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 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!!

We would highly recommend using Mark Douglas for your Real Estate needs.  We had a condo as a second home and after retiring we no longer required it as it was close to work. Unfortunately, while we were on vacation the condo suffered some damage.  The renovation process was tedious and difficult as we were long distance.  Mark assisted us by making himself available to be our eyes and hands on the ground with the contractors.  Once it was back in shape he explained the process and delivered on all metrics ahead of schedule.  I was so pleased as he walked us through the closing process and eliminated all our stress.  Thanks again Mark!

October 7 was the first official meeting with a Real Estate Agent and a close friend to put a plan in place!

After a whirlwind getting the house ready to sell, the house went on the market on November 5 and to my surprise the house sold on November 8!

I lost the house I thought was my dream home in a bidding war, yet when I moved in to my new home on January 7 I realized it was perfect and I fell in love with it!!

I can’t thank Mark enough for stepping in as a Real Estate agent and a friend to ensure a difficult process could go as seamlessly as possible! Hours were spent getting the house ready, but I followed the plan and it all got done! His help was endless and his attention to detail and expertise went a long way to give me confidence in the process!

Mark,


Thank you so much for helping me sell my home. From the first time I met you, you said you would work harder than anyone and always tell me the truth. You came through on both accounts and I am forever grateful.

Being a single woman the mere thought of getting my home packed and ready for sale was overwhelming. You were exceptional in providing the help I needed from rolling up your sleeves and personally helping me with the decluttering, storage and bringing in the most amazing stagers and cleaner to assist and many other tasks. You went above and beyond anything I ever expected.


I was ecstatic with the results and the quick sale of my home. You have made every step of this daunting process easy and were always there to answer my questions or provide the labour needed.


I would and have recommended you to anyone selling or thinking about selling their home. I have truly enjoyed working with you. You certainly get a 5 out of 5 rating from me!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

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,

I recently used Mark as my realtor.  I have never had anyone who made selling my house as easy as Mark did.  He helped me every step of the way and everything he promised to do he did, and more. Mark spent many hours of his own time and money preparing my place for sale. I had to do very little except pack up my personal items. He answered any questions or concerns immediately and put my mind at ease.

If you want someone who is trustworthy, professional and who treats you not only like a client but as a friend,  then Mark is who you are looking for to help sell your house.

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!

When my brother passed away suddenly this year and I was charged with the onerous undertaking of being the executor of his estate, I was basically overwhelmed by the magnitude of the job at hand.  My brother's principle asset was his home which was not in very good shape so without any delay, I set about the daunting task of clearing out the place of all his belongings and furnishings.  The home was in desperate need of a good cleaning as well as some sprucing up.  This is where I first met Mark.  I had some references for real estate agents and interviewed some with the idea of hiring the best one for the job.  Mark brought a unique approach to the listing and sale by offering to participate in overseeing the cleaning and painting of the home.  What a huge benefit this was to me as I live in Quebec, not Mississauga where my brother's home is located.

Mark did a spectacular job of seeing to it that the home was returned to like-new state and assisted me with getting set up with fully electronic communications so that I wouldn't have to come to Mississauga every time there was an offer that required signatures or wait for courier or mail deliveries of these important documents.  We established good lines of communication and before the home was even listed, Mark was informing me of parties interested in making an offer once it was listed.  A couple of these potential offers fell through due to the requirement to obtain probate of my brother's will and the potential for a 3-6 month delay in that process prior to any buyer taking possession.  We finally listed the place and received a conditional offer almost immediately.  Working closely with Mark, we managed to obtain the documentation and other requirements detailed in the buyer's offer to purchase and with the okay from the courts, the offer to purchase was finalized.

Mark did an extraordinary job of helping me through this very difficult period and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.  He is a very honest, hard-working and competent individual who is a consummate professional and very nice guy.

Yours truly,

Gord

Mark is an extremely patient and attentive Real Estate Agent.  Mark helped me purchase an investment property and then looked after finding a tenant for it.  He went over and above trying to ensure I got the right tenant.  He listed the lease on MLS, ran ads on social media and then screened them all.  Checking references, credit scores, whether they had pets or were smokers, etc.  Mark made this a really easy process for me as I'm an extremely busy professional and did not have to worry about these details, Mark did all the leg work.

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!

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.

Mark works hard to maintain a high level of customer service and is very attentive to his client's needs.  A year ago I began planning to get into the housing market and as a first time home buyer on my own, I didn't know anything about it except how expensive it was. Mark was eager to help me out and answer any questions I had. He also knew the right people who would go on to help me secure a mortgage at a good rate and deal with the legal side of things. He was happy to go out of his way to meet and show me places at any hour of the day. When I finally found something that worked for me, he was excellent in handling all the communication and always looked out for my best interests. I've learned a lot about investing in real estate in the last year, and look forward to working with Mark again in the future when I'm in the market for a second property.  Derek - Toronto

"We would like to say a huge Thank You to Mark Douglas for representing us on the recent sale of our property. Mark is truly exceptional at his job and enjoyment of his work is evident. We have known Mark for a long time, but had lost touch. We are so glad that we reconnected and that he was willing to represent us.

