I had the opportunity to work with Jonathan and he is an absolutely great Realtor. He performed under pressure to be able to find a home and get an offer accepted for the buyers as they needed to close by a certain time. Jonathan was very helpful in making the whole process smoother and working with the listing agent to help keep everything together and to a successful sale. He helped me in the process with staying focused on what needed to happen and being patient when things took longer then expected with the financing side. I would totally recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home here in the Bay Area. read more

Reached out via text as we are looking for an agent in Marin. Someone at the number 415.307.0505 responded and said they would like to schedule a zoom call. I sent my availability. Then, no response. One week later and still crickets. This is very unprofessional, and bad customer service. read more

If you are here than you are in decision mode. Jonathan is a great help in decision making, oh he won't tell you what to decide, but he will patiently and clearly answer every single question you have. This meant a great deal to me when we were purchasing our home, as it was my first experience and I'm conceptual. I need to think through decisions with lots of detail. I had no idea what to expect from the process, and still found I had unreal expectations. Jonathan's kind and gentle handing of my stream of questions alone was enough to make him a good agent, but that's not all you get from him. We were especially appreciative of his gentle steady nature as our sellers agent complicated things oddly. He handled that sticky scenario kindly while protecting our interests at every moment. He's so kind in all his interactions it's easy to miss when he's being tough. But he is when needed. We were so proud to have ourselves represented through the sticky part so graciously and firmly. We got the correct house for us! The market at the time was like the wild west with huge overbidding, and a lot of competition. Jonathan's knowledge of neighborhoods, and other agents seriously helped us place correct offers and avoid a couple that we ultimately had no chance at. We got ours for asking! And we love our home that suits us so well, just as predicted by Jonathan at the start. Sure, he's knowledgeable, smart, personable, professional, and all that you'd need and expect in a good agent. He is also an incredibly kind, caring, you focused, person that is a joy to work with. And isn't that what we'd all like to be around, and work with? Here's your chance to select a great agent. read more

Home buying is always stressful. So that's why you need Jonathan Marks on your team to make the process a whole lot easier! One of the factors that really drew us to Jonathan was his abundance of resources at our disposal. This made looking for a home so easy! Even after purchasing our home, he offers us great connections from contractors to moving companies. And the best thing about working with Jonathan is his personality! He's very easy to communicate with, and he really helped calm our nerves during some of the stressful closing deadlines. I would say, if you still need convincing, call him up to meet in person! Thanks Jonathan for our beautiful new home!!! read more

If I had to sum Jonathan Marks up it would be this: Sharp, sophisticated, kind, trustworthy, respectful realtor/friend with a long-term mindset in both business and relationships. His approach is not for instant gratification, but for long term happiness and success for all parties involved. We were introduced to Jonathan by the corporate relocation company handling our relo from NJ to CA. Jonathan stood out from day one because he was focused on showing us the community we were thinking of settling in, getting to know us personally so he knew how to best help us, and being more of a guide than a salesman. We were buying in a hot market and had only 4 months to find, buy and move into a place because of our temporary housing arrangement. Needless to say this caused a good amount of stress and anxiety for us. We knew nothing about the area or market other than how tough the search would be. We kept hearing about people still house hunting for over a year and there being as many as 6-8 bids on one house. Jonathan understood the market and counseled/educated us in such a manner that we were able to put one bid on the house we wanted and got it in the first try within our price range. I am convinced our experience was as minimally stressful and efficient as the process can be because of Jonathan's smarts, straightforward nature, positive energy and the strong relationships he has built and maintained in the many years in the business. We have been in our home now for about 8 months and could not be happier. The house is amazing and we feel very comfortable in the community. It has everything we wanted. We attribute our happiness in our new home and community to Jonathan and are so thankful to him. read more

