Recently my wife and I were represented by Mark Bowis from Cobden and Hayson Balmain in the selling of our apartment, and I cannot recommend Mark highly enough. Mark is one of those rare professionals who not only loves what he does, but genuinely cares about his clients. Throughout every step of the selling process, Mark provided sage-like counsel, good humour and an unwavering commitment to his promises - you could literally set your watch to the time Mark said he would call - a rare quality in any profession these days. As this was the first property we have sold, Mark was instrumental, and found a buyer within two weeks in a very tough market; negotiating a price that exceeded all personal and market expectations. Mark is kind, thoughtful and strategic, an agent of great principle and, as we discovered, tremendously adept at getting the best sale price for his clients. While it would be nice if there were more like him, Mark is one in a million.

Mark was initially recommended to us by a previous client & has impressed us from the outset. He is discrete , has in-depth knowledge of our district & has been able to attract & guide a significant number of potential buyers through our property. He has been very particular about how he presents the property & the feedback he gives the vendor has been great.Mark seem to read the needs of buyers & expectations of sellers well & in our case resulting in a very good outcome for all concerned.We would use him again to buy or sell a property in this district & would not hesitate in recommending him to others.

We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mark Bowis of The Agency to everyone who is looking for an Agent who will put you first, be completely honest, who has all the experience, expertise and knowledge to handle your sale. It is no doubt one of the most stressful and important times in your life when selling your home, however with Mark and his team on our side the process went smoothly, professionally and with their support, stress levels were down throughout. We would highly recommend Mark to anyone who is wishing to sell their property. We cannot thank him enough for a wonderful result especially during the current market. Alexandra and Peter Frampton

Mark is a great agent who goes above and beyond what is expected. His attention to detail is supperb and he will go to great lengths to get everything right every open and showing. His up to date knowledge of the market and industry make him the best agent we know and trust and we have bought and sold quite a few properties in the inner west and will continue to use Mark into the future.

We couldn't have asked for more. When we appointed Mark we had never sold a house in Sydney and never participated in an auction, either as buyer or seller. Mark talked us through the process, mapped out the various scenarios that could come up along the way, discussed his strategy and gave us advice on how to best present the house for marketing/open houses etc. We met with Mark weekly and talked most days as he kept us informed on the interest in the house, his discussions with interested buyers etc. He made sure we were informed an comfortable throughout. The marketing campaign that Mark ran had great success with well over 100 groups viewing the house, more than 20 contracts issued and most importantly, a successful sale! The sale price was also in line with his original advice on what to expect. Mark knew the area well, understood what other properties were on the market and what buyers would be looking for. He was easy to work with, professional and genuinely cared about making sure we were happy in this process. I have no reservations recommending Mark to anyone looking to sell.

When choosing a real estate agent, for me the two most important factors are TRUST and RESULTS, both are equally important. From the moment I met Mark Bowis, we had a good repour, his expertise and knowledge of the area impressed me, and once appointed, he certainly went above and beyond. He became my interior designer and helped me declutter, not an easy task! He always kept me updated with any dealings he had with potential buyers and always recommended, what he thought would be the best outcome for me. I would be very happy to recommend Mark to anybody, who is looking at selling their home, he is a very caring person, and highly skilled in his field.

From our initial meeting to exchange Mark has provided a thoroughly professional service, he helped me prepare my property for the market and organised this on my behalf, his communication was excellent, he kept me fully updated at all times on the progress of the sale as well as current market conditions. Mark's style is warm, open and honest which transpired in the relationships he built with potential buyers and also my neighbours which was important to me in our small apartment block! He helped me secure great price for my apartment in a difficult market pre auction, I would have no hesitation recommending Mark for anyone looking for a true selling partner.

very hard working , effective communicating and highly trusted agent

We sold our house at 2 napoleon Street Rozelle in June 2017. We chose McGrath Estate Agents at Balmain as our agent. Mark Bowis acted for McGrath. I wish to thank and congratulate Mark his professionalism and support during the sales process. It was enjoyable to work with Mark . He was diligent, responsive, friendly and flexible in his approach. His empathy in regards to the concerns of owner and matching our needs with the best way to market and present the house was really appreciated. The most important factor was that he was a nice people. Jackie and I are pleased to recommend Mark to anyone looking to sell or buy a property.

Mark has been a pleasure to deal with. From the start, nothing was ever too much to trouble. He went above and beyond to help me prepare my property for sale. He was communicative the entire way with daily updates and applying strategies. Post sale he has continued to support me in offering valued advice.

If you are considering selling your home, I would highly recommend you speak with Mark Bowis from The Agency before you make a decision on your selling agent. Upon initially meeting Mark, I was very impressed with his level of professionalism, knowledge of the local real estate market and developing the right marketing strategy for my property. Mark was very involved with preparing my apartment for sale and with getting work done, such as arranging quotes and co-ordinating trades for painting, new carpet and styling. From the moment my apartment came onto the market, Mark kept me posted with all progress, activity and buyer feedback, so I always knew what was happening every step of the way. When it came down to it, Mark was able to identify the strongest buyers and managed negotiating with 4 different parties with offers prior to auction, which created a very competitive scenario. The outcome was a result that I was extremely happy with and above my expectations.

We highly recommend Mark Bowis. Mark is a genuine and trustworthy professional. It was a pleasure to work with him throughout the whole campaign. He brought a refreshing combination of enthusiasm and local expertise. In a changing market he negotiated a great outcome for us.
