Succesful Short Sale Buyer

Mark helped a first-time home buyer complete a Short Sale purchase of a house in Seattle. He remained diligent, well-informed, responsive, and honest throughout the three month process. We contracted with a flat fee agreement, and despite unforeseen additional work due to complications with the trans...action, including two liens against the seller, his efforts did not slacken in any way. He also drafted a special contract that we entered into with the seller's tenant so that they would move out when the purchase was concluded so we immediately occupy the house. As a risk averse first-time home buyer I could not have hoped for better counsel and professionalism. Highly recommended!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
