" Mark Munro was professional, patient, efficient and a pleasure to work with. I have been looking to buy a home for well over a year and he always made time to show me homes and accommodated my crazy schedule. I used Mr. Munro for this most recent purchase and have used him in the past for a prior sale/purchase. He is truly the only realtor I trust. "

- Timi C. Allegretti

" We recently bought house with Mark as our agent. He is eager to know what the buyer really wants, very patient and peaceful while working with the buyers. He is knowledgeable about the marked, very reasonable at estimating the value of a house and guiding us through the entire process. He introduced us to a team of very professional mortgage agent attorney and home inspectors who were very knowledgeable and really good at their work. I had a planned vacation out of country which I thought I might have to cancel when I offered for a house we liked. But they took care of the entire mortgage approval process and coordinated with me while I was out of country on a vacation. I am glad I chose Mark as our agent and took his advices and recommendation. Thanks Mark for help us find our little nest.!! "

" Mark Munro was recommended to us by our friend who bought a house 4 years ago with Mark’s help. Mark was so patient from the first house showing until well after closing. Based on the criteria we had set to search the house, he recommended us different area. He was very accommodating to schedule the properties, even sometimes he adjusted when we asked to schedule some property in less than 5 hrs. He was always available and answered each and every question we had. Besides showing the properties he shared the information about all other steps and gave very good ideas on house maintenance as well. He was very honest, detailed oriented and highly knowledgeable and always gave us pros or cons us of a property like a proficient inspector.He showed us more than 50 house and prepared offer for 5 properties and then too we never saw a single sign of frustration. He made sure we have a smooth closing. Even after closing, he cheerfully recommended us contractors and other service providers for the service we had to do on our house. We highly recommend Mark Munro without any reservations. In the future, if we ever decide to move, we will definitely use Mark again to both sell our home and find a new one. "

" Mark was the most professional and the most helpful agent we ever worked with. He knew how to help with every question we had. It didn't matter how detailed or complex our questions were he was always able to confidently help us or refer us to an expert who could help. His patience, calmness and professionalism in the home search process was key to a great experience for us in general while hunting and ultimately finding our dream home. At the end we found a home which wasn't even listed yet and which he found due to his contacts, standing and experience in the industry. This is when an agent really becomes a partner and adds tremendous value. Without Mark´s help we would very likely not have found this home in time. As in any business it proves to be true that having the right network is everything. With all the great additional services Mark provided it goes without saying that he is a Master of all the "to be expected" services. He was always on time, always professional, took his time during the showings and helped us to see things which we didn't consider. He also warned us about certain things or facts he saw when necessary which was MUCH appreciated and is not something all agents do as it might extend the searchz and buying process. Mark was also a great consultant and always available during our closing process. We would definitely absolutely recommend Mark Munro to anybody who wants to find their perfect dream home or sell with Mark who we have full confidence in will always be helping his clients to find the sweet spot between the maximum achievable price and time on market. We truly believe that there are not many more capable agents than Mark out there. "

" Mark was quite knowledgeable, always ready to take the time to explain the parts of the process. Had a strong feel for what to do in getting ready and good people to contact for taking care things. "

- Benjamin Rigby

" Mark's patience and diligence with these first-time homebuyers did not go unnoticed. He educated us about our target markets and taught us what to look for – both good and bad. When we found the home we were looking for, Mark closed the deal that evening and kept us out of a costly bidding war. We are so pleased with the results and the service Mark provided. He is a consummate professional. "

