About DAVID MARKS

The way David Marks sees it, in the world of real estate -- knowledge is power. Pairing responsive, transparent communication with unrivaled market insight, David helps every client find the right solution for their distinct lifestyle. David has long been been drawn to real estate. With 9 years of commercial industry experience managing properties and a penchant for home improvement projects, it was only a matter of time before David found his place on the residential side of the business. He officially made the move in 2012 and hasn't looked back. Today, David is a dedicated agent on the Seattle scene who's built a reputation as the Realtor clients can always count on. Known for his informative, full-service style and vast expertise, David goes above and beyond to be there for his clients every step of the way -- whether they're relocating to a new area or seeking more space to accommodate their growing family. David recognizes that just like the homes he sells, no two clients are alike. That's why he takes the time to get to know the people at the heart of each transaction, so he never designs the same experience twice. Well-versed on the ins and outs of construction, David offers the perspective his clients need to reconcile any repair's cost with its potential return down the line. This is critically important when preparing a home for sale. He's also a proven estate deal expert, overseeing the vast array of services associated with this nuanced type of transaction -- from hiring vendors, assessing and managing improvements, to executing the sale. A Seattle resident of 40+ years, David has a local knowledge base that knows no bounds. His own personal experience exploring the area over that time is only bolstered by the many years he spent selling to grocery stores and shops across the Seattle/Bellevue region as owner of his own wine distribution business. The bottom line? No matter where your home search or sale takes you, you'll always find your way with David. When he's not working for his clients, you can find David playing tennis or golf, traveling abroad, sampling good food and wine, and spending time with his wife and 10 year old daughter.

Dan was absolutely lovely to work with - very responsive and available to answer and questions we had. He was incredibly helpful in weighing the pros and cons of different elements of a home or neighborhood to help us feel confident in our decision. Couldn't recommend working with him enough!

We had a wonderful experience working with David when we bought our home. He was incredibly helpful and always quick to respond whether it was a call or a message, even in the evenings when he was with his family. He truly listens, is patient, and remains humble throughout the process. His professionalism and kindness made everything so much easier for us. Were very happy with his service and would gladly recommend him to others looking for a great real estate agent.

Heather was exceptional from start to finish. She has knowledge of the area and advised us how to prepare the house for sale, time the listing, and created a compelling listing. We received 9 offers, and the house sold for well over asking price. We will work with Heather again if we buy or sell.

David did a nice job helping me buy my condo in downtown Seattle. While I was focused on one building, he encouraged me to at least look at comparable placesaEUR"good advice that gave me perspective. Over the course of a month or more, David built a genuine relationship with the sellers agent. We werent in a rush to make an offer, and that patience paid off. When it came time to negotiate, it was a down-to-earth, person-to-person conversation between David and the sellers agentaEUR"something that left both the seller and I feeling the outcome worked for both of us. This was a refreshing change from other realtors Ive worked with, who often made me feel pressured and kept me at arms length from the other side. In those cases, I sometimes felt the realtor was more focused on their own interests than mine. Not the case with David. Every time I thanked him, his response was the same: aEURoeOf course.aEUR?
