We began working with Mark as our real estate agent about a year ago. He was warm, professional, and a good listener. Buying a home is not without its’ anxieties and Mark was understanding and offered us the support to get through those stages. It was only through the process of looking at properties that we became clearer about what we were after, and throughout this process Mark remained interested and hopeful. He often contacted us to alert us about properties he thought we should consider- his guidance was invaluable! We are so grateful to him for finding the perfect property for us. Mark also offered us sound advice when it came to making an offer when we found the property we were looking for; provided the support and necessary contacts with other professionals to assist us in purchasing our home. I would also add that he is very knowledgeable about the area and it’s history. We have the highest regard for Mark Carmien as a person and a professional. You could not do better.

As first-time homebuyers in a challenging buyers market, we couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Mark. Mark’s deep familiarity with Pioneer Valley and its housing market was incredibly helpful as we went to showings and hunted for our family’s first home. Being able to lean on his experience and expertise gave us confidence that we would find the right house at the right price, and we are very appreciative for his patience, kindness, and advice as we looked at and considered several different properties. In the end, we couldn’t be happier with the outcome - we love our new home! We will be recommending Mark without any hesitation to any of our friends looking for houses in Pioneer Valley.
