"After receiving negative feedback from my parents with their past experience
with Real Estate Agents, I was very skeptical about using one myself.
You were always available, pointed out flaws and looked out for my best
interest. I felt very comfortable in trusting your judgment and you’ve made my
first home purchase experience wonderful.
Thank you for all your patience and very hard work."

"I recently used Mark Parkinson as my Realtor to help me find a new home. He was
professional and courteous in all of our dealings. He was also extremely
responsive, not only when finding properties to preview, but also during our
"under contract" time period.
He went far above the typical agent to ensure the builder, lender, and title
company were all doing what needed to be done so my closing went smoothly. Mark
found me exactly the right home in the perfect location, he negotiated a
fantastic contract on my behalf, and I couldn't be happier."
- James Fridley

"The level of service we received while working with Mark is absolutely
unparalleled. He made sure that every detail was attended to during the whole
transaction. His overall knowledge of everything from the real estate industry
to financing options was a true asset to us. We truly didn't feel the need to
worry about anything during the process because we had full confidence that Mark
was taking care of all the details.
Mark truly took the pain out of the home buying process and we cannot recommend
him highly enough."
- Brian & Becky Ewens

"As an investor, I wanted to make sure I found the right property that matched
my criteria. I used Mark Parkinson to find a property and negotiate the contract
on a new construction Model Home Lease Back. Mark was able to negotiate the
price and Seller Subsidy monies that made this purchase very attractive. He also
worked with the builder to accept an outside lender handling the financing which
enabled more flexibility with my loan product. The builder tried to slip in
several outrageous fees that Mark was able to catch and have nullified.
Because of Mark's attention to detail, constant availability, and negotiation
skills I saved tens of thousands of dollars. Thanks Mark, I will recommend you
to everyone I know!!!!"
- Joe and Bernie Venezia

"My first home purchase was a wonderful experience, thanks to Mark. From my
first conversation with Mark to the day I signed the closing documents, I knew
he had my best interests in mind. In the 3 months Mark and I worked together, he
was always available to listen and answer my questions, and he patiently took
the time to explain each step of the home buying process to me. Mark is
professional, trustworthy, and honest...a true joy to work with! I will highly
recommend Mark to anyone that is looking for a realtor. Thanks to Mark I finally
own a home that I love!"

"Mark Parkinson took the pain out the home buying experience. There are a
lot of realtors available and they all promise the moon; Mark delivered. But the
one intangible that Mark brought to the table was trust, and that trust was
priceless to me and my family. In the eight weeks that Mark and I worked
together, he was always available, provided the answers to any question and was
always professional. I was very apprehensive about using a realtor for this
purchase because of my past experience with realtors, but Mark was more than I
ever expected and I could not have landed the deal I received without him.
Thanks for everything, Mark!
- John Merritt

"My husband and I have bought and sold several different properties in Northern
Virginia and had never experienced the kind of attentive professionalism by any
other realtor. Mark's thorough knowledge of the real estate industry and his
genuine interest in meeting our housing needs was unparalleled. We would
certainly recommend Mark to anyone buying or selling a home. He is absolutely
the best in the business!"
- Steve & Kristine Patrick

"Working with Mark was a great experience. He took the time to diligently seek
out properties that suited us. He always was there when we called him and
answered any questions we had. We definitely felt like Mark was constantly there
by our side throughout the whole process. Mark is a true professional and I
would highly recommend Mark to anyone that is ready to buy or sell a home."
- Dave & Michelle Lewis

"It has been a pleasure having you list my house. I will recommend your
services to anyone looking for an honest and hard working real estate
professional. I appreciate the extra mile you went with the sale of my house. In
fact my mom, who is a long time real estate investor, will be contacting you in
the future to use your services. Your work with the 1031 exchange process was
great! Thank you for all your hard work!"
- Jesse White

"My wife and I used Mark to assist us in purchasing our new construction
home. He provided the highest level of professional service and always had our
best interests in mind. We would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a FULL TIME,
professional agent who is absolutely committed to you the customer. Thanks,
Mark!"
- Joshua and Tiffany J.

"Words will never truly express how elated and blessed my husband and I are to
have gone through the home buying process with Mark Parkinson. I started looking
online this past June for homes in the Fairfax County area. Mark emailed me a
few days after my online search began. We chatted over the phone (which turned
out to be a really good conversation --I got a good vibe from talking with him)
and Mark said that he would send me listings based on my criteria. Within less
than 2 days, I got over 40 listings of homes in the Fairfax area based on my
criteria. I was truly blown-away.
His follow-up skills were AWESOME. And within those listings, I found a place
less than a mile away that I was really interested in. So in mid-July, I met
Mark there and I was very pleased with the level of service and commitment that
I received from him. I truly felt he had my interest at heart and more
importantly, he cared. And that's one of the most important things that stayed
consistent with Mark throughout this whole home buying process -- he TRULY cares
about his clients.
We closed on the house we fell in love with at the end of August. I could not
tell you how many times Mark went to bat for us when the builder/mortgage
company were doing things that were not in our best interest. He stayed
optimistic even when we weren't and did everything he said he would do -- to
find us a home that we love and with a mortgage that we were comfortable with. I
didn't expect to find, buy and close on a home on less than a month, but Mark
made it happen because of his dedication and commitment to his clients.
I could NOT have picked a better realtor if I tried. My husband and I will refer
friends/family to Mark for any of their home buying or home selling needs. Mark
and his team made our dreams of buying a home we love come true! THANKS A
MILLION MARK! YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!"
- Marc & Dawn Hyman

"Our first home purchase was a smooth process from start to finish. Mark
was pleasant to deal with and was very thorough. He worked very hard in
presenting listings that were tailored to our needs. We believe that Mark's
services offer a level of honesty and practicality that are unrivaled in this
market."
- The Bickels

"Beyond his knowledge of the area, Mark will bring dedication to his clients
regardless of the effort required. Most importantly Mark is a person in whom you
can place your trust."
- Dave Needham

"I'm sure we will be out there sooner or later and we will definitely contact
you again.....thanks again for your hard work."
- Clint & Maureen Bickett

"Mark, I am already liking the way you work. You have shown nothing but
diligence from the start and I can already tell that I will enjoy working with
you on future endeavors."
- Chad Smith

"Mark was invaluable during the buying process by making sure that my
interests were being met. Even after the purchase of my new home, Mark continued
to be of service by pushing the builder to resolve issues we identified during
the final walkthrough. Mark did a great job and I highly recommend using him as
your Real Estate Agent. Thanks!"
