My fiancA(C) and I had such a wonderful experience working with Joe, Dave, and the team at Mark Allen Realty! Being first time homebuyers in the middle of one of the toughest markets in a long time, Joe and Dave helped us through the process and answered all of our questions (we had a ton). From our first Zoom meeting, we knew Joe and Dave would be the team we wanted to work with! They understood our vision and helped us shape it along the way. We did all of our showings with Dave and he was wonderful about communicating and helping us notice things we wouldn't otherwise have spotted. When we were ready to put in an offer, all of the steps were taken quickly. The process was not easy, but Dave and Joe really did help us every step of the way. Our journey as first time homebuyers started a bit rocky when the first property that accepted our offer ended up having some fire damage. When we decided to rescind our offer, Dave was right there with us to continue the showings and to help us reflect. Then, when we got outbid on a different property (due to the current market), Dave assured us that we would continue to be patient and persistent. The next house we put in an offer on is the one we are currently sitting in now...all thanks to Dave, Joe, Kelsey, and the wonderful attorney and inspector they recommended to us. It was so reassuring to have such a great support team, especially considering our lack of knowledge on the process. From frequent check-ins, to open-availability, to honest conversations, the team at Mark Allen Realty will be there for you as you embark on the journey of home buying!

I highly recommend Joe Kersjes and his team. They were all professional, listened to our needs, and provided high-quality service. His entire team was great to work with through the entire process of selling our home. They made the whole process seamless.

My family had a great experience working with Joe Kersjes and his team. He helped us sell our home during the Covid-19 pandemic. Joe is a fabulous realtor. From our first meeting I was impressed with his knowledge and his approach. Joe is kind and dedicated. He walked us through every step and checked-in with us repeatedly to make sure we were comfortable with the process. Joe was also incredibly responsive; he was able to answer all of our questions in a very timely manner, get any information that we needed. It is evident that Joe cares about his clients and their needs. It is without reservation that I recommend Joe to any of your house buying or selling needs.

Very professional, always responded in a timely manner, had a number of different approaches to the process of buying a house that paid off in obtaining a dream house for our family.

With 2021 shaping up to be one of the toughest markets for buyers in years, you want a real estate agent who is willing to push and fight for you to get your dream home. Look no further than Joe and his team at Mark Allen Realty. From the moment we meet Joe, we felt comfortable and loved the way he approached our search. As first-time home buyers, we had tons of questions and changed our minds several times on which suburb we wanted to move to. Joe was patient, insightful and I cant stress this enough aEUR" incredibly responsive. If there was a home that came up that we wanted to see, we often had an appointment the same day or first thing the next day, which was hugely critical considering the low inventory. As lifelong Chicagoans, he helped us better understand the different dynamics of the suburbs and was incredibly knowledgeable of every area we were looking. When we ended up making an offer on our house, we had to do it fast and Joe made sure we understood the entire process. He worked diligently with a difficult seller to cancel all future appointments and accept our offer aEUR" the same day. From that point we worked closely with our mortgage team (who was recommended by Joe and we would also highly recommend aEUR" Guaranteed Rate) and the lawyers. Joe coordinated closely with everyone and kept us informed every step of the way (we again, had a lot of questions). We ended up with a fantastic home in an incredible neighborhood. I would highly recommend working with Joe!

oe helped me sell my condo in the middle of the COVID-pandemic even though I had moved out of the country. I felt Ive found a great friend who is looking out for my best interests and advising me unconditionally. His composure, joviality & resourcefulness easily puts him higher than agents with decades of experience.He is extremely professional in the way he does his work, and ever ready to help with any needs that may arise. He is very easy to contact and communicate with, text, calls, emails whatever works for you, works for him too. Thank you Joe ! You're my favorite realtor :)

As a first-time home buyer, I was very anxious about the entire home buying process. Prior to being referred to Joe, I had met with a handful of realtors that just didnt impress me. Joe put me at ease the minute I met him! He was very thorough on explaining the process upon our initial meeting and throughout the entire home buying process, making sure we knew every possible scenario, so we were ready for whatever came our way. He was always very responsive via text, email, and phone. With the fast-moving market, he worked hard to ensure we were getting in to see houses as soon as they were being listed. During walk-throughs, he was extremely informative and pointed out so many details that I would have overlooked. He is extremely knowledgeable and didnt hold back any information or his opinions. His referrals were just as wonderful as he is. Best of all, he didnt rush me in the decision-making process. I had very specific criteria on what I was looking for and after months of searching, we found the perfect home. I will always trust Joe with my current and future purchases.

Joe is hands down the best real estate agent out there! His expertise, responsiveness, professionalism, and work ethic is truly impressive. We recently listed and sold a house with Joe and he was fantastic every step of the way and was integral to the quick and successful sale of our house. He was always on top of things, always genuinely happy to answer our questions, explained things thoroughly and made the entire experience as stress free as it could possibly be. Kelsey, the transactional coordinator on his team, was also super organized and delightful to work with! Not only is Joe great at his profession, he is also genuinely an honest and wonderful person who you can trust to always be in your corner. He has demonstrated this not only through our recent experience with selling our house but also during our search to buy a new home during which we have seen time and time again that he truly has our best interest at heart and we have come to trust him very much and look to him for advice and take it to heart. I would whole heartedly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a truly exceptional agent. Thank you Joe for all of your help, we can't wait to buy a home with you and wouldn't trust anyone else with any of our future real estate needs!
