My boyfriend and I purchased our first home back in September. When we first started looking, we reached out to Mark based on a family-friend's high recommendation. We were nervous to find the right agent because we knew we would need someone who was willing to be patient and respectful of our budget. We also knew that as our first home we were going to be particular, and wanting a duplex drastically minimized our options. Mark quickly responded to our inquiry and invited us into a meeting. It was clear to us within minutes that Mark's professionalism and enthusiasm was exactly what we needed to find the right place. During the process he took special note of our needs, kept our budget in mind and shared no grief about our frequent calls and questions - we especially appreciated his willingness to explain real estate terminology and next-steps (sometimes more than once!) During walk-throughs, Mark respectfully pointed out things in homes that we wouldn't have thought to look for and provided us with tips and tricks along the way. He managed to lock us in with a buyer before a home hit the market and got us an amazing deal using his negotiation skills. He never pressured us and always encouraged us to take the time we needed to make decisions. Overall, Mark was an excellent agent and we couldn't have done it without him. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a positive home-buying experience!
