It was such a great experience working with Mark Risley as the listing agent for our home. I expected a nerve-racking ordeal based on previous realtors that I've worked with. But things this time went just perfectly smooth from beginning to end. It's either his extensive experience as a realtor or some sort of sixth sense (or maybe both?) that made the sale go so smoothly. He knew exactly where to price the home to create tons of interest and we had many offers well above the listing price. Prior to putting the house on the market, I had a list of several things that I wanted to replace or improve on and would have spent a bunch of money out of my pocket taking care of. But he said I just needed to focus on interior paint and getting it "staged" with furniture (which he organized for me), and really nothing else. He was 100% correct, as there were 24 showings in the first couple of days! Unbelievable! When we accepted an offer and the buyers came up with a list of things that they wanted addressed, I sort of panicked because I didn't have to the time or knowledge to find/organize the contractors to do the work. But no worries.... Mark does have a list of contractors that can take care of pretty much anything, but he thought it was best to just make some minor financial concession instead and that worked like a charm. The buyers accepted the terms and that was that. The buyers were elated and so were we! Such a Win-Win experience! Again, we were extremely impressed with the way Mark handled the whole process. I would never work with another realtor in the future, other than Mark. He's simply the best!
