10/10, 5 STARS, I can't recommend them enough! Mark and Mickie are a valuable team to utilize when searching for and buying a new home. Despite having owned and sold two homes prior, we didn't really know where to start with a new construction and we relied heavily on their expertise and advice to get us started and through the process with our builder. I truly believe we had a relatively smooth build due to Mark and Mickie's presence with the builder project managers and sales office. We had so many questions during the build process and both Mark and Mickie were able to answer them quickly and effectively. Their skill also helped us make better informed choices that will ultimately provide us a higher return on our investment. Without the Newman's, I fear we would have not allocated our money optimally towards options and possibly overspent in the wrong areas. Mickie's eye for design, general cost of upgrades and knowledge of what sells a home helped us make the overwhelming fast-paced two-day design center appointments much easier and cost-effective. After our pre-drywall inspection, we had a serious concern brought to our attention and Mark was persistent in getting the matter addressed by the project managers and was able to reach a resolution to ensure our safety. I would never want to build a home without realtor help. There were many instances throughout the process where we wondered, "Is this normal?" and Mark and Mickie were both right there to tell us yes or no, and if no, they followed up on our behalf, which really saved our sanity. We are so thankful we had this honest, hardworking and personable team on our side. read more

Working with Mark Newman was hands down the best real estate experience we could have imagined -- and this was our very first home purchase. From start to finish, Mark went so far above and beyond! Mark was referred to us by family, and now we understand why everyone raves about him. He combines deep market knowledge with genuine care and integrity. Buying your first home can be overwhelming, especially doing it from out of state, but Mark made the process seamless. He was proactive with updates, incredibly responsive to every question (no matter how small), and always ten steps ahead in anticipating what we might need. What really stood out was how much Mark truly advocates for his clients. He didn't just help us find a house -- he guided us through inspections, offered honest advice at every decision point, and connected us with trusted local resources. His professionalism is top‑tier, but he also has such a warm, personal touch that made us feel supported and confident every step of the way. If you're looking for an experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely kind realtor who will treat your purchase or sale like it's his own, look no further than Mark Newman. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone we know. He made our very first home‑buying experience exciting, smooth, and truly memorable -- and we are beyond grateful. Thank  you, Mark, for helping us find our first home! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Mark & Mickie Newman and the quality of service they provided with the selling of my home. They were genuine and excellent communicators, quick to respond, followed up on every lead, were supportive and careful with the handling the most sensitive aspects of the sale, in short, they went the extra mile and I found that incredibly refreshing in this day and age!! With their excellence, home was under contract in 41 days in a market that was not moving much at all. Again, cannot say enough good things! Their best is very, very good. read more

Mark & Mickie made the whole process of buying & selling painless. They were there for all of our calls and texts. When it came time to sell our house, they gave us suggestions on what we should & shouldn't consider. We highly recommend Newman Realty. Thank you Mark & Mickie read more

We just purchased our second home and used Newman Realty just like we did for our first home, 6 years ago. It's a different market now and we had different needs, but we got the same service from Mark as we had 6 years ago- TOP NOTCH. Excellent throughout the whole process. We always say he treated us like we were his only client even though we know we were not. His communication, thoroughness, knowledge, passion, and professionalism is truly second to none. We would never think about using anyone other than Newman Realty for our home buying/selling needs. read more

Where do I begin?? Mark worked with my wife and I in purchasing our long-term home. Due to the market, we were continuously outbid and ran through frustrations. We called Mark many times for advice and guidance. He was extremely patient and assisted us in finally purchasing a home 2 years later. We saw about 40 homes within the span of 2 years and made multiple offers only to find out we were outbid. When asking Mark for guidance on being competitive, we never once felt like he was pressuring us to make decisions just to get the deal done. He gave expert advice and was always there for any questions we had. He would meet with us day/night, weekday/weekend. And on the times he was unavailable, he would ask one of his agents to assist us. I would HIGHLY recommend any one of my friends/family members to Mark and his wife Mickie. They are the most genuine people I have met and their ability to foster their relationships with their clients is second to none. Thank you Mark for being patient with us! We are enjoying our dream home that you helped us with and your work is truly something special! read more

As first time homebuyers, my partner and I were very anxious about the whole process. However, with Mark and Mickie we didn't have to worry about anything. They communicated thoroughly with us the entire process, and helped us find a perfect home. They answered every question we had in a timely manner and always made time for us. We couldn't be happier with our new home, and I recommend Mark and Mickie a thousand times over! read more

