Testimonials

  • Brenda Barnes

    Mark was awesome! My daughter and her finance purchased their first house in Nakusp which is obviously a little out of the way but Mark made the trip out and met with the home inspector to go over everything and personally view and inspect himself. Since he has built houses before he definitely knew what to look for and it really put our mind at ease. We would definitely recommend Mark and will definitely use in the future!

  • Jillian Connors

    Mark has helped us purchase a house twice as well as sell our house. He possesses a great amount of knowledge of real estate in the Okanagan and his experience is definitely an asset. He did an exceptional job of negotiating on our behalf with each sell/purchase and we always know that we are in good hands with an agent we can trust to have our best interests in mind!

  • Bonnie Davidson

    Lloyd Taverner is an amazing realtor! He asked us some meaningful questions to determine what kind of place we were looking for. Without delay, he showed us a variety of appropriate properties so that we could narrow down our search. And then Lloyd used his considerable skill as a bargainer to make an offer and get the best deal possible. He carefully explained our rights and responsibilities as buyers and kept us informed of developments through every step of the purchase. Lloyd’s friendly, easy-going demeanour helped us keep things in perspective when a difficult issue arose and his calm, supportive manner gave us reassurance throughout the entire process. We were totally impressed with having Lloyd as our realtor and would do so again in the future without hesitation! Bonnie & Bob Davidson

  • David and Donna Mulock

    Another successful real estate transaction with Mark and his team! Our family has enjoyed a long association with the team and the result has been multiple home sales and home purchases. Their advice and negotiating skills coupled with their market knowledge has saved us many thousands of dollars and more importantly, time. We would not hesitate to recommend Mark and his associates to anyone thinking of buying or selling a home in the Kelowna area.

  • Laurie

    We must say, the best Realtor we have dealt with in buying not one, but two homes in the past 5 years is Lloyd Taverner, whom we now call a great friend. He not only sells you a home, but takes time out of his busy schedule to talk to you anytime you call or will come visit you in your home if need be. Lloyd will absolutely listen to all your concerns with purchasing that perfect place you want to call home and we are so grateful he is our realtor and always will be.. Thanks for all you do Lloyd.

  • Andrew Gordon

    Mark Gidden helped us buy our first house and made it such an easy journey that we certainly chose to work with him again to sell our first that house and buy our next. Once again, he made the complicated journey of selling one house and buying another smooth and comfortable. His guidance and advice were always good and definitely contributed to us getting the best value in both the sale and the purchase. Mark’s professionalism, coupled with his genial demeanour make him a pleasure to work with. I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a house (and I have to my family).

  • Joni Norquay

    You were unbelievable in suggesting a flip house for me to purchase and you were right! Within 12 months and a little elbow grease I was able to make close to $80,000. Thank you for selling it so quickly, too!

  • Scott & Trina Speiser

    “Without a doubt the best decision we made in protecting our biggest personal asset was getting your team to list our house. We needed someone with a strong market presence and expertise of skills. Your strong negotiating was so evident in the sell we also asked him to handle our buy. Great value in listing with Mark Gidden and Associates.”

  • Dane and Catherine Optland

    We were very pleased with all the effort you put into selling our home. You had great pictures taken…., had our home advertised in many locations. We really appreciated the feedback after showings and even gave suggestions as to what we could do to help the house show better. You were able to negotiate a good offer and we felt comfortable throughout the whole process.
