Nourmand and Associates

As first time investment buyers, we could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, understanding, hardworking, and collaborative realtor. Mark went above and beyond at every stage - from early fact finding calls answering all of our questions, to printed out binders of information during our in person searches, to detailed research in comps and rental values, to simply being at the units when we couldnt be during renovations - after we purchased - and everything in between. We truly could not have been successful without him, and cannot wait to work with him again.

We have bought and sold a home before, and had a fine experience with our past agent. So many (mostly younger) agents tried to snap us up at viewings and we were about to go with one that also seemed "fine", but when we struck up a conversation with Mark at an open house, I knew within the hour he spent answering our questions, that we might have just met the perfect person for the job. Mark has the perfect balance of experience and enthusiasm aEUR" we asked him so many tangential, big picture, ambiguous and esoteric questions along the way and he not only had thoughtful, well-informed answers, but he delivered those answers clearly in a way that makes what is otherwise a complicated and at times overwhelming experience feel smooth and steady. He never showed any bias or agenda aEUR" he always centered what we were looking for and listened to the details. He was proactive in educating us and anticipating our needs, and he was ever-available to us when we had questions or wanted to meet up late in the evening to write a last minute offer together. In the first few weeks together (thats all it took for us to find the house we bought) he spent every weekend compiling tours for us of our favorite properties and visiting each one together. He's also clearly an expert negotiator aEUR" this comes as second nature to him aEUR" and he does an excellent job building rapport with other agents so that he can give you the leg up in multi-offer situations. Other agents can tell he knows what he's doing, and he knows how to help you put your best foot forward. Mark knows LA back to front, and somehow, after decades of tireless work, he remains enthusiastic and energized to get out there and see more houses, and learn more about what the market is doing or threatening to do next. He's also just a kind, easy-going and funny person who you'll find hard not to want to be friends with.

Weve known Mark for over 10 years, so when it was time to buy our home, calling him was an easy decision. This was such a big moment for our family, and he truly showed up for us. He helped us put together a strong offer at asking price while also negotiating for closing costs and additional credits aEUR" something we wouldnt have known how to approach on our own. Having him guide us through that made a huge difference. He answered every question, stayed patient through all the emotions that come with buying a home, and made the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. Were so thankful we had him in our corner. We love our home, and were really grateful for everything he did to help us get here.

As a First Time Home Buyer in the insanely challenging Los Angeles market, I couldn't have asked for a better Realtor. Mark Walker would author the First Time Home Buyer's Guide for Dummies in Los Angeles. (if it doesn't already exists, Mark W should at least consult) Patient, Masterful, Excellent Communicator, breaks Real estate concepts down to the simplest language available. His reputation in the biz precedes him too. I've attended many Open Houses alone in my nearly year long search (by choice) and when sellers' reps would hear who I was working with, they would gush and ask me to give Mark their warmest regards. A masterful expert, compassionate human who has YOUR best interest at heart. I'm in my First new Home now and I can't imagine what this process would have looked like without Mark! And though I am in the home, he understands that A LOT of issues that come up are new to me, he still answers any inquiry asap! My realtor for LIFE.
