My wife and I used Mark Seiden to sell our co-op in Briarcliff this past fall and he (and his team) did an outstanding job. Before deciding on a real estate agent to represent us, we conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice based on the investment they make into selling the property (time and effort) and how they promote their listings. The Mark Seiden Real Estate Team stood out as the best Westchester had to offer. Their online reviews are excellent, their social media presence is extremely strong, and I could tell they put a lot of work into their listings. We spoke with Mark and then met with him at our home. He spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comparable units that have sold in the area. We were concerned that our co-op, which was located in a neighborhood with hundreds of similar units would be tough to sell. Mark made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors dont, like having a dedicated website designed just for our unit, having professional photographs taken, and a lot more. The nice hardcover/bound book he made for us was a wonderful surprise and showed just how passionate he is about selling homes. When we saw our listing we were truly amazed. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and blew away the competition. We received an offer literally hours after going live with the listing. Taking his advice, we chose to decline and wait to see what other offers may come. Hours later the buyer came back and offered full asking price. Needless to say we were ecstatic and would have been very satisfied, but fate had other plans. Mark continued to show the unit (contract was not yet signed) and a few days later we received another offer for way over our asking price. We were in shock. None of the other units in our co-op sold for anywhere near the amount offered by the eventual buyers. Credit goes to Mark and his team for doing such a great job representing our property. Our house went under contract only days after we put it on the market at well over asking price. We accepted and Mark (as well as Amy) walked us through every step of the closing process. It couldnt have been a more pleasant experience. We highly recommend the Mark Seiden Real Estate Team to anyone looking for an honest, hardworking and totally professional agent that has your best interest at heart. Hes a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. I realize it wont always be this easy to sell your property, but I think youd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor to represent you.

I cannot compliment or rave more about the exceptional services I received from Mark Seiden and his team. My property had been listed for years, and with multiple agents throughout Westchester - yet not one was able deliver. As my property was beautiful, but unique; and needed just the right buyer to love it. I always remained hopeful that there was a buyer out there, but I was in dire need to find an agent whose enthusiasm about my property could rub off on a buyer, one who not only had great marketing skills, but who could close a deal; and when I met Mark everything changed. Mark gave me the confidence that no one else could - he assured me that if I left the sale of my property in his capable hands he would sell it quickly. Mark understands the real estate business - and together with his business savvy, his genuineness, his honest and open communications, his extraordinary negotiation skills, his high energy and hard work ethic, he has all the ingredients of a great realtor. Marks team is also a great group of professionals; who are extremely cohesive, competent, courteous, approachable, and always very responsive. They made sure that I was fully satisfied with, and proofed all photos, descriptive scripts, and brochures, before anything was published. If I asked for even the most minute modification, they eagerly and quickly accommodated. They made the entire process so seamless and painless. Although I knew Mark and his team must be juggling many other clients, I always felt they were dedicated to me. I never felt ignored or unimportant, and I would receive a reply to my emails and phone calls within hours (at the very latest) - Mark and his team were always there for me, day or night. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Mark Seiden to anyone looking to sell or buy a property. Mark is unsurpassed in the Real Estate industry, and a "brand" I personally will attest to as someone you can trust. Mark is the epitome of what a premiere service provider should be. After having sales fall through and being disappointed for years, I am glad I finally found Mark Seiden. He lived up to his promises and within 4 weeks I had several offers, within less than 7 weeks I was in contract, and within 9 weeks my property was sold.

We were able to sell our old home and buy a new home within six months because of the Mark Seiden Real Estate Team. The company is set up so that each team member has a job to do in the process and we believe that they have mastered their responsibilities well. From meeting with Mark, to discuss pricing, to having the stager walk through and give her opinion as to how to make our house more appealing to buyers, to the professional photographer who made our home look absolutely fabulous, and finally the marketing package that Mark put into place, the selling process began smoothly. The office communicated with us continuously about the feedback they were receiving from potential buyers. When that special buyer appeared, we were ready to negotiate and that task was a lot less stressful than we predicted. Buying our new home was handled by the entire Mark Seiden Real Estate team as well. When we were ready to begin our search, we discussed exactly what we were looking for and were shown houses that were right on. Each house was thoroughly considered before visiting so there was little time wasted. Again, each member of the team performed his or her job well and when we did find the "perfect" house, the negotiations went just as smoothly as we learned to expect. What we found out was that when a buyer was interested in our home and when we found the home we wanted, Mark and his teams negotiation skills were beyond anything we expected. For our sale, Mark and his team were masterful to protect our selling price and terms. And on the buy side, they were diligent on their research of the property to ensure we knew what we were buying, and negotiated a very good price for our new home. We were so glad we were on Marks Teams side of the negotiations. It saved us thousands. Given the economic climate, the fact that we were able to sell and buy homes in such a short period of time is a testament to the Mark Seiden Real Estate Teams high level of quality and service.

We have known Mark Seiden for over 16 years and have worked with him on over 7 real estate transactions. During this time, we moved for a variety of reasons. We worked with other real estate agents prior but concluded that Mark had the most experience and best understanding of the Westchester real estate market to meet our needs. Familiarity with the luxury home market was extremely important, as this is a special niche, which required a strong marketing skill set. Additionally, we needed someone who had a firm understanding of the local school districts and the area’s offerings. Our homes ranged in price from $400,000 to over $1,000,000. Each transaction involved selling a home and each time his team found buyers in a reasonable timeframe. In addition to our own transactions, we have recommended a number of clients to Mark. He has always implemented the latest technologies including an automated home showing service and e-alerts when new homes came on the market in our price range. One thing important to us was integration within the real estate marketplace. Mark executed marketing strategies that go well beyond what other agents provide. Our area is saturated with claims of high-end real estate agents and brokers offering a lot of hype and “smoke and mirrors.” Mark has over 20 years of experience, setting him apart from all the other agents and brokers in our area. One thing we learned from buying and selling with Mark is how critical strong negotiation skills are in order to close a deal. We have heard horror stories from our friends and relatives on how sales and purchases fell apart because of an agent’s weak negotiation skills. We have never lost a deal or missed an opportunity and we know this is a result of Mark’s strong negotiation skills. You can ask any of our relatives and friends and they will tell you that we would never consider another broker. We have such a comfort level with Mark and his team that there is no reason to consider any other broker. Joanne and Don DelleBovi
