My 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!

We first met Mark in the summer of 2019, during an open house he was holding at our next door neighbours.  Mark was very friendly and we had a great conversation about the housing market, even though he knew we were not looking at buying or selling at that time.  Over the next year he would occasionally stop by to say hi, have a chat and see how we were doing which we greatly appreciated.

Mark had made a great impression on us so we decided to call him up in the fall of 2020 to take a look at some detached houses.  Once we started looking, we knew it was time to move into something more long term. 

Mark used his expertise to help us prepare our house, even coming over to pressure wash our deck and paint a few walls which we absolutely did not expect a realtor to do.  Mark sold our house with over 60 viewings and multiple offers within a few days for well over what we had expected.

After multiple visits to different houses in tow and many hours of discussion and debating, Mark helped us to find our beautiful new detached home in north Georgetown that checked the boxes for our family.  He would also never hesitate to hold the end of the tape measure to size up every room and property to satisfy our attention to details, while we joked that there has never been a realtor who has measured so many rooms in the history of house hunting.

When Mark says that nobody will work harder than he does, he truly means it.  He is kind, caring, compassionate and an extraordinary relator.  What we appreciated most is that Mark become a friend who really took the time to know our family and what we needed.  He was completly honest and would not hesitate to tell us if he felt that a house was not for us or did not meet our needs, which is what you want from a realtor when making such a big life decision.

We highly recommend speaking with Mark if you are looking at selling our buying your home.  Mark is a full time realtor who will work hard to provide you with the best experience possible to make your dreams come true!!  Thank you Mark for all you hard work and we can’t wait to have you over to our new place for a BBQ!

Sincerely, 

Lory & Jamie - Georgetown
 

Mark helped us sell two of our houses to purchase our dream home. His experience and hard work helped us get top dollar for both houses and find our home. Mark's work ethic is second to none, he makes you feel like you're his only client and truly wants the best for you. His experience made us feel very comfortable and helped us stand out against the competition.

"Mark was THE GREATEST realtor for my husband and I as first timebuyers!  It was a long journey, lots of noes from me (sorry Mark haha) and he ALWAYS kept positive, helping us with every possible aspect. If you're looking for a realtor that is actually involved and doesn’t just see you as his next sale... YOU'VE FOUND HIM!!!

Thank you Mark for your patience with us and doing an excellent job!"
