What Mark Olsen's Clients are Saying.
We are so lucky to find Mark for our house purchase when we moved here from California. We can honestly say he is the best realtor we have worked with ever. He is honest, responsive to our needs and concerns, but never pushy, and extreme knowledgable about what we should be looking into (structures, house conditions, maintenance etc.) when purchasing a single family home. We feel we can put our trust in him 100%. We would recommend him to anyone who wants to buy a home.
Mark was truly amazing to work with. He took time to understand where we were as a family and made sure to tell us if he thought we may be taking on too much (in house projects!). He was able to steer us away from homes that he knew would not fit our needs and more importantly guide us to the home that has been perfect for our family! We loved his “no pressure” approach, his commitment to our needs and his never ending patience. Having been born and raised here in Bend, he knows the ends-and-outs of the neighborhoods, communities and school districts, plus he has a pocket full of great tradesmen! Coming into a tight market as first-time homebuyers we were worried it would be a stressful process, but Mark made the home buying process easier and smoother than we could have ever anticipated! We could not recommend him enough and are so grateful for his hard work!!
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Mark as we searched for a home in Bend. He knows this tough real estate market well and was diligent, patient, upbeat, professional and on top of every detail throughout our home search and purchase. Mark’s knowledge of construction and home maintenance issues was also a big plus as we looked at homes. We highly recommend him.
We have worked with a lot of realtors over the years and we are "picky". Our previous long term realtor in California suggested we contact Mark and we are so happy we did. He helped us find a perfect house, was an exceptional negotiator when we were one of several people making offers, and worked with us to close the deal. Definitely would use him again!
My husband and I loved working with Mark to buy our first home! We appreciated his knowledge of the local market, ins and outs of the neighborhoods, and his responsiveness. He took the time to get to know our desires and needs for our home and helped us find it! Especially in such a crazy and competitive market, we feel so grateful to have worked with Mark!
Mark Olsen made our home purchase endeavor about as stress free as possible. Mark is extremely knowledge, patient, thorough, responsive and a quality person. Every step of the way he responded to our questions and concerns promptly and thoroughly, and when he took us out to look at homes it was an enjoyable experience. Mark had all the connections with reputable companies for inspections, repair work, insurance, etc., so we didn't have the burden of finding someone trustworthy when we were ready to purchase. Mark and MOhomes are a quality team you can trust to support and guide you through the entire experience. Mark Olsen of MOhomes is now our realtor for all future home sales/purchases, there's no reason for us to look further.
We worked with Mark to sell our home. He is very knowledgeable about the market and research your specific area to make sure he targets the right buyers. He was very honest and upfront with info and strategy - I never felt he was being gimmicky or overselling his services. He clearly answered any questions we had, responded very quickly to calls or emails, and stuck to the timeline of when we wanted to sell. When we needed to make updates and repairs before showing the house, he had great recommendations for contractors/services and helped us with contacting them. The open house he had was very successful. He was great throughout the entire process - from getting the house ready to sell all the way through final inspection and closing papers. His hard work paid off for all of us.
We had the privilege of working with Mark on the purchase of our new home and I can't recommend him highly enough. He really listens to what you are looking for, NEVER trys to upsell you - this guy legitimately wants you to get into the best home for you and your family. His team is incredibly communicative, friendly, and professional. I had the pleasure of touring multiple homes with Mark and I was impressed by how knowledgeable he was on the details and updates in each house - it felt like I was having a mini-inspection on each visit which gave me a better sense of homes I was interested in pursuing or to bin. Eventually, I found my dream house and his team made it happen! Typing this review from my new home as of two weeks ago. Couldn't be happier with the experience.
Mark came highly recommend to us and he did not disappoint! We worked with Mark to buy our first home and it was a wonderful experience. He was very responsive and accommodating to our hectic schedules. He was very knowledgeable, explained each step of the process and made the experience enjoyable. We highly recommend and plan to work with Mark for future home purchases.
We recently bought our house -- what a pleasure it has been to work with Mark Olsen to make this long-held dream come true!
Mark did a walk-through of the home with us and, from that stage on, was with us every step of the way. We were surprised and delighted at how he anticipated our needs and was often one step ahead! People often like to say they are "detailed-oriented" but Mark truly is the real deal; we were amazed at how he unfailingly circled back to address outstanding questions and issues. We can't say enough about how much we appreciated his professionalism & real estate knowledge, his prompt & thorough communication, his patience in explaining the process and answering our myriad questions, and his wonderfully cheerful spirit and sense of humor. Making an offer on a home and going through the inspection & negotiation process is a real nail-biter to be sure but, with Mark along with us for the ride, it was also fun!
Mark is a knowledgeable, great realtor to work with. We feel really fortunate and grateful to have met him!
I HIGHLY recommend Mark Olsen for your real estate needs; he is a smart and hard working professional. Mark went out of his way to ensure that every step of buying my "project" home was accomplished with the least amount of stress possible. His comprehensive list of trade professionals assured that quotes and lender required repairs were done on time and on budget. Mark is extremely tuned into to the needs of his clients and is genuinely focused on helping them find the perfect home.
