I was a complete novice about the home buyng process. More daunting, however, was the fact that I had no idea what type of home I wanted, whether new or used, single family or condo. Over the course of several months, Mark showed me dozens and dozens and dozens of homes, never once becoming impatient over my inability to make a decision as to what home to purchase. With each listing visited, Mark provided expert knowledge of the neighborhood as well as in depth commentary about the quality of the home including resaleable features and construction quality. This information was invaluable especially the construction information as I had no experience with construction so could not distinquish a two-by-four from a four door sedan. In addition, Mark provided excellent references for every aspect of the home buying process, including, but not limited to, mortgage broker, home inspection company, plumber and escrow agent. Each reference was knowledgeable, personable and provided excellent service. In short, despite the stressful nature of buying a home, particularly in this economic climate, Mark made the process as painless as possible. If ever I have need of a realtor again, Mark is my only choice.
