Mario Valone Baltimore City Real Estate Agent

Mario is a great realtor. He made the home-buying process easy and smooth, he is friendly, responsive to emails, is willing to work with your schedule (and ours is TOUGH), is open to suggestions, and we felt he really understood what we were looking for while balancing the needs of myself and my husband (who each have our own taste in real estate.) He solicited feedback during the process to makes sure he understood what we were looking for. Turns out we didn't know ourselves, and that helped us understand it better! He also has a good idea of the Baltimore market and knows about up and coming properties and areas. I recommend him as a Realtor!

Mario was absolutely fabulous. From the first meeting onward, he was prompt, courteous, and a consummate professional. He was honest and upfront with his valuation and expectations. He went the extra mile with professional photography, video tours, and getting the listing visibility. He was thoughtful in his advice during the negotiation process. And finally, he went the above and beyond with any help we needed all the way until the deal was closed. Having worked with multiple other realtors in the past, Mario is without a doubt the best with whom we have worked. We give him the HIGHEST recommendation. - T+M+Milo

I worked with Mario to sell our home in Baltimore in 2015 and then, to purchase a home (listing for this review) in 2018. Mario is tremendously knowledgeable of and connected to the Baltimore community. And, he's got a sense of humor that makes the highs and lows of home buying enjoyable at every turn. So, work with him! The home we ultimately purchased was one that my wife and I had looked over and he suggested we view. It was only 60% completed at the time. He was familiar with the builder and the layout, pre construction. Without that insight, we might have still been looking or simply less thrilled with the purchase. He's also tremendously response via email and phone and partnered well with our mortgage company. All in all, an enthusiastic 10/10 experience for us.

Mario was the best agent. He was attentive, professional, and very knowledgeable in his field. There was not a single question we had that he wasn't able to give us an answer to right away. He goes above and beyond for his clients. Mario will always be my first call with any new real estate endeavor. He is the best.

Review of Realtor Mario Valone Mario was referred to me from a previous client when I decided to sell my rental property in Baltimore, Maryland in May of 2017. From the beginning I found Mario knowledgeable about the local market, thorough and very timely in his response to any of my questions or requests. He worked with my property management agent to gain access to the house so other contractors could complete their estimates while the tenants were still living on the premises. He priced the house correctly according to local market conditions. He provided net proceed analyses to allow me to determine the bottom line in different pricing scenario’s. When we went to contract, Mario provided online submissions to ease the paperwork. The house was ready to list in the time I specified. Mario went the extra mile to make sure the house was ready for sale. He treated the sale as though he was a surrogate owner. We had two competing buyers within the first week on the market. During the inspection we found out that the dining room floor had moisture damage. The buyer got cold feet and withdrew from the contract. This setback didn’t discourage Mario and with my direction we repaired the problem, and relisted the house for sale. He worked with the second buyer, and we went to contract and closed the deal in early December. This was a seven month process, and I applaud Mario for his tenacity in not wavering from his commitment to me and my need to sell the property as soon as possible. I highly recommend Mario to any potential seller and or buyer in selling their property, especially a seller who is out of state and dealing with tenants and a management agent. Bill Pearson

I had lived in Baltimore and moved back wanting to settle and buy a house. I knew exactly what I wanted and -I thought I was clear, and worked with several agents for several weeks. I was complaining to my sister and she refered me to Mario. We spoke and the next day he showed me 3 houses-all which were perfect and an hour later I had my house. 2 years later I wanted an investment house and 2 days and 4 hours I had the perfect rental. My finances are very complicated and I tend to be very hard to work with- time and travel constraints- and have had real issues getting through the financing and mortgage process; and have lost several houses due to that fact.... But Mario put his boots, hard hat and rolled up his sleeves and basically did a lot of heavy hauling both times to make the deals happen

"Mario was great to work with. I owned a property in a neighborhood that is more difficult to sell in. Mario not only marketed my house well we got an offer within days of listing and everything went incredibly smoothly. I got exactly what I wanted and more."

Mario was great in helping us buy our first home. He was very knowledgeable about the area in Baltimore and very helpful in navigating the next steps as well as negotiating with the Seller.

It went extremely well. Mario was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the local housing market. I can't recommend him highly enough. I will certainly use him for any future real estate needs.

We found Mario by his reviews and I was a bit skeptical because they were so overwhelmingly positive. But Mario lived up to the hype on every count! We were relatively new to Baltimore and he showed us houses in a variety of neighborhoods (and gave us a brief tour/overview of the neighborhood) until we found a neighborhood that felt like the right fit. Mario helped us find a house that met our needs, in our price point, and in our 2 to 3-month timeline and was very knowledgeable about the realistic value of the properties we saw. Mario managed to get us the house of our dreams even with less than cooperative realtor on the seller’s end. He even followed up with us after we were in the house to make sure everything was going well. We would definitely recommend him to anyone buying a house in Baltimore city and will use him again for any real-estate needs we have!

