, but it works! In the end we made out like bandits with a sweet deal of a home thanks to Mark. I'm very happy with the experience! read more

Going with Mark as our realtor was probably the best investment decision we've made. My fiance and I were first-time prospective home buyers in mid 2009. We were eager to take advantage of the housing bust and various tax incentives to help with our first time home purchase. Being inexperienced with home buying and the San Francisco market can spell disaster for any investor. We found Mark by pure chance through his SF developments blog. After meeting up with him and looking at several projects, it was clear that Mark was the 'beacon' we needed to navigate the real estate waters. Mark is hands down the most knowledgeable and trustworthy realtor you'll find for new developments within San Francisco. Some of these projects include the infinity,the metropolitan, Sfblue, millenium... really all comparables in this class of properties. After listening to our needs: 2br, preferably ocean view, certain price range etc, Mark recommended the mid-tower units at the infinity, which is was we ended up purchasing. In retrospect, I cannot be more grateful of his knowledge of the area and ability to zone in on the exact units that fits the bill for us. Then comes the negotiation process. Having sold most of the units at the infinity, Mark was very in tune with the seller's negotiation style. I thought the various price points and tempo of the negotiation were all handled very well, ultimately resulting in an UNBEATABLE price. We're not kidding about this. There are good prices, and then there are jaw-dropping ridiculous deals. Mark helped us win the best deal possible. We are now proudowners of a full sea view 2br condo at the inifinity, and I cannot imagine living anywhere else. I would give Mark 6 stars if i could. read more

I was looking for 5 things in a real estate agent: 1. someone who knows the neighborhood I was looking to buy in (SOMA, South Beach) 2. someone who took the time to understand what I was looking for 3. someone that has resources and connections (e.g. mortgage bankers, general contractors, etc.) that can help you pre- and post- purchase 4. someone that is good at negotiations 5. someone with integrity that I could trust Mark is best in class in all of those requirements. I had a very positive experience working with Mark and I would work with him again to buy or sell any property. I was looking to buy a place in the SOMA/South Beach area and I asked several of my friends for recommendations. One gave a strong recommendation for Mark and after speaking with several agents I felt like Mark understood what I was looking for--a unique loft property in SOMA. Over several weeks, Mark and I looked at several places and I ultimately ended up buying the first unit he showed me. In addition, Mark was very resourceful during the closing process helping me line up different financing options which is important in the current market. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking to buy or sell in SF. read more

Mark is very professional and the best realtor that I ever work with. He's very expert, honest and knowledge especially for SoMa area! Highly recommend and thank you for everything Mark!! read more

It's important to mention that I hired Mark after wasting 90 days with a horrible Realtor from a different company. Mark came highly recommended by my brother who knew him from the infinity buildings. Mark and his team are honest, professional, timely and knowledgeable. They really have a good grip on the San Francisco market. They really understand the ins and outs of real-estate. They were organized and had all our ducks in a row. Mark always gave great advice and he had many great strategies. I think from the day we signed on with Mark he was able to sell our condo within a few weeks. He brought us three offers to choose from. I appreciated every second of my experience with Mark and his team. They made us feel comfortable (we are out of state), they kept us up to date. They followed the rules of our condo (our last Realtor had no idea the condo had rules). All in all it was a positive experience. I've told some of my personal friends to make sure they hire Mark from Climb if they want to save themselves a lot of headaches. read more

The Bottom Line: Mark Choey was able to negotiate a phenomenal deal for us - a deal we didn't think possible!!! Throughout our home buying journey Mark was always by our side. He provided us his candid opinions on different properties, explained the future outlook of the housing market, and always promptly answered our numerous questions and concerns. As mentioned above, when we finally made an offer, Mark was able to negotiate an exceptional deal! In addition, Mark went beyond his role as a real estate agent as he also provided us advice on breaking a rental lease, recommended an insurance agent and internet/cable company, and suggested contractors (for upgrades, i.e. such as blinds). If you're looking for a real estate agent call Mark Choey! He's very knowable about of the South Beach/SOMA real estate market, extremely professional, easy to get along with, and a go-getter! There's no question to why Mark is a top producer. Thanks for all your hard work, Mark! read more

