Mark is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and patient with all the transactions I have used him for (past 3 homes). Couldn't recommend him enough. He stays on top of things and is constantly in contact during the home buying/selling process. No better or experienced realtor in the area. read more

Literally the best realtor ever! I actually worked with Mark when I was an administrator for the brokerage- ROG, when I was around 23 years old. I always knew when I had my career & was ready to buy, I would go with Mark. It's easy to go with the top producer in the office but it was more than that for me and my family. It's the way he carries himself. He treats everyone like they're important, with respect. So humble, so funny, I've never seen this man stressed. We're talking about a REAL real estate veteran. My parents even trusted him to handle my transaction without them. We just closed on our house 2 days ago with Mark and I'm sad it's over because he was so fun to work with. He made the whole home buying process easy & even helped us move our fridge to our new house because we didn't have a truck because that's just the type of person he is. He taught us so much but never overwhelmed us. I am currently 8 months pregnant and the transaction was SO FAST, I don't remember much of it but I know it went great lol. He always had our backs, I trust everything he says in general. I never felt stressed NOT ONCE. If you pick Mark as your realtor then congratulations, you're doing home buying correctly. read more

4 years ago, we had the privilege of working with Mark as we purchased a home in El Dorado Country. In my previous review, I said, "We will be recommending him to all our family and friends and should we find ourselves looking to sell our home someday, you better believe he'll be the first person we call." Flash forward to 2024 when we decided to move out of state, we made that phone call to Mark! Having worked with Mark as both a buyer AND seller, we can confidently say he is TRULY THE BEST. He is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and genuinely cares so much about his clients. Whether you are buying or selling a home, this is the kind of agent you want in your corner. We can't say it enough...we highly, HIGHLY recommend Mark! read more

We have had the absolute pleasure of working with Mark over the past six years, and he has been nothing short of amazing. He helped us purchase our new construction home six years ago, just recently guided us through a seamless sale of that home, and is now representing us again in purchasing the new construction home we're building. Throughout this entire journey, Mark has been incredibly professional, responsive, and endlessly supportive. Even when we reached out over the years without finding a home we loved, Mark always showed up with enthusiasm and dedication. His responsiveness is unmatched, and we always felt like a top priority regardless of how many questions we had or showings we requested. It's rare to find someone who genuinely cares as much as he does, and we are beyond grateful for his expertise, patience, and commitment. We couldn't recommend Mark more highly for anyone looking for an outstanding real estate agent who goes above and beyond! read more

We just closed on a house with Mark and couldn't have asked for a more seamless experience. Mark is not your typical douchy salesman trying to push you into a home that isn't right just to make a quick commission.... even if it takes a year! He truly enjoys what he does and it's obvious in every interaction. We not only found the perfect home but also found a new friend! read more

Mark handled the sale of a home in Rancho Cordova in November 2024. I have been involved in 20 real estate transactions (6 in the Sacramento area) for my personal residences and investments and have been hands-on with my construction and remodeling projects for about 40 years. Mark managed the sale process of this home I co-owned with my mother. Because I live out of the area about 600 miles away, I wanted a responsive and tech savvy realtor. He was easy to reach and we leveraged verbal, e-mail and text communication to keep things moving. He also helped me develop the sales preparation strategy and find the right balance between cost, benefit and timing. I spent 2 weeks in the home getting my Mom moved out and preparing the house for sale so I was pretty hands-on until I handed it over to Mark to sell it. Mark made this transaction easy for me and my mother with his extensive experience, valuable advice and positive personality. Most of the realtors I have used have fallen short of my expectations and I have often felt I was one step ahead of them throughout the process. That was never the case with Mark as he always came to me with solutions to every challenge and all his advice helped maximize the net proceeds from the sale while reducing the risks. We had 6 over asking offers in 1 week on the market which was a great result. Unfortunately, the first buyer backed out after an inspection issue and within a day Mark had a new buyer lined up and in contract and we closed in 20 days. That quick recovery was possible because he maintained communication with some of the 5 other agents. If I needed a realtor in the Sacramento area I would not use anyone but Mark and highly recommend him ! read more

Mark Speelman - Realtor - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Folsom, California

Simply put, Mark is hands down the best realtor I've worked with. After working with him years ago, I knew that he would be my first (my only) call when I started looking to buy again. It's clear that Mark's goal isn't just to get you into something quickly and move on. He takes the time to understand what you're looking for and what you need. He then helps you through the process and makes sure you get that home that makes sense. Mark is not only an extremely knowledgeable in his craft, he's also just a pleasure to work with. Could not recommend highly enough! read more

