About Mark

"Mark is a superstar! I knew that I needed to change my life. But I had no idea how. Mark made me feel I was the only person in his world because he listened to me and got to know me and I felt safe and eager to leave a house of 39 years and enter a whole new world. He sold my house quickly, a house that had many problems, and we set off on an adventure together. He quickly found me a fabulous condo beyond my wildest dreams. He spent so much time getting to know me and my family that he was able to zero in and fulfill all my needs. I didn't know what I needed or wanted, but because he is passionate about people and his work, Mark was able to make what everyone said would be a stressful venture into a fun adventure. Mark starts at 100-percent and I would trust him with anything. And it doesn't hurt that he's as charming as he is handsome!"

"I own over 9 nine investment properties in Southern California. This purchase makes 10. The reason I am sharing that is to demonstrate my experience with brokers, of which I have a lot! Mark Gallandt was extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and caring. He treated me like family, and I trusted him due to his straightforward and honest demeanor. Mark always picked up the phone or called me back, no matter how many questions I had, and always took care of my needs. That is rare in today's busy market. 5-Star all day long!"

"This was my second home purchase with Mark, and once again, he did not disappoint. Mark has extensive knowledge of the Los Angeles housing market, as well as all of the resources and "know-how" he brings as far as evaluating work that may need to be done and issues that arise during escrow. Also worth noting that Mark's experience in financing and different loan products has been a real asset and surely helped me close this transaction."

"Mark was great! He knows everything about the Venice area and the west side as a whole. He helped guide us through every step of the process, and we ended up with our dream house, plus we got it for a great price thanks to his negotiation skills. Overall, I'd highly recommend working with Mark."

"Mark is exactly the kind of person you want representing you in a real estate deal. He's smart, savvy, a good negotiator, and knows how to close the deal. He pays attention to the details, keeps the deal moving along and has the experience to be able to work through any complications. As an investor/flipper, I've worked with many real estate agents and brokers and know what makes them good or bad, and Mark is great."

"I hired Mark Gallandt and Sandra Richlin to Sell My Home in Los Angeles, CA, last August 2021. I was amazed at the speed with which they had the house and property assessed, Cleaned Up, staged, and put on the Market. All was done professionally and with class. I immediately felt that I could trust them and they were looking after my best interests. They hosted several open houses with the class and received several Bids. After the completion of the inspection report, Mark, himself, obtained bids on the work and negotiated a fair settlement. They kept me informed every step of the way through Escrow Closer. They definitely earned Their Commission. Thank You, Mark and Sandra. I was very happy with your Excellent Service. I will definitely recommend you to any Seller or Buyer."

"Mark is a high-energy, bottom-line-oriented broker. There were a few bumps in the road along the way, but overall, Mark did a great job in a very difficult, pandemic-era market environment, with a very unusual property. Mark is the ultimate salesman, and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again or recommend him to others."

"Mark Gallandt is an outstanding and professional real estate broker. Truly knowledgeable, patient, and equipped with great negotiation skills, Mark always answered all our questions in a timely manner and eventually helped secure our 1st house in SoCal. The entire purchasing process was super smooth (no delays whatsoever) and short. Mark is also very flexible with his schedule and always makes himself available and, more importantly, makes us feel comfortable at a pace we would like. Frankly, I can't remember how many late-night calls we had with Mark, and he's always there for us. In addition, he's well-connected and knows lots of people who can be of great help even after closing. Mark is the guy you would want to work with when selling/buying properties, and we would definitely recommend him to anyone! Give him a call and get the 1st conversation going. You won't regret it."

"It was a seller's market when we bought the house. The seller has multiple strong offers on hand and we enter the bidding game a little bit late. Mark is exceptionally helpful,l negotiating with the seller and guiding us through the bidding process. In particular, our loan agent disclosed our bottom line on the appraisal contingency to the seller, which is really not a smart move. Mark immediately convinced the seller that we have enough assets and cash to finish the deal. And we won it. The overall process is smooth. Highly recommend Mark."

"Mark provided very helpful advice to us about the process of buying a condo in the LA area. Being from out of state and not familiar with many of the local regulations and property taxes, having someone who could explain all of this to us was very reassuring and increased our confidence in moving ahead. Mark also helped us set up inspections, which were very useful in knowing what maintenance issues we would be facing."

"Don't let his relaxed demeanor and easy sense of humor fool you, Mark is a shrewd professional. His market knowledge and candid insights will guide one away from risky properties. And when the perfect match is spotted, Mark's tireless efforts and savvy skills will bring the deal to a successful close. We highly recommend Mark."

"Mark helped me find and purchase a home. He was also able to provide suggestions for contractors for renovations, small and large, to the home. Mark was easy to work with, responsive, and was able to negotiate well on all aspects of the offer."
