We used Gordy Marks as our realtor during our home search beginning in January 2021. Both Gordy and his associate, Jesse, took the time to meet with us to set expectations and listen to our must haves. We all knew that the search would be tough with this market. Jesse and Gordy made themselves available every time we needed to jump at a home. As first time home buyers, their experience and expertise was priceless. We closed on our home at the end of May and we couldnt be happier with our home and neighborhood. We needed up exactly where we needed to be. Thank you Gordy and Jesse

Gordy has now represented us in 5 transactions over the last 5 years. Three of the residential properties were waterfront and one additional was in a neighborhood with an HOA. The fourth property was a free standing commercial building in downtown Everett. The Marks team were always responsive and professional. We had some issues and concerns with Tenant and Gordy gracefully resolved them. We were always satisfied with the negotiations. We highly recommend Gordy Marks for all your real estate needs.

We've known Gordy for 25 years. He's been our buying and listing agent for homes in Bothell and Mercer Island (twice). He communicated effectively and was very responsive. He was very observant of the details in the homes as well as the other party's issues and needs. When buying he easily saved us tens of thousands of dollars, and when selling he helped us price the homes at points that we were happy with the traffic and offers. He's a seasoned negotiator and well-connected with other agents in the Seattle metro area. He is a principled and ethical man. I highly recommend, Gordy - not just for
