I did not know Mario before listing our property with him. He was a friend of a friend of a friend, but I really liked his approach. I'm so thankful we used Mario! The bottom line is the Mario help me and my family earn $100,000 more for our property than we expected. I had contacted other realtors who wanted to low ball the price to move the property quickly. Mario listened to my needs, knew I was not under pressure to sell quickly, recommended some upgrades, and most of all, recommended a higher list price based not only on comps but on low inventory in our area. All of those factors helped us land a contract, above asking price, within a few days of listing. Mario also made sure all of my needs and concerns were addressed along the way, and he coordinated the efforts of several groups in order to assure a smooth closing. He even dealt the the city code compliance office on several issues to make sure they did not derail closing. If you are looking for a realtor, Mario is a great option!
