Client Testimonials

I met Mark Hutchins in October of 2008 when I contacted him to help me look for a home for an out-of-town friend who wanted to move back to the Bay Area. That search culminated in a purchase for my friend and from then on, Mark has been my friend and Real Estate Agent. He has helped me through some very complicated and stressful transactions, somehow always able to calmly help me to understand the intricacies of each undertaking.

In one particularly complicated deal involving lot splits, partial releases from banks and numerous county issues, our title officer said she knew of only a handful of agents in Sonoma County who could successfully orchestrate such a complicated deal. He was vital to the timely completion of this transaction. Simply put, I could not have done it without Mark. All told, Mark has helped me with 8 transactions (and working on another), some representing me as a seller, some as a buyer and some in an advisory position. He has been stellar in all capacities.

I would highly recommend Mark Hutchins as a Real Estate Agent. I would not use anyone else.

I met Mark mid '09. I was looking to relocate after my husband had passed the year prior. Although I had purchased properties previously, it was always my with husband. The first meeting I had with Mark I knew he was not your average Realtor. That was because he cared....he really sincerely cared! He is trustworthy, honest, compassionate, very intelligent and just a special person. He basically held my hand through the whole process, guiding me, giving me his advice, helping me the whole way. Every time I had a question or asked him to explain something (which was often) he made time to help me.

It's not often you get the opportunity to meet people of this quality. He did his job and much much more! I could go on and on but, you get the idea. He is now a dear friend. I would never let someone like this out of my life!

Mark Is nothing short of amazing! We have bought and sold several homes with his help and could not have done any of it without him. His thoroughness is unmatched, and his extreme attention to detail makes the transaction smooth and the close stress free. We have referred him to our friends and they couldn’t agree more. We would not consider using anyone else in any of our real estate transactions!

We only wish we had several more properties to sell, we had the BEST experience dealing with Mark, he was superb!!! He went above any of our expectations dealing with a Realtor. We both feel we couldn't have done this without his knowledge and help through all the paperwork on both properties, plus his help with a 1031 exchange in Oregon.

I closed on a house recently. I am very appreciative that Mark handled the home buyer process for me. Mark is very knowledgeable & helpful in finding the right property and helping with the negotiation. He handled the inspections and was able to meet a few contractors for me when I could not. Over and above is how I see it. He was quick, knowledgeable, and constantly available to offer advice or answer questions. Working with him was easy and painless, with good results.

I have had the pleasure of working with Mark before and will continue to do so for any future real estate needs. I highly recommend him to anyone. You are in good hands.

I have made several buying and selling transactions in real estate with Mark. Every time I felt not only well taken care of but, I wanted to tell everybody I knew just how easy a stressful situation like buying and/or selling a home can be. Not only did Mark make my experience less painful, the Title Companies and the Loan Officers were amazed at how much he made their life easier. I am not the type of person that goes out of my way to write testimonials! I really wanted to in this case. So, don’t look any farther. You just came across the very best!

Mark Hutchins is the most competent and attentive realtor we have had the pleasure to work with. He goes far above and beyond his required duties, buying or selling your home as if it were his own.

His scope of knowledge of both the real estate and financial markets ensure answers to every question. We have no trouble recommending that anyone in need of a realtor should put their trust in Mark.
