The Professionals Real Estate Team Resource List

" I've had the pleasure of working with Mark to purchase an investment property in downtown Vancouver. From the very start Mark has been extremely easy to work with. I love the open communication and sometimes overwhelming amount of updates regarding all the listings we're seeing and will potentially see. We've probably seen more than 10+ homes and lost offers on more than 3 before finally getting one accepted. From viewing to the final offering and negotiation process, Mark has been extremely accommodating and will go above and beyond to make sure my needs and requests are met. I couldn't have been happier with this property purchase experience with Mark. He makes this sometimes daunting and exhausting process FUN! It has been a pleasure working with Mark and I would highly recommend him to my friends and family. "

- Katie Kwang

" I can't recommend Mark enough to anyone who is beginning to venture in to the Vancouver real estate market! His expertise, guidance, patience and sense of humour made it so easy to work with him to find the perfect place - and in record time! I've purchased and sold two properties in the last 7 years using three separate realtors and Mark was by far the best! Thank you, Mark - couldn't have found my new home without you! "

- Allison Calcutt

" We were first time home buyers and Mark was a godsend. We were very picky home buyers but Mark had all the patience in the world and constantly put in the hours for us. He demonstrated skills, that one would imagine, places him among the city's greatest realtors. Everything from his negotiating, to speaking fluent Chinese. Him being a westerner and picking up a tonal language like that speaks to his dedication on the job and sure comes in handy in this city. His professionalism and approachability are top tier and leave nothing to be desired. After about a year of searching for the right home we landed one that ticked every single last box and thanks to Mark we got the deal of the century too! Mark was able to read the other realtor like a book (his years of experience on show) and knew exactly where our offer stood even when it went into multiples. We have already recommended mark to our friends, rest assured you would be in good hands. "

- Teague Pchelnyk

" I would unreservedly recommend Mark to be anyones' realtor! Although we are total noobs at real estate, he had a mountain of patience. Although he is like a mini-celebrity realtor, he is ever humble. Although I know that he is incredibly busy, he made us feel like his only clients. It is rare to find someone as passionate and knowledgeable about their work as Mark is. Mark - thanks for all your positivity, thoughtfulness, and hard work. May we cross paths again someday! "

- Jennifer Tam

" Pleasure to work with, and hussles get your deals through! He responds past midnight many a times, book viewings to our laundry list of homes every week, and he drives all over the Lower Mainland/Fraser Valley to view homes with you. He has a "doesn't hurt to try" kind of attitude and is a steady soundboard and negotiator in what can be an emotional transaction, even to a seasoned invester like myself. 5+ all the way!! "

- H. Ly

" Mark Wiens was great to work with. He’s intelligent, he works really hard and is a great negotiator for buyers. He helped us get a good price on a house in the west end. "

- Carrie Radomski

" I reached out to Mark as a first Home Buyer, and he made the whole process fun and a delightful experience. As a technical person myself, I confirm that Mark is very knowledgeable, pays attention to details, and willing to go above and beyond to find appropriate solutions. Mark absolutely enjoys what he does, and posses awesome interpersonal skills. "

- SOTISAQ

" Mark and Angelina are professional, friendly, and extremely effective. They are such a great team and a pleasure to work with! Mark didn't cut any corners and is one of the best communicators I've ever met. He sent me extremely detailed justifications as a value assessment for my property. It was clear that he is just as, if not more, emotionally invested in my property sale than I was! He genuinely cares, and will absolutely get the job done. Mark and Angelina are my go-to realtors from now until either they retire or I die! BONUS: Really corny jokes and dorky videos included! "

- Kia Kaspian

" Having Mark for my second purchase, i can say i will be using him again in the future He does not push for a sale, is an amazing source of information, replies on time, seems to work 24/7, and is truly passionate about his work Not to mention he has a sense of humor. Thanks Mark! "

