Some Highlights

Comparing housing market metrics from one year to another can be challenging in a normal housing market – and the last few years have been anything but normal. In a way, they were ‘unicorn’ years.
Expect unsettling housing market headlines this year, mostly due to unfair comparisons with the ‘unicorn’ years.

testimonials

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

Marcus helped my wife and I purchase our home in 2013 and the experience was amazing! We really benefited from his vast knowledge and expertise in real estate. Marcus has a way of taking the stress out of the home buying process through patience and willingness to answer all questions in detail, no matter how many times you ask the same question. From the initial consultation all the way to the closing table, there was a very relaxed, pleasant and worry- free vibe that he created. Marcus has proven to be not just a professional but a friend who cares and we appreciate him to the fullest!

We really appreciated Marcus’s availability and how he treated us as if we were his only clients. Whenever we called on Marcus he gave us his undivided attention and answered all our questions right away. He was very patient with us and took his time in finding us the right house. Overall we would say his service is highly recommended and he is very knowledgeable at what he does. Marcus was very helpful with our needs and wants and in the end we found the perfect house.

Your step-by-step advice and guidance on specifics with which I was unfamiliar truly proved helpful, especially as I had never sold a home before. I got to know you personally and I appreciated how you thoroughly discussed and advised, "one-on-one", on all the contracts that came in.

I would like to recommend our real estate agent Marcus Bruno. Here is the review I gave him on the sale of our home.

5 stars

Marcus listened to our needs and ideas and worked as a team with us which led to a very profitable sale with minimal issues. It was a very smooth transaction. He was very pleasant to deal with and minimized stress for us in the whole process. He was also very proactive and organized in planning everything which lead to 26 showings and more than 20 people at an open house all within 2 days. We had over 9 offers from that 2 days. So we didn't have to leave the house on the market for longer than 2 days and disrupt our lives with nuisance showings. He was very savvy with negotiating, picking the best buyer, and using leverage to give us the best deal.
