Discover Why Clients Love Teaming Up with Mark

“Strong advocacy and willingness to fight hard for us…”

Mark helped us complete a tricky 1031 exchange purchase during the COVID pandemic. This was a very challenging time to purchase, during a unprecedented seller’s market and low inventory for buyers.

Without Mark’s strong advocacy and willingness to fight hard for us, we would not have been able to buy a beautiful home, and we very likely would have had trouble completing our exchange.

“He works efficiently and responds with prompt communication.”

With Mark’s many years of experience in the Tahoe market, it was easy to trust his judgement of the area. This was especially important to me since I had limited time to view properties.

He helped me screen the best options to streamline my viewing experience. He works efficiently and responds with prompt communication.

“There’s a reason he has been a top producer for years.”

Mark has successfully handled three transactions for us over five years. One was particularly difficult and technical.

He knows the Tahoe real estate market from a $20,000 lot to a $100 Million hotel. He’s our go to advisor and has our trust. There’s a reason he has been a top producer for years. If you have any questions please contact me.

“I wish all agents out there were as professional as Mark.”

Mark is the consummate industry professional, and I can’t endorse him enough for his perceptive market knowledge, deep network of local contacts and sharp deal-making acumen.

He is most definitely a “super” agent in Tahoe, and the fact that he is a cut above the rest comes through loud and clear. I was first introduced to Mark about 8 years through a friend who is a savvy real estate investor. Since then, he has helped me with multiple purchases in the South Lake Tahoe area. Each deal was negotiated by Mark in a clever yet above-board and forthright manner. In addition to having excellent attention to detail, he is someone who listens to and understands the concerns of clients. Because he’s so good at his job, he seems to always be juggling multiple clients. However, I’ve always felt like he treated my deal as if it were his own. My transactions always felt prioritized. His communication style is perfect – clear, timely and thoughtful. I wish all agents out there were as professional as Mark.

If you’re looking to buy or sell in Tahoe, you can’t go wrong with Mark!

“He made us feel like his only clients”

I’d 100% recommend Mark.

Not only was he able to get us our dream home in the Tahoe Keys, he made our home buying experience smooth and easy. He was super knowledgeable, incredibly responsive, and bent over backward for us multiple times. Even though we knew how busy he was and how unprecedented the Tahoe market is right now, he made us feel like his only clients.

We are truly grateful for Mark!

“His straightforward style made it easy to build trust”

Mark was fantastic to work with in finding our new home.

He has a deep local knowledge of South Lake Tahoe. His straightforward style made it easy to build trust in the weird world of covid home buying where visiting a lot of homes was difficult. We could rely on him to filter the homes worth paying attention to. And in a hot market he helped us make a successful bid very quickly. He was super-responsive at answering my random texts at all hours.

Highly recommended.

“Mark deserves 10 stars”

Mark deserves 10 stars; we can’t say enough about how amazing he is and what a great experience buying a home was because of Mark.

Mark knows the area incredibly well, has great knowledge of construction and how homes are built, has intimate knowledge of the developers and trades people in the area, and has a great passion for Lake Tahoe in general. He really went above and beyond with us and we highly recommend him to anyone buying a home.

Our first home buying experience was with Mark and if we buy another home in the future we will only use Mark Salmon.

“Helped us close on…in a complex negotiation”

Our experience working with Mark was exceptional.

As a Tahoe local for many years, not only does he intimately understand the local property market, he also has a construction background and contacts, which for us was invaluable. Mark provided us with thoughtful advice throughout our search, and helped us close on a property in a complex negotiation.

I would highly recommend and use Mark again.

“Mark was the only one to truly understand what we were looking for and help us to get it”

Mark was a great realtor who helped us find our dream home!

He was patient, thorough, fun to work with, and helped explain all of our questions as first time homebuyers. We had previously worked with 3 other relators, and Mark was the only one to truly understand what we were looking for and help us to get it through his tenacity and helpful searching/communication!

We ultimately purchased our first home because of Mark.

In addition, from the offer being received to the full close, he was extremely helpful in following up with all parties involved even when he didn’t have to engage at this point, which made it much easier for us as buyers to complete the transaction.

Thanks, Mark, for helping us find our dream home!!

“Mark will go out of his way to exceed each and every one of your expectations.”

I’ve now worked with Mark on both a purchase and sale transaction for single family homes in South Lake Tahoe.

My experience with Mark reflected a truly unique combination of specific experience with the local neighborhoods, deep knowledge of the market and its workings, and active engagement in important issues impacting the industry.

You won’t find a realtor more in tune with what’s going on locally, and Mark will go out of his way to exceed each and every one of your expectations.

I’d highly recommend using Mark for your real estate needs, you will not be disappointed.
