Mark saved us! We had a poor start with a different realtor trying to sell our home, and after 5 months we found Mark and let our first realtor go. I had no idea what a great realtor looked like. He immediately presented us with his thoughts, and an experienced plan to move forward. He was able to market our home in a way that not only brought many potential buyers to our open loo houses, but he even got us multiple offers! He and Emily gave us a detailed report of what happened at every open house, allowing us to gauge the market in our area and address any issues that were important. Every step of the way, Mark was attentive, even when he was out of the country with his family. He is committed, clever, thoughtful, experienced, respectful and a pleasure to work with. He and Emily went above and beyond what any other realtor we have had for our last 5 homes. Stellar! read more

Marc came highly recommended to us by a good friend and colleague, and we were thrilled to have such a rockstar guide us through the process of purchasing our first home. We first met with Marc in early March 2020, where he took the time to get to know us and answered every question with the confidence and helpfulness of a true expert. Then lockdown happened, and we hit the breaks for a couple of months. During that time, Marc checked in on us, and we appreciated his attentiveness with zero pressure. By June, we were ready to pounce on a home, and Marc jumped into action immediately. It's no surprise in this competitive market that it became a multi-offer situation, and Marc's advice was invaluable. And miraculously, within four days, Marc secured our winning offer. From that moment on, Marc helped us through the inspection process with a team of total professionals, introduced us to an amazing mortgage broker, and remained available at a moment's notice to answer any questions we had. His network is awesome, and we feel fortunate to have him as a resource. Can't recommend him enough! read more

I worked with Marc at Fox years ago so I already knew he was a great guy and he was good at his job. When we asked him to help us get our condo rented and find us a house to move to, I knew we had the right person. We started our hunt right before COVID hit and early in the lockdown, Marc was facilitating zoom tours while keeping everyone's safety in mind. When we found the perfect place for us, Marc helped us with getting all the inspections we needed (and they were plentiful) and connected us with different contractors and experts to make sure all of our questions were answered. We thought the asking price for our house was too high and when we asked about offering $200k below asking, Marc was on board and enthusiastic about the challenge. Our offer was accepted and on top of that, after all of the inspections, Marc brilliantly negotiated us some credits for all the work needed to make the place safe for our kids. On top of all of that, he helped us get our condo rented in time to secure our loan funding. I would highly recommend working with Marc. He was always there for us to answer questions or give advice wherever we were in the process. read more

It was a pleasure to work with Marc. I met him and his partner Danielle Peele at an open house. They were super friendly and we hit it off right from the beginning. I was working with another realtor initially, but eventually switched to them because I had tons of confidence they would help me find what I was looking for. I relocated from the Bay so they were great about going to look at places for me ahead of time and ruling out things that they thought I wouldn't like. He had great follow-up and saw things through to the end. They were knowledgeable about the various areas and would point out the pros and cons to each house that we looked at. They were very patient as I can often go back forward on things. He has also been great post sale as well. He's been helpful by recommending contractors to help out with some updates that I wanted to get done. I would hghly recommend Marc to anyone listing or buying a home. read more

I can't say enough good things about Marc. He guided my husband and I through buying our first home and made what could have been a stressful process as painless (and fun!) as possible. He went above and beyond, helping us with strategy on our offers that helped us stand out in a very competitive market and explaining everything in simple terms. He showed us there are ways to be competitive besides spending more money and we ultimately got the home of our dreams thanks to him. Once our offer was accepted, him and his team were so helpful at helping us schedule inspections and giving us advice/keeping us calm and updated throughout the process. He also did the impossible and negotiated credits for repairs when our offer has been written "as-is" - he was always pushing for our best interests. I highly recommend Marc to anyone buying or selling a home. read more

As a Mortgage Lender, I work with a lot of Realtors and I can genuinely say that Marc is one of a kind. He truly cares about his clients and respects the time of all parties involved. He never hesitates to step in and get the job done, no matter what it takes. I would recommend Marc to anyone looking buy or sell a home. You will be in great hands with Marc and his team. read more

Marc did a fantastic job in helping us buy our first home! From our first meeting, where he walked us through the home buying process, to the close of escrow, Marc was professional, attentive and persistent. With seven competing offers on our home, Marc devised a strategy to win the offer by building rapport with the listing agent, engaging our mortgage broker, and having us write a series of letters to the seller. In the end, the strategy worked and although we had to go significantly higher than the asking price, we won the home with an offer $25,000 lower than the highest bid! Marc also did a great job at saving us money by negotiating $5,000 in repair credits from the seller and contributing a sizable credit out of his own commission in order for us to submit a higher offer. When the Seller delayed providing HOA documents by two weeks and our lender ended up selling our loan before closing, Marc worked extra hard to contact all parties and push them to tie up any loose ends and close so we could have a weekend to move in. Marc is very thoughtful, hardworking and genuine. He is also just a great person to talk with! We are so happy we chose him to represent us in buying our first home and to navigate all the complexities of real estate purchases. read more