Incredible is the first thing that comes to mind. Mark is an exceptional realtor. Couldn't be happier with the service I got from him as we sold our home in what was a relatively tight timeframe in order to get into our new house. Mark makes himself available whenever you need him or have questions. He really went above and beyond. Truly one of a kind. If I ever need a realtor in the future (hopefully not for a long while) he'd be the first person I'd reach out to. I will be referring him to any family or friends in need of a realtor as well. Thanks Mark! read more

He did an amazing job in helping us sell our home and has been an absolute pleasure to work with on the buying side. I highly recommend Mark for your buying and selling needs. Great at his job and an even better person! read more

We had a great experience with Mark as our realtor. We were first time homebuyers and he walked us through the process well. He was very knowledgeable when looking at houses and he has experience as an appraiser. It was evident that he truly wanted to take the time to help us find the best house for us. When we found the house we knew we wanted, we felt confident that Mark was doing everything in his power to help us get it. We were able to close on our dream first house and are so very grateful to have worked with Mark throughout the process. He was a great communicator, giving us updates frequently, made the house searching/buying process fun, and showed that real estate is his true passion. We would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a realtor! read more

Mark is a invaluable resource when it comes to real estate. We chose to work with Mark based on his follow thru and personality. He was proactive researching properties that fit our needs. The level of support he provided to us from start to finish exceeded our expectations. He is a busy agent, but always made time to answer ALL my questions! He managed every detail during our transaction. I can ensure that working with Mark you will be in good hands. I have referred him several times. Besides being a kick ass agent, he is a pretty fun guy. You will leave him smiling, knowing you made the best decision working with a honest trusted real estate professional. read more

Mark was amazing to work with. He made the ups and downs of selling our house so easy. There was no problem that he could not tackle. He was so respectful of our busy schedule. He either answered his phone every time or texted and let us know he was unable to take our call. He is the best agent we have ever had and when we are in the market to buy or sell Mark is the first for us to call. I highly recommend Mark and truly understand why he is rated so highly. read more

We searched around and spoke with multiple realtors. Mark was the only one that was down to earth and we felt he had our best interest in mind instead of his own. This came to be true. Mark was great during the sell of our home and always responded to our phone calls right away and answered all our questions as this was our first time selling a house. Very pleased with using Mark as our realtor and feel is was a good decision. read more

Mark is an exceptional realtor and all around wonderful person. We closed today on our home in Loomis and honestly couldn't have asked for a better partner in buying our first home. Moving from the Bay to Loomis requires some pretty intensive single day house tour slogs and Mark was an absolute champ in setting things up and working with us driving from EDH, to Folsom, to Loomis. He never pressured us when we had to back out of a deal and was a steady hand when offering and ultimately negotiating the final deal. I'd like to think of Mark as more of a friend now who also happens to be an exceptional realtor who's 100% committed and super responsive. Hopefully we won't be moving anytime soon, but if so, rest assured we're calling him first! read more

I sold my second home with Mark this week. I trust him implicitly. He is very hard-working, straight shooter AND he tells a great joke. It's important to be able to laugh along the way as you hit those inevitable bumps in the road with any sale. I spoke with several realtors who were interested in my business and I found so many who simply lack experience or are not familiar with the area as well as Mark. He is a great negotiator and I have been satisfied with his work ethic in both of my home sales. Thank you Mark! read more

Mark was an exceptional realtor, whom became a friend, helping us relocate from the Bay Area to El Dorado Hills. He went above and beyond given we were not in the area touring homes for us and even FaceTime to see properties/neighborhoods in real time. His knowledge of the area and guidance through our 1st home buying journey was nothing short but amazing, he supported us every step of the way. We can't thank Mark enough for all his help and for getting us our beautiful home in the area we hoped and dreamed about for our family read more

We would recommend Mark a thousand times over! Working with Mark has been excellent. We've made home purchases before, but Mark helped make this time the best home shopping and buying experience we have had! Mark is a truly nice and kind person. He is professional, smart, savvy, and efficient. His fun and relaxed personality, combined with his humor, made this stressful experience enjoyable. He was really responsive to our needs and made himself available at all times, anytime. Mark's honesty and integrity really came through as we made offers. His experience and expertise really helped us because he has a keen eye for what a house will need, what repair and costs it will take, what add-ons may be possible, and what the total appraised value of a house should be. Mark gave us time to process, think and discuss, without any feeling of pressure. He was never pushy or salesy. But when we asked for it, he was always honest about his opinions, really considerate of our needs, and always trying to make sure we did not overbid or get caught up in the market. We'd recommend him to anyone, anytime! read more

