We just completed a transaction with Mark Spaulding and Compass Realty. Mark was our agent to sell our property. We took advantage of the Concierge Service that Compass provides which in my opinion requires someone with really good project management skills as well as someone who knows the local real estate market and trends. Mark was just outstanding. As part of the service, he arranged for painting, carpeting, multiple cleanings, trash removal, staging as well as numerous other services. It took a huge burden off us as sellers including significantly reducing the number of trips we had to make to the property. In a volatile real estate market, he helped us price the property correctly and we were able to sell for over asking with a very quick close. One of the most important things was his constant and detailed communications regarding project tasks and timing. Early on he developed a project plan with tasks, sequence, timing and responsibility. He provided regular updates and we always knew where we were in the process. We never wondered what had to happen next. To his credit, he was extremely patient with us a gently nudged us when we were late with the tasks assigned to us. I highly recommend Mark for any real estate transaction you are considering. I have bought and sold several houses over the years and never worked with anyone with the project focus he demonstrated. I cannot imagine our transaction could have been managed any better.

Great͏ experience! Mark helped us to understand the home sale process. We had been in our home 30 years and while we had maintained our home there were steps that needed to be taken to be prepare our home for sale. Mark informed us about a unique program offered through through Compass Reality the “Compass Concierge”. This program helped us to pay for the updates to our home as well as some moving expenses . Mark oversaw all the repairs and updates to our home. This all helped us to get the very best price for our home sale. We recommend Mark without reservation! He is the best sincerely Priscilla and Gail.

One of the finest, agents in Sonoma county. Knowledgeable, professional from the beginning of listing to the end of the sale. A expert!

Mark helped us this year in selling a lot in Santa Rosa. When he noticed a lull in interest he quickly placed an ad in the real estate section of the paper and sent flyers out to his email list. His persistence did the trick! He responds to questions both from ourselves and potential buyers timely and his honesty and friendliness is refreshing. Mark is the person you need during a stressful real estate transaction. Don’t think twice when it comes to choosing a real estate agent.

Mark's experience and personal approach resulted in the successful sale of my home and equally important to me was the fact that I was completely comfortable with the process [all decisions] from start to finish. My thanks to you Mark and to your wonderful staff.

Mark is very professional, knowledgeable, creative, and thorough. He has the tools to help make the selling and moving process comfortable and stress-free. I enjoyed working with Mark and would highly recommend him for the purchase and or sale of a property.

Mark worked with our agent that lives out of the area and stepped in as a team member. His vast experience and solid guidance allowed us to navigate through some challenges that arose for us while prepping our home. His knowledge and confidence truly helped us sell our home.

Mark is tremendously professional and communicative. We listed our rental property with him, and couldn't be happier. He helped us navigate multiple offers, weighing the pros and cons of all, in addition to looking at the big picture of all of the offers. A++ service, and we will definitely use him again!!

I have worked with Mark several times now, over a period of about 12 years. I’ve already written a glowing review. But I think the thing I like best is that he is just a “good and decent person“. He gives you suggestions about hiring help to transition into your new home. And you can trust that they are also good and decent people. Thank you Mark.

Mark is exceptional. As a first-time home buyer, I was hoping to find an agent that could guide us through the home buying process without influencing our decision one way or another. Mark did just that - he was patient, thorough, impartial, professional, reachable, and enjoyable to be around. To say that he went above and beyond his job description would be an understatement. I would absolutely recommend Mark to anyone looking to buy or sell in Sonoma County.

Mark is an excellent communicator and is very timely when providing advise & recommendations. He's Great at getting the job done.

Mark is the type of realtor that everyone hopes for. Words to describe Mark....professional, personable, knowledgeable, timely, responsive, and kind. I know we are in good hands with Mark on our side. It’s comforting to know that he always has our best interest in mind. Mark welcomed every question we had and left nothing unanswered, nor any boxes unchecked. Mark goes above and beyond, and the entire process of home searching or selling is extremely streamline. When you work with Mark, you really feel like you are part of a cohesive team. Thanks for always being there for us Mark, and for always welcoming us with a smile and positive attitude. You truly are the greatest!
