CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Great for Military Families

The first thing Mark did was listen to my family’s situation. A military family with an opportunity to buy the house they were renting or buy another house in the fast-moving Colorado Springs/Fountain CO area. Mark understands completely the needs of a military family since he served our country as well. He acted quickly, reviewed all alternatives and understood how to package an offer for a home that met all our needs and loved. All this happened in one week. Thank you Mark for all your efforts and working with us to see us through the process or buying our new home.

First Time Homebuyer!

I worked with Mark over the span of a few months to find my first home. Mark was so easy to work with and readily available to answer all my questions (there were lots!) along the way. Mark provided valuable insight while also listening to my concerns. Showing after showing, Mark used his knowledge as an engineer to point out pros/cons in the structure of the house that I wouldn't have noticed. I finally found a house and am so excited to be a first-time homeowner! I highly recommend Mark to anyone in the market for their own little piece of Colorado Springs. Thank you, Mark!

So Much More Than a Realtor

From the moment I spoke with Mark on the phone, I felt he was interested in me as a person and not just another sale. I had already completed expensive improvements (new windows, siding and flooring) before meeting Mark and started to feel there was no end to the work needed before I could go on the market. He truly listened to my concerns about my dwindling budget and helped me prioritize and made invaluable suggestions on remaining projects that really increased the appeal of my home to potential buyers. I say he went above and beyond when I had family issues that frazzled me and then helping w/ the behind the scenes prep before the beautiful pictures were taken but he just shrugs all that effort off as "just part of the job." If more people put in that kind of effort in all aspects of life, the world would be a much better place. I selected "client" when filling this out but I truly feel as though Mark has become a friend and I appreciate him more than he knows. Thank you Mark!!!

Easy to work with

Mark did a wonderful job with his market analysis that allowed me to price the home just right. He was very responsive throughout the entire process. He explained all items thoroughly as we encountered various situations. He was extremely professional and courteous at all times.

Lawyer recommended!

Mark is excellent. He is professional, knows the market, and is very knowledgeable about the whole process of home buying. As a retired attorney in another state, I have worked with a lot of real estate agents over the years and thus am in a position to really judge Mark’s capabilities. Although I have a lot of knowledge on real estate, it is not in Colorado and Mark supplied all the needed information for buying and closing on my new condo in Colorado Springs. He listens and is easy to talk to and had excellent suggestions and recommendations. In a stressful market with low inventory, his expertise was priceless. He was available at short notice to view properties and constantly communicating with the process, how to fix issues that came up, and every aspect needed to complete a sale. I highly recommend Mark. You cannot find a more competent and responsive agent.

An engineer on your side

We could have not asked for a better realtor than Mark Hiryak to represent our family. Not only Mark did his research on fair market values; he went above and beyond to ask questions on our behalf, point out advantages and disadvantages that we had not considered for each property that we looked at; and made recommendations for whatever service we could envision that we would need to make a house truly a home. He was with us at each step of the way. He was so responsive; and he worked with our busy schedules as much as possible. We appreciate that he looked at each structure like an engineer. If he didn't have the answer to a question, he'd do the research to get the answer. He stayed with our family on the day of the home inspection. He inspected the house one more time, before my parents closed on the sale; and he came back to the house to check on my parents while their household goods were being moved in. We are so lucky to have worked with Mark! Thank you for everything!

Wonderful Experience

I have known Mark thru my daughter who lives in Colorado. I was in the process of finding a home to buy and my daughter referred me to him. Back then I have not met Mark as I was in California with intent to buy a house in Colorado Springs. Mark sent me a steady stream of pictures of properties to buy with all the details. From these I finally made my choice which turned out to be an excellent choice. Mark even provided me with the tiniest details to assist me in my decision, i.e. - nearest hospitals, police stations, fire dept. department and grocery stores and even the names of churches where I can worship. Mark is a wonderful person to deal with. He is friendly, helpful and very courteous. He accorded me the respect only a person with a genuine desire to help would give. His local knowledge of Colorado Springs is very impressive. His responsiveness is immediate and his knowledge of the real estate business is thorough and masterful.

Amazing to work with

Mark was absolutely amazing. He found us the perfect house in the neighborhood we wanted!! He was able to answer questions at all times and ready on a dime to go see a new listing! We are so thankful that we were blessed with him as our realtor. I can’t imagine how scary it would’ve been without him. Thank you so much Mark!

Ashley Walls, Client

Guided us through a difficult new construction

We highly recommend Mark as a realtor. He is readily available and well organized. He showed us several houses and examined the details of those homes to ensure that we were getting the best value and quality in a home. We decided to have a home built and Mark was by our side during the cumbersome process. He maintained impeccable records and professionalism throughout the project. Thank you, Mark!

The Herrera Family, Client

Bought new construction from TX -- super easy!

We had a great experience working with Mark and are very happy with our new home in large part due to Mark’s knowledge of the area and familiarity with various home builders. Through the entire process of finding a lot and building our home, Mark listened to all of our needs and took great care in helping us navigate the construction of our new home. We really appreciate Mark’s hard work, dedication, and expertise.

