About Mark Darfler
Hi, I’m Mark. I’ve been helping people buy and sell homes in the Bay Area for over 23 years, and I still love what I do. Most of my work these days is with trustees, executors, and families who’ve inherited a home—often one that’s been lived in for decades. My job is to take what can feel like an overwhelming process and make it simple, stress-free, and successful.
I grew up moving around as part of a military family, but I’ve called the East Bay home since 1972. I raised my five kids here, surf whenever I can, and know these neighborhoods inside and out. That local knowledge—paired with my UC Berkeley business degree—helps me create smart pricing and marketing strategies that bring in strong offers.
Whether the home is a fixer-upper, dated, or move-in ready, I handle everything: inspections, contractor coordination, marketing, and negotiations. I’m hands-on from start to finish so you don’t have to worry about the details.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my honesty, clear communication, and the fact that I treat their sale like it’s my own. At the end of the day, my goal is simple—get you the best possible result and make the process feel easy.
If you’re ready to sell or just have questions about the process, I’m here to help.
