Mark Newman

We did some internet searching trying to find a Realtor who was especially familiar with the Gilbert / Chandler / Queen Creek area.  We interacted with several realtors who claimed they knew the area but did not.  One realtor was too lazy to get out of the car and sent us in to look at a house alone. Another realtor played on his iPad while we were looking at a house, and acted inconvenienced when asked a question. Yet another said “I am just a ‘key access’ person, I don’t answer questions”, and another said they would schedule an appointment for us, and never did. So when I called Mark, I wasn’t sure what to expect.  I told him the type of property we were interested in, and in what area we were looking at.  The property had just received an offer, but was vacant so he offered to meet me there in 30 minutes so I could see if it was the type of property that would work for us. He identified that there were similar ones in the area that might come on the market. He had been through the property before with another client and offered insights of the pro’s and con’s from the other clients perspective.  This was very helpful information as you only get a short time in a home and the more information, the better. We saw a second home that he had also seen previously.  Again he shared useful information.  We decided to make an offer, and Mark provided the comps, potential insight on appraisal considerations, and guidance on statistics related to market price. Once we made the offer, Mark continued to be there for us. He answered our emails and phone calls promptly, and gave us detailed updates on what to expect, and what had occurred.  He was there for us at the inspection, and available to us at closing.  (We switched our closing time due to our schedule at the last minute and he had a commitment). Mark was trustworthy, responsive and communicative.  He was extremely knowledgeable  of the East Valley ( I am sure other areas too).  If we need find ourselves needing real estate in the future, he will be our “go to” person. We can honestly say that, of all the realtors we have ever engaged in various regions of the country, that Mark is the cream of the crop.