Updates review. Marc ended up helping us buy another place near San Luis Obispo. This is our third time using Marc. The current transaction had a couple challenging issues that were stressing us out. Marc jumped in and resolved them. I'm thankful he was able to jump in with no notice and have a offer ready to go 24 hours later. read more

Marc is a professional through and through. He was quick, strategic, and was able to get us the results that we wanted. He helped us buy an investment property, beat the competition, and still manage to get us a great deal! He is an excellent negotiator and was able to beat 5 other offers and get us $5K credit in repairs, too... Not to mention that he is also a great person to chat about all things L.A., art, music, travel, and everything else in between. His team is also a pleasure to deal with -- they make this process easy, which is truly priceless considering how much is involved to win an offer, manage the escrow process, and finally get the keys. I highly recommend Marc, his work ethics and results-oriented way, both personally and professionally. read more

I've known Marc for years, and when it was time to take the plunge into real estate, I didn't hesitate, I knew he was my guy. And did I made the right decision! His expertise and knowledge of the LA RE market is top notch. The level of service I received was way above and beyond anything I expected. Being a first-time home buyer can be a little daunting, but he made it a seamless and fun experience. He was a total "rock star" (as I often told him) as he helped me secure the home I loved and even managed to negotiate a sizable credit. I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Marc!! read more

Marc Hernandez just helped my wife and I buy our first home, and I can't say enough good things about working with him. Marc took care of everything, and made the purchasing process a pleasure. Marc devised clear and insightful strategies for every step of the way. When my wife and I found the house we wanted, Marc advised us to submit an offer on a holiday, so that we could get a jump on other bids that would be submitted during the work week. He worked nonstop to make this happen, and by the end of the day, our offer was accepted, avoiding a bidding war. Marc also managed the entire inspection process for us. He scheduled vendors on our behalf, met with them at the house, and suggested follow-up inspections when necessary. Marc erred on the side of caution throughout this part of the process. He truly represented our best interests by making sure that we left no stone unturned. This diligence paid off, as he then negotiated a credit from the seller for more than $20,000 to cover the cost of some needed repairs. Marc was also a calming presence throughout the purchase process. As first-time buyers, we needed someone we could trust to lead us through all the intricacies of buying a home. Marc was very good at explaining each step as it came, and provided us with clear options along the way. It's hard to imagine a more dedicated, professional, or capable agent than Marc Hernandez. I highly recommend his services for all of your real estate needs. read more

Marc Hernandez represented me in the purchase of my first home. The experience from our first meeting to handing over the keys was always top notch. His process is very educational and he always put my best interest first. On my purchase, he was able to negotiate the purchase price considerably under listing price. Additionally, he negotiated seller repairs and even a credit in my favor from escrow! He even provided me with excellent contractor/vendor referrals which I have been pleased with. I would recommend Marc Hernandez to anyone who is seeking the best in real estate representation! read more

Marc was extremely dedicated and responsive. He was very easy to work with and supportive at every turn. We even beat out an all-cash offer in no small part due to the rapport Marc built with the seller's agent. I highly recommend Marc and plan to call upon him in the future for assistance in buying my next home. read more

Marc Hernandez was a dream to work with every step of the way. We met with him to sell our home and then buy a new one, not knowing we would find our dream house so quickly and have to scramble to sell our current property. He helped us consider the current market and strategize to price our house perfectly. He then had the house photographed beautifully, insisted on "all-day" open houses, utilized Douglas Elliman's extensive digital and social media marketing, and all of it certainly paid off: We sold our house in 9 days with multiple offers, $180,000 over list price. Marc managed to go above and beyond, take charge and yet remain open and collaborative, and used tremendous thought and care in the way he dealt with every interaction on our behalf. He truly made what could've been a super stressful experience not only painless, but often really fun. I cannot recommend him enough. read more

Marc Hernandez is simply the most generous, capable, and talented agent we ever could have hoped to work with. From our first offer to closing, Marc shepherded us through each step with the undeniable confidence of someone who is operating at a higher level - other agents aren't even playing the same game. We first met Marc at an open house he running for a colleague, and it was immediately obvious that this guy was the real deal. We'd met a ton of agents while touring homes in the months prior, but it hit us right then that if we wanted to get serious about buying a home, it had to be Marc representing us to sellers. We called him up the following week and immediately put pen to paper with what would be our first offer. There was never a time in our home-buying process when Marc was not available to talk, set up appointments, take us on private showings (including late night and Friday night showings), and schedule inspections. If you're excited as we were about the prospect of landing your dream home in a hyper-competitive market like Los Angeles, you need Marc Hernandez on your team. read more