- Maksu

" Some real estate professionals will have a great personality, some have good knowledge, some good sales strategies. Mark has them ALL! His youtube videos are hilarious, while being extremely informative at the same time. I'm also a REALTOR® and know all the top agents in the city like Mark, but chose Mark to sell our property. Boy, am I glad I did. He sold our property OVER ASKING price, within HOURS! Yes, HOURS on the market! I'm proud to call him my REALTOR® (sometimes my psychiatrist), my mentor and my good friend. Thank you Mark! I can guarantee anyone who chooses Mark as their agent, will never use anyone else! "

- Toby Belda

" I bought an apartment for below asking price with multiple conditions - Mark's proactive market monitoring was instrumental because Mark would keep me aware of the latest market developments and listing changes. "

- Gallop Fan

" I hired Mark to sell my condo in Richmond. He did an amazing job on staging the condo and marketing it. In order to market the condo listing, he organized a basketball from my condo's amenities and attracted many talented real estate agents to the game! His creativity and passion blew my mind and I would recommend anyone who's interested in buying and selling the house to hire Mark. "

- Wendy W

" Mark was an irreplaceable guide when it came to buying my first home. He has an incredible amount of knowledge of the local market and I was able to feel confident in the decisions I made when acting on his advice. He really goes the extra mile, and is a pleasure to work with. Could not recommend him more strongly! "

- Liam Shillington

" Mark is an exceptional Realtor, who literally works for his clients 24/7. His level of professionalism is the best you can wish for. I had business with Mark on multiple occasions, he helped my construction company Larch Construction market our newly built projects in Kerrisdale, on the West Side of Vancouver, and Burnaby. Mark's communication and negotiation skills are amazing. On top of that, he masters these skills in both English and Mandarin, which is very useful in Metro Vancouver. I would recommend Mark to any of my friends and family without hesitation. "

- Eugene Averbuch

" Mark was extremely pleasant to work with - always available and clear on all the details of the sale of my condo in Vancouver. The process could not have gone smoother and I highly recommended his services to anyone who is selling or buying real estate. A great social media presence - 5/5 stars "

- Marco Mate

" Whoever knows Mark and has connection with him, that person is super lucky because in their life, at least one thing - buying/selling properties, no need to worry at all because Mark will help perfectly. Super professional but also amazingly friendly, he knows the most updated market trends and knows how to win with great negotiation skills. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for the best realtor in Vancouver! "

- Sunhwa Moon

" Mark is absolutely brilliant. He did in 28 days what my previous realtor could not do in 6 months. His work ethic and commitment to helping me sell my place makes him worth every penny in commission paid towards his services. I was constantly updated on weekly and sometimes daily basis, as well, Mark was always available whenever I needed to ask him a question. It also helps that he speaks multiple languages, thereby granting him access to the foreign markets as well. Overall, if ever I have a real estate need in the near future, I will look for Mark instantaneously. "

- Joseph L

" I used Mark as my realtor in 2017 and will definitely use him again the next time the need arises. He is diligent and truly has his client's best interest in mind. He is motivated to provide the best service possible and is not pushy or looking for a quick and easy transaction. Mark spares no expense in marketing his listings, as evidenced by his professionally filmed videos. He's a funny guy so he loves to incorporate humour but if that's not your style he'll be happy to tone it down. Either way he's going to make every effort to get you the very best price and make sure you are completely satisfied. You will not regret hiring Mark Wiens. "

- Darren Brooks

" Mark was recommended to me by a friend and I am grateful that she did! I appreciated Mark's attention to detail, knowledge and experience and honest opinions. House hunting was a fun experience as a first time home buyer. He was always quick to respond ! Mark is able to help you make an informed decision and make the whole process as painless as possible haha. I finally found the right home, but looking forward to when I sell thanks to Mark ! "

- Aileen Jack

" Mark was incredibly helpful, personable and diligent when working to help us find our new home. Would definitely recommend his services in your hunt! "

- Graham Farmer

" I’ve worked with Mark twice; selling and purchasing property. When I was selling, he was really helpful giving me advice on placing furniture differently to open up the living space. Handling all the paperwork was seamless. When I was purchasing an apartment he really listened to what I wanted and we went to MANY viewings before I made my purchase. We read through the minutes and strata bylaws. He was very thorough. I highly recommend if you need to buy or sell. "

