Steven. T. Parker
"Over the years, I have dealt with a number of real estate agents. Some were good and some not so good. However, the experience of dealing with Liisa and Mark takes things to a whole new level. They were outstanding in every respect. They did everything they said they would do and more. From creating the listing and pricing that made sense, not usual games "oh we'll price it low to get multiple bids or price it high so we can discount it". No, they priced exactly right and sold it very close to the asking price. They sold in less than 30 days in a tough market. No hassle when it came to negotiating. They handled it perfectly.

They kept me right up to date on showings, gave immediate feedback and executed their strategy flawlessly.

They truly are professionals, and I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them."

David and Jackie Counsell, Sharon, ON
"We’ve known Mark since he represented the seller of the home we purchased twelve years ago. Mark is a consummate business professional and we’ve never forgotten his ability to negotiate with honesty and integrity. When it came time for us to sell the same home, Mark – joined by his wife Liisa – presented us with solid market data and helped us to determine the right and fair price.

We sold our home in 9 days and at 99.5% of our asking price! We’ve learned that even in questionable market times, preparing and pricing your home fairly is essential. Forget the over-valued promises folks. Be realistic about your expectations and seek the advice of experts like Mark and Liisa who have been around your area and know the facts.

We would highly recommend Mark or Liisa to any client – we’re so pleased with both of their efforts and their results. They’re worth every penny."

Victor Hogue and Louise Bradette, Queensville
"Louise and I wanted to express our sincere appreciation for a job well done. You sold our home in the time frame committed and within the expected selling price. Then you successfully closed the deal for our wonderful new home in Newmarket with our terms and conditions. Whenever we called or emailed, you made us feel as if we were your only clients, which we know was not the case. You always made yourselves available to discuss any questions or issues and all action items were promptly taken care of. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with two wonderful professionals in the real estate business. All personal references forwarded to us for other professional trades have resulted in the same high level of ethical and work standards displayed by you. You can rest assured that we will gladly refer your services to anyone in need of real estate professionals. Thank you for everything you’ve done."

Beverly Plumb, Sharon
"I would like to thank Mark and Liisa for all of your help regarding the sale of my home and the purchase of my new home. I was very impressed with the presentation from Mark when we first met. Mark put in a lot of time and effort into the sale of my home. Mark and Liisa were a great help in my search for a new home. They were very patient with me, answering all of my questions and concerns. I felt very comfortable that I could trust Mark with all of the details of selling my house. Being a single lady on my own, that meant a lot. I would highly recommend Mark and Liisa when it comes to selling or purchasing a property."

Gregg & Lina Tousignant, Newmarket
"It was a pleasure dealing with a true professional! Mark presented a solid marketing plan for our home with specific time lines. He took the time to walk us through the entire process, clearly addressing any questions, comments or concerns. He made selling our home easy and nearly stress free, leaving us with only the nervous excitement you would expect. In the end, on the second day of showing, we had multiple offers and a final result that exceeded our expectations. I would, without hesitation recommend Mark to anyone, buying or selling!"

Colleen Howard and Greg MacNeill, Sharon
"Mark has been our realtor for the past 10 years and has completed many personal and corporate transactions for us in York region. Mark and Liisa’s service and dedication to the real estate practice sets a standard of excellence in the industry that most do not come close to achieving. Mark and Liisa are honest, courteous, dedicated, responsive, accurate, flexible, fair and knowledgeable. They absorb the needs of their clients and take the time and energy to understand what factors they may be working with and adjust their suggestions to best support them. We have referred many of our friends and family who are looking to sell or purchase a home to Mark and Liisa and will continue to do so with the highest degree of comfort in their ability to assist them with their real estate decisions. Mark and Liisa make the process of buying or selling your home a pleasure!"