Bought & Sold in a crazy market

Buying and selling a house on the front range right now is stressful for most people. Fortunately for us, we didn't have to experience the stress or headache because our realtor, Mark, handles literally everything. Having a great realtor who goes above and beyond to make sure everything is in place and having the research done to help support asking/buying prices really makes a difference. Not only was selling our house a breeze, we were able to purchase our dream home and stay in our price range even with the crazy market. Mark's guidance and experience helped us make all the right choices. He's never pushy or in a rush, just wants the best for all of his clients no matter how long it takes. We are truly blessed to have had his help during this process.

Friendly, knowledgable and patient with 1st-time homebuyers

Mark was fantastic! His knowledge and professionalism saw us through our first home buying experience without a hiccup! He answered all of our question promptly and informed us of every option for each circumstance allowing us to make the best decision for our family. Additionally, Mark was so comfortable to talk to. I never felt uncomfortable or silly reaching out, and always received an immediate response. I will be sending everyone to Mark with complete confidence. Thank you!

The right choice

Over our 28 years in the Air Force, and many years thereafter, we’ve bought and sold a number of homes. In some cases, realtors were merely a means to an end… however, once we found our retirement home in South Carolina, we needed a professional who could make sure our home sold for top dollar, and sold quickly. Mark Hiryak was our first choice; but more importantly, he was the right choice. He fully explained the process, the requirements, and the stacks of paperwork. Working together and following his recommendation, we reviewed comps and set a reasonable price - - and that proved to be the key to success. Our home went on the market Friday, and we had 4 offers by Sunday… all well above the asking price. Bottom line, Mark didn’t just meet our expectations, he exceeded them in every area. Buying or selling, I believe Mark Hiryak is the right guy for the job.

Blessed to have found Mark

I'm not quite sure how I got so lucky as to come across Mark for my real estate agent. Not having my family around to help me with the process very much, Mark took extra time to educate me and guide me through it. My work and school schedule was always crazy and he worked with me in hours that I'm sure other people wouldn't have. One of the best qualities Mark has is learning what his clients want. It took us LOTS of houses for me to discover what I was looking for and he was so patient with me. Not only did we drive all over the city day after day, I never once felt pressured into something. I truly valued his opinion because I knew he was always being honest with me and only wanted what was best for me. I was very particular in what I wanted and I feel very blessed for the home Mark has helped me get. I am so happy with how everything went and couldn't have asked for anything more and I owe all of that to Mark. There is literally no one better.

Took the stress out of selling from a deployed location!

I’m usually not the one to post reviews but I had to make one to document my experience of being a first time home seller. I can not think of one word to describe Mark Hiryak because he was everything great. When I decided to sell my house I was deployed and stationed overseas. One of my good friends referred him to me and I am so happy she did. I was not able to be physically present during the process but Mark made everything so easy and stress free. I trusted him with every and anything when it came to my home. From carpet removal to carpet installation, from plumbing repairs to HVAC/furnace inspections you name it he took care of it all as if it was his own home. When I tell you he was in constant communication with me about everything, I never had to reach out to him and ask for updates. He was always available anytime I needed him. Mark made me feel so comfortable that whatever he suggested I went along with it because that’s how much I trusted him with my house.

5-Star Service

Mark gets a five-star recommendation! We were relocating to a seller's market in Colorado Springs and were frustrated with the difficulty in finding a house that fit our specific requirements. Mark listened closely to what we were looking for and continuously modified and expanded his search to help meet our needs. He was patient and always put our best interests first. Once he found us the perfect home, he acted quickly to ensure our offer was tailored perfectly. After it was accepted, Mark even gave his time to cover for various inspections and repair visits while we were still out of state. He stayed closely involved until the sale was closed and even continued to help us with the logistics of our move afterwards. We are happy to now call Mark a friend and give him the highest recommendation to anyone who is looking to buy a home. Mark will put your interests in front of his own! Thank you, Mark!!

Best Realtor we've worked with ...

Mark Hiryak is a great Realtor! Due to his careful planning/prep work, our house was the top trending house on Zillow (for the single day it was on the market). In one day, we had 16 showings, and received 5 offers, all for over our asking price! Our house sold for $14k over asking and we had a great time working with Mark. In Mark’s past life he was an engineer, and he brings that analytical thinking when he represents you in the sale or purchase of a home. As a true student of the market, Mark studied our neighborhood and used a method similar to an appraisal to decide a precise asking price for our house. We have worked with other realtors in the past, and none have been as diligent, intelligent, and willing to go the extra mile as Mark. Hopefully we will move back someday so we can work with him again!

Bought sight unseen from another state

As a military family, we have had our fair share of Real Estate Agents and Mark has by far taken our #1 spot. We were purchasing a home from a different state and Mark went above and beyond in helping us find the perfect place to live. He recorded home viewings for us and uploaded them to a shared folder for us to view almost immediately. Mark's attention to detail is impeccable and he provided us exceptional feedback on every house viewing we requested. Once we were ready to purchase our new property Mark again went above and beyond and attended some of the inspections on our behalf and provided excellent feedback once they were complete on anything that we may have to do, or how we were going to proceed from there. We will definitely be recommending Mark to anyone in the market for a new property. I wish that we could take him to an other duty locations we may see in the future! Thanks again Mark!

Highly recommend

It has been such a pleasure having Mark as my realtor. He is hard working and has gone beyond my expectations many times. In addition, he is very detailed and always one step ahead throughout my home selling process. Mark is very punctual, pleasant and most of all easy to communicate with. I honestly could not ask for a better realtor. I highly recommend him.