We were impressed with the detail, knowledge and research Mark had about our area and the volatile market in which we listed. Mark was on top of things; advising on pricing, listing details and what strategies might or might not work in order to sell our home in a timely manner.

Mark was available whenever we had any questions or concerns. He always responded quickly, answering us and really listening to all that we had to say. He always remained calm and professional, yet was compassionate, kind and mindful of our family’s unique needs.

The marketing of our home, which Mark did, was beyond fantastic. The photos and video tour were amazing! His handouts and internet tools were among the best we’ve ever seen. Mark is such a great communicator. He always touched base with the buyer’s agents, both before and after they came for a house walk-through (showing). This process shared tons of useful information to the buyer’s and to us, which helped immensely.

Mark truly went ‘above and beyond’. We are disappointed that we could not use him as our purchasing agent as well, but we are moving out of the GTA/Central Ontario region. Be assured, if we ever move back, we would call Mark first.

We recommend Mark Douglas to anyone looking to buy or sell their real estate holdings.

We can’t thank you enough Mark!!

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

The thing that sets Mark Douglas apart is his attention to detail.  From the first meeting to discuss strategy to our move out day, it was this attention to detail that allowed us to leave our home of 23 years on a positive note.  Mark's "work back plan" gave us the deadlines we needed to push to the finish. All of the professional referrals he made were outstanding, including Maureen and Bea the stagers.  He was perceptive and knew when to offer to lighten the load by taking care of small items on our to-do list himself when the stress levels were getting too high.  The marketing materials, video, brochures, postcards for the neighbours, etc were very professionally done.  It was these small things that together sold our home.  We would not hesitate to recommend Mark to our family and friends. We couldn't be more thankful.   Jim & Rosslyn - Georgetown

A young couple with busy careers, we were putting up with a Condo that was too small and too far from the office, family, and friends. Before we found Mark our approach to moving out was based on scanning the usual websites and calling up landlords directly. The results just weren’t comparable at all - Mark’s deep knowledge of the market, skills as a negotiator, and use of cutting edge tools like Collab made us feel confident that we were getting a complete view of what’s out there for us in Toronto. Agreeing on our top picks became the most difficult part of the whole thing. He was available whenever we needed him, completely understanding of our needs, and truly on our side in this. Mark took all the stress out of house hunting and made it an enjoyable experience. Most importantly we couldn’t be happier with our new place! We highly recommend Mark Douglas and his team, 5/5 stars.

SOLD! My Dad’s house sold after only 5 days on the market. What is typically an incredibly stressful time in one’s life was made easier than I could have wished for. Mark Douglas Realtor’s professionalism, compassion, patience and expertise got the job done and my family could not be more thankful to him for the care he took with Dad. Mark went above and beyond with the small details and top-notch communication throughout the entire process also kept stress levels down!


Thank you Mark! We are so appreciative and forever grateful to you for being a part of this transition with us.

It is our immense pleasure to recommend Mark Douglas as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home for their unique situation. We were comfortable in our three-bedroom condo until we realized our kids were getting older and needed more space. We needed a larger home with a yard and fast!

We were quite skeptic about selecting an agent after our horrible experiences in the past with other real estate agents. Mark quickly alleviated that fear after he had an initial meeting with us. He was well prepared with a power point presentation of our current property and took diligent notes regarding our specific needs in a single family home as well as our budgetary limitations.

Mark was honest about some minor changes that we needed to make in our condo to attract buyers quickly, and his advice worked like a charm. He had a work back calendar in place for doing all the work around our condo. He worked hard with us to have our place ready for sale.

Mark helped us find the most perfect house for our family. A master with the contract negotiations, he came up with a deal that was good for us and made the seller happy as well. Throughout this home buying process, he also managed to sell our condo for an excellent price, especially in the current market situation. Our condo was sold in less than 20 days!

We found Mark to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were his only customers, although we know that was not the case. He returned all phone calls, texts, emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. He is also highly personable with an engaging personality. Mark focusses on building a relationship with his clients. He gave us the best suggestions and advice to help us every step of the way. Even after we moved into our new place, he ensured that everything in the new house was as agreed upon. Mark has very strong work ethics, he is culturally sensitive, extremely knowledgeable and professional. I have to mention that the team that Mark works with, from the mortgage broker, the lawyers, cleaners, stagers, painters all work the same way as Mark.

We are pleased to recommend Mark Douglas to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is hands down the best in the business in our opinion and if we ever need to move again he will be our first and only choice in real estate agents.

We met Mark at one of the open houses we went to, and although we had three great recommendations from friends for local realtors, we decided to go with Mark instead. He was honest and upfront right away and presented us with great information so we could make informed decisions that suited us.

