I'm a nurse in San Francisco and Mark Peschel helped me buy my very first condo. He's an awesome problem solver- genuine, knowledgeable and has tons of experience. I just feel very lucky to have had his help and advice in a world I know very little about. I am so happy with the outcome. Highly recommend his services.
Mark helped me purchase my very first condo and I am so happy with the outcome. He helped guide me through a world I know little about with his years of experience and clear expertise. Can't thank you enough, Mark. Highly, highly recommend!
With Mark Peschel's help we were able to score a beautiful home, perfect for our little family this May. The housing market is off the charts competitive in San Francisco, yet Mark patiently navigated our requests, wishes, naive questions and all that comes with being a first time buyer. Mark goes the extra mile, which became even more apparent after we had won the offer. Navigating Escrow and working along side his recommended mortgage broker Darik Heaney, we had the winning team to pull together the financial side of things and get us approved in a responsible manner. We're not the "typical" SF homebuyer client, since we own a small business and owning in SF seemed more and more unattainable. Basically, in Mark you'll find a person who truly cares about you, is fun and friendly to work with, and a great collaborator on your adventure to finding a home. His superpower is to stay super relaxed when it gets stressful, he's responsive, extremely knowledgable and easy to work with!
Mark has helped me purchased an apartment and a house in the past 7 years. He has been above and beyond. For both of my purchases, Mark went to talk to other agents and found perfect ones for me. I felt lucky not to go into a crazy bidding war in this market. The second purchase, we were in San Diego during thanksgiving and Mark helped us 'virtual tour' and put an offer letter together while we were away. With being a first time homeowner, my husband and I had no idea about how to go about fixing old SF houses. He gave us so many great contacts and letting us know what is normal in the SF market. We unfortunately had a leak the first week of the purchase (Christmas Eve!) and he helped us get a roof person to patch it and walked us through with a long term plan. With SF, there is a lot of local rules. He is knowledgeable yet will not push you to do anything you're not comfortable with. He genuinely cares about your happiness with the purchase. I've learned a lot from him and I'm definitely going to ask him to help me sell/buy houses in the future. Thank you Mark!
Both my husband and I have worked with Mark multiple times, purchasing & selling properties with him. Mark is very knowledgeable about real estate in San Francisco, but most importantly what we appreciate about Mark is his genuine approach to business and the fact that he has his client's best interest in mind. He is patient and a good listener and always gives valuable advice while not being pushy. We trust Mark and his judgment when it comes to real estate, and we love the fact that he makes every transaction seamless. I would recommend Mark over and over again.
Mark helped my fiance and I buy our first home in San Francisco this year and we can't recommend him highly enough. He was SO responsive, patient and helpful, and took the time to explain each step of the process to us in detail so we felt comfortable and informed the entire journey. He found us an amazing home in our top choice neighborhood before it came on the market, so we could avoid a bidding war in this crazy market. Thank you Mark!!!
Mark handled the sale of our Mother's home after she passed away. He had to impress my 3 siblings that he was the right Realtor for the assignment. He did so very well. And then as we took a serious look at the condition of the house we realized he really had a tough job to do. Long story short, Mark did a great job managing the structural experts and the family. We got it sold in a very smart way to the perfect buyers. He's dedicated and serious about his work. He's a good family man too, who took great care of us.
Mark recently helped me to purchase my first home in San Francisco and I cannot recommend him highly enough! As a first time home buyer, I appreciated that he really took the time to explain things to me and make me feel comfortable throughout the buying process. He has a calm and patient demeanor, while at the same time being completely on top of all of the moving pieces that go into a home purchase. His experience and guidance were essential when evaluating potential properties as well as for dealing with some issues that came up during our closing process. Communication was always quick and easy, which was helpful in this competitive and fast-paced market. I definitely plan to work with Mark again for any future home sales or purchases.
Mark guided us through our first home purchase amidst the insanity that is San Francisco. Throughout the process he was incredibly patient, thorough, empathetic, diligent and had our best interests at heart. We didn't make it easy. He stayed with us through several years of questioning our timing, approach, goals etc. Mark is a seasoned pro in SF, well networked, and he understands the dynamics of this market very well. He's helped several of our friends buy and sell their places. We've all had good experiences. It was a crazy journey, but I am writing this recommendation from a home I love.
3 successful San Francisco real estate transactions over the span of 7 years. Mark provided excellent guidance and support along the way, he is very knowledgeable, meticulous and dependable. Very well connected in the SF real estate world (financing, escrow, etc.), has a great back-office team, which makes a big difference when it comes to a successful close, be that a sale or a purchase. Highly recommended!
