Testimonials

  • Steve Graumann

    Mark was able to find a home that exceeded my expectations. After looking at several listings, he was able to negotiate an accepted offer on a home with great location, size, and price which I was extremely pleased with. He also took the time to answer many questions and make the purchase a seamless process. I am grateful to know Mark Gidden and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

  • Randy and Kimberly Sawatsky

    You extended yourself far more than we could have hoped, and we are truly grateful. Your name has come up in many conversations with friends. We guarantee you’ll be the first person we contact if we ever move again. Hopefully our friends will do the same. Thanks a million.

  • Rick Maddison

    I have dealt with Mark several times. I have referred him to friends and they always come back and say what a great experience. He is a pro and offers peace of mind because he covers all the bases during the buying process. Plus, his wife is a looker.

  • Sharon Adams

    Thanks so much – we really appreciate all that you have done for us. You were efficient, knowledgeable, professional, and really took care of us to sell our home and purchase a beautiful lot to build our dream home. We’ve already given your name out to our friends – we want everyone to have the positive experience that we had! Thanks again!

  • Drs. Ben and Lize Wiese

    You were very thorough in your search for us and found us a great home in Crawford Estates – but it needed a lot of updating. This is where your building experience really came in handy! You helped us in having our home renovated, so now it’s the perfect home for us. We highly recommend you!

  • Kevin, Sally & Jason Boles

    Kevin and I wanted to thank you for your support, recommendations and negotiations on our behalf during our new house purchase. Your patience as we explored the communities in Kelowna was very much appreciated. Your follow up and willingness to work around our ever changing schedules made our buying process smooth. Being new to the Okanagan, it was comforting to work with a professional that has been in the city for many years. We were really lucky to have found you to help us find our new house which has now become our home. Thanks so much.

  • Kevin J. Zakus

    I met Mark 13 years ago when we bought our first home in Kelowna. He was instrumental in our move to the Okanagan, guiding a young family from Calgary through the Kelowna Market, helping us find the perfect house. Since then I have referred Mark to family and friends and turned to him to help us sell our home this past Winter.
    Mark is a true professional who has exceeded our expectations. Despite being a “buyers market”, Mark maintained a sense of calm throughout the process, during a time when some would panic and make emotional decisions. With over 27 years of negotiating experience he put a deal together that we were happy to except.
    There is no one I trust more, and I will continue to refer Mark to family, friends and clients for their real estate needs.

  • Scott H.

    You guys were great – my condo sold in just one week! You made it all so easy – selling my condo and helping me find the perfect house with a suite. I love my new house, and I couldn’t have done it without all your help. Thanks again – I’ll recommend you to all my friends!

  • Lana Thompson

    Mark sold my house and also got us into our new home. Mark exuded confidence and trust from the first meeting and he maintained a great sense of calm throughout the selling and buying process. He had my house sold 3 days after listing on MLS despite it being a “buyers market” and he managed to bring me competing offers! I was happy to accept the price I was looking for and my expectations were not only met but exceeded. The sales negotiations could not have gone better and I knew I could rely on his years of experience to ensure that everything fell into place as planned. The buying process was equally positive. Mark ensured that the seller of our new place fulfilled every obligation and terms of the sales agreement. He checked and double checked every detail. I would not use another realtor and I’m very grateful for a friend having recommended Mark to me. Thanks and Happy selling!