Angela and Daniel Fuchs, Queensville
"Mark and Liisa have worked beyond our expectations. For over a year, my husband and I contemplated a move from the country to a subdivision setting. Mark and Liisa showed patience and understanding by continually providing us with market information and showing us listings that met our criteria and needs. At the right time for us, Mark and Liisa listed our house and sold it within three weeks time at 99% asking price in a time that traditionally shows little movement. Mark and Liisa have proven to be honest, enthusiastic agents with exceptional knowledge, good sound advice and a great sense of humour. We have always been impressed at how promptly Mark or Liisa returns our many phone calls! We highly recommend them as real estate agents."

Milenko Atkinson and Alyson Murry, Aurora/Newmarket
"Mark has represented us in the purchase and sale of 3 homes this year and I can honestly say that I haven’t met a more dedicated and professional realtor. He turned a less than pleasant task into something that was virtually pain free. His patience, confidence and knowledge of the market was crucial in selling our homes as well as finding what was best for us in the long term. Mark always had our best interests at heart and clearly demonstrated this attitude on more than one occasion. I highly recommend Mark to anyone seriously interested in selling or purchasing a home."

Terry and Mitsuko Kennedy, Sharon
"Mark is an outstanding accomplished agent and is very knowledgeable of the real estate market in Sharon. What impressed us the most was, “he told it like it was”, no exaggerations – just a professional assessment of our house in relation to the market and timely advice on how to approach the market. Our goals were met. The house sold in a week, a job well done. Thanks Mark."

Sasha and Geoff Shore, Newmarket
"We would like to express our sincere gratitude to both you and Liisa on a job well done. You represented our best interests in both transactions by being honest, approachable and patient. This combined with your expert knowledge of the real estate industry made the selling/buying of our homes a much easier and less stressful process than anticipated. We especially appreciated your confidence and guidance when the financial market conditions worsened. Your positive attitude and advice kept us focused on a task at hand and eased our fears. We cannot thank you enough for your hard work and dedication to us. It was a pleasure dealing with true professionals and we will highly recommend you and Liisa to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. We consider ourselves lucky to have had you and Liisa as our real estate agents."

Tom and Christine Rieder, Newmarket
"Thank you for helping us find our new home. Your calm, confident manner helped us make such an important decision. While you were acting for us, we always felt you were “on our side” and negotiating in our best interests. It is so refreshing to find a real estate agent with such integrity and honesty. We would never consider anyone else for real estate decisions now that we have found you!"

Elizabeth Weir, Bradford
"Thanks Mark! I really appreciate everything that you have done during this sale. I can honestly say that I have never had a better real estate experience. If I ever need a real estate agent again, I will absolutely go with you!!! I would not hesitate to recommend you to my friends either! Thanks so much!"

Jeff and Sandy Hillier, Newmarket
"We felt comfortable that Mark had our best interests at heart when looking for our new home. He is honest and hardworking and persevered when we were disheartened. As a result of Mark’s determination and impressive real estate knowledge, we were able to find the home we were looking for. We have already recommended Mark to friends and will continue to do so. Thanks Mark!"

Alexandra and James Brill, Newmarket
"My husband and I had very specific requirements for our second home. Mark was always looking and scouting the neighborhoods that we were interested in living. Mark also sold our home very quickly and got us the highest price for our home. Mark has a great personal approach when dealing with clients and that makes the highly stressful task of selling and buying a home all that much easier."

Jean and Jack Russell, Aurora
"Mark and Liisa represented us in the purchase of our condominium and the sale of our home. With their knowledge and professionalism in the real estate field, they were able to assist us in finding just what we needed and in a much wanted locality. Mark was very encouraging and reliable in the selling of our home without us being stressed to any extent. It was a pleasure to have Mark represent us and we would highly recommend Mark and Liisa to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

Patricia Johnson, Aurora
"Mark represented me in a double transaction of the purchase and sale of my home. He was extremely patient with me and addressed all my concerns with optimism and confidence. With all his experience in real estate he managed to find me the perfect home I was looking for. Thank you Mark for your honesty, hardworking and professional approach."

Barry and Ruth Ruttan, Sharon
"Mark represented us in a double transaction of the purchase and the sale of our home. At all times we felt that he represented our best interest and at no time did we feel pressured to make hasty decisions. Mark displays a high level of professionalism along with energy and enthusiasm in his work."