From the very beginning, Mark was very informative and patient with me because I was very inexperienced in Real Estate. He was always positive and explained things in a cohesive manner. He always answered all of my questions no matter how inexperienced they might have seemed, and had a very patient attitude with me and managed to guide me through the process resulting in seamless experience I would definitely recommend Mark to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Mark is absolutely one of a kind, simply The Best Realtor. He is knowledgeable, friendly, honest and his communication skills are unparalleled. Mark is incredibly responsive to any and all communications and shares his wisdom calmly and with great clarity. Mark has an incredible work ethic. From November 2023 to April 2024 Mark met us at any time, in any corner of the city and in any weather-- crazy winter rainstorm, no problem at all-- to see all sorts of properties. Mark is way into house hunting; he loves his work. Mark enjoys the learning process (no matter that he's been in the business for over twenty years) and helped us grow to love it as well, over the months we searched for our home. What a treasure! Agents far and wide beamed when we mentioned that Mark was our agent; he is beloved. Mark has a heart of gold and sharp business acumen. His advice is sage, his energy bright, and his demeanor relaxed and present. Mark is completely trustworthy. You will not meet another agent who works as hard for your dream as Mark Peschel. Look no further if you have the good fortune to have found him in your corner.
We recently sold our home in San Francisco and did not hesitate to reach out to Mark again who had helped us buy it almost 10 years ago. Mark took the time to explain the process of selling, our options around staging, marketing and provided information and guidance without rushing or pushing us. He tailored his communication with us to our needs (via iMessage group) and Google docs, checked in the right amount of times and kept us informed throughout the entire process. The tools he used to gather all the disclosures were easy to use and made this otherwise daunting process simpler. We were also happy with the professionals Mark used for the home inspection and especially the photographer who did an excellent job. Once we got an offer, Mark facilitated the process so everything completed on time without hiccups, which is incredibly important during a usually both stressful and emotional time. We've crossed paths with many realtors in San Francisco when we were looking for homes or going to open houses, but really connected with Mark due to his personable, calm and professional demeanor. I very much recommend Mark whether you're buying or selling your home in the city.
Mark was a pleasure to work with! His promptness, deep knowledge of the San Francisco market, and courteous professionalism made the challenging process of buying a home in such a competitive city feel manageable. Mark was resourceful, guiding us through every step and ensuring no detail was overlooked. Closing a deal in San Francisco is no small feat, but with Mark’s expertise and dedication, we closed on our dream home.
We recently sold our condo in San Francisco with the expert help of Mark Peschel. During our first meeting, he explained in detail the selling process. He toured the condo with us and suggested ways to make it more appealing to potential buyers. He also explained the new commission structure for real estate agents.
After talking to other prospective agents, we decided Mark was the right choice. He then arranged for all the trades people and obtained proposals for our review. He coordinated schedules and oversaw the work. It resulted in a very appealing photographic marketing presentation.
After considering market comparable properties which he assembled and provided to us, Mark suggested a realistic offering price which was intended to draw buyer interested and encourage higher bids. His strategy worked, with the final sale price significantly over the asking price. Overall, our experience with Mark was very positive. We would recommend him to any other potential clients.
We honestly could not have asked for a better agent. Mark is a great listener - he really tailored the search to our wants and needs. But at the same time, he gently expanded our sense of the possibilities and helped us find something we wouldn’t have had the context to understand or navigate on our own. He was super accommodating of our schedule and the times we needed to bring our kids to showings, and was also just a pleasure to be around. We just passed the year anniversary of our home purchase and we literally wake up every day so happy and grateful to be where we are. Thank you, Mark!
Mark is truly one of a kind. I came to him after two previous failed attempts at purchasing a home, feeling utterly discouraged. However the moment we connected, I knew things would be different. His vast knowledge and experience in the SF housing market combined with his attentiveness and meticulous problem solving skills helped me close on the first property I submitted an offer on. While in escrow Mark was always calm, dependable, and brought creative solutions to the table when issues arose. He made my experience as a first time home buyer a truly memorable one and I can’t thank him enough. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends and family.
Mark is the best of the best. He has represented us in three different San Francisco properties spanning 15 years. In our most recent sale he was onsite helping arrange contractors and legal requirements daily - for weeks - to prepare our unit for sale. He has the best painter, floor refinisher, stager, cleaner, handyman and more. The prices and work completed was perfect, while he oversaw the entire process. I can't begin to say how fortunate we were to have such a hands-on realtor. He was also updating us daily and making sure we were on time with our listing and had all our documents done perfectly. With all the requirements for sale there is no way we could have sold our unit without him. He closed the sale in two weeks also. We have purchased property with Mark as well, and again, he got us the best price and found us a perfect property at that time. He knows every detail about current market conditions, and is well respected by countless other professionals meaning hitch-free sales, and purchases. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL!
I know it’s been a while but Mark helped us purchase our home 19 years ago, and we still look back on that experience with gratitude as we did really had a difficult seller. From the very beginning, Mark demonstrated professional expertise making the entire home-buying process smooth and enjoyable. Even after nearly two decades, we remember how professional, knowledgeable, and supportive Mark was throughout every step. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and our positive memory of working with Mark has truly stood the test of time. If you’re looking for someone who will guide you with expertise and genuine care, we highly recommend Mark Peschel.
I met Mark while networking in my professional capacity as an attorney. I am very impressed not only with his professional knowledge but also with his passion for his work and the care he shows for his clients. He is extremely reliable, an excellent communicator and has a warm and welcoming personality. I would trust him with any of my clients looking to purchase or sell a home, knowing that he will guide them through every step of the process and ensure they feel taken care of while navigating obstacles during often very complex real estate transactions.