Jonathan was a pleasure to work with throughout my search for a new home in San Francisco. As I was moving here from Chicago, Jonathan was great at explaining some of the differences and nuances in the home buying process here versus elsewhere across the country. As I was moving across the country, timing was very important. Jonathan exceeded my expectations. He kept us informed on potential properties and we were able to narrow our search down very quickly. Additionally, he offered great guidance throughout the offer process and ultimately we were fortunate to have our offer accepted on our top choice property. He continued to support us through the final loan approval process. Upon moving in, he has also been great at offering us suggestions for contractors and handymen to aid us with some remodel projects. Jonathan is a very kind and supportive agent who deeply cares about finding the right property for his clients. read more

Jonathan Marks is an incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive real estate agent who guided us through the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new dream home. Jonathan's guidance as we prepared our old home for sale was invaluable in ensuring that we got the most for our home. With the minor investment we made in polishing it up and staging it, he helped us overcome some other issues that could have resulted in our home being stuck on the market - some issues with an in-law unit as well as street noise. As a result, we sold our home in just a couple of weeks, with multiple offers. Likewise, he guided us through the process of finding and purchasing our new home. We'd been looking at homes for more than a year before finally getting serious. Jonathan's expert eye and honesty in pointing out pluses and minuses really helped us out. He was truly committed to making sure we found a house that we would love forever. And when it came time to make the offer, his sage advice helped us beat out two other bidders, including one whose offer was higher. During every stage of our real estate odyssey, we felt totally taken care of. Jonathan excels at making the process fun and exciting while also being exceptionally detail oriented. In addition to being exceptional, he has developed relationships with other professionals who are equally outstanding. Jonathan's deep understanding of the local real estate market and the buying and selling process, along with his intuition and creativity resulted in a tremendously successful real estate transaction for us. We love Jonathan and refer him out every opportunity we get. read more

Jonathan is a super bright and extremely hard-working agent. Totally professional. He was very responsive in our time working together, always happy to jump on the phone and patiently answer all my (often ridiculous) questions. He also connected me to a great agent in Los Angeles, and has a strong network of agents across the country after many years of working in the business. I'm a big fan of Jonathan's, have recommended him to several friends, and would happily work with him again if life ever brings me back to the Bay Area. read more

Jonathan is an amazing and intuitive real estate agent. He helped us buy our first house, located in Marin. We needed a lot of hand holding and advice as we went through the process and Jonathan took the time to help us through. At the time we were buying there was no real inventory to speak of, every house we bid on had so many offers we thought we would never find a house that we could afford. Every offer we made we were significantly out bid, making us feel very discouraged, but with every outbid offer Jonathan reassured us that the house we were meant to have would find us. Each time we put in an offer Jonathan worked just as hard as the first time to make sure our experience was as painless as possible. Through the entire process he always knew we would find the right house and he was right, the right house found us. The great thing about Jonathan is even after the purchase, he still remains very interested. I run into Jonathan frequently and every time he asks how the house is and is very interested in all of the work we are putting into it. He truly cares about everyone he encounters in his life and everyone he does business with is embraced as a friend. You cannot find a better agent to represent you and you will not find a better person to encounter on this earth. Jonathan is hands down the absolute best advocate you can find when you are either buying or selling a house. read more

Jonathan is great to work with- professional, super experienced, and really amazing to work with and challenging situations. Highly recommend it as both a listing agent and the buyers agent. A much appreciated aptitude, energy and experience for Bay Area real estate! read more

Jonathan is the one realtor that is real. He doesn't wear a mask when talking to you. He's as true to himself as it gets. We approached Jonathan out of curiosity and still not being pre-approved. He encouraged us to get pre-approved. We did so, yet after being pre-approved our relationship stumbled upon a hiccup. For almost a whole year, Jonathan was patient enough to always check in and see where we were at. he was kind and compassionate. Finally when we were ready again, he jumped on the game and we conquered a place in San Francisco. No we are not millionaires. Highly recommended read more