If you are buying or selling in the SOMA/South Beach area, Mark is definitely someone you should get in touch with. He has so much experience and time invested in the area, that, unlike many other realtors who can only bring credentials to the table, he will have: - The inside line on new listings - Connections to other realtors and listings - An understanding of how to best position your bid - Guidance on loan appraisals and the relationships to ensure a smooth process - A great supporting team that will help you close the deal promptly - Deep insight into the various specifics of different buildings and units I first met Mark 5 years ago visiting a friend at the Infinity. He has always been responsive to my occasional inquiries and, finally, when I was ready to pull the trigger last year, he came through with some great options. We really couldn't be happier. read more

Like the other reviewers have mentioned, Mark is an excellent real agent that specialzes in the SOMA/South Beach area. We utilized Mark's service when we sold out condo (@ 88 Townsend) in October. Prior to listing officially on MLS, Mark provided a thorough overview of market conditions and brought in a number of resources (including the opinions of other top agents from his firm) to provide us the best insight on pricing our home. In addition, he had an eye for staging us with 'just the right amount' of our own furnishings. His co's website provdied a great marketing platform for our home's listing and his vast network of contacts within the industry provided us a large base of potential clients to view our open house. Speaking of open houses, we listed our home on a Friday, had the first open house that Sunday, and had an offer the next day! After only 72 hours on MLS, we accepted an offer to our liking!!! 72 freakin' hours?!!?!?! The process was so quick!!!! And in this market.. wow! I would confidently recommend Mark (for buyers/sellers), as I think his services for the SOMA/South Beach is second to none! read more

Mark has been a fantastic broker. When you think about the qualities of an ideal broker, Mark fits the bill in every sense: honest, dependable, really smart, quick on his feet, knows the market, responsive, attentive to detail. He is a good combination of New York toughness (you want that toughness on your side when negotiating) and San Francisco sensitivity (you want that if you live here). Mark helped my wife and I locate and purchase a house in Marin. During the negotiation process, he listened to us as we debated how much to offer, then gave frank advice about what we should probably do given our high level of interest in the property. He didn't rush us. But he also pointed out when we should move quickly, before others had a chance to enter the bidding. Because we moved fast, we were able to avoid getting into a bidding war with other buyers (who we know were interested, but didn't make a bid because they didn't want to get into a bidding war with us). Mark has helped us negotiate the inspection process and negotiations around costs credited to us for purchase. I think many home buyers don't realize that this is a critically important negotiation. This house had "issues" that needed to be fixed. Mark helped us to stand firm in our request, until we'd reached a compromise amount of credit that was acceptable to both us and the seller. I've recommended Mark to friends at work, and would recommend him to anyone. read more

We met Mark when we first decided to look at buying a condo and went to a bunch of open houses, both to look at the properties and to "audition" real estate agents. While there were some realtors who were pleasant enough, Mark took the extra time to talk to us about buildings in the area, trends in the market, etc. without ever seeming pushy or too slick. We ended up falling in love with a unit that we found on our own, but we are first time buyers in CA (apparently being a homeowner twice over in another state isn't enough - you're still a novice home buyer when you're in CA) and knew we wanted representation. We decided on Mark based on his record in the area and our experience with him. Boy, are we glad. Even though we had the unit picked out and it's a pretty new building, we definitely needed guidance from Mark about the buying process, fees, negotiating points, etc. He was able to deliver and helped us pay much less than we were originally thinking we would. I would highly recommend Mark! read more

I really have to thank Mark for the great job in selling my first home. He provided great advice, KNOWS the local market I was in and was very patient through the different emotions and factors that caused me to flip-flop quite a few times on what I thought I should do. Mark was supportive through each step, whether it would result in him making a sale or not. He spent time to walk me through the different scenarios with honesty, candidness and ultimately to make sure I would be satisfied with the decision I made. In addition, I was going to be out of the country for a while and the process was simple and easy. He even helped take care of a few things such as cleaning and removing some items since I left in a hurry. In the end, my home was sold quickly and he went the extra mile to get me a great price which I am thankful for. I don't think you can go wrong with Mark! read more

Mark is someone I trust and would recommend to my friends without hesitation. Throughout our buying process, Mark was not only knowledgeable, professional, but also forthright and best of all, patient. As first time home buyers, Mark walked us through all the complexities and we felt totally supported during the entire process. Mark is a great negotiator and we relied on him to get our asking price. Bottom line, if you are looking in the SOMA/South Beach area, go see Mark --- you will be taken care of. read more