We just closed on our investment property. Mark and Mickie Newman were so easy to work with. They were available, professional and knowledgeable. They generated our paperwork quickly and accurately. They were constantly in touch with us, the mortgage company and the title company throughout this process. We never felt like we were doing this on our own. This is our 3rd investment property purchased in Gilbert, but our first time using Newman Realty. We are so happy we changed realtors and relieved to finally find a full time realtor in the area. We intend on purchasing another investment in the area and will definitely be calling the Newmans. You should too!! Thanks Mark and Mickie!! read more

Mark and Mickie are great realtors and great, caring people. We have used their expertise for 3 real estate transactions and will continue to call them when we need real estate assistance. In today's strange real estate market they have shown up as knowledgeable, experienced professionals. THANKS, MARK AND MICKIE!! read more

I don't know what my girlfriend and I would have done without Mark and his team. Our lease was ending on our rental and we decided it was time to purchase our own home instead of continuing to rent and pay someone else's mortgage. Mark came recommended to us by another couple and we couldn't have been more happy making the call. Mark made the entire process painless, took time to hear our needs, and gave his suggestions when it came time to placing an offer on our home. We wouldn't be homeowners within a month if it wasn't for Marks professionalism and experience. THANK YOU read more

Yvonne McGee with Newman Realty was absolutely fantastic in our quest to find and purchase our first home! We had the added challenge of going through this entire process from afar and were amazed at how responsive she was and the constant updates and communication. She was also very helpful for us as first-time buyers and being new to the area and climate. Offering her insights and wisdom to help us narrow down our search. We've been in our new home 3 months now and Yvonne continues to check in on us and offer support. I will confidently recommend her and Newman Realty to anyone looking for help in buying or selling a home. read more

Being out of state and finding out we had to move was stressful in itself. I found Mark Newman on yelp and looked around for reviews. I decided he would be a great fit to trust in helping our family of 4 move to AZ. Through the whole process Mark was upfront, knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and focused. He was quick to respond to our questions and kept us aware of what was happening with our bids, our buying process, and finalizing the closing. This market has been insanely hard to navigate and Mark led us the entire way!! Even after we moved in he has been in contact and really great. We highly recommend Newman Realty! read more

We did some internet searching trying to find a Realtor who was especially familiar with the Gilbert / Chandler / Queen Creek area. We interacted with several realtors who claimed they knew the area but did not. One realtor was too lazy to get out of the car and sent us in to look at a house alone. Another realtor played on his iPad while we were looking at a house, and acted inconvenienced when asked a question. Yet another said "I am just a 'key access' person, I don't answer questions", and another said they would schedule an appointment for us, and never did. So when I called Mark, I wasn't sure what to expect. I told him the type of property we were interested in, and in what area we were looking at. The property had just received an offer, but was vacant so he offered to meet me there in 30 minutes so I could see if it was the type of property that would work for us. He identified that there were similar ones in the area that might come on the market. He had been through the property before with another client and offered insights of the pro's and con's from the other clients perspective. This was very helpful information as you only get a short time in a home and the more information, the better. We saw a second home that he had also seen previously. Again he shared useful information. We decided to make an offer, and Mark provided the comps, potential insight on appraisal considerations, and guidance on statistics related to market price. Once we made the offer, Mark continued to be there for us. He answered our emails and phone calls promptly, and gave us detailed updates on what to expect, and what had occurred. He was there for us at the inspection, and available to us at closing. (We switched our closing time due to our schedule at the last minute and he had a commitment). Mark was trustworthy, responsive and communicative. He was extremely knowledgable of the East Valley ( I am sure other areas too). If we need find ourselves needing real estate in the future, he will be our "go to" person. We can honestly say that, of all the realtors we have ever engaged in various regions of the country, that Mark is the cream of the crop. read more

