In my 27 years in real estate, many Kingston area families have used my services to buy their first home, move up to their next home, or sell their long-time home when they were ready to downsize to an apartment. Here are a few testimonials:

We met Mark at a home we were interested in, and it soon became evident that his years of experience in real estate would benefit us greatly. He is always prepared, and was readily available through many ups and downs in our home buying and selling experience.
He knows all the right things! He'd been in our potential new home years earlier, and knows the ins and outs of home systems like heating, plumbing, electrical, wells & septics. He also knows all the right people! His suggested home inspector was incredibly knowledgable & professional. Mark had tons of recommends for contractors, trades people and connections across the real estate community, and came to the rescue with a septic expert who saved us tons of money.
Mark confidently walked us through the offering process and was patient and kind as we tried to navigate buying in a new area, with a lot of economic uncertainty coalescing. He balanced our expectations, while still giving us lots of optimism about our purchase. He was easy to work with and often compromised when we felt we should go a different direction than he had suggested.
Once we secured our new property, Mark provided suggestions on what we should do to prepare our existing property for sale, and helped us get the best price possible. He was very knowledgable about housing prices in our area, and how to maximize what our old house had to offer. Even though it was a buyer's market, we sold quickly in the middle of winter! He stayed with us through the whole process, and even checked in on us after we had moved to see how we were doing.
I can't recommend Mark enough. With him as your agent you can relax about who's walking you through the incredibly big decision of where to call home.

We have known Mark for several years prior to needing a realtor. It was an easy decision to call on Mark when it was time to think about moving from our long term family home into our ‘retirement’ home. Mark understood that we were not in a hurry and would be fussy about a list of ‘must haves’. Mark is a great listener…..we looked with him at one house to better clarify our desires. Later that same afternoon we met at a second house and it checked all the boxes….the offer went in and we are moving!
Mark knows real estate and he ensures the client’s expectations are addressed. It will be Mark we will call in a few months to sell our family home.

We worked with Mark for more than a year, searching for the right property for our family. He patiently showed us many options and never made us feel pressured to act on anything that we didn't think was the right one. He was able to act very quickly when we wanted to make offers, and provided good advice on what fair market value should be. His many years of local experience reassured us that there weren't any major problems with the property we were interested in. Once we secured a property to move to, Mark provided suggestions on what we should do to prepare our existing property for sale. In a buyer's market, we sold for over list price, with the close date we wanted, in less than 3 weeks! We feel confident recommending Mark's real estate expertise to anyone.

4 years ago Mark helped me buy my first house. He considered all of the traits I was looking for in a home and helped me find the perfect house for my needs. 4 years later his 25 years of experience came through as he helped me sell this house for 99% of asking price and a final sale value more than I ever expected to receive! His ability to understand the market and what would need to be done ahead of time put me in a good position which led to selling the house in just a few days. I have since recommended Mark for others who are buying or selling, all with positive feedback of their own!

Mark was exceptional and surpassed all expectations I had. He was well organized, chose listings that fit my requirements, added ones I wanted, had printed handouts each morning, and found me a place in less than 3 days. This is my fourth home purchase and Mark is the best agent I’ve ever dealt with!