Mark is an amazing realtor to have on your side, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell. He helped us sell our home and is in the process of helping us buy our second. When we sold our home we had a lot of contingencies because we needed a long rent back to have time to buy our next home. He found us the perfect buyers who were okay with all of our contingencies. He was in communication with us every day throughout the whole selling process to make sure he answered all our questions and stayed on track to meet our closing schedule. He even offered to come cut branches with my husband that our appraiser asked us to trim back before we could close. He is so helpful, knowledgeable and trustworthy. He will share any risk or concerns with you up front so there is no surprises as well. Selling our home has been scary but he has made this whole process feel seamless for our family. read more

I worked with Mark on a recent real estate transaction as the cooperating agent and he was wonderful! Mark has a way of making you feel like you've known him for years! He's always transparent and understands the home buying and home selling process perfectly. His seller hadn't installed some CO detectors, and our inspector noted it. I gave Mark a heads up, and he was there within 30 minutes to install it himself! This just goes to show the lengths that Mark will go to make sure his clients are taken cared of. If you're considering a knowledgeable and honest real estate agent, Mark is your guy read more

We are so thankful to Mark. He helped us buy a condo 8 years ago and sell it a month ago! Both times he made the process was easy and smooth. He recommend vendors we needed, kept the process moving along in a timely way and always made sure our interests were looked after. I especially appreciated how responsive he was. He was always quick to call or text with answers to my questions. He will always give you the honest take and provide options. We loved that. Plus, he is a pretty fun guy! We highly recommend! read more

Mark has helped us sell our starter home and three years later guide us through purchasing our next home. We returned to Mark because he is not only kind, thoughtful and a joy to be around, but he is always prompt and quick to return any questions you might have. He is honest with you and really invests in finding the right home for you. He will point out flaws or concerns and values the client much more than the sale. Go with Mark and you will surely not be disappointed in your buying or selling experience. Thanks for all your help and patience! Kyle & Frances read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Mark is an incredible realtor. He is a gem of realtor and i can't imagine going through this process without him. He is extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of buying and selling a home. He walked me through every step of buying my first home. He made sure I got a fair price, that repairs were found and fixed and that I was comfortable in the process the entire time. He is calm and patient and answered my endless questions always with a calming smile. He goes out of his way every day for his clients. I will never use another realtor and make sure everyone I know buying or selling a home uses Mark too. He is the best of the best!! read more

Mark was awesome from the beginning. I was moving from Redmond WA to CA and had some specific requirements I was looking for. Despite that I was in Redmond WA for the majority of the time looking, and that I had him sending me options for many months he was always quick to respond and help out. Once some good options popped up we were in the middle of COVID, Mark was great in making sure I understood the additional requirements due to COVID and we were able to quickly and smoothly close on a great house. 100% would recommend Mark to friends/family and anyone else. read more

Mark is an exceptional REALTOR. He knows the market, knows how to negotiate and most importantly cares for each and every client as if they were his family. He has the drive to fight when he needs to and the experience to make sure that his clients get an outstanding value. read more

Mark is a one of a kind agent!! He helped my best friend and I find the perfect home in Folsom. In a very short time period he was able to find exactly what we were looking for, in a great neighborhood, with a pool! He had the entire process signed seal delivered in record time. I couldn't imagine it going any smoother than it did. He made something typically stressful seem like a walk in the park. Not to mention he will make you laugh and keep it fun the entire time!! I highly recommend Mark to anyone wanting to purchase in the Folsom, El Dorado Hills and surrounding areas. You won't find anyone better. Thanks again, Mark! read more

Mark is exceptional. As first time home buyers we were nervous about the process, and did not know what to expect. Mark is timely, professional and kind. He knows the industry well and it shows. If you are buying in the area, Mark is the only choice! read more

I first met Mark at the local Starbucks. I had spoken to him for years before I realized that he was a real estate agent. He was always friendly and I enjoyed speaking with him on my way to work in the morning. Earlier this year my wife and I decided to move to Europe and I decided to give Mark a call. It was a great decision. He is knowledgeable, pleasant to work with, always ready with a joke, and offers plenty of suggestions. I can recommend him to anyone. In fact, we have continued to stay in contact even after our move, so I get the latest news from Folsom despite living in Sweden. If we ever move back I will certainly call him again. Some people really care about their clients. Mark is one of them. Frankly, I wish he sold real estate over here. read more