Marc represented us on a condo purchase in West Hollywood and I can't say enough about how happy we were throughout the process. At the time, we were living in the Bay Area and were unable/unwilling to travel so Marc was our eyes and ears. It's a little scary making such a big decision without physically being there but we were instantly comfortable with Marc. He demonstrated incredible knowledge of area and market but just as important, patience and honestly. He's also not afraid to push for the best deal possible. There's no question we would've overpaid if we didn't have Marc representing us. Without hesitation we will work with Marc again and recommend him to all of our family and friends. read more

Marc made my first home buying experience the most wonderful process I could have hoped for. From our first meeting, he listened & understood what I was looking for. He also knew that it was Q4 and I'm in ad tech sales, so he knew that I needed to be quite hands-off. From the moment we met, I trusted him completely and knew that he was taking care of me. He often times would view places when I couldn't, sending thorough feedback. I believe that I got my dream West Hollywood home because of his focus, thoughtfulness, determination & wonderful personality. The other realtors LOVE Marc! The buyer loved Marc! I never felt like a "sale" or that I was being pushed. I felt like I had a wonderful trusted friend who wanted to see me succeed. Marc will be someone I send my friends and clients to, and he will forever be the only realtor I work with. read more

My husband and I were first time home buyers and that can be very intimidating in today's market. We had little education regarding the process and where to start, and were first referred to a broker by a family friend. We were soon feeling extremely discouraged by our first meeting with her, and felt as though maybe buying a home was just out of our reach. But then came along Marc Hernandez! And I can honestly say we wouldn't have been able to purchase our dream home with any other realtor. From the very first moment we saw a house that we were interested in, Marc was willing to meet us late after hours and on Friday nights to show us the properties. He was always just a call or a text away and was always there to answer any questions we may have had. Marc also worked extremely close with our lender and helped to manage him to ensure that he stayed on track and met our tight timelines. He also helped to open our own eyes in terms of what our budget could really be, which led us to purchasing a gorgeous completely remodeled home that we would have never thought was within our price range! In addition, the home that our heart was set on ended up having multiple offers, and Marc went the extra mile for us to meet with the listing agent, and was an absolutely amazing negotiator when it came time to both making our offer (and making it stand out) and also getting us not only repairs, but credits, too! My husband and I honestly did not know what to expect with escrow, and just how crazy things can be. Especially with both working full-time jobs and having little free time. Marc was also so incredible and willing to coordinate our inspections and appraisals and ensured that he could be there on our behalf when we could not. Not only that, but every person who assisted us with completing our transaction (our escrow officer, lender, etc) continuously said they had never before seen an agent work so hard for their buyer! We would wholeheartedly recommend Marc Hernandez to anyone who is serious about turning the key to the home of their dreams. Thank you, Marc, for helping us realize ours! read more

Before my wife and I met Marc for the first time, we were told that he had won bidding wars between multiple buyers, closed deals in record time, and in general had a client list of happy homeowners singing his praises. Well, it's all true. Marc is as good as gold. As first time buyers, he took the time to explain every step of the purchasing process, and helped make ourselves more marketable to potential sellers. While trudging through the overcrowded "scene" of open houses, Marc offered private showings that were complementary to our own schedules, and he was more than patient when we hemmed and hawed about what we were looking for in a property. But the real magic happened when we made our first offer on a condo in Santa Monica and it got accepted within 48hrs! It was at that moment when it suddenly became clear why Marc is so successful: he's extremely smart, savvy, a consummate professional, and a genuinely good person who thrives on helping buyers find homes. It's that simple. So do yourself a favor and work with Marc when buying your next property. You'll be more than happy you did. read more

Marc was a pleasure to work with and did a great job navigating LA's competitive market. I went into the process with trepidation because I didn't think I could afford a suitable home for me and my family. We found and made offers on multiple properties but discovered inferior physical conditions. Marc was great at keeping me focused and ultimately, we found the RIGHT home, went up against multiple offers, and tenaciously made the deal happen for $15,000 UNDER list price. Marc went the extra mile to ensure my offer stood out and was instrumental in finding a great loan that met my needs. In the end I purchased an amazing home that exceeded my expectations. I could not be happier. read more

Marc was amazing. Thanks to Marc Hernandez we were able to purchase our house out of 16 offers! He is a very knowledgeable real estate agent who guided us through a very competitive market. I don't think we would have been able to purchase our house without his expertise. He is very good at understanding the client's needs as he smoothly guided us though a multiple offers deal. Not only we were successful thanks to Marc, but he made an otherwise stressful experience very enjoyable. We felt right at the beginning that we had a winner on our side, and we feel very lucky that he was our real estate agent. read more