I'll be honest, Jonathan has not (yet) helped me with any real estate endeavors. I am writing this review simple because he is one of a kind, solid dude! In all seriousness, Jonathan is truly inspiring, sincere guy with the highest level of integrity you're gonna find. I've known him for over 10 years and I cant tell you the many life lessons I've received in our encounters. As likable and respected he is in his personal life, I can only imagine how that would translate to business i.e. getting things accomplished with banks, lenders, appraisers etc. If you are considering a real estate agent in the SF / North Bay, its a no brainer! read more

When I started looking for homes in Mill Valley, I called Jonathan immediately. From the first, call, I immediately knew that I found a great agent. Jonathan is a tremendous communicator (over the phone and over e-mail), he's knowledgable, and he's very patient. He drove me around Mill Valley and quickly got me acquainted with all of the neighborhoods. I eventually decided to buy a home on the Peninsula, but if I consider Mill Valley again, I would call Jonathan first. I had a great experience working with him in searching for a home in Mill Valley. read more

My wife and I were first-time home buyers when we contacted Jonathan to begin exploring our options. He helped us understand the process, learn the markets, talked us through our doubts and moved quickly to help us secure our new place in San Francisco- all with an unbelievable amount of patience and diligence. Did I mention that he did all this while putting up with our indecision for six years? It took us that long- constantly changing our minds, jumping in and out of the market and just generally being indecisive. He never pressured us, never lost his patience, and was always ready at a moment's notice when we needed him. With a (relatively) low budget and indecisive clients, he still managed to help us find our house in SOMA, one of the most competitive neighborhoods in the most competitive city in America. read more

Piling on to all the great ratings and comments here... Jonathan Marks is a true gem of an Agent. He is generous, thoughtful, honest, determined, and just generally has a positive outlook on his endeavors. If you haven't learned already, the process of buying a home in the Bay Area can be exhausting and very tricky to navigate. It took 11.5 months and five offers for me and my husband to find our dream home in San Anselmo, and Jonathan was there every step of the way with positivity and know-how. He kept us on track with laser focus on our priorities (even when we sometimes waivered;) and did so without ever pressuring us. He has a gift for reading his clients, and catering to their desired level of engagement and coaching. It's also worth noting that almost every agent that we met along the way at open houses knew of Jonathan and was very eager to work with him (hint: this is very important in the Bay Area). Wherever possible, we always felt that we had the "inside scoop". The most surprising aspect of the process was Jonathan's commitment to us even AFTER the closing. He has opened his rolodex to us in helping to find contractors - from home care to roofers to landscape architects. He is extremely well connected and not the least bit shy about sharing his contacts. Jonathan Marks is a lovely human being, and a highly skilled Agent. We've already referred him to friends without hesitation, and will continue to do so. Good luck to you in your home search! read more

Jonathan is a conscientious and resourceful realtor. I've referred many of my clients to Jonathan, and he treats them with compassion and dignity as they go through the painful process of selling their home, or the joyful process of purchasing a new home. Jonathan is creative in the marketing of homes as well as patiently tenacious in the purchase process. If you are buying or selling in the Marin or San Francisco areas, contact Jonathan Marks. Annette Brown, CDFA(TM) 415-312-1987 read more

If you're buying a house, without hesitation I recommend Jonathan and his team. As complete newbies to the home buying process, Jonathan walked us through every step with patience and not an ounce of condescension. He's a genuine guy who obviously really enjoys what he does. He always made time for us and hustled. Our first bid (not accepted) was put together in about 12 hours when someone else put in a preemptive bid. Jonathan handled it all with grace and competence. He has great relationships with other realtors in the area which makes everything easier. In fact the seller's agent actually told us that he was the difference in us getting the house, the bids were so close the difference was working with someone she trusted. His team is also great. In RE transactions, there's always a piano (http://www.mcguire.com/blog/2016/11/theres-always-a-piano/), and ours was no exception. When we discovered a gas leak during final walk through, Jonathan and especially his team (thanks Miesha!) stepped in to get it fixed and it only delayed our closing by 3 days. And his support hasn't stopped, even after closing. Jonathan continues to help us out with recommendations on everything from where to shop for furniture to which movers to hire. Work with Jonathan, you won't regret it. read more

