We recently purchased a second home in Cary, NC, while living in Illinois. Mark made the whole process very easy. His quick response allowed us to make a bid which was accepted on a home that was only posted for about one day. He guided us along the way, including which inspectors to hire and other issues to watch out for. His recommendations and advice were invaluable to the process. His friendliness and availability at any time of day or night were a true h...

When it comes to service providers I often have possibly unreasonably high expectations, but Brooks met and exceeded them from start to finish. I felt like I was super demanding and unreasonable and yet he was always friendly, responsive, and efficient. I personally also appreciate salespeople who are able to transcend my common perception of salespeople and be human (and human driven) rather than commission driven. Buying a house is an incredibly stres...

From our first handshake, I knew I had met the realtor I wanted to work with. Mark possesses a sense of calmness that made me feel at ease immediately. I admit, I was intimidated by the process of negotiating the purchase of a home. But under that calm exterior, I could also sense that Mark was more than capable of taking care of the parts of the process I found intimidating. Throughout the entire process, he remained honest, caring, and supportive. He wa...

Having worked with several realtors over the years, Mark is one of the most professional and trustworthy we've ever encountered. Our sale involved three parties in two different states (on just the seller's side) and Mark made sure we were all informed and included every step of the way. He managed the smallest details expertly until the final check was sent to us. We highly recommend Mark VanAlstyne as your real estate agent.

Brooks helped us to purchase our first home recently. He has been great to work with. Even though we did not know much about the area or buying a house in general, it never felt like he was pushing us to purchase a certain type of house in a specific location or time. He is not a “Know it all” type. He went with our pace, listened to our needs well, always showed up on time to homes we picked, and answered all our questions in a timely manner. We never felt ru...

Brooks was absolutely fantastic through the entire process! He was thorough, detail orientated and knowledgeable. I was moving to another state and he was able to sell my home quicker than I would have imagined and for full asking price. He went above and beyond on multiple occasions, as before the actual closing I moved across the country. He handled EVERYTHING on my behalf. I trusted him completely through this process and knew he could handle any si...

Brooks helped me purchase my first home. From the day I met him to the date of closing (3 months) he was very helpful in guiding me through the home buying process. We viewed a few dozen homes and Brooks did a great job helping me squeeze in as many viewings as possible into a limited time frame. With my first home, I wanted to find a place that I could turn into a rental property in the future. Because Brooks has an obvious interest and personal ex...

Brooks worked hard to sell our home in a troubled local market. He was very patient and persisted through the whole process . I would use him again to sell a home .

Bernardo is such a nice, polite, knowledgeable, and fantastic realtor! We were first time homebuyers and we were blessed to have him help us look for our forever home. He was patient as we asked a lot of questions throughout the home buying/search process. When we flew into town he made a list of homes for us to view that were exactly what we were looking for. We are grateful for him because he helped us find our forever home and if we could go back...

Mark is wonderful to work with! He was extremely knowledgeable about the state of the market, and he was patient, generous, and responsive in communicating with me. He's spent a lot of time as a cross country coach, and the coaching aspect came through strongly -- he helped me understand my options at every step of the process so I could make well-informed decisions. I'd especially recommend working with him to anyone who is new to the h...