My wife and I had been looking for new homes for several years before we finally chose the community that we would love to live in to raise our young family.. The only problem was that there were no homes for sale in the community. We both know a lot of real estate professionals but chose to work with Mark and Mickie based on their prior work with our family and friends. It was the best decision we made. Our situation was very difficult since we were looking at a specific neighborhood without any homes on the market. Mark worked his magic and we were able to view a few homes that were already under contract which allowed us to learn more about the community and the neighbors. While we were viewing a home that was under contract, Mark spoke with a neighbor and learned that a family in the community had been talking about selling their home. After learning that from the neighbor, Mark established a relationship with the potential sellers which allowed my wife and I to view the property before it went on the market which turned out to be our dream home. Due to Mark's patience with the potential sellers and his ability to listen to exactly what the sellers were looking for in the transaction, my wife and I were able to secure the property without the property going to market! My wife and I would not have been able to withstand a bidding war on our dream home but due to Mark's expertise and experience, he was able to structure the deal to satisfy the sellers and secure our dream home without us having to deal with other potential buyers which made the process less stressful and allowed us to acquire the property at below fair market value which is unheard of in this market. Due to the unique structure of the purchase of our dream home, it meant that the sale of our current home was going to be a potentially drawn out process since we didn't know when we'd be moving into our new home. Mark and Mickie were proactive and got our current home ready for pictures in less than a week so we were ready to go to market as soon we moved into the new home. During the listing process, Mark & Mickie went above and beyond with getting us ready to list our home. They spent time with us to learn about our home and the community as part of the listing process which really helped in marketing the property. They hired window cleaners (at their own expense!) and also helped us find local, reliable contractors for repairs. The resources they provided us were invaluable and we've continued to use their contractors and resources at our new home. They had a very detailed plan of attack on the listing process which was implemented on a moments notice once we took possession of our new home. The listing process was executed exactly as they detailed up front. We ended up receiving $60,000 above our list price due to the strategies they used in the listing process and their ability to negotiate on our behalf with the potential buyers (our highest offer was received BEFORE going to market due to their unique strategies on the listing process). Not only did we receive way more money than anticipated on the sale of our home but it was completely stress-free and we didn't have to do anything ourselves to sell our home. My wife and I were very fortunate to have found our dream home for below market price in a crazy real estate market while getting way above market price for the sale of our prior home. After being able to work with Mark & Mickie on the buying and selling sides of a transaction, we strongly recommend Mark & Mickie for all things real estate!!! read more

We just relocated our family from Southern California to Gilbert AZ. Needing a realtor, did some research and came upon Mark Newman's website. Really liked his principle of being an advocate for the community and his clients. Once contacting him and communicating our requirements he quickly started the process of lining up property for us to view. As the trip from CA to AZ is fairly long, he maximized our visits and utilized virtual channels (photos, specs, email, etc) to make things easier and efficient. Mark is very knowledgeable of the Gilbert/Phoenix area and the end to end process of real estate transactions. He advised us through out the process, making sure our best interest in mind and being very transparent. His calm, professional, and honest approach worked well for both my wife and myself. I would highly recommend Mark for any of your real estate needs. read more

We were first time home buyers on RedFin and they matched us with Mark Newman. We were understandably wary of finding an agent on a website but all the fears and worry went away once we started the actual process of putting in an offer on a house. Unfortunately our first offer did not follow through but he remained patient with us. A few tours and houses later we found the one and he was on top of everything. From start to finish he was always in contact with us, always reassuring us of what is going on. They say like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. In the realty world that good neighbor is Mark Newman! Our deal almost went south (not on our end) and he saved the day literally. We absolutely loved working with him and would recommend him to anyone who's looking to purchase or sell their home. We would definitely use him again in the future! Thanks a million again Mark we are so happy to have our first time (home buying experience) be with you. :) read more

Mark and Mickie both have the patients of angels!! We were rather picky looking for our second house, and we saw A LOT of houses. Both Mark and Mickie would always tell us honestly what they liked and didn't like with houses when we asked their opinions, they never seemed like they were trying to sway us, unless the house had a major issue, and they were a pleasure to work with throughout every house we visited. The went above and beyond for us on multiple occasions, and went out of their way to help us on move in day. We had a nasty surprise waiting for Mark the day we got our keys. There was a slight leak with our fridge (old water filter, easily fixed) and he had Mickie come to the house with towels even before he told us about the issue. He knew we were stressed with moving and knew we wouldn't have towels with us yet, so they went above and beyond to help solve the problem before we even knew it was a problem. To me, this truly shows the kind of people Mark and Mickie both are! I would HIGHLY recommend both Mark and Mickie for all of your house needs! read more

We are extremely happy with the service we received from Mark and his team at Newman Realty. We moved here from out of state, knowing nothing about the area. Mark took a thorough inventory of our wish list - which was pretty long. After only two days of touring houses, we found our perfect home. He walked us through some rough patches with the seller and lending company. On close of escrow day he went to the extra trouble of finding out which mailbox was ours so we wouldn't have to try our key in the whole mailbox stand. You will be in good hands with Mark, Mickie and Katie. They are simply the best. read more

Mark was great at walking us through the process of purchasing a home in Queen Creek. He kept in touch with us and explained each process that was going to take place. Every time we sent him an email, he was quick to answer. He was very patient as we looked at properties. If I was going to buy or sell another house I would definitely call him. read more