Jonathan Marks is exceptional. And by exceptional I mean he's the type of guy who truly wants you to get the best value possible. He is not someone who just wants to make a quick sale and earn a commission. He helped us look in Marin for almost a year and although we ended up not buying in the area because of the very competitive housing market (switched our focus from Marin to the East Bay) he was so gracious and helpful with getting us in touch with the right people to help us with our search elsewhere. Jonathan not only has high integrity he also knows the market really well. He can tell you which streets in Marin are shady versus sunny (down to the type of day) and what the traffic patterns are on weekends and weekdays. He knows the area like the back of his hand. We went through a ton of open houses and every single broker knew of Jonathan and only had great things to say about him. We are so lucky to have met Jonathan. What a truly solid individual! If you are looking in SF and Marin Jonathan is THE BROKER to get in touch with! You cannot find a better agent to represent you. read more

I have seen Jonathan up close and in action during a transaction. He is thorough, patient, likable, seasoned and knows the market backwards and forwards. I can see why he is already so well reviewed. Buying or selling real estate is a combination of a business transaction, a personal transaction, mixed in with some emotional coaching and life lessons. Jonathan handles all facets handily. Trust him with your area real estate needs. read more

My partner and I recently moved to the area from Central Texas, and though we were concentrating our efforts on looking for homes in the East Bay area (primarily because of easy access to BART), our realtor over there encouraged us to take a look at Marin County and connected us with Jonathan. We honestly hadn't given Marin much thought at all, because, wholly despite the fact that it's literally just a hop over the bridge, it seemed like its own private universe, far removed from the Golden City. (News flash: it's not.) Jonathan's easygoing demeanor and unabashed enthusiasm for Marin and its charms were infectious from the moment we met him, and not only did we fall instantly for him and his fabulous associate, but we also unexpectedly and immediately fell in love with a gorgeous home in Novato. (We didn't get that home, but long story short, that experience led us directly to the home that we *did* end up buying.) There were a number of tense moments throughout the buying process, and even though I'm certain we tried his patience to the point of exhaustion more than once, Jonathan coached us through the highs and lows brilliantly, and never with anything short of great joy and understanding. He kept us fully informed with up-to-the-second updates, and he worked hard to keep our end of the process as painless as possible. Trust me: if you're buying a home in Marin County, Jonathan is the exact person you want in your corner. read more

Don't let the long hair fool you. Jonathan is an amazing professional with a talent and energy that means he is 200%...more like 2000% looking out for the best interests of his clients. I've enjoyed working with Jonathan and know that all the details, i's dotted and t's crossed will be done without having to bug him about them. Jonathan is the kind of realtor that makes my job easier and all the better for our collective clients. You won't be disappointed with Jonathan representing you. read more

Jonathan... I hardly know where to begin. Your kindness and gentle way made our real estate transaction so very seamless. Thank you for explaining each step in the process and quickly answering my many emails, texts, and phone calls. You made me feel like I'm your only client. I will be forever grateful. read more

Jonathan was great. A wonderful person to work with. He knows Marin like the back of his hand. He's at your beck and call replying within minutes with answers, yet super patient and out of your way when you're busy, or need space, or need some alone time in the house you may potentially buy. Oh, and the resources. He's got a ton of recommendations of great people that you may need to help you with your decision to buy (contractors, architects, inspectors, etc.) or help you may need after you buy (baby sitters, etc.) He never let us down. Jonathan was great. read more