Working with Mark to purchase my first home was beyond a pleasure. As a first time home buyer, I had plenty of questions for him. He took the time to thoroughly educate me on the entire process, and left me feeling very confident with each step we took towards closing on my home. He was able to negotiate great terms with the seller and their agent, scoring me an accepted offer of thousands less than the appraised value of the home. Outside of his professionalism and proven experience within Real Estate, he was incredibly personable and really fun to work with. He definitely has a great sense of humor! I would, and will, recommend Mark to anybody I know that is in need of a Realtor. read more

Being first time home owners, from the Bay Area, in a very aggressive market was not easy this past summer. Mark had been recommended to us by a coworker when we began our search in the Folsom/Roseville area last summer. After some setbacks we were able to get serious with our search efforts and he truly made it a wonderful experience for us. He remained honest with us and kept our expectations realistic. Never once did I feel pushed (I don't take kindly to that ) nor that he lost sight of our best interests. He sat back and let us connect, or often times not connect with properties. And boy did he keep us laughing the whole time. We brought our young children with us a few times and he was even fantastic with them. Helping us with them even so that we could focus on our limited time viewing homes. He explained things, sometimes the same things over and over if needed. Other agents I observed in the process made me cringe whereas with Mark Id go as far as saying we gained a friendship. It was a pleasure working with him on such a huge life decision... and we would have picked him again! read more

I would give Mark 10 stars if I could! He was absolutely wonderful to work with and my husband and I are so glad we found him on yelp! We were first time home buyers and had zero idea what we were doing. I met with Mark and felt very comfortable with him right away (he held my 4 month old son and if baby liked him I knew he couldn't be that bad!). He is a friendly, warm, family man who clearly loves what he does. He is not intimidating or "salesman" like at all. He was very patient with my endless questions, texts, calls, and emails and explained every little step and detail so my husband and I would feel confident in our decisions. He really listened to exactly what we wanted and needed and found us the perfect home for our growing family. I met him on April 1st, by the 12th we made an offer, and by the 15th we were in escrow! We get our keys in a few days and we couldn't be happier. If you are looking to buy or sell your home I recommend Mark without hesitation! Update - just got keys yesterday!!! You rock Mark!!! read more

My property manager referred me to Mark and I couldn't possibly be happier. I have bought and sold 5 houses over the past 30 years and I came to HATE all the realtors I had any dealings with, so I expected yet another battle. OMG I was so pleased with Mark, he listened and was so easy to work with. The whole transaction went so smooth, he had a network of nice people from the inspectors to the title company. I lost NO sleep, which is saying a lot. We toured several houses and found the perfect place, he negotiated the price and bing bam boom, in less than a month we are closed and ready to move forward. I not only recommend Mark but will be singing his praises to all who need a GREAT Realtor. read more

I don't even know how to describe Mark's awesomeness. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND as our Realtor!!! We were first time home buyers in a market that had everything going against us. We were determined to buy a home, but Mark was even more determined to get us into one. After months and months of looking at houses Mark was still there for us every time we called. Responding quickly, getting showings set up, and walking us through houses and giving us his expertise. Even though this market was a struggle, it was pleasure every time we saw Mark and joked around as we saw houses! He will forever be our Realtor and I recommend he be yours too!!!!!! read more

What can I say about Mark, he sold and helped purchase homes for us twice already and we would work with him again!! He is kind, compassionate, and honest. Truly one of a kind agent and person. read more

I have bought and sold several houses in my lifetime, and can honestly say that all realtors ARE NOT the same. Recently, my wife and I chose to purchase a new home in the Folsom/El Dorado Hills area. After researching realtors in the area, I chose to work with Mark Speelman. I found his energy, availability, and understanding of the local market exceptionally attractive. Mark did not just unlock the door and leave the tour up to me, he personally walked through the property with me, talking about specific features and how they compare to the neighborhood. He also let me know which houses he felt were fairly priced. We finally identified a short sale home, which, as most people know, can be challenging; not for Mark. We made our offer, submitted the paperwork, and everything went smoothly. We ran into one speed bump, which was a clerical error between the title company and lender, but Mark was on it, smoothed it, and we hit that sucker at full speed and never felt it. Speaking from experience, I would recommend Mark Speelman to ANYONE looking to buy OR sell. And if you look at my other reviews, you will see that I do not give out 5 stars easily. Mark earned it, and we are happy with our new home. Thank you, Mark! Marcus & Karen Collins read more

Mark was absolutely awesome to work with! I sold my condo of 13 years and Mark was able to negotiate terms and take care of everything while I got settled into my new place. For me, this was the best possible outcome!!! I was able to concentrate on moving and less worrying about closing the deal! Mark took care of EVERYTHING! Thank you so much!!!!!!!! read more
