Mark was fantastic; he was attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and always willing and able to provide sound and useful advice. We were incredibly happy with our experience with him and would recommend him to anyone in need of a good broker in New Jersey (especially Maplewood and South Orange).
We have only the highest praise for Mark Slade. Mark is extremely knowledgeable in most every facet of what is a challenging, detailed, sometimes fickle and often emotional process. He was saavy in the numbers, and provided astute, timely counsel every step of the way. Mark brings resources to the table to help you get things done. We also valued Mark's high level of integrity and poise. A smart person with financial acumen and knowledge of building structures and code is all very important -- and he brings this too. But my favorite thing to say is that Mark is a broker psychologist. He took care of us and these transactions all require that extra support at so many points along the way.
I approached Mark for selling my property. He gathered my expectations, did market analysis and came up with the appropriate selling price. He put together a marketing strategy and most importantly an exit plan. After few months of sincere and meticulous efforts of selling, he came across a potential tenant who is much interested in renting a property for a decent rent. Mark weighed the options and made his recommendations for renting the property. His interes towards my benefits against his monetary benefit is very rare to see. He is highly methodological, available for me all the time, always kept me informed and above all truly demonstrated the characteristics of "customer first". Thanks Mark.
Excellent and incredibly helpful throughout the process of preparing my house for sale through the actual sale.<br/><br/>I would highly recommend Mark Slade.<br/><br/>Nikki Feirt Atkins, M.D.
We are very grateful Mark handled the most important transaction of our lives. His tenancious involvement and commitment to resolving a number of issues with the mortgage company and appraiser are what got us to the closing table. He always quickly responded to all our concerns and questions. We highly recommend using Mark as your realtor. Brenda and John
I was selling a property in NJ while living in FL, and Mark was great about keeping me informed at every step. His marketing materials -- especially online video -- were well done and showed off the property to its best advantage.
Mark was recommended to me by someone who had sold her own home through him & who had also been in the real estate business. Contacting him at first in the latter part of 2013, I just wanted to know what my options were. Mark took the time to go through them with me & let me ponder for as long as I needed. With absolutely no pressure, he contacted me from time to time to see where I was at in my thought process & also to inform me of what was happening in the market in South Orange.<br/><br/>Finally, in February of 2014, all of the elements were in line for a sale to take place. Mark came by & we spoke of how we would sell the house, when, the time frame involved & prices. Everything was up front & Mark was sure to explain the process as it unfolded. He was available to answer any & all of my queries & has been a solid supporter from the beginning up until now, as we are still undecided if we will stay in the area or not. And if we are to go elsewhere, Mark is ready to help! <br/><br/>Mark Slade knows his business extremely well & got us top dollar for our home. His care & knowledge of the personal element & experience; however, is in my humble opinion, a game changer. Selling one's home is far too intimate & personal an event to entrust to just anybody. Mark is not just anybody, & I highly recommend him whether you are buying, selling, renting or need an expert opinion.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mark Slade on my recent purchase in South Orange. This was a difficult transaction (short sale), and Mark made himself completely available at every turn. He kept on top of all the details needed in a short sale, anticipated the next steps and kept us sane throughout.<br/><br/>If you are looking for a professional, committed and informed agent in this community, Mark is wonderful. He is of the highest integrity, seems to love the work that he does, and is extremely hardworking. I recommend him without hesitation!
Mark sold my Summit Home for me in quick order and at a great price. As he promised, he had wonderful pictures that showed my home off in the best possible way. A major point of difference was the video he produced; it was the talk of my neighbors and buyers alike, as it provided everyone with a real life tour of the home as depicted by “virtual” agent who could talk to all the benefits and features of the home, including prospective changes that would add even more value to the home. He made the process easy for me and my family and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their Summit home, or any town’s home!
If it weren't for Mark, I would never have been able to sell my old house and buy a new one. There were a number of unexpected, serious roadblocks to both transactions and it was Mark's expertise, skills and good humor that got me past these challenges. He helped me every step of the way!
Mark was fantastic helping us market and sell our home. He knows the market well and is very savvy. We would recommend him to anyone interested in selling or looking for a home.
Mark is excellent. I wholeheartedly recommend him. He makes the process as easy as possible. Further, if you are selling a house, he knows how to market it better than most realtors.
