As first-time buyers in 2005, Mark guided us through every step, representing us with energy and warmth. His advice was always spot-on, and his professional and personable nature helped us to negotiate a winning offer. In 2021, Mark oversaw our purchase of a vacation home. Mark’s knowledge, professionalism and terrific instincts guided us through to an excellent outcome. One can always trust that he is on top of every detail, which brings great peace of mind in any real estate transaction.

Mark was always extremely patient and never pressured us. Buying a home can be a scary, unfamiliar, and emotional process, but the comfort level Mark provided, his sensibility, and his knowledge shared was invaluable. We were able to make clearer decisions. Mark championed our intuitions, was a great listener, and provided clear and open guidance. He was always timely with responses and knew when and what to do at the right times. We always felt like Mark had our best interests in mind.

Mark provided expert guidance for me for the Pasadena home that I recently purchased. He put me in touch with a loan officer to help me secure the necessary loan weeks in advance, set up 4 different inspectors back to back for me in under 24-hours, and guided me on the winning strategy that ultimately proved to be the winning offer (there was a bidding war on this house). I could not have navigated the technicalities of this process without Mark's calm, knowledgeable and reassuring presence.

Mark did an excellent job selling our home in Pasadena. The house went on the market in the midst of a global health crises and Mark managed to attract multiple offers while adhering to strict safety standards. He supported our strategy for pricing by providing reliable market data for our consideration. Throughout the escrow process Mark offered assistance and guidance until the very final day. He was a pleasure to work with and I'd gladly recommend him to anyone.

I worked with Mark on the purchase of a house in 2006. Mark listened to what I thought would be important in a house and understood the type of property I wanted to secure. Mark negotiated all the extras we needed to make us feel like we were getting a fair deal and long term value.

Mark sold our home and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. He ran flawless – and busy – open houses, and negotiated a higher price when we went into multiple offers. He is an absolute dream to work with and a consummate professional throughout the entire process: before the house went on the market, throughout the brief time it was listed on the MLS, and all through the closing. Mark is confident, savvy, enthusiastic, and completely committed to his clients!

I have worked with Mark since '03 and continue to be impressed by his professionalism and level of service. Since meeting by chance at an open house he was listing, he worked with me on buying my first condo. When it came time to sell that condo, he explained his strategy in pricing it aggressively, which resulted in quick transaction and nice profit for me. More recently, he worked with my partner and me when he bought our townhome. We consider Mark a friend and will continue to work with him.

Mark recently helped us to purchase a home in the Hollywood Hills. After an exhaustive search of almost a year, with lots of restrictions on budget, location to work, style, etc – we were able to find a home. Mark jumped in full force, and worked us – first time home buyers to boot – through a very difficult process with ease, confidence and support. We got our house, and we LOVE it. We could not recommend him highly enough. Best of all, he’s a great guy and someone we’re proud to call a friend!

I’m a first time home buyer and had a great experience working with Mark! He was always available, patiently answered my questions and made sure that the house closed in a timely fashion. From recommending a great loan consultant and inspector to negotiating a credit from the seller, Mark managed the process every step of the way. I highly recommend Mark and will definitely work with him on any future residential real estate transactions.

Thank you for selling my condo in the Hollywood Hills in a very short time period after hiring you as my real estate agent. The condo achieved the highest selling price for a comparable unit in my building. Already after our first meeting I was convinced about your professionalism and discretion. So thank you again, for handling the whole selling process and the paperwork so flawlessly and in this short time period.

I met Mark at a home he had listed and I felt like he would be the right agent to represent me on the purchase of our house. Mark paid attention to all the details in the transaction and made me feel confident about the big decisions we were making when buying our house. He explained the contract and terms we were agreeing and represented our best interest while negotiating important terms on our behalf. We are so glad to have worked with Mark and that he helped us secure a wonderful home!

We had used two other high-powered brokers who attempted to sell our property before Mark Jerusalem was referred to us. From our first meeting, we liked his sales presentation and enthusiasm. Mark delivered everything he promised: outstanding marketing materials, excellent photography, frequent communication and an effective website. Within two days of the first open house, Mark managed to present us with an incredible all cash offer at full list price that we accepted.

I have worked with Mark on various transactions. In 2008, Mark sold a home for me where he had been instrumental in preparing the house to go on the market (restoration, staging, marketing). Within two weeks of coming on the market, multiple offers came in over the asking price. The escrow process was handled smoothly and professionally with a very quick process to closing. Mark also represented me on a home purchase in 2009. We are thrilled with our home and thank Mark for all of his expertise!

We contacted Mark Jerusalem after he represented our neighbors on the sale of their property. Impressed by the high sales price he was able to achieve within a short period, we wanted to learn more about his marketing and sales strategies to sell our home. A great characteristic about Mark is that he is so approachable and made us feel comfortable in representing us in the sale of our home – no pressure and no façade compared to other agents we had experienced.

We presented him with a home that we saw was foreclosed. Mark was able to find the listing agent and knew everything from when it would go on sale to how much money would be required to buy. Everything came together quickly and we got the home, all thanks to the thoroughness of Mark.