As first time home-buyers making the transition from city living to the suburbs, Jonathan led us through the house hunt like a true professional and sincere friend. We spent six months tentatively looking around while he was patient and gave honest advice on homes to avoid, never steering us towards something that wasn't a fit. When we were ready to put an offer in (our first attempt ever), he handled all the details with expediency and precision. Closing the deal required an extended escrow period and Jonathan made sure we felt comfortable with all the proper inspections and results, helping us navigate the ever-changing and often confusing realty regulations. Jonathan is a class act and we're pleased to now be neighbors and friends as he is committed to supporting clients beyond the transaction and giving back to the community. read more

In my many years as a mortgage professional, we have worked with a lot of Realtors and I can say with pride and conviction that I would recommend Jonathan to any one of my friends, family or clients looking to buy or sell. In addition to his unique understanding of the local market, I am even more impressed with how in-tune Jonathan becomes with his clients' needs, representing them in their transactions in a way that is both personal and professional. Not only is he a consummate professional, but he's a rock-solid citizen and a great guy. read more

We just bought our first home and feel very lucky to have worked with Jonathan. Without his local knowledge and tireless hard work, we would have been quickly discouraged in the frenzied Bay Area market this past summer. Instead, we are thrilled with our purchase and still call Jonathan as a resource. He helped us with the home purchase and to get settled into the community in ways that were above and beyond his job description. But that's the kind of guy he is - loves his work and truly wants his clients to love the result. Prior to the close of our home, he spent many phone calls counseling us on the current market from a buyer's and seller's perspective, mulling over renovation ideas, discussing school districts and location, and more. He then came up with ways we hadn't thought of to save us money on the purchase price. After the close, we still rely on him for advice about local vendors for home projects and the best restaurants to try. Oh yeah, and he's the nicest guy in the world! Totally unflappable, he negotiated with whom I thought was kind of a nasty seller's agent but maintained a wonderfully professional tone as he advocated for us (and got us the result we wanted). Jonathan is reliable, ethical and a sharp negotiator. I can't stress it enough, he's the guy you want to work with! read more

just a quick note for Jonathan....Jonathan helped my wife and i during a time when no one else would give us the time of day. If you want an honest, sincere, professional person to do business with...he's most certainly your man....Thank you Jonathan for being the person who you are... read more

Simply put Jonathan is a wonderful, knowledgeable, helpful and extremely savvy agent. He helped us go from overwhelmed first time sellers to totally calm by having us de-clutter our home and magically transforming it. It showed beautifully. To help accomplish this feat he works with a super team that is fast and efficient. He was able to accomplish all of this within the limited time frame we gave him. He was very supportive and easy to work with. His tips and suggestions worked. He is very professional and really knows what he is doing and has a great sense of the market. He is an awesome negotiator and a wonderful communicator. Did I mention that he is warm and supportive. If you want your house sold quickly and efficiently with a minimum of stress and maximum confidence that you will get the best possible deal, you want Jonathan as your agent! read more

We loved working with Jonathan! Selling a house that we'd loved living in for close to 20 years was challenging for us. Selling it in a buyers' market was even more challenging. Jonathan was there from the very beginning to the very end, offering positive, knowledgeable, caring guidance every step of the way. Jonathan is remarkably hardworking and dedicated. We had email and phone communications at all hours of the morning and evening - and he always seemed delighted to talk with us. He was extremely generous with his time and his spirit. He brought humor and a great perspective to all of our conversations. Jonathan is also incredibly thorough and diligent about staying on top of all the details involved with selling a house. His experience really showed in how comprehensive he was in managing the many moving parts of the final transaction. And, he's got a great network of contacts. From carpet cleaners to inspectors, Jonathan always had helpful suggestions about who to call. In the end, we sold a house and made a wonderful new friend. We recommend him highly. read more

