insight and positive attitude

“When I decided to put my house on the market in Spring 2009, I wanted to find the right real estate entity. My concerns included the fact that the house was a unique one of a kind property. It was a small architectural gem on a triple lot in Hyde Park. It was not traditional in concept or plan. It consisted of two separate living spaces: a main house of approximately 1,000 sf and a separate casita or guest house of approximately 600 sf. The sale price was $400.00 per square foot. The house would not appeal to just anyone. The real estate market was at the absolute bottom of the curve. Finally the house was not totally finished.

I interviewed several real estate agents. They all told me how unique the property was and enumerated the negatives to a sale. Mark Strub came in and told me how wonderful the house was and how much it would mean to him to participate in such sale. He said it would simply take the right buyer. He had really creative approaches to the marketing of the house and was always energetic, enthusiastic and truly interested in the project. He was very good about keeping me apprised of the status throughout the entire time.
Mark Strub, I am convinced, was the only person with the insight and positive attitude to tackle such a set of circumstances. I cannot say enough good things about him. Do you realize how rare that statement is in the industry?
I would recommend, and do recommend Mark to anyone who needs to buy or sell real estate. He is a talented and genuine person and a really nice person as well.”