Mario served as our selling agent for our Baltimore City property. I found him on Angie's List after seeking the services of other agents who I found through word of mouth. Unlike the other agents I contacted, he was very responsive and professional. He was very knowledgeable of the local market and gave us his professional opinion regarding the market listing price along with a market analysis to back it up. Mario also did not pressure us to list the property quickly, considering it was winter and the weather was not optional for property sales. We opted to wait until March 1st to list. We received an all cash offer for full asking price within 2 weeks of listing and closed within another 2-3 weeks after. I would highly recommend the hiring of Mario as your real estate agent!

Mario helped me purchase a home this year. I'd tried another realtor before finding Mario, but that realtor didn't seem interested in really helping to find a house that was a good fit for me. I then met Mario and was immediately confident he'd go above and beyond to help me in my house search. He was extremely helpful and patient throughout the entire process. I asked to see many homes - some that didn't exactly meet the requirements I'd given to Mario when we began the search. He made a point to remember all of the things that I was looking for in a home, and would always provide helpful information and guidance if I was undecided about a certain house, or if I'd request to see a house that didn't exactly fit my own requirements. I did finally find a house and extended an offer which was accepted. Unfortunately, the seller ran into some title issues and the sale didn't go through. Mario immediately began helping me to find another new home and very quickly we found the house that I live in today. I can't thank him enough for his patience and help and I will definitely use him for all real estate needs in the future!

Mario helped my wife and I find and buy a home in Canton. We were from out of town and it was extremely helpful to have someone who knew Baltimore well. Mario was fantastic to work with, he was pleasant, responsive, helpful without pressuring us, and a great advocate for us during the process. We loved all the places Mario showed us, especially the one we bought! Normally an overwhelming process on your own, looking for our first home in Baltimore we were extremely lucky to have Mario on our side. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Mario helped me buy a home in Canton. Being a first time homebuyer was overwhelming, but Mario made the process as simple and easy as possible. He worked with me, looking at a lot of houses, and stuck with me for several months until I found the right house. Mario was also very proactive in negotiating with the seller's agent to get not only the price down, but to make sure that things were fixed and cleaned inside the house. Mario was always available and willing to work with me when I wanted to see more options or go back to a previous house. He definitely made buying my first home a memorable experience!

Mario was fantastic! I'm in the military and stationed in Texas, so my wife and I were not able to visit Baltimore before buying the house. We were comfortable buying without seeing it in person because Mario went above and beyond what was required. He took walk-through videos of the houses we were considering, answered any questions we had, and would go back and take more videos or pictures if we needed more info. Mario always thought of ways to make us more comfortable in the home-buying process, which took alot of stress out of an extremely stressful time. He even held on to the keys until my wife moved up (about two months), and had them available when she got there. We highly recommend Mario and would definitely use him in the future!

Mario's service experience was excellent, we had two offers on our house within the first week of listing proving that it was priced correctly. We also were working with a relocation company and Mario assisted through that process with ease. He was very knowledgeable about our area and gave us great suggestions to compete within our market.

I was attempting to buy a home in Baltimore (Hampden area) for the purpose of investment. Since I do not live in Baltimore, I needed someone on whom I can rely. I called Mario and he helped me understand the market. Not only that, before I ask he set up a time with the seller and recorded videos so I can see how the house looks from inside. I wasn't able to go through with the sale due to other constraints, but my short experience with Mario has showed me an honest, proactive, and knowledgeable agent. If I'm buying in Baltimore, I'll sure work with him again.

As first time homebuyers, my husband and I were nervous about purchasing a home in Baltimore, MD. We were moving from Pittsburgh, PA, so we wanted a responsive realtor who would give us advice and his opinion. We could not have asked for a better realtor than Mario Valone. He was available to us at any time during the day and any time during the week. He was available by phone and email. He was very punctual and polite. Because we would have to drive from Pittsburgh to see homes, he sent us lists of homes to review ahead of time so that he would have access to the homes we were interested in seeing when we were in town, ensuring that we made the most of our days in Baltimore. He also had our best interests at heart. Having lived in the area we were looking at, he was able to give us a lot of valuable information and honest advice. Once we settled on a home, he was present for the home inspection as well as the walk through. Additionally, he came to the home inspection and the walk through armed with questions as though he were purchasing the home himself. Due to circumstances beyond our control, our closing date on our place in Pittsburgh was just two days before the home in Baltimore. Mario guided us through the process of wiring money from one title company directly to the other. The process was seamless! Not only did Mario make sure that we came to the closing prepared with the appropriate documentation and funds, but he also contacted the title company to confirm that they were coming to the closing prepared with the necessary paperwork. Having gone through a stressful closing on our home in Pittsburgh, we were VERY impressed that there were absolutely no surprises at the closing in Baltimore! We HIGHLY recommend Mario Valone to anyone purchasing a home in Baltimore.