Jonathan made all the difference in the world in our house hunt. He helped guide us through the entire process and was our tireless advocate from start to end. I would not be in my gorgeous house if I had chosen another realtor. Jonathan is your only choice to buy or sell a home in Marin or sf. I can't say enough good things about Jonathan, I'm a huge fan. You'll need his deep bench of experts somewhere in the process. Jonathan was always patient with us, never rushed us. He really wants you to be happy, even if it's not the biggest sale. He's completely genuine, and a great find. Even in this turbulent market he remained calm and centered the entire process. I can't recommend Jonathan enough! read more

Jonathan Marks is a one-of-a-kind real estate agent, and the perfect one to help us find and buy our first single family home. Read his website and you'll get an idea of his philosophy around home buying, and why he is different from all the other agents out there. Since we were hunting for a home to start our family in, and one that we would be holding on to for a long time, it was really important to us to be able to take our time and find a place that we absolutely loved, whether it took 2 months or 2 years. Jonathan was the perfect fit for our process. He was never ever pushy or overly opinionated, and we felt we owned the decision completely. At the same time, he offered tons of really excellent insight that actually caused us to expand and shape our own self-understanding of the type of home we'd be happiest in. In the beginning, we thought our dream home would be in the peace and majesty of Madrone Canyon's redwoods, but after hearing Jonathan describe watching weather roll in dynamically over the hills when we visited a home-with-a-view in Mill Valley, it opened our eyes that we'd love that even better. When we found the awkward living room floor plan to be the single flaw at a certain open house, he thought critically with us about how we might arrange furniture and divide up the space to make sense of it. He suggested that we bring a compass to showings and spot the pattern of moss growth on trees to get an idea about how sunlight hits different parts of the house over the course of a day. It made our home browsing a very relaxed and enriching experience. Once we found the right home for us, Jonathan switched gears and went into execution mode for us. He helped guide us through the offer process and enabled us to submit a bid that felt very fair and was competitive enough to win. During escrow, were always kept in the loop and knew in advance what was expected of us each step of the way. He maintained great relationships and communication with all parties involved in the transaction, which helped us weather through some unexpected challenges together. He's a true professional and it's apparent he has a lot of experience getting deals done right. Jonathan just helped us close on a home that is perfect for us, and we are all smiles! read more

Bottom line: Jonathan knows real estate. Whether it's selling, buying, consulting, inspecting or educating; his knowledge is expert. He listens. He does not push or cajole. There is no salesman here, just someone who TRULY is working on YOUR behalf, not his best interest. What a nice change! Jonathan gave me very sage advice when i bought my condo in SF and continues to do so years later! He loves the interaction and he knows how to make your buying or selling experience a good one. An easy one, when it can sometimes be very trying. He is tireless. I would not hesitate to recommend him, VERY HIGHLY. Aamie M. San Francisco read more

Several years ago my wife and I we're interested in selling our Mill Valley home. A friend recommended Jonathan as our real estate agent so we gave him a call to plan to have him see our home and discuss specifics. We had spoken to a couple other realtors but were not impressed with how they dealt with us. It was a warm summer day when Jonathan came to our home and we sat on our deck looking up at Mt. Tam. Jonathan was very gracious and understanding that after 25 years of living in our home, we we're sad to make a change, even though it was necessary. Jonathan was very understanding and reminded us that we will take the memories with us and all that the 25 years were to us. Well, we decided not to sell and Jonathan continued to stay in touch. He never solicited us but occasionally checked in to see how we were doing. His ability to care and be concerned about our well being created our trust in him. Last January we finally decided to sell and of course the first person we thought of was Jonathan. His care and attention to making it an easy transition was extraordinary. I do believe that he was not motivated by a commission but the well being of his client. He proved that through the negotiations and because of his true understanding of our needs...he made it easy. I have owned homes in the past and dealt with many real estate companies. Anyone interested in selling their home, whatever the circumstances should call Jonathan without another thought. The most important thing to us when leaving our home was knowing that everything was done right and with integrity. Lastly, Jonathan was right, as hard as his words reminding me that we take our memories with us. Jonathan continues to be a close friend. S and R read more

