Mark Karten

""Mark was referred to me by a friend as I am new to Las Vegas having recently moved here for a new job. I have bought and sold many homes in my life but have never had an experience with a Realtor like I did with Mark. He is incredibly knowledgeable about everything involved in completing the transaction and made the usually stressful situation of buying a house quite pleasant. Mark knows Vegas and everything going on in this very tough housing market. I plan to refer Mark to everyone I know who is buying or selling a home here." "

""Attention to detail, knows the business inside and out. Knows how to get things done. Superior intellect (He must be Mensa.) Drives the process through to completion. I have completed 3 transactions with Mark. He asks good questions, understands my goals and partners with me to achieve them in a timely manner. He sets good expectations and often exceeds them. " "

""After 30 years in the military and eight home purchases, we can say with authority that Mark Karten is by far the finest Realtor that we have come across. He is devoted to the tasks of helping his clients and is honest to a fault. He has our highest respect and we would be glad to share our experience with prospective clients." "

"We can't say enough great things about Mark. He truly is an amazing agent. Not only did he do his job to perfection, he also picked up the lender's slack. He handled all of our headaches while we were on our honeymoon and let us enjoy it. We would recommend him to anyone looking for an unbelievable agent who goes above and beyond for his clients! We love him!"

""Mark is the most professional, knowledgeable and experienced agent with whom we've worked. When we were unable to see a property in person, he would email a comprehensive video for us to review. When looking at properties with Mark, he would be looking for evidence of leaks or mold, while we were looking at the flow of the house. He also would always lock the door behind us to assure our safety. Mark is also small pet friendly. Our 3-1/2 lb Pomeranian, Dixie, went with us on every appointment - we traveled 1100 miles to look at properties and it was so nice to be able to bring Dixie and not leave her at the hotel. We bought a beautiful home, fully furnished and decorated because of Mark's commitment to finding us the right home. This home is our winter home and Mark's commitment continues after the sale. He checks on our home when we are away and arranges to have it cleaned if we ask. We highly recommend Mark to anyone who is looking for an exceptional real estate professional." "

"I have utilized Mark Karten in both selling and buying a home. He was able to get me a very good price in the current buyers' market and then found an investment property for me to purchase a few months later. If you have questions, he usually knows the answer. if he doesn't know the answer, he will get it for you. In the purchase of the investment property, he even provided leads of possible renters. I highly recommend him."

""No matter what kind of questions you have, Mark has answers and solutions for you. He educated me so well about today's real-estate market throughout the whole process without any hesitation. I truly believe that you are not able to find a Realtor like him. He is the best of the best!!!!" "

"Our overall experience was "wow"! You were easy to contact, on time and organized. All of our questions were answered and you kept us well-informed of each step of the process. Your professional confidence and image made this a stress-free and enjoyable purchase. We would highly recommend you to any buyer or seller at any price level, we can't imagine finding a better Realtor. "

"A testimonial to the greatest Realtor and friend we have ever found. We met Mark Karten in Las Vegas while looking for a three bedroom condo. Our first communication with him led us to believe that we had found the right person to assist us with our needs. We now know that we also found a friend. After a few brief meetings and several showings, Mark was quickly able to determine our needs and tastes. He shortly thereafter proceeded to find our perfect home. As our primary residence is a significant distance away, he offered to help us with many things that would have been difficult for us. He was always available. No call went unanswered. From banking assistance to local needed services in the area, Mark provided us with them all. This includes cleaning services, a handyman, home improvement professionals, leisure and recreation in the area, and a list of health care providers. The many ways in which he helped us are far too numerous to itemize. Therefore, in closing, we give Mark Karten our highest recommendation. We have and will continue to refer him to anyone needing assistance with any real estate issue. He makes the entire process smooth and expedient. Anyone would be very fortunate to work with him."

""Mark Karten is simply the best real estate agent it has ever been my pleasure to work with. He handled every aspect of our cross-country search and purchase with complete professionalism and unmatched attention to detail. He turned what could have been a stressful process into an exciting adventure with a new friend. Thanks Mark.""

"I would highly recommend Mark Karten based on my personal experience. Mark is a real professional who helped us position our house for sale. He is upfront, honest and does what he says he will do."
Leo Brennan Tue Dec 29, 2009

""Mark is an amazing real estate agent. We bought our first home from him over the summer and he made the process simple and smooth. Anytime we had a question or concern he responded quickly and with valuable information. Not only is he a great realtor, but he is a great person. He takes the time to get to know his clients and you can tell that he truly cares. Thanks Mark for helping us find our first home. ""
Karen and Ernie Kinsey Tue Dec 29, 2009

"We just wanted to thank you for taking you time and showing us some houses on very short notice. You, without a doubt, answered more questions about buying a house and explaining what happens than anyone else that I have talked to in the past. We both look forward to working with you and finding a house that fits what we are looking for. Once again, thank you very much."
Jim and Lorraine Doyle Tue Dec 29, 2009

""Mark is a wonderful agent. We would certainly recommend him to others. He was not only an agent but a friend during the whole house buying process. This was our first home and he made the experience of looking for a home fun. He took all of our needs and showed us the houses that matched our criteria. Any questions we had, he was always there to answer. Thank You, Mark.""