- Aaron and Kristin Fluitt

" This past summer my wife and I decided to take the plunge and move from the city out the suburbs. We had a particularly bad experience with our last real estate agent so we were very cautious in choosing a new agent to help us find a home. After sitting down with Mark for an hour and a half my concerns were put to rest. Professional and experienced, I got the feeling that Mark would not let us down in our search. During the 2 months that followed Mark showed his patience and willingness to do anything to help us find a home. We had tight time constraints and Mark would block out an entire day to show us up to 15 homes in one day! He has incredible knowledge when it comes to the homes structurally as well. Knew what to look for, and took the time to show us what he was seeing and explain what would go behind repairing or upgrading. He also seemed to have endless connections when it came to electricians, plumbers, home inspectors, and so on. We got into several bidding wars on a few homes, and Mark's insight was spot on. He gave us honest advice on possible outcomes depending on our actions. We lost out on both homes, but Mark kept a positive attitude and encouraged us to remain hopeful in our search. Eventually we found a home that we couldn't have been happier with. Mark's knowledge of neighborhoods, home owning costs, and experience of what a growing family may need helped us make a decision that we were 100% sure about. I would highly recommend Mark to any one looking for a home in the North West suburbs. He made it his personal mission to make sure we were happy, and I know he would do the same for another family. "

- Jason Janowick

" Mark has always been loyal and honest with us. He helped us get out of our condo 8 years ago. When we were on the fence to sell again, he gave us honest facts and what he thought was best for us, not for him. Once we put the house on the market, we had a contract on our house in 1.5 weeks! We then needed to find a new place. He was very helpful in regards to also finding another home in such short notice. We are thankful for his mentorship and that he took time to make sure that we were well taken care of. "

- Julieanne and Daniel Tehan

" Mark did a great job working with my Mom to sell her property in Fox Point. He was always on top of things and helped to guide her every step of the way! "

- Elizabeth Joyce

" We recently used Mark Munro to sell our home. Mark was knowledgeable, articulate, professional and fun to work with. He patiently guided us through all the ups and downs of the process and introduced us to a team of other professionals needed - handyman, stager and attorney. All did their jobs well. His analysis of the value of our home was spot on. We sold our home quickly and at a good price. We thank Mark for his great work and would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to purchase or sell a home. "

" I have very high standards on how I conduct business and who I engage with to represent my interests. I found Mark to be orders of magnitude more professional and capable than others. Mark did a terrific job marketing our house and advising us throughout the process and in the end we had dual offers on our house and accepted the one that was above our listed price. "

- Martin Savitt

" Mark Munro was incredibly caring, patient and professional when I needed to find a new home. He instinctively knew what I was looking for after visiting a few listings. He steered me toward homes that he thought would interest me. He also encouraged me to look at a listing if I thought I'd like it even though he was fairly sure I wouldn't. He was always correct! Mark has a keen eye when it comes to the overall maintenance of a house trying to insure that I had a solid, well maintained home for me and my daughter. He was able to recommend several people to assist me and walked me through the closing, reminding me of the different steps I needed to complete too. Buying a home can be overwhelming and Mark assisted me literally from beginning to end. I lucked out having Mark as my realtor. "

" Nancy and I are very grateful for Mark Munro's handling of our house sale which closed on August 20. He negotiated very well with the buyer, and kept us posted on a timely basis.

- Bruce Grabenkort

" Mark was always very willing to do whatever it took to help. He made himself available as much as humanly possible to go see properties based on our schedule. He answered questions at all hours, and really helped guide us through the process since this was our first time buying a house. The thing I liked most about working with Mark was how detail oriented he was, he was always quick to notice and point out imperfections with a property and gave an honest answer as to how much of a potential problem that could have been. Anything from a chip in the floor to major damage or wanting to avoid well water, Mark made us aware of what the ramifications of these things could be if we chose to buy the property. Would recommend to anyone "

- Tom Trainor

" Mark was highly professional demonstrated great knowledge, not only of the local market, but how broader trends were impacting our sale. He provided insight and measured counsel at key points in the sales process and final transactions. In selling a house, one needs to rely on an expert like Mark: homeowners "just don't do this enough" to always make the right decisions. "

" Mark was amazing to work with from start to finish. This was my first time selling a house and he was patient with me explaining the steps, how to prepare my house, and determine the list price. My home was in need of staging help and he connected me with Mary Loughman of Harmony Home Staging who did an amazing job utilizing my own furniture and household items. Mark covered all the bases to ensure the house sold quickly, including lining up several viewings the day the house was listed. I received my 1st offer for all cash just under list in one day and accepted an all-cash offer over list on day two. Mark walked me through the steps of the home inspection and the process of closing, all of which went smoothly and happened quickly. I highly recommend Mark Munro for anyone buying or selling their home. "