Mark Choey recently listed and sold my unit at the Infinity within two weeks. He had a marketing plan going in that worked exactly as he outlined and as I hoped. He communicates clearly and promptly. Mark gave me several ideas to help me prepare my unit for the open house. It seemed like no detail escaped his personal attention. Mark is friendly and professional. He answered all of my calls personally and followed through on everything he promised. He is intelligent and thoughtful. I would recommend Mark without any reservation. read more

We were looking to buy in South Beach, and learned about Mark from Yelp. The testimonials were right on the mark. He's smart, knows the business, and is a great listener. We were seeking a view condo in South Beach, and the place we liked best had three other offers. Mark got us what we wanted at a fair price, and made the process interesting and as painless as possible. He was willing to meet us at any hour, and kept us up-to-the-minute through email -- all a great help to us due to work schedules, etc. Best of all, he is a really nice guy. So it is a pleasure to now add our own Yelp endorsements. If you are like us, new to the city and looking for someone who combines honest advice with efficient support, you cannot do better. Heck, even if you are a SF native, he is the guy. Mark is a gem. read more

Mark was our represented my wife and I when we were looking for a place to start out together. He was extremely patient with us. First he and is associates started by taking us to different neighborhoods that might suit us to get a feel. Once we figured out exactly what neighborhoods we wanted to live in we really got down to business. They took us to all the possibilities in the respective neighborhoods. From there we narrowed it down to what kind of homes will work and wouldn't. What figured out was for our price we wanted to more livable space as opposed to perhaps having a small patch of grass that belonged to us. Also we figured out that we weren't going to buy something that may have old world charm since we decided a drafty place is not for us. Once we found which place we wanted, Mark's skills really came in handy. He seemed to know everyone on the real estate circuit. This helped tremendously in getting us a very good deal. He was vigilant in tempering our bidding process in order to make sure we didn't pay a dime more. Working with Mark and the Climb team was dream. Highly recommend him. read more

Mark helped me move into the Infinity June 2009. To date, I still feel that Mark got me as good a deal as anyone in the development. His dedication to me as a client is incomparable. Even for someone that does real estate consulting as a living, engaging Mark was a wise decision on my part, made me feel at ease through the process and felt like he had my back the entire way! And if you like to keep your ears close to the ground like I do... READ HIS BLOG at SF New Developments! It is timely... informative and just outright interesting. read more

My boyfriend and I recently closed escrow on our first home, and I can honestly say that if it weren't for Mark, we wouldn't be calling ourselves homeowners at the Infinity. When we started looking for places, we looked all over the city, went to a handful of open houses, and decided that we wanted to live in South Beach. Greg did all of the research, and ultimately decided on talking to Mark because of his reputation, the fact that he does the most business at the buildings we were most interested in, and had really good (and numerous) recommendations. After a few email exchanges (which started on a Monday) addressing some of the key items we were looking for in our new place, Mark asked if we were available for a private showing for a 1 BR/BA place that was not listed on the market yet on that Wednesday. We saw the place, got to talking to Mark directly about some of the features about the building, what his thoughts were in terms of how it was being priced relative to some of the other units that had recently sold, some of the big benefits that came from having that particular unit relative to others in the building, and gave us a walking tour of all of the amenities. Knowing that the unit had yet to be listed and that Infinity units don't last on the market for very long, we put in our offer the next day (Thursday), and by Friday, our offer had been accepted. The rest from that point, is history. And because that wasn't enough, Mark has contacts and influence with all the key people you need to close your deal such as the lenders, insurance agents, inspectors, all of whom are familiar with the specific development/property. Having Mark on our side was a HUGE advantage, especially in such a hot and competitive market. Both of us agree that Mark was most certainly the key in finding our perfect home, and we both highly recommend him for those looking to buy in South Beach/SOMA. Thank you Mark! read more

Mark is very knowlegeble of the SF real estate market. My wife and I relied on him to sell our condo at a very turbulent time in the real estate market. His advise on timing and pricing were spot-on and the result was a sale that, in my opion, was stellar. Thanks Mark. Oh by the way, we got more than what we were asking for and it sold in a week and a half. read more

Don't let his baby face fool you as he is experienced and mature. Great agent who is honest, responsible and reliable. Detailed oriented and trustworthy as I have had great experience working with him on a few transactions including selling and buying. I highly recommend Mark and his team if you are looking to sell or buy in SF. read more