A few months ago we decided to sell our $500K home in Chandler and buy-up into a fully custom home in an upscale local community. A big deal -- After several very bad experiences with realtors over the past 20 years, I was really going to do my home work this time and NOT use a friend of a friend, etc. After days of searching and triple checking reviews on Yelp, Zillow, etc. Mark made it to the top of my "call" list. After interviewing the cream of the crop, Mark was our guy -- one conversation on the phone and I knew he was the one. And OMG did he EXCEED our expectations. - always got back to us in minutes - every time! - was brutally honest about properties...he discouraged us from some homes due to issues with them...he sincerely wanted us to be delighted with our new home and repeatedly said that we should take our time and wait for the "right" home. - his knowledge of real estate contract law was extremely helpful - his negotiations skills were excellent when we wanted to get the new home price down - perhaps best of all, he sold our home in 30 days - and this was due to some majorly aggressive marketing - beautiful color packets for open houses, refreshments, balloons, signs everywhere...and he gave us candid direction on how to best stage our home - huge difference! He even cleaned the pool when a storm came through the night before. - I could go on and on...but best of all, he and Mickie are truly wonderful people. As a side note, he also sold my friend's son's home in 30 days last month! read more

We came to find Mark and Newman Realty as a recommendation from friends and were nervous to look for our very first house. Mark was kind enough to meet us for a consultation and talk us through the basics as well as work with us on schedule (my fiancé is a pilot), explain the process and help us with our endless questions. We didn't have time constraints on looking but he listened diligently to our wish list and worked hard to find us what we wanted. Within a week of meeting with him, listings came flowing into our inbox, he answered ALL of our ridiculous questions, and helped us to narrow our search. We finally found a house we loved, on a Thursday afternoon, the day the listing became available and Mark rearranged his schedule to make us, wait for it, THE FIRST people to see the house. We were ecstatic to see the house and knew within moments that it was our dream home. Mark was so helpful and patient as we walked through the house, helping us look in every nook and cranny, showing us doors we were too excited to see, etc. While it was probably not ideal that we fell in love with the first house in case we never got to see what else was out there, Mark was supportive and helped us get everything promptly sent in and well... we were accepted! Mark was supportive, responsive and diligent. He answered emails, phone calls, connected all the dots and worked hard to make sure we got the best house ever (I'm bias). He did his part to ensure that everything on our end was easy as could be and the day I picked up the keys, I even conned him into helping me program the sprinkler system! There is something to be said for working with someone who cares more about the people they are working with than just "doing business" -- I would recommend Mark and his team to anyone looking for a realtor who actually listens to what you're looking for and cares! Thank you to Mark for helping us find our dream home - I should have written this 2 weeks ago but we have been too busy doing work on the house! read more

If you are looking for an exceptional Realtor who will go the extra mile to find you the perfect home, look no further! Mark's honesty and expertise in the industry gives every client he works with an added advantage when purchasing a home. Thank you Mark for being AWESOME!! read more

When we decided to move out of state to AZ, my first instinct was to check reviews for a good Realtor in the area. I called and talked with a few Realtors on the phone first before deciding on meeting with Mark in person. From our first phone call, I was instantly at ease with him. He answered the phone right away despite it being past normal business hours. He was very calm, non-pushy and knowledgeable about the area. At our first meeting, he did a tour of Gilbert as we proceeded to see some of the prospective homes. It was a wonderful tour. I almost felt like I was on a historic guided tour of the city. As we coursed through the home buying process, he was always patient and allowed us to come to decisions on our own, never pushing us in one direction or another. I really appreciated his demeanor with us, being more like a trusted consultant than a pushy salesperson. He spent quite a bit of time with us and showed us a lot of homes. When we settled on a new build, we were able to work with his wife, Mickie, who was a pleasure to work with as well. She was a wealth of knowledge as we worked through the new construction process. She was very helpful with things like selecting options, budgeting for landscaping, window coverings and making recommendations on vendors. They are fantastic team! We are so happy that we were able to work with Mark and Mickie! Moving out of state, there are quite a bit of unknowns. Having them by our side as we made the move really put us at ease, made the process less stressful and more enjoyable! If you are looking to buy or sell a home, I would highly recommend Newman Realty. They were responsive, knowledgeable, kind, hard-working and honest people. You won't be disappointed! read more

