Marcus is a fast worker and reliable. I loved the electronic document service you used; it was super convenient for me considering I was in school and always on the go and unable to make it a office. And Marcus was always there to calm me down when things were getting complicated and frustrating, things expected in the real estate business.

Let me just say, my fiance and I absolutely adore Marcus and would recommend him to anyone trying to buy or sell a home. We were so impressed with him, we were already recommending him to our friends and family before we even closed on our own home. We originally had another real estate agent and had to relieve him after being passed up for 5 different homes because of the lack of timeliness and professionalism that was displayed. We were very frustrated to say the least, so we did an agent search and were paired up with Marcus by chance and we were so blessed we found him. Marcus is extremely professional and patient with his customers and is willing to go the extra mile. Marcus's knowledge of the process way surpassed anyone we had ever dealt with before. He was always available right when we needed him and checked in frequently with us to see us through the whole process. He was able to negotiate with the home owner and bring down the price significantly. I do not have anything negative to say about Marcus and will highly recommend him to everyone I know. We have definitely had a wonderful experience and will deal with him in any of our future endeavors.

What struck me most was that when I asked a question, I got an honest response, and when the facilitators didn't know the answer, they knew where to look up the information and get back to us about it. One of the great aspects was that there was an attorney present to give answers "from a legal point of view". Lastly, the handouts were clear and concise--really helpful and not something to put away in a binder forever and always. I would recommend this seminar to anyone who is planning to buy or sell a home and is new to the world of real-estate.

I wanted to write you to tell you how much your experience in real estate made my purchase of a house so easy. Your ability to qualify me for a house was fast, and by using your website, I was able to make my selection of houses from my home. And after I chose the house you did the rest: inspections, appraisal and finally the loan. Even settlement was a breeze-you made it all happen smoothly.

I signed up Marcus to sell my house in Tomball TX in July 2017 based on all positive testimonials and just one phone conversation since I was remotely located (California). I had a positive vibe in that one single conversation. We had an offer in the making within a month - mid Aug 2017 when unfortunately my house flooded late August during Harvey. Marcus took the lead in arranging water remediation within hours of after water receded as well lined up all help to initiate repair of the house. He went above and beyond his role as a realtor to help me in that tough situation especially since I had already moved to California. We relisted the house for sale in Jan 2018 and the house was sold at the best possible price given the circumstances in mid-Feb. What I liked about Marcus - his in-depth experience and understanding of the market (18+ years of experience!), his immensely rational approach, his nature to work closely with the buyer and balance out things in all situations - flooding, repair, losing one buyer in Jan 2018 as the buyer could not qualify for loan and finally sealing the deal with another buyer in Feb 2018. Marcus stuck with me throughout the rough ride since Aug 2017 until Feb 2018. He guided me throughout to make the right decisions. At length, I say, I have earned a friend for life in him!! I would like to sincerely recommend Marcus for any real estate needs. I guarantee you will be very happy in doing so
