Mark Palermo – Keller Williams San Carlos

Mark has been an amazing realtor for my wife and I. He’s brokered two deals for us to secure new homes and has come through for us every time. We were working with a private lender and were really impressed with that lender until we went to buy and Mark helped us realize this lender was not as well known and would turn the sellers off. He convinced the sellers on very short term notice that we’d take care of it, and through his many connections connected us with the best loan agents we’ve ever worked with, who secured our loan in a very short time with an even better rate!
Not only has mark helped us find and make the best offers by just enough in an extremely competitive market, he also helped my wife rent her place when she was overwhelmed with her first purchase, and coincidentally Mark found me to rent the place which is how I met my wife. Mark is so good at facilitating connections between people he’s even a natural matchmaker :)
Mark also knows the other agents well in this area, and he can represent you in the best manner possible.
I almost forgot, one of Marks best qualities, is that he will always make time for you regardless of the time of day. He was available for us and is very responsive.
So let me tell you, this guy goes way above and beyond!

We purchased our home with Mark as our realtor. The home purchase process was a long journey in today’s competitive market, filled with many obstacles.
Mark stuck with us all the way with the professionalism, dedication, timeliness and a personal touch that we really valued in our agent.
He has excellent knowledge of the real estate market in the Bay Area, lots of valuable contacts which helped immensely and a real knack for smelling a good deal!
If you are looking for a passionate realtor that will go above and beyond, to serve the best interest of his client, then Mark is your guy!
I would recommend Mark highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is a pleasure to work with, down to earth and if we are to buy or sell again, I will be using Mark again as my Realtor for sure!

Second review for Mark. At a time when inventory is very tight, Mark suggested I try going against the herd mentality and sell. I was rewarded with many offers and just closed a very nice sale for my Redwood Shoes home. It worked out well for the buyer as well so this was a real win-​win. Mark is your Peninsula guy!

Mark is our go-​to real estate agent for San Carlos. He does an amazing job and helped us through an extremely complex buying scenario. He guided us the whole way and went out of his way to talk with all parties involved to get everyone in agreement. He is very personable and trustworthy, and the next time we need any Real Estate assistance he will be the first call we make! Thanks Mark!

What a pleasure it was to work with Mark Palermo — he is an
experienced professional with the highest level of integrity. Mark
executed the sale of my home in Campbell seamlessly. I was confident
that every step of this process was handled with competency and with
great attention to detail. I highly recommend Mark for any real
estate needs.

If you want to work with a sharp, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable realtor, Mark is the realtor you want to work with. Mark helped my husband and I buy our first home in late 2012. We first met him at an open house in mid-​2012 and liked him immediately. We could tell from just a few minutes of chatting with him that he was an experienced realtor who would be wonderful to work with. He absolutely was! We saw about 4 – 5 homes with him over a 2 month period, where he was always, always flexible and willing to work with our schedule. At one home, he even got us an appointment to see it before the open house. During our walk throughs, Mark was always helpful in pointing out the great qualities about houses and always had suggestions when we saw something that deterred us.
The home we ended up purchasing actually had been taken off MLS for a few months and when Mark saw it pop back up on MLS (but not on the public/​Zillow listings), he immediately contacted us and made an appointment with the other realtor. We loved the house the moment we walked in. But after losing our bid for another home to a cash offer, we made our offer not expecting much. But we got the home and it was the extra effort Mark put in and his communication with the seller and their realtor that sealed our offer. We were amazed at Mark’s drive, follow-​through, optimism, and tenacity. I really can’t say enough about Mark, he was fun to work with and made our home-​buying process easy. I recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!

You needn’t look any further for a realtor! Mark is the BEST!
When we made the decision to sell our home in lower Emerald hills of Redwood City, I made an in-​depth study of both the market and searched for all the top sellers in our area. I had it narrowed down to 3 top rated and experienced realtors who all told me my home would sell for about $ 1.5M. One of the realtors even had 3 other real estate «experts» come to my home to inspect and give their opinion and they concurred with his estimate of what my home would sell for. Having done all the market research I just couldn’t wrap my head around why such a mediocre price. Then came Mark! I was immediately impressed by his enthusiasm… something I didn’t get from the other realtors. Even before we were under contract, Mark took the initiative to go to the City and the County Assessor’s office to investigate some discrepancies which directly affected how my property was valued. His «outside of the box» thinking resulted in my home selling in 6 days for $ 1.7M !!! Everyone else said it couldn’t be done… BUT MARK DID IT!

We used Mark to sell our home, the sale was difficult and Mark handled with ease. His attention to detail, industry knowledge and hands on approach resulted in a great sale, and he was fun and easy to work with. We have also used him to find a home and are now living in a great house!

I bought a condo with Mark Palermo’s help as my agent. I was happy with the purchase at the time and still am quite content a year after. He was very knowledgeable of the Redwood Shores area. He was professional, honest and made it an easy transaction for me. He showed a few apartments accommodating my work schedule, and helped me find the type of apartment I was looking for. He made it easy through the loan, offer and closing process by connecting me with the right people. He also spent a generous amount of time taking care of the improvements for the apartment before and after I moved in. I had a positive and pleasant overall experience and would highly recommend him.

I recently used Mark to sell a property that was located in Half Moon Bay.
Mark had a firm grasp of the market on the coast, as well as other mid-​Peninsula neighborhoods. Mark is very honest, hard-​working and got the sale to happen quickly! Mark networked with many builders and investors to get the best price for our property. I found Mark to be the most personable agent I have worked with to date. He kept me Informed anout thecprogress of the sale, offered excellent advice when he was asked and made sure that every step of the sale happened flawlessly!
I wouldhighly recommend and definitely use Mark as an agent again.

Mark is an excellent real estate agent with years of experience selling real estate. I have seen him time and again get max value for his clients homes and his negotiation skills are fantastic. I highly recommend Mark for all of your real estate needs.
