My wife and I first contacted Mark when planning a trip from out-of-state to Bella Vista to see if this community was right for us to retire in. He provided us with relevant material about the area, as well as things to do while here. It didn’t take us long during our initial trip to make up our minds on Bella Vista and Mark immediately went to work on finding a rental to allow us time to look for the right home. I could tell right from the beginning that he was a forthright person and I never had to wonder if I was getting completely accurate information. Mark arranged a rental while we searched for our new home. This helped us explore Bella Vista to see where we wanted to live. He was so helpful during the 5 months we rented, having nothing to do with real estate, just getting acclimated with the area and all the changes needed with relocation. Mark went way above the call of duty, and we are so grateful to have had his help. Mark listened to what we each were looking for in our ideal home (not exactly identical descriptions!) and the comments that we made on the homes we looked at. While making constructive comments how changes to home could be made when something was not quite right, he never tried to push us Just when it seemed like we would be renting for a lot longer, the beautiful lake front property we were hoping for came on the market. He helped us through making a fair, but attractive offer, the home inspection items, and all the closing items. We are so happy with our new home! It’s hard to imagine a realtor more hard-working, attentive, and knowledgeable as Mark.
