Testimonials
"The buyer's agent did his best to find problems with the home. In our case the foundation quality was questioned during a buyer's inspection. Moisture was detected along two basement walls after a rain, suggesting a big problem with the foundation and a request for a sizeable price reduction. Mark took it upon himself to test moisture levels in that area and he researched the original plans through county records, where he found proof that all original construction methods were sound and that the issue was limited to surface water and easily corrected. Additionally, an issue of easement rights involving our utilities was brought up by a neighbor who shared the easement. Mark worked with the neighbor and the buyer’s agent to resolve the problem. Mark was able to mitigate the requested price reduction saving us tens of thousands of dollars in the process. We looked forward to daily calls from Mark through the entire process. "

"Working with Mark Hudson of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate was a fantastic experience. We assumed that the home we were preparing to sell was in our family trust. I expected it to be a straightforward process. It was not to be. The home belonged to my parents and they had both recently passed. The property involved myself and other family members. The house went into escrow very quickly after the initial listing. However, we learned after it went into escrow, that the home was not in the family trust but was still in a deed of trust signed by my parents. The situation became complicated with probate court and lawyers. Mark was very patient and was able to keep the process moving forward through the close of escrow. He was very attentive to my needs and worked closely with me, the title agent, and the buyer's agent to keep the sale on track. Mark was a great advocate for our family, he kept me informed and helped me achieve my objective as trustee of the estate."

"Mark was in constant contact with me, the new buyer’s realtor, his real estate company, he was representing at the time, and the bank handling the transaction. Things were touch and go, and I was nervous during this process, but Mark was reassuring. Timing wise everything fell into place and my mom’s house closed on February 18, a little over a month since it was listed. In closing, should anyone be interested, Mark Hudson will go above and beyond in helping you either sell or purchase a property. He’s very knowledgeable, calm, persistent, and extremely easy to talk to. I consider Mark a very good friend who I’m still in contact with. "