My wife and I met Mark at an Open House a few years ago, and we initially got a good vibe from him. We made sure to get his card and kept his contact information on hand for the day when we would be ready to put our own place on the market. Fast forward two years and I can only say that I am so glad that we met him that day! The three main criteria that we wanted in an agent are all things that we checked off with Mark. First, someone who is knowledgeable. Mark truly knows his market. If you're interested in buying or selling a luxury condo in downtown SF, he is your man. Whether it be a new or existing development, Mark really knows his stuff. His specialty is SOMA/South Beach and his expertise differentiates him from most of the other agents that we met. His wealth of contacts, knowledge, and experience were truly valuable in this tough market environment. Second, someone who is honest. One of the most important things for us is that we wanted someone who we could trust. We didn't want someone who made us feel pressured or that gave a used-car salesman sort of sales pitch. Mark gives his honest, unbiased feedback and never tries to sugarcoat or hide anything. He is very open, and is happy to provide his personal views on pricing, timing, staging, negotiating, and all of the other components that go into buying or selling a home. Lastly, someone who you are comfortable with. Buying or selling a home is a very personal thing, and working with Mark was a pleasure. He is a consummate professional, always quick to respond and accessible via phone, email, or text. Mark works to get you the best deal and was helpful in our negotiations back and forth with multiple parties. He truly has your best interests at heart and we never felt pressured by him to make a decision. He honestly works to get you the best options and I don't think you can ask more of an agent. I'd highly recommend Mark to anyone interested in buying or selling a property and we would definitely use his services again in a heartbeat. read more

Mark is a great agent! I had to find someone to rent my place at the Infinity in short notice, and he found someone with days! He's not only professional and knowledgeable of the SOMA real estate market, but also a fun guy! I highly recommend him if you're looking for a tenant or a new home! read more

Mark is pretty unbelievable. He provided me with the expertise and dedication I would have expected had I been selling a $10 million house, not my two-bedroom condo. I would have felt like I was his only client had it not been for the fact that many of my neighbors were getting just as good service from Mark at the same time. I'm not sure how he does it. Mark also works smart. He was always there for me and has a great team behind him that makes him an expert at every aspect whether it is negotiating the deal, staging, marketing, financing or the real key, pricing. What matters are results, however. Mark delivers. The man has his thumb on the pulse of downtown and knows the ins and outs of the market, the sale prices for comps that no one else knows about and opportunities before they hit the market. In my case, I could not be happier with how he handled my sale and the results. Plus, it is not often that I come across a person I trust unquestionably. read more

Mark helped us find our new SF home! Although he's an expert in the SOMA area, his reach did not stop there and was helpful in our search even as our parameters expanded south. His many years of real estate expertise made him a known name and helped us in our negotiations with the selling agent. He is a trustworthy, friendly, knowledgeable agent and I recommend working with him. read more

Mark had helped us in 5 successful buying and selling transactions in the Infinity. He is "The Expert" of the Infinity! We trusted him completely, and enjoyed working with him. We will continue to work with him for the years to come. read more

Mark definitely deserves the five star here. I probably will give him a higher rating if one is available. He has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Mark is honest, professional, efficient and experienced. He and his team really knows the ins and outs of real estate, especially in the SOMA area. He helped us sell our condo in just 1 month from listing to closing. He was with us every step of the way and always available to give good advices and great strategies. He is truly the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. I highly recommend Mark and will refer him to everyone I know who is interested in buying or selling in SF. Thank you, Mark! read more

Mark is a great agent. Along with all the previous praise, Mark is always available, and ready to help out. He is always reachable, and is ready to get things completed. He even spoke to me while on vacation in Hawaii!!! I have had 2 separate transactions with Mark, and both were successful because of his great knowledge of the market. He is superb, and made the process painless. If you are buying or selling in SF/SOMA, use Mark. It is that simple. read more

I have known Mark for a number of years now and trust few other realtors as much as I do him. He is a tireless worker and knows how to get results for his cleints. As a mortgage originator, I find him to be the best representation of the real estate broker. He is always reachable, knowledgeable, and does an exceptional job negotiating for his clients. For the San Francisco Market, I would send my prospective buyers to no one else, and If you elect to ask Mark represent your Real Estate needs, you are in good hands. read more

