Very knowledgeable about the market. Protects buyer through all phases of buying process. Answers whatever questions arise and if the question could not be answered, provided other resources to achieve the answer. Overall a great experience to work with and highly recommended.
I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Mark Thorngren on three real estate transactions within the last 10 months and I can honestly say that each transaction has been exceptional in every way. Mark has a wealth of experience and brings his enthusiasm, professionalism and market knowledge to each aspect of closing a real estate transaction. He is savvy, dedicated and an overall amazing person who embodies an above and beyond mind set when it comes to helping his clients, whether you are selling or buying a home. When you work with Mark you are in very capable hands from start to finish and beyond! I would give mark 10 stars if that were an option!
Mark is a wonderful agent! We were nervous going into the purchase process as it was our first time. He walked us through the whole thing and we never felt any stress. I would certainly recommend Mark to anyone who needs his services.
Mark has the patience of a saint! It had been a very long time since I had sold or purchased a home and I needed a lot of hand holding and guidance. My property was in need of some TCL and deferred maintenance. Mark was able to provide direction as to which elements I should correct to get the greatest return on my investment. He also helped me strategize regarding market valve, open house options and every little detail necessary to get the property into escrow. He is very detail oriented, has excellent follow through on projects and always returns phone calls. Additionally, he has the ability to diffuse delicate situations, and somehow always knows just the right thing to say to set your mind at ease. He will keep you updated on important developments and shield you from unnecessary anxiety provoking issues. Mark is also very thorough, keeps copious notes, and has a great support team at Realty One! I could not have asked for more. Mark is a true gem and he is a pleasure to work with, he will take care of all the details and deliver on his commitment to either sell your home, help you find a home or both...like he did for me! Miraculously, with Mark's savvy real estate skills, I was able to sell a home and buy a home with both transactions closing on the same day. AMAZING accomplishment and I couldn't have done it without Mark's unwavering commitment and dedication. I knew he always had my best interests at heart. I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone and everyone interested in buying or selling a home.
From the start, Mark was easy to work with, straightforward, communicative and ready, willing and able to walk me through every step of the listing and selling process. He referred and assembled a skilled group of vendors who prepared the home to be listed and even in this tough market, Mark was able to attract a qualified buyer making the entire experience a pain-free one. I would highly recommend his services to anyone considering buying or selling a home in the area.
I had the pleasure of working with Mark Thorngren for the second time. Together we completed a complex home purchase in Camarillo. His reassurance, excellent communication, and extensive knowledge throughout the process made all of the difference. This sale/purchase had a lot of moving parts which Mark and his team handled with total care and confidence. Mark's kindness and decency as a person were truly appreciated. As a bonus he always sends out market information, e-greeting cards on holidays and some little gift (the brownies were the best) around the anniversary of our house purchase. It’s just nice to know that Mark truly cares. I look forward to working with him again in the future.
Mark knew all about the home. The park that I now live in. Who to call when things we not happening. He made it happen and supported me the entire time. Good honest man.
It was pleasant working with Mark. His knowkedge made things easier. He explained the process and things turned out great. We love our home!
Buying a house in California has always been a dream of ours. We are recently engaged and weren’t sure that it would be possible for us in this current market. Luckily, we had Mark to help us. His experience and honesty are immeasurable. We had done all the research- everything we could google or read on reddit forum posts. We weren’t coming in blind, but we needed someone that we could trust to help with the parts that you can’t search online for. Plus, the landscape of regulations in California is constantly changing. It was so important that we had Mark on our side to navigate the experience. From the start, Mark was ready to discuss our options. He listened to our wish list and gave us some advice. He wasn’t pushy; he respected when we had small differences in opinion. But for the most part, we were on the same page as him organically. We chose a lender based on our personal opinions, and it turned out that unfortunately they became completely unresponsive during the process. We regret not picking one of Mark’s preferred lenders in hindsight. Nevertheless, Mark was steadfast and resilient. He worked with the lender we had selected despite their shortcomings. When we couldn’t get ahold of our lender to ask questions, Mark didn’t give up. At one point he facilitated them finally calling us back. He was completely professional and navigated all of the extra work and headache that it caused. We are so grateful- we could have lost this perfect home if he had not fought so hard to keep our lender involved. The process for us was so easy! We feel like we made the decisions while Mark did all the hard parts. He is passionate and truly cares about your buying experience. We are so grateful for the experience and whole-heartedly recommend Mark Thorngren for any real estate needs.
Mark was unfortunately tossed into a situation where a family member passed away and ultimately the home was forced off the market for three months. Combine that with a rapidly-deteriorating market and you would have expected doom. At no time during this process did he have anything but optimism that things were going to turn out great - to the benefit of my sister who would be the beneficiary of the home sale. Add in that all family members supporting the situation were hundreds of miles away, Mark took on things that weren't expected of him - primarily resulting from his long-term relationship with the owners. It came across as a genuine commitment to do the right thing. While this may not be something that would repeat in a normal sale - it does show his dedication to the sales process. He regularly kept me informed of the market conditions and we were able to quickly adapt to them - which resulted in a good offer with a pre-qualified loan. While you might assume this could have been luck - but my belief is that is was a result of responding quickly to the conditions and adapting to them. The net result was a transaction that closed ahead of schedule and a bad situation that turned into a great one. I would use Mark again if the opportunity ever arose.
Mark did a great job selling my mobile home. He went above and beyond for me. I don’t live in Camarillo and he took care of everything so I wouldn’t have to make the trip. I don’t know what I would have done with out him. He handled everything for me efficiently and kept me informed. He is the best and I highly recommend him!
Mark is extremely knowledgeable as an agent and made the entire transaction process seamless. His attention to detail and transparency throughout the buying process was wonderful.
