Mark has a great depth of knowledge when it comes to properties like ours and made us feel confident and comfortable throughout the whole sales process. His communication was excellent , making contact on a daily basis. The whole process was carried out in a very professional manner.
Wish to thank Mark for achieving a better than expected final sale price at auction for my property. As a seller owning a tired former home that had years of being tenanted, I procrastinated about what to do and needed an agent with Mark's ability to guide me. Mark successfully managed the entire process, from freshening up the property, to gathering interest from potential buyers, to transferring that interest into registered bidders on auction day. His vision for the property was evident in our first planning meeting together. His sense of design in creating an appealing street front that popped with colour, and got potential buyers to stop, look and make time to walk in and view the property, was pivotal. Mark kept me informed on the ideal buyer group for the property, their expectations and key interests. He worked hard, made himself and the property available, used his contacts and his market experience. He applied his knowledge of local selling climate; he matched the property's features to the potential buyer's expected benefits and price points. In summing up, Mark's standout skill is with being in tune with people, their needs, both buyers and sellers. It is with pleasure that I recommend him to those seeking to sell or buy.
Mark is a professional, transparent, and communicative agent who sold my house for over asking price. He kept me informed and advised me on how to market the house and what price to expect. As an out of state owner, Mark was brilliant in managing tradies and giving advice on just the right amount of work to make it appealing to buyers. He also reached out to neighbours so that potential buyers had great experiences during open houses. Mark is friendly, confident and assertive in negotiating with buyers. He respectfully created a sense of urgency and competition among them. Mark Bowris is not only a great agent, but also a friendly and trustworthy person. He will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy and satisfied with your sale. Highly recommended!
If everyone was as professional, courteous, open, understanding, knowledgeable, strategic and quick to act as Mark is, the world would be a better place. Time poor and no longer living close to our former home, we engaged Mark to sell at a time of rising interest rates and mixed economic forecasts. Recalling the excellent impression we'd formed of Mark many years ago, we contacted him and asked him to prepare a sales plan. That was the best decision we could have made, and from there Mark skillfully guided us through every other aspect of the sale. Working to this plan, and with a clear vision for how the property could be presented, Mark kept us informed at every stage. He obtained quotes, engaged trades and in record time had the property painted, carpeted, styled and ready for market. (No really, it was amazing. Don't get me started on how long renovations can take!) On one occasion when I rang him with a sudden concern, he'd already anticipated the issue and taken steps to resolve it. Amazing. As we approached the time for auction, Mark was always there to keep us informed, but also gave us the time and space we needed to make decisions. His understanding of the local area and buyers' viewpoints was impressive, and when potentially stressful choices had to be made, Mark navigated us through it all with certainty and care, delivering an excellent result beyond our expectations. Mark, thank you for everything. I would (and will!) wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone selling in the Inner West.
We bought and sold the same property with Mark. Through both transactions, he was a pleasure to deal with. Extremely professional, an expert at managing expectations, all with a sense of humour. Mark was always thinking ahead and fine tuning the sales strategy. His attention to detail was outstanding. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him. Please don't retire Mark, before we want to sell again!
Mark impressed us from the outset. We hadn't been involved in the real estate market in over 20 years so Mark's well-articulated, intrinsic knowledge of the market and the processes around selling gave us a huge amount of confidence. Mark's advice on how to prepare the house for sale, the timing of campaign and the strategy throughout proved invaluable, particularly given the extremely tricky nature of a falling market. Mark was right there with us every step of the way. We were thrilled with the outcome and felt it was thoroughly reflective of Mark's superior work ethic and very high professional standards. We couldn't have done it without him and would not hesitate in recommending Mark to any prospective seller.
Take the stress out of selling, appoint Mark, hand him the keys and let him do the rest, simple. From moment we pressed go he arranged several tradesmen immediately and within a week house was newly painted, carpeted, touched up and dressed to sell. He stuck to a strict timeline and achieved it. On top communication was excellent, he’s very professional and articulate, and I received almost daily calls from him as well as detailed weekly reports. Finally, most importantly, we achieved a good result in a tough market. He always listened and gave good advice. I’m in sales also so was very picky when selecting an agent. So absolutely would recommend Mark.
Mark is hands down the best agent I have dealt with – ever. Here’s why: • He gave us a realistic view of what we could achieve from our sale. • He had a sales strategy that made sense and explained to us the ‘why’ behind his approach. • He ensured our property was presented in the best possible way for buyers. • He made himself and the property available to buyers when it suited them, not him. • He qualified and profiled each buyer and understood their motivations, their price limits and their ‘not negotiables’. • He called us every day to keep us abreast of how the campaign was tracking. • He knew how to get us the highest price and he did. Nothing is more important than finding an agent you can trust. Mark is certainly worthy of that trust.
Mark is highly professional, ethical, and a great guy to collaborate with. He has a unique combination of skills and didn't miss a single detail. Our sales process went well in a challenging market. We will definitely recommend him.
Mark was very open, shared his experience and expertise in a very balanced way. He coordinated all the vendors for the preparation of the house which meant we were showing the house at its best. The suppliers Mark introduced us to were very efficient and competent. Mark was in constant communication with us throughout the sale process which meant we could make timely and well informed decisions, critical in a difficult market. I would highly recommend Mark.
We could not have been happier, not only with the result but the whole procedure. Selling my father's apartment from interstate was daunting for us, but Mark's knowledge, can-do attitude and professionalism made everything so much easier. If it needed to be done, he got it done and went above and beyond to make it happen. His advice was always spot on and we could not recommend his work more. Thanks again Mark.
Mark was exceptionally professional and knew and understood the market very well. He was also honest about the property likely sale price, kept us informed and up to date at every step of the process. In short, extremely capable, professional and reliable. I would not hesitate to work with Mark in the future or recommend him to any prospective vendors.
