TESTIMONIALS
I recently listed my condo for sale with Mark. Prior to listing, we met to go through a helpful analysis of the current market and he gave me a detailed and comprehensive approach to the listing and sale process.
I was originally hesitant in approaching the currently turbulent real estate market, but Mark was very level-headed and gave very helpful insights and tips throughout the process. I was particularly impressed by his knowledge of the local community, experience with clients and other agents, as well as the real estate marketing materials produced, including: photos, video and printed materials.
To my surprise and delight, my home sold after a short time on market. Mark has been very professional, transparent and communicative through the entire process.
I really appreciate his expertise in the field, and his personal approach to the business.

My wife and I decided we wanted to sell our Condo and were looking for a quick sell due to new employment outside of the country. We were made aware of Mark's extremely high reputation due to several units in our Condo building selling within days of the listing. We setup an appointment to meet Mark and he understood our situation we were encountering and he made us feel very at ease with his professionalism and knowledge.
Mark was patient, understanding, knowledgeable and we honestly could have never made a better choice in choosing Mark to sell our home. He knew the ins and outs of our building, the history, and was able to make many useful recommendations to assist in our process along the way.
His patience was the most recognizable attribute because we felt we didn't have much time before we needed to move, and he made the actual process so much less stressful due to the amount of work he did for us. He made arrangements to help us stage our home, move and store furniture, and actually helped us take furniture out of our home to clean things up during the staging process.
We could not have been happier and can actually say that we've never had an agent like Mark in our lives. The listing price of our home was actually higher than what we expected on top of things. Mark sold our home in less than two days for almost 100K over the asking price so to say we were delighted is an understatement.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Mark and if you are looking to sell your home or find one, look no further. I can promise you that you will not be disappointed. Not only will you get an agent looking out for your best interests, I believe we made a life-long friend.
From the bottom of our hearts, thanks Mark.

I have known Mark for more than 30 years, and have always found him to
be professional, friendly and extremely competent. I have been working
somewhat loosely with him over the last two years as I contemplated
selling my current home and buying something smaller.
Things came to a head very suddenly in the second week of January when,
through Mark, I made an offer on a condominium. He walked me through
all the negotiations and paperwork, leading to a most satisfactory outcome.
However, that meant that I had to really scramble to get my house ready
to be listed as soon as possible. I had three weeks before it was going on
the market. At this point Mark truly went far above and beyond what any
real estate agent has ever done in my experience. Not only did he arrange
for a container to store my goods and furnishings in, he arranged for very
talented stagers to come in and set the tone for maximum impact, he was
with me every step of the way.
His knowledge of the real estate market in these volatile times and his
help and encouragement were instrumental in me getting my home sold
quickly and over the asking price. I can’t recommend Mark highly enough.
Thank you Mark!!

Kathleen BroughtonOn November 25, 2021, my mother moved into a retirement residence in Georgetown. She is 93 and had lived in the family home on Hurontario Street in Brampton (Snelgrove) since 1953. I engaged Mark Douglas of RE/MAX to list the property although at that time I did not know Mark. He had been recommended by my sister-in-law Ruth who retained Mark to sell her mother's house and was quite happy with his efforts. Mark had done an extensive evaluation of my mother's property in February 2021 at his own expense and with no expectation of being the listing agent for any future sale.
After my mother moved, our family spent the next several days clearing out the house and preparing it for sale. The house was listed on the MLS and in just two days there were over 30 showings, all facilitated by Mark. With ten offers and after negotiations, an offer was accepted which was considerably higher than the asking price. I want to emphasize that Mark had provided considerable guidance during this process. However, his efforts did not end there.
I am not a tech-savvy person and Mark was able to walk me through the various legal documents online. He was also able to retain a lawyer to facilitate our side of the sale. When it came time for my mother to sign the final documents Mark was able to set up a virtual meeting at my mother's retirement residence and meet with us to ensure all technology was working and we understood how to sign the documents online.
With a 3-week closing date during the Christmas holidays, Mark followed up on every matter from beginning to end including making sure the buyer's lawyer was making contact with our lawyer. When Mark found out just a week before closing they hadn't retained a lawyer yet. Mark was able to get the other side moving on their end. Just days prior to closing, the buyer requested a new closing date several weeks away which was rejected. On the closing day, the buyer made another request for an extension due to the funds not being available. We agreed to such and by 5:30pm the next day the sale was complete.
Through all of this Mark maintained contact with me constantly by email, text messages, and phone calls. He also maintained contact with our lawyer as well as people on the buyer's side. I was thoroughly impressed with his ability to navigate the sale of my mother's house and I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark to anyone wishing to sell their property. Thank you.

Little did I know, when we received a calendar at our door, that we'd be selling our home three years later. This was Mark's introduction to my husband and I. On receiving that calendar, I emailed Mark to state that we weren't ready to sell but would be considering in the future. Mark stayed in touch with emails about the current market, hints on how to prepare for sale, and the like.
The time came to sell. We invited Mark to come over. I had mentioned that we would also be talking to other realtors. Mark provided a comparative market analysis, an outline of what to expect when selling with him, area homes that had recently sold and ones currently for sale. Being a full-time realtor, he devotes his time and energy full-heartedly into his business.
Mark was professional, thorough, a good listener and not 'pushy' at all. He came across as someone we could trust. We decided there and then to work with Mark and dismissed the idea of consulting with other realtors.
Mark worked so hard for us. Following our meeting, he began planning. He arranged stagers, a painter and a photographer. The stagers were efficient and prepared a lengthy list of the changes (additions and removals) that needed doing to give our home an updated and 'airy' look.
He continued on with preparations. Mark did so much to help us out. He caulked around doors, painted pot light housings, revived our Jacuzzi tub, hung new light fixtures and even brought over his son to move much of the heavy furniture to the garage!
A fabulous virtual tour was created and went up with the listing. We sold the next day, much above the asking price. We were thrilled!
Mark is a truly upstanding gentleman who goes above and beyond in every way! He was with us from beginning to end.
Should you be considering buying or selling, you need not look further, you can trust Mark.
Thank you for everything Mark!