- Lillian Li

" Mark has sold two detached single family homes in Kitsilano for us over the past two years. In 2018, he was able to close a sale within a week of listing, in a declining market, for almost B.C. Assessment value...when most homes were going for $200K under Assessment. In 2019, happy with his previous performance on our behalf, we enlisted him to sell a corner lot home, again very close to B.C. Assessment, within a week of MLS listing and prior to having an Open House. We got the price we wanted in both cases. Mark was a great advocate for our properties and secured a positive outcome each time. I would strongly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a reputable, honest, focused real estate agent. "

- Paul Dhillon

" Working with Mark was an absolute pleasure. He's intelligent, quick, and gave us a wealth of invaluable advice and expertise. Mark truly cares about his clients - he made sure not to miss any single detail and worked very hard for our family. He is fantastic at negotiation, even in this tough Vancouver market. I would absolutely work with him again, and recommend him to friends (and fellow netizens reading this interview). "

- Witek Radomski

" Mark assisted us in a first time home purchase with the same professionalism and zeal that is mentioned here in other reviews. He made himself available to any and all questions. He was knowledgeable and tireless and we were very happy with his care. Would highly recommend to others looking to buy in a tough market in Vancouver! "

- Joshua Lai

" First time home buyer here! Mark is very knowledgeable, approachable and goes above and beyond for his clients! We had a lot of questions and concerns since we had no background knowledge regarding the market but Mark was able to guide us along the way. He was very organized in setting up the appointments/open houses that the transition from different houses were smooth and there was no wasted time and we were able to look at many places at once. He also looked through every detail and brought up concerns regarding the paperwork if there was one. Reports can be daunting, but Mark took a lead and helped us sort through it. I’m very happy with the place we got because of Marks help and I would definitely recommend him to friends & family. PS. his tv show in youtube is HILARIOUS! "

- Diane

" Working with Mark was a good experience and we would repeat it in future. His name came from a recommendation and all expectations were exceeded due to his high quality service. Mark is knowledgeable, trustworthy, easy to communicate and very detail oriented. Highly recommended. "

- Andre Calabresi

" Mark assisted us with the purchase of a home in 2017. Mark is well known for his unique and quirky marketing techniques when selling homes but Mark is also a brilliant strategist when it comes to purchasing. Mark has a very personable approach and gets to know the sellers and the sellers realtor. This allowed us to get our bid in early and avoid a bidding war with other buyers. Mark is also very in tune with the neighbourhoods and was able to steer us clear of a few properties which were not as attractive purchases. I would recommend Mark to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate. "

- Kevin W

" Knowledgeable and patient realtor, does not push me to purchase any properties. give me lots of useful and fair suggestions. I am so happy that he found a good apartment that my family like. Thanks Mark. By the way, he can speak fluent Chinese. Able to communicate with my parents no barriers. "

- Zheng John

" Mark is not the average realtor you'd often encounter at home showings. He will be able to adequately address most of your property related questions with tons of practical information. He also would not shy away from sharing his thoughts and reasoning for or against property designs, features and locations. If you're a person who values more on logic and clarity for a well informed decision like me, no matter buy or sell, you will enjoy his service. "

- Lance Wang

" Mark is a realtor that goes above and beyond. Due to our circumstances, we had to sell our property from abroad and he couldn't have made it easier for us. He is very thoughtful and gave us great recommendations to showcase the best of our property. He is also quite realistic about what your property can sell for and is able to explain why. I also appreciate that he provides weekly (sometimes more frequent) updates to show the work (he does a video for you!) that he's been doing and proactively communicates what he'll be doing in the following days to help increase the chances of getting our property noticed. I'd highly recommend him as a realtor! "

- Naomi Zheng

" Mark is a fantastic real estate agent and person - he treats you like you are his only client and he gave us great advice. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and has a great sense of humour too. We highly recommend him to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home - we are very satisfied with our results. "

- Laura Lu

" Mark is constantly aiming for the best for his customers. He finds them top opportunities through the best real estate communication you can find in BC (if not way beyond that). "

