“There is no doubt, we would choose Mark every time.”
"Mark impressed us from the start with his professionalism and generosity! He sold our first house in less than 4 months after it sat on the market for 3 years! We had such a good experience with Mark we used him later as our buyers agent, then again when we needed to sell a year later. Our house sold in less than 2 weeks! We believe the quality of pictures Mark took of both homes, and his extensive marketing, were instrumental in helping achieve such a fast sale, twice! Mark is so easy to work with, thinks outside the box, and has such ambition to get the job done. He is the perfect combination that benefits you as the buyer or seller. There is no doubt, we would choose Mark every time."

“Thank you so much for impacting our lives in such a huge way!”
"We are writing this referral letter to you to illustrate how greatly you impacted our family. Whether it was our first move or second, moving can be very stressful, emotional, and exciting time. Your honesty and commitment to our family and our move really showed us that you were 100% in it for US. You were always available to us to answer any questions and guide us through the process. Your focus on exposing and showcasing our property was fantastic, and that is truly evident by the results. We may be the unusual case, but if you remember our house was barely listed for a week! And your efforts didn’t stop there. Your commitment shined by taking time out of your evenings and weekends to find the right house for us. Then, when we did find the right house, you were determined to close the best deal possible as if it was your own house you were buying. We truly appreciate your focus and commitment to our family. We absolutely love our new house and will enjoy it for a lifetime! Thank you so much for impacting our lives in such a huge way!"

“We highly recommend Mark and have referred him on more than one occasion.”
"This past year we were lucky to work with Mark Charter on two different occasions. First, Mark offered to help sell our townhome in Ankeny and found the perfect buyer for us. His professionalism and friendship lead us to work with him again when we were looking for our new home. He worked quickly and was able to get us into our dream home. Mark is someone who will help you find the perfect property in your price point just as much as finding that perfect buyer."
- Jon and Andrea Olson
“Mark was easy to work with, knowledgeable and really cares about his clients.”
"I met Mark Charter on Twitter as I was trying to sell my own home. Mark was willing to give advice on some things that would help me sell and also said he had creative ways to help if I wanted to work with him. When the time came, I listed my townhome in West Des Moines with Mark. He had an offer generated on the place in less than 10 days and helped us close in a timely manner. He then helped my husband and I buy our next home in Urbandale . Mark was easy to work with, knowledgeable and really cares about his clients. I would have no trouble telling a friend about Mark and his services."

“We can’t put into words how grateful we were to have him as our Realtor”
"Buying a home with Mark Charter was amazing. He was super professional yet down to earth at the same time. Mark went up and beyond himself to make our dream home a reality. We can't put into words how grateful we were to have him as our Realtor. Mark’s work ethic is extraordinary and there isn't another realtor for us other than him."

“We would trust him again with our business.”
"We would definitely suggest using Mark for any of your real estate needs. He guided us through the process of purchasing a high-end home, took care of the little things, and negotiated hard on our behalf! We would trust him again with our business. Thanks Mark!!!"

“Our move to Iowa was our 5th move so far, and Mark helped make it our easiest.”
"Our move to Iowa was our 5th move so far, and Mark helped make it our easiest. We moved from out of state, and had a lot of houses to view in a very short amount of time. Mark did a lot of prep work and communicating with us before we got here, and really knew what we were looking for, so our time was well spent and productive. In the end, we found the perfect home for our family, and still have communication with Mark even after we have moved in. I would definitely recommend Mark Charter to anyone looking for great service and help buying a home!"

“Throughout the entire process of purchasing our home Mark was 100% on our side!”
"My wife Ilia and I are independent people and with today’s market we thought purchasing a new home ourselves would be a piece of cake. It wasn't until a co worker of mine, who was in the process of selling his house, referred us to Mark. My previous thought of Realtors was that they are sales people and all they are out to do is get paid. Mark has sense changed our perception. From the beginning Mark was nothing but professional. He was persistent but not pushy! Throughout the entire process of purchasing our home Mark was 100% on our side! I first emailed him with what we were looking for and he responded the same day with several listings for us to browse. On our own time we then choose the ones we wanted to see. When we found our dream home and negotiated the price Mark pretty much took care of the rest. I personally stand by Mark's professionalism and have referred him to all of my family and friends."

“I don’t believe I would have gotten the same level of attention from another Realtor.”
When I sold my house, I tried to do it FSBO at first. After a few months of no success I listed with Mark. He immediately had interested buyers looking at the house and it was sold in 2 weeks. I couldn’t have been happier. He gave me guidance and perspective that I needed and was an incredible resource for all of my questions. I don’t believe I would have gotten the same level of attention from another Realtor. He really exceeded my expectations. I would definitely list with Mark again.

“He made the transaction very easy.”
We would definitely use Mark Charter again when purchasing or selling a home. He made the transaction very easy. He was punctual with all of our appointments and the paper work was a dream. We called him at the last minute several time to open up our new house so we could measure rooms for furniture. He always dropped whatever he was doing and met us within a few minutes.
- Steve and Connie Henderson
“He understands the business and how to treat clients.”
Selling a townhome in this market is tough. I knew I needed to find somebody to help me sell who understood the market, had the expertise and creativity to get the job done, and most importantly would be easy to work with. Mark Charter was all of that and more.
Mark brings a lot to the table. He understands the business and how to treat clients. Mark does what he says he will do, treats people with respect and is always supportive of his clients. I put my trust in Mark that he would try his best to get my place sold and I was not disappointed. If you value finding an agent who is flexible, caring, knowledgeable, trustworthy and fun to be around, you should turn to Mark Charter for your real estate needs!
