When my fiance and I started our home search, we didn't have a realtor. Mainly looking through zillow, we kept getting randomly assigned realtors through that site as we found new homes we wanted to tour. Eventually, as we were getting more serious with the search/considering putting offers down, we decided we needed to pick one moving forward. We didn't pick John because of a quick google search showing his good ratings, we picked him because of our own personal experience with him. He was very detailed/informative while giving us the tour. He didn't sugar coat things; if he saw something that would be an issue/he didn't like, he made it known. Most of the other realtors we partnered with rarely pointed out anything and couldnt seem to answer a lot of the questions we had around the properties we saw with them. It seemed like they were more concerned about making the sale rather than giving their honest opinions, maybe thinking that could lead us to not put an offer down. This was no issue for John, we felt like out of all the realtors we worked with, we could trust John the most. He did a great job pointing out problems we most likely would've missed and was even honest when he didn't like a property we toured by giving his reasons. Over the 1.5 years we ended up working with him, he was very patient with us. Even after we finally closed, he has kept in touch and recommended a contractor we are currently working with now. If it wasn't for John, we would have never seen our home as we were not familiar with the neighborhood at all! He highly recommeded the neighborhood, and it was a great spot for the starter home we wanted within our budget. If you are looking for a realtor(which can be overwhelming with how many are out there), you can feel confident that you'll be in good hands with John as your realtor!!

Working with John was an absolute pleasure. My spouse and I were continuously impressed with Johns professionalism, expertise, and above all, his patience. From the very first conversation, he took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and never made us feel rushed or pressured. John guided us thoughtfully through every step; answering our endless questions, providing honest insights, and helping us weigh our options until we found the perfect home. His communication was exceptional, and he handled every detail with care and confidence. Thanks to John, the entire process felt smooth, supported, and even enjoyable. Were so grateful for his dedication and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in his clients happiness.

Mark is INCREDIBLE. He made my first home buying experience stress free, approachable, and enjoyable! Mark has a wealth of knowledge in every aspect of the home buying process and knows the Baltimore City market like the back of his hand. He took the time to have an initial consultation with me about what to expect (including the daunting loan process), gave me honest feedback about the homes we toured, and was an expert negotiator. The process went so smooth we were able to close one week ahead of schedule. Mark is easy to talk to and a great communicator, always ready to respond to a text, phone call, or email. His excellent customer service continues even after closing, he communicates with the same level of care to recommend movers, locksmiths, handymen, plumbers, and everything in between. I would recommend Mark to first time homebuyers, anyone looking to live in Baltimore City, and anyone interested in owning a row home. Thanks Mark!

Mark was incredible to work with. He was very knowledgeable, communicative, and arguably most importantly, patient! He helped us look at a lot of houses and find the one best for us. I would highly recommend working with Mark.