I first met Mark Douglas a few years ago at an open house. Since then he kept in touch with me even though I had no concrete plans to buy or sell. Our next meeting was in 2017 for a Comparative Market Analysis. I mentioned during this meeting that I might be interested in an investment property. In 2020, Mark approached me with a property he thought I might be interested in investing. He was right, I got my first investment property through Mark in 2020. He took the time to know my needs and zeroed in. He has since managed this property. His interaction with the tenants to taking care of the tenants' needs has been excellent. Mark has been an excellent property manager. From getting new tenants situated, to resolving minor/major issues, to reconditioning the property between tenants. I have been very happy with his service. He is always on top of everything, he is efficient and personable, very professional.
I am a 71 year old widow. All my real estate needs have been conducted by myself. With Mark I have never felt overwhelmed. He is astute and recognizes my strenghts and my weaknesses. He is always available, always happy to assist. He goes the extra mile to make things easy for me as well as supported my technology challenges without missing a beat :)
Very recently, I bought a condo through Mark, once again it went very smoothly. His eye for detail such as a little grout missing on the backsplash, to the best offer to make and everything in between went well as expected from a professional like Mark Douglas.
Also in the same week, Mark listed and sold my house. He treats a listing like it is his own house he is selling. His team is A+. Mark was involved personally in preparing the house for the market. From small to big repairs, realizing his own vision for the property with no effort spared. My house sold on the first day on the market for over ask at 106%. Mark has strong negotiating skills.
Mark delivered on my every expectation. It is my pleasure to recommend him for your real estate needs. He never disappoints and is always readily available to respond to any questions or concerns.
Yours sincerely,

If you are looking for a true professional to buy or sell a home, look no further than Mark Douglas at RE/MAX Professionals.
From the moment we met many months ago, I knew he was exactly what we needed. His knowledge and experience helped guide us through what can be a very stressful and emotional time. As homeowners that have lived in the same house for almost 35 years, real estate was a world we were so unfamiliar with.
Mark made so many suggestions, that we wouldn't have thought of on our own, to maximize the potential value of our home. He has an amazing group of stagers, photographers, cleaner, etc that were able to really showcase our home so it would stand out from the rest.
Listening to his expertise was the best thing we've ever done as we ended up selling our home in 4 days for well above asking price.
Mark went out of his way, on too many occasions to count, to ensure the process went as smoothly as possible. He was always extremely responsive to our texts, emails and phone calls. He walked us through what can be a very daunting process with patience and kindness.
Do not hesitate to give him a call to discuss your real estate needs. You won't be disappointed!

Wendy AquinoMy Dad was admitted into a long-term care home in April. Since I’m the POA, I decided to sell Dad’s house, which he had been living in since August 1964.
Selling Dad’s house was made a lot easier by hiring Mark Douglas, who was referred to me by my brother John. Mark had our family documents checked by a lawyer at no charge. Mark arranged to have the house cleaned, photographed and a virtual video made.
The house, a Scarborough bungalow with a detached 2 car garage, was put on the market and sold quickly. Mark fought to get us the price we wanted for it and succeeded in getting it.
Along the way, we got to see spreadsheets that Mark made with feedback and real-time comparables as the few days went on, which were very helpful.
Thanks, Mark - Ann Stamp - Scarborough
We have many friends that are Real Estate agents and the task to choose one was daunting. We had reached out to Mark to ask a couple of questions regarding our home and his professional opinion on what upgrades and repairs we should do. To tell you the truth we were embarrassed about parts of our house and daunted by what we needed to do to fix it. Mark did not pass judgement but professionally and compassionately gave us his opinion on what we should do to get the most profit. Right away we were at ease with him and the decision made.
Now to tell you why you should have Mark sell your house!
He goes above and beyond, and I mean beyond!
He is professional and follows the laws and rules of real estate.
He is informative and nothing was left uncovered, Ask him anything! if he doesn't know, he will find out!
He advertises and uses every tool there is out there to get your house sold!
He always has a smile, and sometimes a corny joke!
He listens!
He got us a great price for our home! I don't even know if he sleeps!
We would totally recommend Mark Douglas! and are pleased to say he is our friend!

My husband and i took on the daunting task of buying and selling property in the midst of a global pandemic. It was a scary and stressful journey, but we were so glad we chose Mark to help guide us through the process. Mark's experience, knowledge and understanding of market trends set us up for success.
Mark was patient while we looked at countless properties and took the time to walk us through the comparables of previous and current listings. It even became a bit of a friendly competition to guess the final sale price of listed properties, needless to say, Mark typically won. Mark made himself available to answer our endless questions and put the time in behind the scenes to ensure we were comfortable every step of the way. We were not surprised that he was able to successfully secured us our forever home below the asking price.
Mark helped guide us through the process of home renovations, decluttering, organizing and staging. He was even willing to spend his time helping paint walls and doing other tasks around the house. We were very impressed with the final presentation of our home and were beyond delighted with the selling price $80k over asking.
Even after the papers have been signed, Mark continues to support us in preparation for our big move and we can't say thank you enough.
If you are debating hiring Mark to represent you and your family, stop debating it and hire him!