I met Jonathan at an open house in Mill Valley, and was immediately impressed with his openness and personability. He obviously knows a ton about the area and the real estate market, and gave us several things to think about no one else had mentioned before. Compared to so many other realtors we'd met who seemed only interested in pushing us into a home purchase as quickly as possible, Jonathan actually took the time to listen, and his warm personality and honesty helped ease our jitters as first-time homebuyers. Since that first meeting I've been lucky enough to work with Jonathan on a number of occasions, and the positive first impression has only been strengthened. Jonathan is intelligent, hard-working and energetic-- definitely a guy you want to have on your side! read more

I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking to buy or sell property in Marin or SF! Not only is Jonathan a skilled and intuitive real estate professional, but he is also a genuinely caring and attentive human being with his clients' best interest always priority #1. My husband and I have referred Jonathan to many friends and family and have always felt eager and proud to do so. read more

Jonathan, oh Jonathan - if you've ever read one of his testimonials, you know he's not your typical realtor. Call me crazy, but so many real estate agents we've met simply seem disingenuous. This is not the case with Jonathan - he is personable and warm, and extremely conscientious. Jonathan was very patient in helping us find the right home for our family during our 16 month search; he even steered us away from a few homes after looking at them more closely. He was extremely communicative and responsive, so much so that we miss our regular communication with him - we had some great email/text chains. Jonathan's love for his work and wholehearted commitment to clients is apparent and stems from a generous community spirit. It is also worth mentioning that he has great taste in dessert gifts & makes a fabulous jungle gym for our two girls to clamor all over. We hold Jonathan in high regards and would highly recommend him. read more

My husband and I were lucky to find and work with Tobias and the team at Marks Realty. As first time homebuyers, we were pretty intimidated by the whole process. Tobias was able to navigate us through understanding the the ABCs of buying a home in the competitive San Francisco market, narrowing down what really mattered to us in a home, and generally molded us into much savvier buyers. He also helped us to become more competitive buyers by connecting us with trusted lenders and helping us to best frame our offers, all while providing clear and frank guidance. It was always apparent to us that Tobias was going above and beyond to make sure our best interests were being met, even if it meant walking away from a property. We ended up with the perfect home for us, at a fair price, and couldn't be more grateful that we had Tobias to work with throughout the process. If you are looking in SF or Marin, Tobias is your guy! read more

Jonathan worked tirelessly with my associate to find an amazing home in the Bernal Heights area of San Francisco. Not only was Jonathan exceptionally knowledgeable about the various neighborhoods but he put together a terrific offer and then negotiated brilliantly on her behalf. I can honestly say my associate is now a very happy homeowner. When it comes to real estate agents in San Francisco I give Jonathan two very big thumbs up!! read more

Jonathan is one of those rare individuals with an even keel in challenging and emotionally charged situations. He knows the real estate market inside and out, connects deeply with his clients to understand their needs, and provides the best professional service possible. His deft handling of our real estate transaction provided peace of mind and further deepened my respect for his talent and conscientiousness. If you're looking for a real estate partner that keeps your goals and needs in mind look no further than Jonathan Marks! read more

Jonathan Marks was very instrumental to our understanding of the California Housing Market, especially since we were new to the State. We were also worried about paying too much or not be able to purchase as the housing market is just insane here. Jonathan was spot on with his advise. Jonathan was very patient throughout the buying process. He responded to our emails, phone calls and absurd queries (at times) in a timely manner. It is not just about the delivery on time, it is the accuracy of his response and the knowledge he has that made the home buying process smooth. Jonathan is very personable, friendly, competent, professional, confident, and wow, what a great sense of humor. We felt right at home with him immediately, he seems comfortable with us too. We hung out and had coffee and shared family pleasantries (such a family man). If you want someone that will value you as a homebuyer then Jonathan Marks is the full package. (your guy) read more
