Testimonials

“Mark is exactly what you want in an agent. He understands the market and real value, is sincerely interested in what you want and is not pushy or reactionary. We worked with Mark for 8 months in a quest to find our dream house. He turned over every rock looking for the right house for us. He never once pressured us to buy so that he could make a sale. Instead, he focused on what we were looking for and what our price range was and never waivered. We now count Mark as a friend. We highly recommend him.”

“Mark knew exactly what we were looking for in a house and spent hours doing a our leg work by previewing properties. He also knows the East Bay market extremely well which allowed him to find homes for us to consider that other agents would miss. Most importantly, we trusted him. Mark is not in a rush to push the deal for a commission check. He wants to make sure his clients get the right house at the right price which means giving honest feedback about how much to offer on a home. Mark is committed to his trade which translates into great service for his clients.”

“I’ve been a real estate investment advisor in the Bay Area for years – you can imagine the challenge of selecting a broker to list my personal residence considering all of the real estate professionals I have known over the years. I selected Mark Darfler because he really knows the local East Bay market, understands the complex dynamics of buyer and seller negotiations in real-world transactions, and had the complete skill set to understand and represent the value proposition of my property to the marketplace. I could not have made a better selection. He reinforced and further demonstrated his value at multiple milestones in the sales process – from the initial listing with a comprehensive marketing plan, through negotiating with potential buyers through the offer process, to finally sealing the deal and caring to every detail in the closing process. Mark deserves my utmost respect and appreciation for the hard work he did throughout this process.”

“Mark was a great asset to us during the process of buying our home. We told him exactly what we wanted and where we wanted it to be, and he made it a priority to help us find it. He really stuck with us for the long haul. And his patience, experience and guidance were invaluable in making our purchase go as smoothly as it did. Thanks, Mark!”

“Mark Darfler worked diligently to get our short sale completed. Because we had two different lenders our short sale took almost a year to complete. What’s amazing to me is Mark kept our original buyer in contract for the duration of the process. Thank you Mark for saving us from foreclosure.”

Mark is a savvy professional and a pleasure to work with. He quickly grasps a client’s needs and shows only appropriate properties. We focused on REOs and short sales and Mark guided us through the intricacies of a short sale purchase. He employs the latest real estate search tools and online document signature software to expedite offer submissions. He knows the market extremely well and is a superb negotiator; so, he made our purchase as smooth as possible. We highly recommend Mark.

Mark sold our Walnut Creek home in a record time in a depressed market. He is without a doubt the most professional & honest Realtor I have had the pleasure to work with and know personally. We can’t say enough about what a great job he did for us and how valued his friendship is!

The sale of our home was perfection because of Mark Darfler. Mark is truly a nice person and a great agent. His marketing plan, timing, knowledge and diligence were all remarkable. Because we were out of town sellers, having our home on the market could have been a little nerve racking, but Mark’s attention to detail and excellent communication made our transaction smooth and pleasurable.
