Vacant Land - Residential Real Estate transactions.
There are many things I can say about the high quality of service I provide to my home seller and home buyer clients, but probably none would be as credible as testimonials from some of my recent clients themselves.
So please take a moment to read the following testimonials. I hope they indicate my experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much I enjoy helping people with their real estate needs.
Testimonials
I have just completed the purchase of land in the Bonners Ferry area using the services of Mark of Coldwell Banker! Other than actually inspecting the property, the whole transaction was completed long distance and i consider the whole transaction "well done" in all areas. If I should buy or sell property in the Sandpoint or Bonners Ferry area I will certainly use his services again!

Mark is honest, hardworking and professional in all my dealing with him over the past year. My wife and I were lucky to come in contact with him while searching for real estate in the Bonners Ferry area. Mark provided us with information, advice and support during our long process of locating what we wanted. He never tried to rush us into a purchase, telling us repeatedly that his objective was to get us what we wanted without concern for how long it took and how much time he was putting in on our behalf. Once we finally settled on a property, he negotiated on our behalf with our upmost trust and confidence, securing a very nice purchase for us that met all our wants and needs. Having been a business owner myself for over thirty years I know the value and security of employees with Mark's work ethic and charactor. I only wish I could find more people with these qualities for my own business. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone seeking a true professional who would be an asset to any endeavor. I would gladly answer any other questions someone might have about mark.

People involved with Mark should know about his honesty and forthright approach. If he needed to find out information for us he did so. If he didn’t have an immediate answer, he would inform us honestly and then would get the information. He always acted in our best interests without making us feel pressured or hurried. If he needed to investigate an issue for us he made an informed decision, he always did so. He always demonstrated great patience throughout our purchasing process. For those reasons I would recommend Mark McInnes.

Mark is a go getter. He is very professional, prompt, and a pleasure to work with. He made things happen when it may have taken a lot longer for our property purchase to go through. We highly recommend him on a professional as well as personal level.

Dear Mark,
Loren and I would like to thank you for all your help with our home purchase. From beginning to end, your support, guidance, and attention to detail made everything go smoothly. As long-distance buyers with specific needs regarding acreage, price etc., I know we presented a challenge. You handled everything with professionalism and good humor. We especially appreciated that you kept us so well informed. We never had to wonder what was going on or if things were progressing. We couldn't have been happier: even the inspector and title company you recommended did fantastic work.
You are by far the best realtor we have ever dealt with and we will definitely recommend you to our friends. We are so happy in our new home Thank you again for all your help.

I cannot begin to express my appreciation and gratitude for Mark's help and patience in selling my home. He went far above and beyond my expectations of a realtor and I felt he sincerely had my best interest in mind. He was extremely courteous and respectful in working with the renters in the home to make sure it was a beneficial outcome for all parties involved.
Mark not only responded to all my emails and phone call full of inquiries and concerns in an urgent manner, but often anticipated those questions and was prepared with answers before I asked the question. He negotiated and worked with me and my personal situation and despite my frustration with the market, Mark always remained confident and optimistic, yet realistic, and his advice was invaluable throughout the process.
Buying and selling a home is a very personal (and sometimes painful) process and right from the start it was obvious that Mark is not in this business for the money but for a sincere desire to help people and that satisfaction gained in knowing he helped people achieve their goals. I would recommend Mark to anyone looking to buy or sell a home and know you've found someone who cares and will be honest with you.

We feel very fortunate to have stumbled onto Mark McInnes of Coldwell Banker Real Estate. My husband has recently been relocated to Bonners Ferry for work. We decided to head up on a Sunday in August to look the area over and see where we might want to find a new home to live and raise our family. Mark happened to be in his office that afternoon and we stopped by. Within minutes we felt comfortable with Mark. We have now worked with Mark for over a month and could not be happier with his service and dedication. Mark listened to our desires and needs in finding our new home and has provided us with the listings to fit those needs. Whatever we have asked of Mark he has provided in regards to information pertaining to any properties we are considering to purchase. We would feel confident recommending Mark to anyone looking for real estate in the area.
Sincerely,
Tracy

While my husband and I were in search for a home Mark McInnes was there. From the moment I told him we were looking he had housed printed out for us to see and whenever a new home came available he called us to let us know. When ever we called to see a house he either was right there meeting us or called us back the same day to meet as soon as it was convenient for us. If and when I am ever in the market for a home again Mark McInnes is our Man. In short we called for a taxi and received a limousine with extras. I recommend Mark to anyone looking for their perfect home. He will find it.

Below are some testimonials from fellow rotarians:

Well Mark, I have to tell you how much I appreciate you jumping right in. You obviously truly care about our club, our community and all we try to accomplish. I know that you do not do these things for the accolades. And the same goes for me. However we both know that it does feel good when someone notices. There is no project that you take on that I won't be proud to work with you on. I meant what I said when I said thank you for all you do. Rotary is also about building networks and friendships. As I have gotten to know you, it makes me feel good to know that I would not hesitate to send someone your way for a real estate transaction. Ironically as I wrote this, it occurred to me that you had some words of wisdom on this subject. I had to scroll down to see what I have seen many times, but never took the time to read...
"A referral is 'guiding' someone you care about to someone you 'respect and trust' ! Who do you know who in the next 60 to 90 days will be interested in buying or selling?"
I hope that I get the opportunity to refer someone your way.
