Mark helped us with the sale of our townhome in a very difficult marketplace. He was very knowledgable about the HOA and its history. It was really a team effort working with Mark. He listened to our ideas and if he thought there might be a better approach he wasn't afraid to point it out. We had two price reductions and Mark thoughtfully guided us through them. He was easy to communicate with and arrange face to face strategy meetings. With his expertise we were able to get this property sold in about ninety days, and in a very difficult condo/townhouse market. I would highly recommend Mark.

Mark couldn't have been more helpful "on the ground" in Sebastopol, meeting with us, advising us about specifics of the property we were considering and the purchase price. He provided helpful advice on a range of services available for post-purchase work addressing items in the inspection report. Every in-person interaction was friendly, helpful; we never felt rushed as he gave us as much of his time as we needed.

Mark Spaulding is on top of the local market location and price trends. He set up getting prepared for sale clearly with known, quality vendors, educating me with what would help to sell the property best and what was not needed. He often anticipated my questions and answered them clearly, responding quickly. He also took my thoughts into account when setting a price and a timeline. He negotiated well on my behalf and kept my information private. Mark is a professional gem and I would happily use him again.

This sale was a bit unusual since we were selling a home with an undeveloped lot next door. Mark met the challenge quite professionally, exposing the offerings first to many of the local real estate agents in the Bodega Bay area.

In preparing the home for sale over the course of six months, Mark provided thoughtful guidance throughout. He made referrals for inspections and improvements, suggested which improvements to prioritize, and made on-site observations of the progress. Mark's communications were timely, clear, and understanding. He was prepared to market the home very quickly after improvements were completed. He set reasonable expectations in discussing a list price using his expertise and research. The marketing materials were excellent and really helped to set the property apart from others on the market. You are in good hands with Mark.

Mark came highly recommended from a family member and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Due to divorce, we needed to sell our home of 20+ years quickly. Mark was so kind and caring and respectful during this process. His many years of experience shone through. From advertising, open houses, questions/concerns, negotiating, Mark helped us navigate through everything easily. We give Mark our sincerest gratitude for all his help.

I have bought & sold several homes with his help. Professional, kind and caring. Grateful to consider him a friend as well as a partner. Thanks Mark!

We have used Mark as an agent for all of our family’s real estate transactions. We would never use anyone else! He is kind, listens to us and helps us to find the best way to handle our situations. His knowledge is tops!

Mark is one of the best people I have ever worked with. His knowledge of the neighborhoods and areas in Santa Rosa unparalleled. He asks great questions to elicit what constitutes your dream home and then goes on the hunt to find it. He is a great negotiator and a skilled tactician. He is patient and an excellent listener. He found the key to my perfect home!

Mark is knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. I would highly recommend him!

Mark was wonderful to work with along with his colleagues in helping us sell our family home. Not only did he listen to what our goals were he also consulted on good marketing strategies to help us prep the house and land. I especially appreciated the help with the paperwork as I am living in another state than my brothers and Mark. We are very happy with the results!

Mark was the ideal partner for our home purchase - knowledgeable, experienced, and completely professional throughout. He helped us understand the nuances of the local market and was highly effective in communicating with everyone involved. We appreciated how he kept things moving without ever rushing us, giving us the space and time we needed to make confident decisions. Buying a home is a big deal, and Mark was the trustworthy, competent guide we were hoping for. We’re so glad we found him and would gladly recommend him to others.