We feel as if we had the luck to close escrow on exactly the right property, and it would not have been possible without Mark. Top 5 awesome things about Mark. (5) Never said "This property is really well priced." or "This is what you guys have been looking for." Mark never gave us pressure to move on a property. He was on our side and wasn't out to make a quick buck. (4) Easy, Efficient, Effective Communication with Mark was always easy. We're all busy people, and Mark gets to the core of the issue or question without talking you up an ear full. Anytime we had an important question or concern, he responded quickly and effectively. (3) Knowledgeable Mark is a seasoned yet charming veteran in this business. He's a priceless asset you want to have on your team (and NOT on the other team), especially when it's a heated market, as it has been for us. He's convinced a seller to let us recounter when they otherwise wouldn't have and he recommended a top mortgage agent for us, allowing us to make a super competitive bid and close in 21 days! (2) Patient & Flexible Our search was a migration through SF and beyond: Starting in Soma, moving to Nob Hill, Pac Heights, Diamond Heights, Asbury Heights, etc... Through it all, Mark was flexible and as pleasant as always. Thanks Mark! (1) Just a really cool and competent guy. You really can't say that for just anybody. In another scenario, I might have been stressed, pulling my hair out and wallowing in despair. But having Mark on our side, I was stressed, pulling my hair out and enjoying the adventure that is house hunting. Happy hunting and say Hi to Mark for me. read more

Mark was there for my husband and me when we were nervous yet excited to buy our first home, but more importantly, he really pulled through or rather pulled us through while we were selling our home the following year when we needed to relocate out of state. We were scared that we would lose money because of the depressed housing market/ economy but I swear as nervous as we were, we listened to everything Mark advised us to do. He really made us feel confident. He was really calm and professional and we ended up making money on our property. Now we are moving back with our little girl and I am so glad that Mark is assisting us. We plan on buying in a year but mark has answered all of questions about neighborhoods, schools and kid friendly areas. Trust me I call him on a whim and he never cares. He is awesome. read more

I worked with Mark for purchasing a home in SF. He is an honest, trust-worthy and in IMHO, the absolute go-to person when it comes to SF Real Estate. I was an anxious buyer and Mark helped address all my concerns. The part I like most about Mark is - he is honest. He always gives an impartial advice and never ever pressurizes you to make a purchase - in spite of his commission being at stake. This is such a rare quality to find in a Real Estate agent - even more so in San Francisco. Mark is a thorough professional. He gave us great advice on how to make an offer more compelling without really raising the purchase price and places we should avoid because prices may fall due to various upcoming projects. There was never a moment when I had to follow-up for anything - he was always on top on things. If I were to a make a real estate transaction again - I would certainly partner with Mark. read more

I knew almost nothing about buying a home when my husband and I decided to buy. The best decision we made was to go with Mark. Mark explained everything in detail to us, was extremely patient, always available, and extremely knowledgeable. From the first day until closing, Mark amazingly seemed to make himself available to us, even at the last minute. Any time we had a question, we could always call, email, or text him and get a quick answer. Mark is honest, straightforward, reliable, and overall great to work with. I've already recommended him to several friends! Excellent!! read more

We considered ourselves pretty self-directed home-buyers, although without experience in California. We spent few months going through open houses to familiarize with the selection out there, were on top of the online selection and had a Mother of All Excel Workbooks to manage our finances. Still we felt a need for a local expert, and as we were looking for new condos or lofts in SOMA/South Beach area, Mark was a logical choice. And boy are we happy that we went with him! Even though the place we decided on was something we found on our own and Mark did not initially recommend it, he did a great job in negotiating a great price and ensuring we're getting good value. What makes Mark a great agent for a buyer? He knows the area, and everyone knows him. He knew every building we were considering and was always available to answer questions and provide insight on why certain place is more desirable than others, and what drives the market. He does not hesitate to say when he doesn't like a certain place or if he thought we were wrong. We ended up in a unit much better than we hoped, in great location and with much lower price than we could have negotiated on our own. read more

We recently had an excellent experience working with Mark Choey. We were first time home buyers looking for a loft in the SOMA/Mission area. The housing market is currently very competitive, with desirable properties selling for 10-15% over asking price. After learning about our priorities, Mark was able to identify a loft that was *not yet on the market* that was a perfect match for what we wanted. He helped us place an offer, which was accepted, on this loft before it ever reached the market. No one else was able to bid on this unit. Having been to dozens of open houses, I know that we got a great deal. This would not have been possible if we were working with anyone other than Mark. His deep connections helped us identify this unit before it was listed and thereby avoid a bidding war. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and I recommend him highly to anyone, especially those looking for properties south of market. read more
