Testimonials

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Markus Feldman. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. His guidance was far more than just directional, but educational. He is honest, professional yet, hands-on (he took the time to help us understand the complexities of the real estate market and process). I mean, who truly knows the “why” to the stack of documents that must be signed. Well, Markus does, and he sure did a great job explaining exactly that. We never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the "one" and ended up in a bidding war, Markus walked us through every step of the negotiations, even suggesting that we write a letter to the sellers to explain why we thought they should choose us. It was an unconventional approach but it worked and we thank Markus for that every day! But, that’s part of what makes…

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Markus Feldman. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. His guidance was far more than just directional, but educational. He is honest, professional yet, hands-on (he took the time to help us understand the complexities of the real estate market and process). I mean, who truly knows the “why” to the stack of documents that must be signed. Well, Markus does, and he sure did a great job explaining exactly that. We never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the "one" and ended up in a bidding war, Markus walked us through every step of the negotiations, even suggesting that we write a letter to the sellers to explain why we thought they should choose us. It was an unconventional approach but it worked and we thank Markus for that every day! But, that’s part of what makes him so great, his unconventional approach. He strategically tailors his approach to each of his clients and their unique circumstances to successfully help them sell or purchase a home. To simply put it, our circumstances were far from ideal. With a credit score near fair prior to closing, minimum down payment, and hoping for an FHA loan, we managed to secure a beautiful condo in Rancho Bernardo overlooking the fairway of hole 15. This is nothing less than a miracle and couldn’t have been done without the service of Markus. Markus wasn’t just our realtor; he was our advocate, and in the process became a true friend.

My experience with Markus is different than the other rave reviews you’ll read about him because there wasn’t a sale or a purchase. But that doesn’t mean Markus failed. Quite the opposite! Let me explain: After 20 years of owning and restoring a beautiful historic home on a street of friendly neighbors in a neighborhood to-die-for, a series of health setbacks led to financial debts that I could no longer handle. I didn’t want to sell my home, but I couldn’t see any other solution for remedying my situation and reducing my stress. Markus came highly recommended to me by my cousin and his wife and within minutes of meeting him, I could see why. Markus is professional, courteous, prompt, compassionate, hard-working, ethical, funny, intelligent (he has two law degrees and the wisdom to not be a lawyer!), and he genuinely cares about his clients. Indeed, you could make a list of all the posit…

My experience with Markus is different than the other rave reviews you’ll read about him because there wasn’t a sale or a purchase. But that doesn’t mean Markus failed. Quite the opposite! Let me explain: After 20 years of owning and restoring a beautiful historic home on a street of friendly neighbors in a neighborhood to-die-for, a series of health setbacks led to financial debts that I could no longer handle. I didn’t want to sell my home, but I couldn’t see any other solution for remedying my situation and reducing my stress. Markus came highly recommended to me by my cousin and his wife and within minutes of meeting him, I could see why. Markus is professional, courteous, prompt, compassionate, hard-working, ethical, funny, intelligent (he has two law degrees and the wisdom to not be a lawyer!), and he genuinely cares about his clients. Indeed, you could make a list of all the positive adjectives in the dictionary and the vast majority would apply to Markus. I know this to be true because after listing my home, marketing it (friends were amazed by the high caliber of the campaign he created), negotiating with realtors, presenting me with buyers’ offers, and showing me options in my new price range, Markus understood when I said to him, “I can’t do it. I can’t sell.” Here’s the thing at the very last minute, friends, family members, and neighbors “came out of the woodwork” with ideas and new solutions for me regarding my financial situation. All agreed I shouldn’t sell the home I dearly loved. Some of their ideas were even pretty good and gave me the confidence to change course. The hardest part was telling Markus, but while doing so, his integrity was revealed most clearly he truly wanted what was best for me. It wasn’t an act; he IS that rare person who puts others before himself. I hope Markus never has another client like me one who changes his and her mind at the last minute. But if he does, I know he will treat that client with respect and kindness and, like me, that client will become a fan of Markus for life!