"From your very first meeting with us, through the condo buying transaction to the present time, your professionalism has been apparent. You have shown a great deal of patience and willingness to help us in our home-buying quest. You understood what we were looking for and were very knowledgeable in the areas we were interested in. You were very willing to spend time with us and listen to our needs. We have a great deal of confidence in your skills as a real estate agent and place that confidence in listing our condo to sell with you. Even though it's a difficult seller's market now, we know that we have a good chance to sell our condo through your marketing skills, which are excellent. We consider you a good friend and would recommend you to anyone in Las Vegas. "

"Mark delivers exceptional service during the whole process combined with his incredible market knowledge."
Edwin Lorse Tue Dec 29, 2009

"You've done a great job in anticipating our wants and needs both before and after the sale. Thanks again for all your help! "

""What a wonderful Realtor! Very knowledgeable, dependable, and helpful. Makes the process so easy.""
Crystal Robbins Tue Dec 29, 2009

"Mark did a great job with a difficult listing. He sold it one week after our tenants moved out! He updated us every week via email to let us know what activity had occurred. We now have our home on the market and we are very impressed with all the ways that Mark markets our home. Potential buyers can have a virtual tour before ever coming into the house. He has had an open house, gone door to door with door hangers, emailed other Realtors and has probably done other things that we just aren't aware of or that has momentarily slipped my mind. We have also purchased another home through Mark and he makes the process seem almost effortless and stress-free! He is the most patient and professional Realtor that I have worked with in a very long time. He was able to answer every question that had (have) or gets the answer in a very timely manner. He is always optimistic that the sale is right around the corner! He makes us feel like we are his only clients."

"I never thought I was going to find somebody so dedicated to his work; honest, professional and courteous. From the beginning til the end and beyond of my idea of buying a house in Las Vegas, Mark went out of his way to guide me, answer all my concerns, fears and questions. My experience of buying a house with Mark was so great, that I decided to buy a second property in Las Vegas and I did not hesitate to call Mark right away. Again the transaction from the beginning til the day of closing was a complete success. I really hope that everybody is so lucky like I am to find such a great person to do business with. I recommend my friend Mark to anybody for any real estate needs."

"Now that we've settled into our new home, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for finding us such a terrific house and the unbelievable support you provided to us throughout the process. As you know, Alec and I have been involved in numerous real estate transactions and found you to be the best agent with whom we ever worked. As newcomers to Las Vegas we were faced with selecting a neighborhood to live in -- a daunting task considering the many different neighborhoods and our unfamiliarity with the city. We were impressed with the speed and preciseness at which you matched us with neighborhoods that really fit our taste and budget. At all times during our house-hunting days, you were always organized, patient and extremely honest about the pros and cons of every house and area. You never rushed us into making a decision or put undue pressure on us. You provided us with detailed background information no matter what we asked -- from sales comparisons to neighborhood safety. During the sales transaction, you represented our interests first and foremost and were willing to make any offer we suggested. As a result we got great value for our money. Even more impressive were your actions after the sale. Again, you provided us with tons of information and leads on everything from connecting utilities to sourcing vendors for upgrades and small repairs. You even made sure there was toilet paper in the house on the day we closed. So thank you for everything, and I'm sure we will think of you often as we enjoy our new home. "
Alec and Margie Tue Dec 29, 2009

"WOW.....professionalism to the T. People say they are never lucky in Vegas but our first contact with you was a lucky find, not the house with a pool in Summerlin, but meeting you. Ever since then you have been personable, approachable and a wealth of knowledge. It has been awesome going through this process with someone as competent as you, as we both know we have come across a few incompetent people along the way. I boast to all that ask me about our house and the experience, how great you were through every step, despite my internet surfing and property seeking YOU found our new home. Being in hospitality for the past 14 years it is easy to distinguish the true professionals from those who just talk the talk, yet stumble on the first few steps when they try to walk the walk. YOU sir, definitely do both with poise, charisma and a smile. Qualities hard to find that you have are certainly your punctuality, appearance and availability."

"I'm a licensed Realtor in the state of California and chose to work with Mark Karten in the purchase of a rental property. Let me tell you, having Mark take care of all the escrow headaches for me was a great relief, especially being a state away throughout the entire deal. In Real Estate, 'trust' is one of most important attributes to look for. Not only do I trust Mark to handle my transaction accurately and professionally, I continue to trust his knowledge of the Las Vegas Real Estate market and to keep me informed with new opportunities that may arise. Now, there is no need to fly out to Vegas to see how the Real Estate market is faring. I'm able to pick up the phone and receive a fair and honest answer from a professional who lives and breathes Las Vegas real estate...Mark Karten"

"Attention to detail; responding with a sense of urgency; sensitivity; timeliness; client's best interest at heart; followed through to make sure that closure is accomplished per schedule and always followed through on every other aspect of the deal, while keeping me informed. A wealth of knowledge to give a homebuyer, i.e. moving companies, water softener companies, attorneys, and even little things that were big to me, such as how to work the thermostat. I have worked with Realtors in many states and Mark is by far the best. He is the most professional, market analysis-based Realtor. Because of all the above we have established not only a working relationship, but a friendship. I had a holiday party, and was very comfortable in asking him to assist me in the kitchen, which he did with his usual customer service attitude. If anyone is interested in real estate in the Las Vegas area remember -- there is the rest, and then there is the best, Mark Karten. Mark, I salute you."