Mark made it look effortless to go above and beyond to help two first time home-buyers figure out all the steps at our own pace. He made sure we not only found the right place but that any minor issues were sorted out to make our transition easy. He was informative, easy to work with and could even match my wit. We highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a Realtor.  Nari & Trish, Mississauga

Mark was recommended to us by a good friend. We are seniors looking to move to a much smaller place. We had to do a lot of downsizing, donating and discarding many of our "treasures". With a great deal of patience and quiet perseverance, Mark led us through the process of getting our house ready to show. His attention to detail is amazing and his willingness to help us was so appreciated. He even changed out lightbulbs, shopped for new bathroom mirrors and replaced a ceiling light fixture. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him. He gave us great advice from beginning to end and helped us to get more for our house than we ever imagined.

Thank you Mark for making it almost easy for us to sell our home.

With the recent decision for us to retire, we were faced with the reality of needing to move for various reasons.   Prior to choosing an agent, some of our concerns were as follows:  Does our place show well? Is the agent truly representing us and our goals? Will the agent actively market and ‘sell’ our place or try to dump it quickly at the lowest price? How much information can we confide in our agent? What is the best course of action to maximize our equity?

We set out to hire an agent.  We interviewed a couple; one of which was Mark Douglas.   We felt him to be very personable and immediately felt comfortable with him.  It was the intangibles.  Hard to explain, but we felt Mark was focused on representing our best interests.  He quickly eased any and all concerns we had.   We both trusted Mark right from the beginning.  He spent time with us going through comparable homes for sale, reviewing the market conditions when we interviewed Mark as well again just prior to going live on the MLS.

From the beginning, Mark was punctual, kept all appointments and was on time.  Just once delayed, he let us know ahead of time he would be 5 or 10 minutes late.  We never worried about Mark showing up when he said he would, he always kept his commitments.

Without a doubt, we decided to hire Mark as our agent to list our home.  We now had a lot of other things to do to get it ready.   Mark prepared a physical “Work-Back Calendar” which laid out a timeline of the various aspects of preparation all parties had to do before going on the MLS.   This broke it down and took away the anxieties we had to complete a lot of work in a shorter amount of time.  We knew that de-cluttering excess furniture and belongings were key to fulfill Mark’s promise to have our home “Magazine Ready”. Mark, with the aide of a stager, identified what items of furniture could stay and what needed to leave so that they could stage our home to maximize the selling price.  We were resistant to painting our living & dining room, but Mark arranged to have those rooms repainted at no cost to us.  The repainting made a huge difference in the brightness of our main living area and suited the look the stager was trying to attain.  Mark personally helped move furniture out of our home when the stager brought in her furniture.  Mark also helped hang a mirror, install a towel bar, change a faucet and Install a Dining Room light, all to help get our home ready for sale.  We cannot emphasize enough, the amount of work Mark did to help us prepare to list and show our home for sale.

In preparing our home for the market, two other identical homes to ours were listed.  Both of these homes had updated kitchens and bathrooms, which we hadn’t yet.  However, when it came to deciding list price the day before going live on the MLS, Mark focused on the advantages our home had as selling points to justify asking the same price as the two homes that had just sold.   

Mark embarked on multiple marketing campaigns in our area, calling to advise them that a 3 bedroom home would be coming onto the market shortly and invite them to the open house on Saturday and Sunday.  He made up flyers which he personally deposited at each door promoting the two open houses.

Of 4 comparable homes sold within the last three months, the other 3 had updated kitchens and bathrooms.  We hadn’t updated ours as yet.  So on the surface, most would believe that the selling price for our home would be considerably lower.  However, Mark sold our home based on the advantages of our home.  As to our selling price, it was the second highest of the four homes sold within the past 90 days.

Prior to receiving an offer for our unit, Mark was strategic with his plan and conversations with the buying agent in order to best represent us.  The offer came in and although in our range, Mark advised us it wasn’t close enough to what we should accept.  Many real estate agents would have recommended a counter offer closer to the buyer’s offer, but Mark was acting on our behalf to ensure the most for our home.  Through negotiation, Mark was able to negotiate 99.4% of asking price in a tougher market and on the 1st day of showings!   Our neighbour’s home was priced the same as ours but took 26 days and a price reduction to get it to sell after ours.  

We would definitely recommend Mark Douglas to represent them.  He delivered on everything in his Listing Presentation and promises made from the time we met until after the sale of our home.  He is diligent and completely trustworthy.  

Sincerely,

John & Kathy, Mississauga

On 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.

Mark was a pleasure to work with from a tenant's perspective.  As a property manager, he was very personable, professional, and prompt when it came to any and all matters that arose from our time under his client's tenancy.  Mark took no more than a few hours to get back to us on any occasion and had any issues dealt with in a timely manner.  He was very flexible when it came to organising times to meet and truly cared about any issues we had as tenants.  He even went out of his way to wish us a happy birthday when those days came around.

We would highly recommend Mark as a property manager for any prospective landlord.  His guidance and fairness in landlord-tenant relations were refreshing and more than welcomed.

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.

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!

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
