Meet Countywide Real Estate Inc.

"I have bought and sold multiple houses through Countywide Real Estate and I have had such great experiences that I will never use another company for my home purchasing or selling needs! Mark & Jenice are very responsive, extremely resourceful and they make every aspect of the process seamless, even the loan application process. They even assisted me with correcting a negative mark on my credit report to ensure the approval of my loan and I was able to purchase my dream home! You will not find a better team anywhere!!!"

"Mark helped us throughout the entire selling process of our home. He provided his expertise by offering tips on staging the house through choosing neutral paint colors, furniture that would be more appropriate for a room without making it look too busy, and moving furniture to allow for an easier, more open flow to the house. He was always available, no matter the time of day, to answer emails or phone calls. He listed our house very quickly and did a very impressive job in the layout of the photos for the house portfolio. Through Mark’s wide network, the number of people that looked at the house was more than I could have ever expected. He did a great job in the negotiations with the final buyer and ultimately made the closing an easy, effortless process. Mark is very easy-going and his warm personality will make your house selling or buying an enjoyable process. "

"I have worked with numerous agents in the past. Mark LaGrande clearly stands heads above the rest with his knowledge of residential real estate and all the complexities of the buy/sell process, his in-depth understanding of local markets, excellent customer facing skills and his integrity. Mark’s efforts to properly market the property and get the word out via various web sites, local agents, and good old fashion contacts are among the BEST. He also will set realistic expectations regarding the home’s value in THIS market, regardless of the past…. This resulted in selling our property in record time, since we followed his advice on small cosmetic improvements and priced it right."

"Mark is the most trustworthy, honest and knowledgeable broker that we have ever dealt with. He is always one step ahead of the curve. We have worked with him on multiple sales / purchases. We strongly recommend Mark if you want to guarantee your best interests will be looked after."

"We bought and sold a home in January 2011 using Mark as our Real Estate agent for both properties. Mark was very knowledgeable about all the nuances of the areas we were consider (such as school systems, access to services and amenities, etc.) and was very informed regarding pricing and the various neighborhoods and how to effectively negotiate pricing for our purchase and sale. Given the state of the real estate market, not surprisingly both our purchase and sales had bumps in the road and were frustrating at times, but Mark kept a positive attitude throughout and helped us focus and stay grounded. Mark was also very hands-on and was willing to answer my calls and plethora of questions throughout the process. In the end, we bought an amazing home at a great price in a neighborhood & school system we wanted (which was the key reason why we wanted to move) and we locked in at a ridiculously low mortgage rate. We also sold our house at a great price as well, especially considering the 2011 market conditions. Mark also helped us find a superb contractor (which was becoming difficult at the time) who we hired to spruce up the old house, before putting it on the market. Mark also put us in touch with a few home inspectors and a wonderful real estate attorney that we used for our transactions who were also top-notch. Clearly, Mark has great contacts with quality service providers necessary in the real estate purchase and sale process. We had a great experience with Mark, and we would recommend him to any of our friends and family in the future that decide to purchase or sell a home. "

"Mark is the best agent we have ever worked with – point blank! He stands out in a couple ways. He’s not trying to sell you a house just to collect a fee. Every time he shows a home, he shows you the positive and negative aspects of the home, so we can make an informed decision. The Countywide Team is super responsive. They usually respond to email and text messages in a couple minutes, which is so important throughout the high-stress process. Mark as all the right connections and great negotiation skills. All the professionals he recommended (mortgage, lawyers, insurance, home inspectors, etc.) are all great and we were very satisfied. Mark really understands the market, and his negotiation skills are on point. He met all our expectations and I would recommend Mark to every homebuyer. Great job! "

"Mark is a real estate expert! He guided me through the pre-sale preparation process (the important ingredient) and within 2 weeks of listing in December 2011, I had a successful negotiation with a qualified buyer. We closed within 37 days. It was a smooth process from beginning to end. I am a real estate attorney (25 yrs.+), but when it came to my property, I needed an expert to manage the sale. Experts need experts, too! He gives excellent advice, solves problems quickly and is always available to discuss issues no matter how small or large. He is patient and most of all, works for the highest benefit of his client. I recommend Mark without reservation."

"Mark combines a winning personality with savvy professionalism and a dedication to his clients that is quite obviously genuine. His insider knowledge of southern Metro-Atlanta — not just the current state of the real estate market, but the communities themselves — make him a great professional to have on your side. Having worked with Mark on both a purchase and, years later, a sale, I can confirm that getting him on your side is a smart decision."

Carol H.

"Mark LaGrande is a true real estate professional. He will guide homebuyers and or sellers in every piece of the transaction from beginning to end. His knowledge in the Metro-Atlanta market helps keep his clients prepared. Once you begin to work with him, he takes an interest to you as a person and wants nothing but the best for your family. He will get to know what you like and need to advise you on how to get the most in your purchase or sale. He also has a solid team of reliable connections in every field that work to his high standards which help you as an existing or new home owner to cover all your real estate needs. Mark is so much more than a realtor…. he can certainly help any buyer or seller sail through their transaction and make the experience pleasurable."

"We were extremely happy with Mark’s professionalism, efficiency and responsiveness. Mark had a focused and effective plan for the quick sale of our house at an optimum price. We were very pleased with the outcome and would readily recommend Mark to anyone looking to purchase or sell a house."
