Mark and Cindy(Realtor who did house showings for us) are truly professionals. I enjoyed the whole experience of working with them. If I might make a suggestion... would it be possible for a buyer, after an offer has been made, to obtain a second phone number for Mark ? A few times, it was a little difficult to contact Mark on the phone. I think it was because your company is growing in leaps and bounds. However, at all times, I was totally confident in Mark's abilities. I will certainly recommend your company and Mark.

My experience with Mark and Patrick Lusk (DuPage County agent) was great. They were willing and able to answer my questions, but did not really try to push any particular property. They were generally able to work with my weekend-only viewing schedules. They helped me all the way from locating a place, through the offer process, and showed up at the closing. It was great to have a buyer-oriented team on my side!

Our experience with Redfin was great. Both Mark and the field agent we worked with, Cindy Haan were excellent. They did a great job of taking their cue from us; if we expressed a desire for more of their input/guidance, they provided it, but were not overbearing and let us lead when we wanted to. I can highly recommend using redfin to purchase, especially if you are familiar with the area you are looking to purchase.

Mark has been very responsive and helpful. We requested to tour the house we eventually bought in the evening of the day the house was listed. Mark got us into the house the next day (which was a Sunday) and helped us prepare, negotiate, and secure a signed contract within 24 hours. If you want a good deal, someone who can act that fast and refund you half of the commissions is your top choice.

We have been quite happy with Mark Reitman (and Patrick Lusk). Both Mark and Patrick have been responsive to our many questions and requests. On occasion we've had to schedule some last minute tours and Patrick has been very accommodating. We look forward to working with Mark and Patrick and, hopefully, closing on a house that would meet "most" of our requirements.

He was always responsive and quick to return my calls, making sure I never felt like I was flying solo on any decision.

The experience has been amazing. Being a first time buyer, I had lots of questions. Marks was very patient either answering my questions or helping me find the right person to get the answers. The process of buying a condo is not easy, especially with the new regulation changes and busy re-finance market. Mark guided me through the entire process and helped me make the best decisions. I must have called Mark hundreds of times in the past few month, and his response has always been very prompt and I never had to wait for more than a couple hours to get the info from him. Before the closing, the buyer's agent was out of town and didn't want to show the condo for a walk through. Mark contacted him, his company and the attorney, in the end, I was able to get into the condo and do a thorough inspection before the closing! Overall, the service from Mark and Redfin was spectacular and I would recommend everyone to give it a try!

We were first-time homebuyers and appreciated Mark's relaxed style throughout the entire process. He was always willing to answer our questions in a timely manner, and his referrals for the inspector and attorney were very helpful. Mark was on top of deadlines and communicated frequently with the seller's agent, our attorney, and our lender to keep things moving. We could have used more guidance on our initial offer. Overall, our experience was extremely stressful, but Mark was a huge positive.

Mark Reitman and Redfin were just the kind of service my husband and I were looking for as first-time homebuyers. We took as many tours as we needed, and Mark was game for whatever we needed/wanted to do. No judgement, no pressure--we were in the driver's seat and Mark was our very helpful navigator. He very astutely point out or remind us about things we didn't know or had forgotten about (i.e. a final walk-through). It is clear Mark is a pro. Mark was available when we needed him, always within a reasonable amount of time and was especially quick with email, which I really appreciated. Overall, my husband and I whole-heartedly recommend Mark Reitman and Redfin and look forward to working with him again down the road.

I am an attorney but do not practice in real estate, so it was nice to have Mark available as a resource. From our offer until closing (and even afterwards), I picked his brain regarding a number of issues, and his opinions and advice were always useful. We probably weren't the easiest clients to work with (we searched for our house for months and went on quite a few tours), but Mark was very patient with us. It didn't seem to be quite as easy to get hold of Mark via telephone, but he did respond to my emails promptly and thoroughly every time. And he isn't just available M-F from 9-5; Mark worked with us a number of times over the weekend or at night. I would (and have) recommended Redfin to others, and I would not hesitate to use Mark again in the future.

Our experience with Redfin, particularly Mark, was amazing! The website is so much more efficient than having someone guess what you will like, and after that Mark handled everything I would have expected an agent to handle and beyond. We were undoubtedly far more work than most agents would want to deal with and Mark always seemed thrilled to hear from us. After 8 months and one failed deal we finally found the place of our dreams. I highly recommend Redfin and Mark to everyone I talk to!

Mark and Redfin were exactly what we were looking for. Mark was extraordinarily responsive - literally responding to emails within minutes, even at night and over the weekend. We're first-time buyers, and he walked us through the process and answered all of our questions thoroughly. We were moving from across the country, and he helped us with all sorts of local information, from home inspectors to phone companies. We were in touch so frequently that I joked with him at the final inspection that I felt like after the close I'd be losing my best friend. If we had one minor gripe, it would only be that in retrospect we wish he had guided us to negotiate a little more aggressively with the seller. But overall a stellar experience, and we would definitely return to Mark and Redfin.

Our experience with Redfin, Mark, and Greg has been nothing short of fantastic. As first time homebuyers, we were at first hesitant towards taking an alternative route to buying a home through Redfin. Mark made himself available to our many questions at all times of the day, and all days of the week. Our mortgage broker also commented to us that of all real estate agents she has worked with in the past, Mark was one of the easiest to work with. We will highly recommend Redfin to anyone we know searching for a home. I wish you guys the best of luck in expanding the Chicago market!
