Description:
"We have had the pleasure of working with Mark Markelz several times over the past few years. First we bought a house with him as our agent, then sold our house, bought a new house and rented a house in between. Each time Mark worked diligently as our agent to complete the transaction and every time it was a very smooth process thanks to Mark. Mark is EXCELLENT with COMMUNICATION; I was always able to get a hold of him quickly through e-mail, phone calls and sms text messages. Mark SOLD our house in January 2010(in a terrible market) in less than 2 weeks. He is excellent at what he does and I can't imagine that there is anyone out there that is better at real estate than Mark Mark continues to assist us today no matter what our needs are including finding me land surveyors as well as top notch general contractors. Thank you for all of your help over the years Mark...we really appreciate it!" Jeff & Lori Miller "Housing crisis? Really? In August of 2009, when we decided to list our house for sale, we were told by friends and family that we were crazy. After all, we were in the midst of difficult economic times with declining wages, declining house values and rising unemployment. The indicators were that there could not be be a worse time to sell our house. The one thing that our friends and family did not factor into this equation was our Realtor, Mark Markelz. Through Mark's diligence and determination, our house SOLD in 2 weeks! His clever marketing, local realty connections and constant communication with us and other parties involved in the process made our experience extremely positive. During our purchase process, we again benefitted from Mark's experience and diligence as he worked tirelessly to help find our present house. Mark's advice during the bidding process, his intial leg-work tracking down new listings and his eternal patience was a huge comfort during an otherwise stressful process. We cannot be more enthusiastic in OUR RECOMMENDATION of Mark Markelz. His experience, his creativity, his organization and his diligence will undoubtedly meet anyone's realty needs. Thanks Mark!" Scott & Kristin Copeland "I chose Mark Markelz to represent me in the home real estate market for the usual right reasons: I had known him for years as a fellow member of my church; I had seen his consistent efforts to advertise properties in the newspaper where I worked; he had clearly developed his career into arenas of increasing responsibility and results. Little did I know, however, that shortly after signing my listing contract with Mark, I would discover even more crucial reasons for selecting him. Within a month of signing the listing with Mark, I learned that I would require cardiac surgery. This sent me out of town to Boston during the crucial spring market. During that time, Mark became the steward of my property. His experience and savvy provided him with an UNCANNY SENSE OF REALITY about the current status of the real estate market. His sense of commitment to his client was a great foundation for his ETHICAL and EFFICIENT handling of the details of the transaction. It was very comforting to work with such a professional person as Mark. Amazingly, during the entire time I was in Boston (4 weeks), I never once spoke with him. He communicated entirely with my son who lives in Boston. In fact, the final deal was carved out and signed off during his interim. I can't do far as to say Mark is a mind reader (no one is!), but he certainly has a realistic handle on how to make things happen in an ever-changing real estate climate." Martha Williams
