Barbara Mark

Barbara Mark is what one looks for in an agent to assist in your home sale. She is very detailed oriented and communicates with all information during your sale. Barbara goes above her required responsibilities to ensure your sale goes as smoothly as possible. She has assisted us with two home sales and would recommend her to anyone.

Barbara was wonderful to work with! With us relocating to another state quickly for a new job opportunity, we knew that Barb was the right person for the job. Barb was very helpful with getting everything done, scheduling the inspections and having any concerns taken care of for us.

Barbara Mark is a wonderful person. Never had a bad or negative comment on my property or the process of selling my home. I felt comfortable with Barb with every aspect of the real estate process. She listened to me and was very supportive in every way.

I've worked with Barbara for months to find the perfect home in the right area for me. After a few times of postponing my home search due to not seeing anything on the market to my liking, Barbara was only one call away whenever I was ready to start looking at homes again. She was such a huge help dealing with different lenders, finding out in-depth house information, and going above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with every decision I made. She did not just want to get a sale done but she actually cared that I was happy with the purchase. I appreciated that more than ever! She is an absolutely amazing agent, I highly recommend!

Barbara Mark is the most amazing agent you could possibly have! We met her through our Aunt who had a few bad experiences with other agents, and fortunately crossed paths with Barb at an open house. Barb helped her to close on her home, as well as another family members home afterward. So when it was my turn, my Aunt made sure we went with Barb also, and we have ZERO regrets! To say she went above and beyond is an understatement. She is so kind, caring, patient, and understanding. She is so knowledgeable of houses, and she voiced her opinion when she would notice things that we were not trained to see, and made sure wherever we chose would be safe for our children. If it weren't for her we probably would have settled for anything and because of her we landed the house of our dreams! We are so blessed to have had Barb on this journey with us, mentoring us and steering us in the right direction! We couldn't have found another agent more perfect for us! We appreciate you so much Barb!

Barbara Went above and beyond. All my concerns were addressed and if I had questions she would research the answers for me to help me make a better decision on my home purchase

I am thrilled with my new home thank you Barbara for everything

She encompasses what a true real estate agent should represent.. it was easy to give her excellent in character and performance

Barbara went above and beyond anything we could of expected from a realtor. Polite respectful and always answered any questions we had and if she didn't know the answer she found someone who could help, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

She is a excellent realtor. Goes above and beyond. We would highly recommend her.

This review is LONG overdue!!!!

This was my first time purchasing a home. I was told by many people, that the first home buying experience is horrible, impossible, and lengthy. I can confidentially say I did not encounter any of those issues. I was referred to Barbara Mark by my mom, who was very adamant about using her as my realtor. When I first started looking at homes, I was living 2 hours away and finishing my last month of work so my availability was very very limited. Despite some of the obstacles that were in the way, Barbara still decided to work with me, and for that I am so thankful. Barbara is very very thorough, professional and very smart. I went into this experience not knowing anyyything.. trully anything about what I was getting myself into. The thing that stood out to me the most about Barbara is her attention to detail. Boy is she sharp!!!! Barbara always came prepared to answer any and all of my questions, she always had an extra copy of the information about the house we were looking at, and she remembered tiny details about me that I forgot I even told her. It is clear that her goal is to find a home that best fits your needs, rather than just selling you any home and I truly believe and saw that. She never rushed me to make a decision even though I loved almost every home I looked at, but encouraged me to think about the pros and cons of each house. After I found the house that I was going to purchase, I was told I needed to take a "first homeowner" course. Lucky for me, it was a breeze because Barbara taught me SO much WHILE we were house shopping, so this course would have taken much longer for me to finish had she not be so thorough in teaching me. She didn't have to either!!! She basically taught me what this course taught me, but simplified it for me and explained it to me in a way I would understand. I would absolutely, positively, HIGHLY recommend Barbara to anyone who is purchasing a home...first time or 10th time because she cares about each and every one of her customers. She took me under her wing and treated me like her own, and there was never a time that I felt like I couldn't call or text her when I had questions. To give you an idea of how amazing she is, here is a breakdown of my oh so very short but amazing experience with Barbara...