We are brand new to Arizona and we don't know anyone here. We started our home search about 2 months after moving here. I found Mark on Yelp and read the reviews. This prompted a meeting where Mark explained his house hunting philosophy and his commitment to making sure we were happy with house we chose. I was immediately impressed with Marks knowledge and straightforwardness. Since we knew no one we relied on him for everything. He was so thorough in his recommendations but more important to me was that he explained his reasoning behind everything. It was really nice to be given the information behind his thoughts. We dragged Mark around for what felt like every house for sale in Gilbert. Mark never rushed us and continued to tell us when it's 'the one' you'll know. We nearly made an offer on 2 other houses and somehow Mark knew he wasn't seeing the response most people have when finding the right house. The house we decided on was the last of 5 houses we saw that afternoon. We walked in, looked around and we just knew. It had been on the market for less than a day and already had an offer. Mark was critical in helping us with a strategy to get this house. He helped us with an amazing guy for an appraisal, a wonderful mortgage broker, and the sellers accepted our offer. Mark was amazing throughout the entire process. Most importantly he advocated for us at every turn. I really felt like we were more important to him than the money. That doesn't happen much these days. He was so understanding of our fears and helped me calm down when I was really stressing during the process. When I bought my last house I didn't use a realtor and in hindsight based on this experience, not having a great realtor was a huge mistake. I won't ever buy or sell a home in Arizona without Mark. We're customers for life and I would recommend Mark to anyone in the market to buy or sell a home. We just closed on our house 2 days ago. Mark and Mickie exceeded every expectation we had. BEST REALTOR EVER!!! read more

Note: We were out of state sellers: The distance created some challenges for the sale of our Arizona home and Mark absolutely exceeded our expectations. Not only did he do everything that we requested but worked with us to help get the sale finalized with scheduling outside vendors. This was above and beyond what we expected of our realtor. I can't say enough good things about Mark. Never once did I feel that he was wasn't doing his best to sell our home, nor ignoring us. He was very honest in his approach and open about the process. Do your self a favor and work with Mark. I know we will be using him when we reenter the Arizona housing market when we return in a few years. read more

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Newman Realty. Our timing could not have been worse. We basically listed our house just as COVID-19 hit in early March. We met Mark and Mickie in February as we were getting our house repairs done and getting it ready to sell. When we finished we told them we were ready to move forward and list the house. We had an open house and then the shut down happened and people's priorities changed. What happened after that was a very stressful situation. The property that we were buying out of state fell through. We had so many issues with COVID-19 hindering the sale and purchase and we were stuck in limbo with all of our belongings in storage. Mark was so patient and supportive, going way above and beyond to help us every step of the way. Even helping us to take care of the house when we could not be there. We communicated with Mark with phone calls, texts and emails. He never failed to respond quickly and it was apparent how much he cared. He and Mickie got our house sold in this era of COVID-19 and we could not be more grateful. We highly recommend Newman Realty and Mark and Mickie Newman. read more

I hired Mark to sell my house in Chandler. He is a very nice guy that cares about his clients but in my case his negotiation skills were terrible. We priced the house very competitively and Mark encouraged me to take the first offer that came along, just 36 hours after the home was listed; even though the offer came with strings attached. Mark believed the other agent when she said that her client was a hardship case and needed a break. Mark played on my soft side when he persuaded me to give my beautiful home away so quickly for under list. As it turns out, the buyer was flush with cash and didn't need or deserve all the concessions that I was persuaded to give him. I should have trusted my instincts. Instead I trusted Mark and that was a big mistake. By the time we discovered that we were duped, it was too late to rescind. You live and learn. read more

We just closed on our first home and are so happy to have worked with Mark! What could have become a very frustrating and discouraging experience was actually enjoyable and pleasant due to Mark's professionalism and down-to-earth personality. It was greatly apparent that Mark wanted us to buy a house we loved rather than rushing us through the process. We visited MANY properties, and he never put pressure on us to submit an offer; rather, he always encouraged us to keep looking until we found a good fit. Mark was also very prompt in responding to our calls and emails. His knowledge, sense of humor, and superior customer service left us extremely pleased with our home-buying experience. I would recommend working with Mark in a heartbeat! read more

From the initial email with Mark, I knew he was going to be great. When we met with him, he exceeded our expectations to sell our home and we knew immediately that he was the one to do so. Mark is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and very professional. We had to move quickly due to a career change so having to think about moving across the country is stressful enough! We didn't worry about a thing with Mark. He sold our house in less than three weeks! We completely trusted him with everything. Mickie at Newman Realty was wonderful too! They go above and beyond. We couldn't be happier. Do not hesitate to contact them for your real estate needs! read more
