We engaged Mark Swift from Standen Real Estate to sell our home in an off-market capacity recently. Mark seamlessly matched a suitable buyer for our property, and expertly negotiated a price that we were very happy with. Mark was professional throughout the process, keeping us regularly informed on the buyers feedback, and arranging a short negotiation period, which helped reduce the stress often associated with the sale process. Mark’s calm and reassuring advice and guidance took the pressure out of the process. It is the second time Mark and the Standen team have helped us secure a successful sale transaction. We would have no hesitation in recommending Mark for his professionalism, intrinsic knowledge of the property market, and the expert manner in which he handles sale transactions. Caitriona and Phil

Mark is a dedicated professional and his knowledge of the local area is excellent. He is an agent that will tell you the truth rather than just what you want to hear and at the end of the day will get the result you expect rather then fall short of the result you had hoped for based on what you had been told. I cannot recommend Mark highly enough and would be extremely happy to work with Mark again.

Having recently emigrated to Australia from the UK we were new to the area and registered with Standen and several other agents.  Mark stood out from the start as someone who was clearly genuine about helping us to find a new home, whether it be through Standen or elsewhere.  Mark spent a lot of time with us helping to acquaint us with Riverview and the neighbouring suburbs and expected nothing in return.  Having missed out on a number of auctions Mark introduced us to an off market opportunity which we were successful in acquiring.  Given Mark lives in Riverview, he is someone who values his reputation, which means he conducts himself in an open and honest way at all times.  He is a Riverview specialist and clearly someone who is across both on and off market opportunities. I would highly recommend Mark to both purchasers and vendors as someone who will provide honesty and transparency at all times - a refreshing change from some agents.

"I would not hesitate to recommend Mark to anyone looking to sell their home in the lower north shore. Not only did he achieve a great sale price, but he also made the entire process so easy and stress-free. He connected us with great suppliers for styling and conveyancing services, provided regular updates on interest in the property and worked diligently to finalise the transaction."

Mark has shown me his professionalism right through the selling process. His organisation of the marketing, to managing the photo shoot, copy writing, all made for a seamless process. We got the result I was looking for and I was very happy. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark to anyone who is looking to sell their home or apartment.

We purchased a home in Riverview through Mark in September 2019. He resides in Riverview and knows most properties and residence. He impressed us with his knowledge of the area and local property market and professionalism. We would definitely recommend him.

My dealings with Mark Swift, from enquiring about the property to finally purchasing the property, has been nothing but professional, personable and extremely helpful. He was encouraging but not pushy. I always felt that I could rely on Mark to answer any questions and even after buying the property, Mark has always been available to help with follow-up enquiries, suggestions to increase the value of the property and passing on helpful contacts for renovation ideas. It’s made my purchasing experience a much easier and pleasant one. And his after-sales service has been fantastic and much appreciated.

I had no hesitation in asking Mark to sell my property after I witnessed his outstanding performance for my neighbour. My property was placed on the market just as I was moving interstate. Mark's assistance and advice in helping me prepare the property for sale and subsequently selling the property for a good price, especially during the COVID situation, was second to none. Mark went above and beyond, and I couldn't have done it without him.

We strongly recommend Mark Swift at Standen Estate Agents to anyone looking to sell their property. Mark Swift is a highly professional and personable agent. He is extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the entire process of selling our property with ease, keeping everything clear and stress-free throughout. He was open with all of the information, talked us through any aspects we were unsure of, and pushed constantly to get the best possible outcome for our sale – which he certainly achieved. Mark took the time to listen to any of our concerns and questions, as well as get to know us and understand any issues we may have had. He was always reliable, informed and kept us up to date with everything as it happened throughout our sales journey. There is no question that Mark always had our best interests at heart. He even gave us sound advice and guidance on the next property we were looking to purchase. We’ve honestly never dealt with a real estate agent who is this exceptional in what they do. If you’re looking an agent today – call Mark immediately. You will never regret it.

Mark Swift has certainly delivered a successful outcome by securing a private sale of our property at the desired price with no marketing spend. Overall we were very happy with the professionalism and assistance provided by Mark. Based on our experience, we would highly recommend Mark.

Mark has been the most patient and kind agent I have ever used. I sold my home of nearly thirty years, which in itself was very daunting and sometimes a painful process, Mark was at all times aware of my feelings and handled me with great care. He also got me a great sale and made my moving on process very easy. Yeah, Mark!! Good luck in the future.
