Mark Elmasry was recommended to me by my daughter, as she has known him for several years prior to his working in the Real Estate Industry. During our first meeting, I found Mark to be friendly, personable, very honest and knowledgeable. He was very professional and came fully prepared with market information and current trends, and was familiar with prior successful sales of similar homes within my gated community, and was helpful in achieving my objectives. While my home was in great condition, he took the necessary steps and actions in the staging of the home by making minor cosmetic changes and recommendations and had a very successful first Open House. Fortunately, the house was on the market for a very short period of time before we accepted a very fair offer which was above listed price. He understood my level of stress/anxiety and made the entire process and transition incredibly smooth. He also went above and beyond his normal responsibilities and assisted me with the necessary changes that needed to be completed upon review of the inspection report. Mark was not only successful in achieving the goal on the sale of our house, but did his diligence in assisting us in the purchase of a new home in the Orange County area. Overall, my family and I are extremely happy with the outcome. Mark was always respectful of both me and my daughters and treated us like members of his own family. I will not hesitate to recommend him to individuals looking to sell and/or buy their home. Many thanks to him for everything!
