This is a 5 star review for Mark Biggins. Mark helped my husband and I purchase our new home. Mark is knowledgeable, courteous and guided us every step of the way. We never felt pressured. Mark listened to what we wanted and because of his diligence, we were able to find a home that met all of our criteria. Mark was relentless and always on our side. We highly recommend Mark!

Mark did the impossible, he made me feel comfortable leaving San Francisco and moving to the East Bay. He found the perfect home, negotiated a great deal, and made sure I was happy. Mark and I have remained in touch over the years and I can tell you, he knows his stuff. You want him on your team.