March 11 2022: Pre-approved, still living 2 hours away

May 6 2022: closed on house

I couldn't have asked for a smoother or quicker process during the most hectic time in the real estate market. I could go on for 18 pages front and back on my experience with Barbara, but I will end it with this...look no further, get on a wait list if she isn't available to work with and trust me when I say that you will find the home you've been dreaming of. I found mine!!

Thank you so much Barbara! I couldn't have done it without you and the rest of the staff at Century 21!

We have worked with Barbara Mark twice now to purchase a rental and once to sell a rental. She impressed us the first time we met her when she showed us a home and walked through the entire house with us and pointed out things, both good and bad about the house. No other realtor had done that in our rental home search. Since that first meeting, Barbara has been on top of everything, informing us promptly through the process and going above to help us buy this home with a short deadline.

Barbara excels in all the above areas. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

Barbara did EVERYTHING in her power to help us get the house we are in! She is very knowledgeable and helped us understand the money aspect of purchasing a home. I wouldn't chose anyone else to use as a realtor

I can't express how helpful Barbara was enough! Between helping hold the baby as we did walk throughs to dealing with our crazy schedule with my husband being away , she really has exceeded the expectations I had of a realtor! What an amazing realtor and person she is!

Excellent service and understands our needs.

Exelente

Barbara Mark had a good deal of perseverance trying to sell my building which was a church built around 1946. The first buyers were a young couple who built another room in the sanctuary but then could not get the necessary loan. We both felt very badly about this. Barbara empathized with the couple in this situation. She had several buyers in similar situations where additional work needed to be done prior to selling and I imagine she handled each situation as patiently and as kindly as she did with me.

Barbara Mark managed a very active and hectic first two weeks of showings and inquiries professionally and kept me appraised at each interval.

Her broker, Kevin Smith was a great help and creative in tapping his many years of experience to quickly resolve some surprise title issues that arose.

Barbara did everything well, she is a credit to her profession and an asset to your company!

I am writing this specifically because it is exactly how I came to choose Barbara Mark as my Real Estate Agent; through the testimonials I read about other client's experiences with her. I was in a particularly difficult situation, having looked at other properties with other agents with no success. I came to Barbara asking for her help, and even after hearing the details of my story, she still agreed to become my agent. I found her to be extremely attentive to my specific needs and always responded to me in a timely manner no matter how busy she was. Due to the urgency of my situation, she became relentless in her pursuit of a home for me to purchase, taking me wherever I needed to go even if the home was located out of her immediate service area. I found her to be quite knowledgeable about the basic construction of homes so that as we did our walk through of each property, her observations were key to my decision making process. Always full of helpful suggestions and new ways of perceiving something, I found her ideas to be particularly insightful. Her vast knowledge of real estate and how it applied to my situation, proved to be an invaluable asset as we moved forward through the process. Overall, she was always there for me, helping me, guiding me. But no matter what my decision, she always supported the direction I chose to go in, an incredible asset in my search for a new home. I was successful, and am writing this from the log cabin I was able to purchase up in the Ricketts Glen State Park area with the help and expertise of Barbara Mark.

Before we started working with Barbara, we had spent several months working with another agent and had no luck finding a house. We were lucky enough to find Barbara and as soon as we started working with her, things became much easier. We found our dream home within several weeks of working with her. Barbara was very helpful and made the house buying process very easy. She explained everything in detail and made sure we understood everything. Barbara was very supportive and we are very thankful for her.

We met Barabara as we were looking for houses in the area. She was proactive to help us even when she found out the move could not take place until we sold our out-of-state house. She kept up with communication and was there on the spot when our house sold. We arrived in the area and she immediately provided options to us.

She followed every conversation up with email. She knew the area well. When we asked to see a house, she immediately lined up a showing. She gave us inside into potential issues with houses. She worked for us, not just for a sale.

Barabara was 100% for us and treated us like family. Some email communications were unclear due to the amount of paperwork being exchanged. Barbara cleared up any questions or concerns immediately.

Barbara went the extra mile. Sellers removed swings from the swingset that we thought would be left (Swingset was listed as a property to stay and of course we assumed swings would be included). Barbara provided two of her own swings so our 3-year-old grandaughter could swing immediately at the new house.

She was also patient in us replying to this survey, we were busy moving and she understood and resent the survey!

Thank you, Barbara!
