My family was a microcosm of the world beyond our front yard, and I took that philosophy seriously and put it to work in building a strong sense of neighborhood right here in the Castro/Eureka Valley. Growing up, my parents were the heads of our family community.
They instilled in each kid a sense of co-responsibility- keeping it clean, respecting others, and rewarding hard work, and they exposed us to different ways of thinking and living, which inspired us to see the world from a place of curiosity rather than fear.That might seem idyllic, but it's my philosophy to this day.

One of the many joys I receive from working with great clients (buyers and sellers alike) is to see the smile on their faces when they've closed escrow. It's the icing on the cake when these great clients send real estate testimonials that let me know how they felt about working with me.
So, if you're wondering if we'd be a good fit, please feel free to read some of my real estate testimonials from people I've worked with and continue to work with them through the years.

Mark and his team are absolute pros. We interviewed three different agents before selling our condo in the Haight. Mark's was the most organized and he answered our questions directly and knowledgeably. Once we started to work with him, he quickly slotted out all the appointments (painters, repairs, gardener, etc.) on a Google Calendar which he shared with us, so we knew the timeline at each and every step of the way. The condo looked great, as did the marketing materials. When we hit a soft patch in the market, Mark was very proactive about our options and didn't push us to sell at a

When we made the decision to sell our home of 20 years, we knew we needed more than a real estate agent, we needed a partner in whom we could trust. Mark McHale brought everything we needed to the table: extensive sales experience, proven methodology, deep knowledge of our neighborhood, market savvy, and most importantly, impeccable communication skills. Mark carefully reviewed our property and presented us with his market analysis and options for us to consider, always keeping our priorities and expectations front and center. We collaborated on a fast-track plan and Mark with his network of experts

I met Mark McHale more than 10 years ago when we were both volunteer board members of the Castro Merchants association.
When it came time to choose a real estate agent, I interviewed many, and I was once again impressed by Mark's knowledge, positive attitude and his intelligent demeanor.
I've worked with several real estate agents in the past, and Mark was the best I ever worked with. I am so glad that I chose him to sell my home. He is very professional and incredibly knowledgeable about the San Francisco real estate market. He made me feel secure and confident every step of the way

We decided to put our flat on the market and it timed exactly with the Covid-19 Shelter In Place ordinance. Mark navigated uncharted waters for us dealing with new guidelines and regulations as a result of the pandemic. Mark's consistent communication kept us informed every step of the way so that we could make informed decisions. Mark was especially cognizant of the other 3 owners in out 4 unit condo building. He kept them appraised of what was going on and was very courteous to make sure they were not inconvenienced. Being professional and detailed was very reassuring given the unknown

If we could give Mark more than 5 stars we would!! I would absolutely trust Mark with my closest friends and family. From the very beginning, Mark was a pleasure to work with, we felt at ease after our very first meeting with him. He started off as our agent, but is now our dear friend. Not only did he attend every Open House with us, but he educated us on what to look for and be aware of. We couldn't have asked for someone more knowledgable on the San Francisco market. Thanks to his expertise and coaching, when the time came, we felt knowledgable and prepared to make big decisions. Mark asked

My husband and I just purchased our little piece of San Francisco heaven with the help of Mark McHale. He was referred to us through a friend and right away he went to work for us. He was always responsive, and didn't bat an eye at what we felt like was a meager budget for SF. We put in a quick, last minute offer on our house, assuming we would be outbid, but he hustled for us to get our offer in on time and we got it!! Not to mention, we were in NYC through the entire process. My husband flew out once to see properties and Mark obviously knew what we were looking for. He sent me videos of

I have dealt with a handful of real estate agents in San Francisco in the past 20 years of living here. No agents impressed me more than Mark McHale.
To find the right agent, we interviewed 6 agents. Mark was by far the most prepared during the initial meeting. He provided me with valuable market information along with his expert opinion regarding the value of the property, and it was right on the money. Throughout the entire transaction, Mark was hands on and efficient. He guided me every step of the way and was able to close on a deal that was beyond my expectation.

We were referred to Mark by a friend that we trusted. From the beginning, we felt at ease with him and confident that he was connected to all the right people to get our place sold. He worked hard to coordinate our home's preparation and sale with the ever changing details and timelines of our company relocation to Atlanta. We are very pleased with his ability to manage all of the moving pieces and even manage to bring to us several attractive offers before we even hit the market. Mark was great at keeping his promises, giving us a clear road map on what we could expect and make it all happen

I am very happy with the services received from our Realtor, Mark. Our property was located just outside of San Francisco and Mark was very familiar with the neighborhood and the sold price(s) in the area. He worked with us during a very quick job relocation from the west coast to the east coast. He was very professional and provided a detailed business plan of how we would market our home. He exceeded our expectations by amending his plan to be available to meet with home inspectors and contractors in our absence. He removed the stress of moving from our minds by being available "on the

I've referred Mark many, many times to friends that are moving to San Francisco and the feedback I've gotten from them has always been very positive. Moving to San Francisco can be a daunting process for anyone, but Mark has always make it easy for people to understand the neighborhoods, what they can afford and even offered to show them around town so they can get a feel for the areas they might want to live in. He's prompt to follow up and his jovial personality puts you at ease. I especially love that while Mark is clearly versed in traditional industry communication, he&apos
