I had an outstanding experience working with Mark on buying my single family house. Mark was very professional and led the negotiations with the seller's agent, advising me on reasonable targets. He was very responsive through the entire process, ready to answer questions. Mark is deeply knowledgable in all aspects of home buying so having him to double check my ideas or make suggestions was invaluable. Even after closing Mark is continuing to support me on communicating with sellers as I am transferring the home-technology to my account.
Mark was patient throughout, explaining each step in the process as I was a first-time buyer. He also recommended some local contacts for mortgages, which was helpful. However, I did experience some downsides. I didnt feel he made an effort to negotiate on my behalf, nor did he advise me on how to approach negotiations myselfaEUR"looking back, I believe I could have gotten a better deal. He also encouraged me to accept an offer that ended up being listed months later for over $150K less. He strongly recommended a home warranty that, in my experience, hasnt provided value aEUR" it hasn't covered any of the issues Ive submitted so far. At the end of the process, a fee was introduced that hadnt been previously mentioned. He said it was from his company, but from what I understand, such fees are often discretionary or typically covered by agents rather than customers. After I pushed back, he agreed to cover half, but the way this was handled left me uncertain about his overall approach.
Mark was great from the start. Extremely helpful throughout the entire process - punctual and very easy going. The main positive that stood out to me was the fact that Mark steered me away from properties too expensive and really gave me some good advice on how much money to allocate for a home. This was great because he could have taken a larger % commission selling a more expensive home but really took the time and effort to meet my needs. The honest was greatly appreciated!

Beyond that, Mark's commitment to his clients, genuine nature, and kindness make him someone you immediately know you can trust.

Mark was outstanding to work with, and I cannot recommend him enough! We worked with him to find our first home in San Diego, and throughout our time searching, Mark remained patient and was always available to talk on the phone or text, no matter the question or how much time it took. He is an incredibly kind person, and his personality alone made the house-hunting process that much more comforting and enjoyable. Mark's knowledge of anything home-related created a relationship where we always felt that we could rely on him to help us work through any thought or problem; as a first-time buyer, Mark is simply the type of person you hope to work with when searching for your home.
Mark was an amazing and personable realtor! We bought our first home through him after a few months of searching. He was responsive at all hours of the day and generous with his time. We had a lot of basic questions as this was our first time and he answered them patiently. He also checked in with us gently when we were taking a break from open houses for a bit and was not pushy at all. During negotiations with the seller, he gave us very reasonable advise and after closing, stayed in contact and gave us suggestions for contractors for renovations. He even got us home warranty when we were on the fence! Would recommend especially for first time home buyers!
Mark is a very personable, lovely young man. He talked to me extensively on our first meeting so that he could deliver to me what type of home I would enjoy. He kept in touch while I was waiting for my house to sell and would always let me know he is there for any questions I might have. I thoroughly recommend Mark to you,
Mark was an amazing agent to work with. I highly recommend you seek him out because he was very responsive and knowledgeable. I enjoyed going house-hunting with Mark on the weekends. I am new to California and Mark made it easy to understand any differences in state real estate rules for me.
Mark helped with the process of buying my first home. He is very knowledgeable and communicative. He explained the process and made my buying process very painless. I used his other contacts for loan services as well and I was satisfied.
Mark did an excellent job helping us purchase our manufactured home which is a specialized niche. He hooked us up with all the right people and guided us and coordinated with the seller and lender to make for a very smooth process. Mark is very prompt, attentive and super friendly. It was a pleasure to work with him and get to know him a little. We feel fortunate to have teamed up with Mark.
Mark was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. Communication was 10/10 and he was willing to offer his own personal insight each and every time I asked for it. He kept me filled in on every detail and answered every question I had, or always got back to me in a very reasonable amount of time. I was previously working with another agent for several months before I met Mark. The difference in work ethic was night and day. He was always quick to respond, or would reach out with new information each and every time we spoke. He is genuine, knowledgeable, personable, and very enjoyable to work with. There is not a single negative interaction I have had with Mark. His communication skills are impeccable and definitely what I needed to obtain a new home. I would give my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a Real estate agent to reach out to him and discuss your options and let him develop a plan around you. Thank you!

This our 2nd property that we bought in 13 months using Mark Frattini in San Diego County. We were able to get a property 50K below the asking price. He is understands with our goals, very knowledgeable when it comes to property investment, and who works hard. Very Honest real estate agent.
Mark was terrific, very responsive, patient, and quick to get answers to my questions. I was considering downsizing and enjoyed my time working with Mark. But in the end, I decided I wasn't ready to make the move. Mark was very understanding. I never made it to the stage of negotiating.
My wife and I did an inquiry through Zillow and were referred to Mark. He met us on short notice and spent the entire day with us showing us different properties and helped us get familiarized with the San Diego area (we are from Orange County). Mark has great knowledge about different parts of the city and was very patient. We are looking forward to working with Mark and finding the perfect property. Thank you Mark!
Mark did an outstanding job assisting me with my house search. His knowledge of market's geographic area is excellent. He is patient and honest. Highly recommend him.
We just bought our second home in San Diego County. I met Mark Frattini through Biggerpockets during my military deployment. I was able to personally meet him after the day I came back. He is very honest, approachable, and patient with us especially with San Diego Market. For example, one of the offers got accepted and during inspection of the house, an issue was found and he recommended not to purchase the house. This is kind of agent you want on you team who will tell you his honest opinion. One of the best real estate agent to work with. He made this journey exceptionally comfortable, easy , and less stressful. Highly recommend and using him in the future as a buyer and seller. Blessed to have Mark Frattini during this process.
I met Mark via BiggerPockets forum. I first noticed him answering at lot of the questions and giving his input on things. I then posted something on BP forums... Mark replied. He gave me a valuable referral. A few months after I was ready to purchase, and Mark was quick to offer help. I scheduled to tour a house that had a lot of demand... it just fell out of contract, and was priced very competitively. Mark arrived early, and was able to inspect the home, thus when I arrived, he was able to give me good insights. I ended up not getting that house, because they wanted ALL CASH offer which I cannot do. But from that experience I new Mark was my guy. He was responsive, insightful, and knows what he is doing. He also has a calm and very easy personality which made me comfortable to work with him. I never felt pressure or uneasiness even as I started looking all over the map. I eventually had to stop looking due to overseas travel, but we kept looking at houses virtually. An offer finally got accepted and when into contact while overseas, and he made sure that we close without issues. Mark also knows my plans of getting a multi, and knows that I'm not ready, but he is helping me get there by giving referrals and ideas so I can reach my targets. I would recommend Mark to anyone especially to my friends and family.
I give Mark Frattini my highest recommendation. He is the person you want on your side while navigating the real estate market. Its easy to get caught up in emotions while buying or selling a home. Mark will help you make calculated decisions that best benefit you and your family for the long term, and do so without pressure. Mark is extremely knowledgeable about San Diego neighborhoods. He will help you find the best fit for your needs and interests. I have known Mark for six years. During that time we have worked together and invested together. Mark gives 100% effort in all he does. You will enjoy working with Mark and will likely consider him a friend.
