My wife and I just wanted to write you a note to express our sincere appreciation for the excellent job you did for us in the recent sale of our Lake Tahoe home.

Your preparation and advice at the start of the process was very valuable, but yet you still kept an open mind regarding pricing and other important elements so that we always felt that you were in charge of the business transactions up front, but that we still had the last word behind the scenes.  You’re a great listener and you took care of every detail of concern to us.  Your prompt and illustrative website advertisements no doubt helped to make this a record setting sale, taking place in less than one week of the listing and at full price!

We found your knowledge of both the home building business and the real estate business to be a winning combination for the clients you represent.

These attributes, coupled with the constant flow of information you provided made this the most stress-free experience we could have hoped for.  And as a bonus, we feel we made a genuine friend in the Tahoe area.

If anyone were to ask, we would give you the highest possible recommendation.

Thank you,

Bruce and Cheryl

Mark Salmon provided exemplary representation in the recent sale of our Tahoe home. With the real state market in California in a constant flux, Mark used cutting edge as well as contemporary marketing approaches including video walk throughs, internet marketing and real estate publications to market our home. Mark’s knowledge of the local market was such that we had confidence that our home would be represented to its fullest potential. Mark is an extremely professional realtor who prides himself on client service. We were extremely pleased with Marks negotiation skills and ability to secure multiple offers on our home. In summery Marks professionalism, experience and knowledge of the Tahoe area enables him to represent sellers and buyers in a relaxed effective marketing environment. We will not hesitate utilizing Mark again and believe he is a dominate individual in the Tahoe real estate market.

My wife and I had worked with Mark Salmon for approx. 2 years looking for our dream home. One day Mark sent me an e-mail telling me he found our home. I told him we would be up that weekend to look at it. He told me it would sell quickly. We made an offer on the home and it was accepted. We went up to look at the home we purchased and it was exactly what we were looking for. This goes to show you that Mark really listens to what his clients are telling him. He is respectful, professional and very knowledgable about the Lake Tahoe area. Not many people would buy a house sight unseen. We had complete faith in Mark as our agent. We would recommend Mark to anyone that is going to buy or sell real estate in the Lake Tahoe area. Call Mark Salmon if you only want the best. If not, you can call the rest!

My name is not important, but what is important is the fact that I had a home to sell and the difference between me and the rest was that not selling my home affected my family and our lifstyle. From the beginning, I listened to what Mark had to say and for whatever reason always ruled on my natural instinct. If he said the sky was blue and I didn’t like what I heard, I went the other direction and he went there with me with grace. After 3 years of being on the market we sold our home and life was as I knew it would be again. I also have to say that in the end, Mark was dead on. He was always there looking out for our best interests, it just took me a while to digest the facts. In my situation it was hard to accept a loss. Hind sight is 20/20 as we all know. My 20/20 vision only allows one thought and that is that 2 years ago if I would have had listened to Mark and sold my home then, it would have been for substantiually more. But I can today take a lemon and turn it into a spring drink. In the end I sold my home, my family got their active life style back, I can now breath and I have a new friend. The Salmon family is a family to which most people can relate. I truly believe that Mark does what he needs to do to both feed his family and sleep at night. He has the highest ethics and moral values and is as honest as they come. He works harder than any other person around. We all need a Mark Salmon in our lives. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who needs a realtor for any reason. Thanx Mark!!!

We have done several real estate transactions in the past year. We have used Mark on all of them. He makes the experience smooth and easy. He is the most well rounded agent we have had the pleasure to work with, and we have worked with several.

Mark has sold two homes for my family and I during the last 5 years as well as helping me to purchase 2 lots. Mark was able to sell both of my homes during incredibly difficult economic times, when many other agents were unable or unwilling to put forth the effort needed to close the deal.

Mark’s background in construction and overall experience with building practices specific to the Lake Tahoe area give him an exceptional knowledge base to work from. Mark’s professionalism and courtesy ensure all parties involved (Buyers and Sellers) receive the highest level of service throughout the purchase.

Mark takes the necessary time to assist his clients with making informed decisions, which are supported by market analysis and comparisons taken from 1 month to 3 years prior. Mark’s high integrity and strong work ethic quickly convinced me that he was not only capable, but more informed and prepared than other agents. Mark has been a true pleasure to work with during the normally stressful process of purchasing or selling real estate. This coupled with Mark’s passion for this community continue to make him my first choice for all things real estate.

In having bought and sold several homes, I know how important it is to make an educated decision when choosing a real estate agent. When selling my home in South Lake Tahoe, I chose Mark Salmon, because I felt he was the best real estate agent in town. After the wonderful job that he did, I believe I was right! Mark Salmon took the time to research the current real estate market, the trends in each local area, and knew how to price my home for sale so that I would receive the maximum amount of money and it would sell quickly. Mark Salmon was trustworthy, professional, helpful, understanding of my personal needs, and most of all, knowledgeable as a real estate agent and local member of the community. He held open houses, was respectful of my family as we were still living in the home, yet kept in mind that it was our goal to sell the home and be able to move away within a limited amount of time. I am thankful that I chose Mark Salmon as my real estate agent. I truly believe that I wouldn’t have had such a good selling experience without him. I highly recommend Mark Salmon as an agent to help people to buy and sell their homes.

I was a first time homebuyer and somewhat nervous about the entire process. Mark was patient, prepared and always offered sound advice. He always had time for my questions or concerns and was extremely easy to work with. His knowledge of real estate in Lake Tahoe is exceptional. I have already referred numerous friends and colleagues to him as, from my experience, he is the best in town.

Super competent agent! Mark reallys knows the Tahoe area, and he was extremely responsive and helpful at every step of the process of shopping, negotiating, and closing on a new home. In our case Mark was both the selling and buying agent, and yet we felt very comfortable he was representing our interests at all times, including pointing out things we missed that we could negotiate on to improve the final deal. I love working with competent and sharp people, and that’s definately who Mark is. Plus, he’s a really nice guy and easy to work with. Highly recommended that you use him.

We contacted several agents before we decided to use Mark. He was much friendlier and had more information than the other agents. His knowledge of the area and the houses was fantastic. He was very honest about the pros and the cons of every house that we looked at. He obviously was not just trying to get a quick sale, or to sale us the house that cost the most. Even after the sale was completed, Mark has been fantastic about helping us with questions that we had about the area.
I HIGHLY recommend Mark!! I have already recommended him to friends that are looking to buy in the area.