- Thibaud Chaumard

" Mark went above and beyond for us! His dedication, professionalism, and thinking outside the box secured our purchase for us, even with multiple offers. He is a great guy to work with, is always available, and will do anything he can to help out his clients. We are very impressed with Mark and will definitely be using him again in the future. We see why Mark is so well known and respected in Vancouver. Thanks again Mark!! "

- Justin & Rebecca Burbidge

" Mark is an incredible asset as a real estate agent. He went above and beyond to assist us in selling our place in 2018. We had a negative experience with our previous agent not being able to help us sell and we made the decision to seek Mark’s help. It made an immediate impact and we were able to sell fast! At a price we wanted with multiple offers. The previous agent before Mark was unable to generate any interest and after Mark was brought on our property became hot. He really put the time and effort in to his work to communicate with us in a friendly, frequent and efficient manager. Always acting professional and with tact in all business negotiations and meetings. He laid out his plan of action and was very transparent. He spent extra hours helping us with details and communication while always being open and honest. Sound advice and great ability to make a plan and execute it. We were under an extreme time crunch to sell our place because we were moving out of town and had other investments in our new house. Our new house was at risk of being lost if we did not sell in time. We were extremely worried about selling in time. Mark was literally our real estate hero and we were able to move to our new house without losing it. I would have no hesitation to recommend his services to anyone looking for help in this market. You will not regret reaching out to him! Thank you Mark! "

- Mason Phillips

" Mark is incredibly hardworking, professional and has a great sense of humour to top it off. He's honest and genuinely wants you to find a place that suits your needs, he is flexible as your thoughts on what you'd like in a home change. I really appreciated how he was essentially always available to text/call and was able to accommodate my busy schedule. I would absolutely go with Mark as my realtor again in the future! "

- Saif El-Akkad

" Mark was super organized and dedicated -- a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend him to friends! "

- Marcus

" Mark is the best of the best. He knows what he is doing on every level of the transaction. He is trustworthy and always looking for ways to fight for you. Mark is willing to go the extra mile to help you find exactly what you are looking for. Mark understands that buying a property is a big decision. He is able to answer all of the many questions that come along with it! I would (and do) recommend him to everyone. "

- Shelayne Mulholland

" Mark is amazing, and worked closely with us to find us the perfect place. He's not only professional and extremely hardworking (relevant to the job), but he also has a ton of skills like speaking Chinese fluently and hosting a wildly entertaining Youtube channel (fun bonus). We had very specific requirements and put him through an arduous qualification process against dozens of other realtors (this is a true story - I set up a google form with a whole bunch of questions, of which Mark did a very good job answering). Mark genuinely enjoys his role as a realtor in this crazy real estate market, and he was very kind, patient, and helpful in all regards. Initially, we almost didn't want to get a realtor because we never really believed they did a whole lot - my partner and I did a ton of our own research online and got lots of info already - but Mark truly is a value add in many ways that we couldn't have anticipated. Thank you Mark, I said this before and I'll say it again - you a real one. "

- Andrea Chan

" Mark and and his wife Angelina are just the best realtor team we have ever had (having bought and sold numerous properties over the years.) If you are buying / selling in the Vancouver area, we highly recommend you contact them to discuss a purchase or sale of a property. We found them to be the utmost professionals. They have an intricate knowledge of the local real estate market here in Vancouver. They also went way above the call of duty in helping us to buy and sell (in a very difficult market) and they were able to negotiate both a sales and purchase price we were extremely happy with. They were truly awesome to work with and have working for us and we were so grateful for all the extra work and effort they put into selling our condo and purchasing our townhouse. Check out some of Mark's YouTube videos (Search Mark Wiens Realtor in YouTube) to get a preview of Mark, his professional insight and advice, and you'll also get a pretty good sense of the his very outgoing, charismatic personality. "

- Thomas Lalonde

" I hired Mark to help me sell my condo in Yaletown. Mark made the whole process so easy and comfortable to me. Mark was very Knowledgeable and made sure I was updated every step of the way. He gave great advice on what to do when I was unsure. I really recommend using Mark. "
