A. Lopez "I am still in awe on how Mark handled the sale because this is such a unique situation as obstacles beyond our control kept preventing the sale to proceed. His expertise was evident in the suggestions and advice he gave which satisfied our questions and concerns. .....He has a pleasant personality, patient and caring. We also appreciate the donation he made on our behalf." |
|
R. Dreisbach “I want to thank you on behalf of my sister Joy and brother Rodney……you really did a great job selling Sylvia’s condo in Goleta. I know the road to success was not always easy but you seemed to handle each new hurdle as it came and didn’t seem to skip a beat in your effort to make the final deadline of the 18th to close escrow. Never once did you step beyond your professionalism of doing a good job for us.” |
|
J. & J. Mayhue “We are grateful for all your work in getting Mon’s house sold. We think you went “the extra mile” to help us and it was really appreciated.” |
C. Clark “In my opinion Mr. Moseley was very competent in his performances, has a great personality and the desire to give the best of himself.” |
|
B. Lewis “We were referred to your agent, Mark Moseley, by our lawyer, Patty Jasper, and it didn’t take long to find out that we had become extremely lucky- it’s not easy to find reliable people when you don’t know anyone personally to call on. The very first time we met with Mark we were very comfortable with him and trusted him completely- we were not disappointed. He never became discouraged (as I did) and he worked his way through it to a successful completion. He took care of all of our needs, which were considerable, considering that we live in Tennessee and it was necessary to call us to keep us informed of developments- which he did with clarity and honesty and courtesy.” |
|
B. Lewis “You were always patient, courteous, understanding, extremely helpful, up to date informative, and gentlemanly on the phone and in your presentations to us. You were the ideal agent for our situation and we were very fortunate to have you. I have no complaints at all!!” |
S. Gottlieb “I want to let you know what great service I got from Mark Moseley in my transaction. He really went beyond the call of duty, especially the day he helped me clean out the garage! Mark really helped me through a tough process and I think he’s just great!” |
| S. Howland
"Last December Mark Moseley helped us purchase two homes in Santa Barbara, and I'm writing to let you know how much we appreciated his expertise and his guidance. The long delay in sending this commentary is no reflection of any lack of enthusiasm for Mark; we've just been busy. We had a great experience working with Mark and Cathy. We looked at a lot of homes, and wrote a handful of offers, before we were able to complete the purchase of these two homes. We found Mark to be very knowledgeable, always available to answer questions, and of course very pleasant to work with. One of the homes we bought was a short sale, and Mark was able to steer us through this very long process, which had several ups and downs. We had a last minute problem with our insurance provider, and Mark found us an excellent insurance agent who was able to quickly write a policy for us so we could close the escrows on schedule. In summary, we feel we were very fortunate to work with Mark and Cathy, and would enthusiastically recommend them to any friends who need a highly qualified realtor in the Santa Barbara area." |
| R. Mitchell & J. Fuess
"We would like to take a moment to express our appreciation to Mark Moseley for all of his hard work in helping us as it was due to him that we were accepted as the winning bid. Mark's excellent reputation, availability, never ending patience, and knowledge of the business make him an invaluable asset to any organization." |
D. & S. Curtis “My husband and I were extremely impressed with his 24/7 availability and responsiveness. Mark was willing to go the extra mile, which not only endeared him to us but also led us to recommend him to our other home buying friends.” |
A. Evans “I would like you to know that the entire process was made easier through the assistance of my real estate agent Mark Moseley. I came into the process of buying a new home for myself with relatively little knowledge of how to go about it. Mark assisted me in every step of the way and really made what could have been a difficult process far easier. He took the time to explain every step, sometimes more than once so that I could understand the different nuances of what was happening. I greatly appreciate having had Mark at my side during this experience. He was a pleasure to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.” |
J. Kramer “Recently I was fortunate enough to purchase my first home. I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the help Mark gave me in locating a property and making a purchase. He was always available for questions, which meant a lot to me as a first time buyer. One of the things I wanted to point out was Mark’s ability to make someone who had no idea what to expect when purchasing a home comfortable during what I considered a very difficult decision. In closing I think Mark often went out of his way to help me make the right decisions and I greatly appreciated his help and look forward to working with him in a future home purchase.” |
C. Palmer “Mark Moseley assisted my husband and me in our first home purchase. Our condo purchase experience was substantially enhanced by having Mark’s extensive experience, professional connections, and warm approach guiding us through a daunting process.” |
I. Earl “Gordon & I feel very fortunate to have worked with you in findings our first home. You were so very helpful, dedicated and (extremely!) accommodating to us. |
R. & L. Friedman “We are writing this letter in appreciation of all of the work that Mark Moseley put into getting us into our first home. Mark was available seven days a week; he spent many hours working on our deal and a lot of time at the house before we bought it overseeing all of the repairs that were contingencies to our escrow closing. He led us through the process and with his help we felt very well represented.” |
N. & T. Bobes "His efficiency allowed us to move from making our offer on October 27th to entering escrow within days. A shortened escrow enabled us to own our home on Nov 13th. This was made possible by Mark’s professionalism and genuine caring. We will always be grateful. His attention to all the details of such an important transaction made it so easy for us." |
P. Parker Mark helped my wife find a home in the More Mesa area and then was very helpful in getting us moved in as it was very stressful trying to get things done over the phone from London. I could list many helpful things that Mark went out of his way to assist (such as picking up a car at the dealer and letting workmen into the home) but let me just say that we could not be more pleased or surprised at how much Mark helped the whole process. Having dealt with Real Estate brokers in Chicago, New York, London, and Mississippi in purchasing homes before we were skeptical of value provided by the broker but Mark was truly “Best of Breed” from our point of view. We have and will continue to recommend Mark’s services. |
G. Grant "My family and I recently moved to Santa Barbara from London and we purchased a home in Montecito....... When we finally found the house we wanted Mark put in an incredible amount of work to make the deal happen and then to see that the transaction went smoothly from start to finish which was very important to us as we were still living out of town. Mark attended every inspection for us, got us set up with local contractors and generally helped us make a difficult move seamless." |
|
F. & K. Katch "Mark came highly recommended to help us buy a home. He lived up to all expectations. He did everything possible to make the search a relatively pleasant experience--he was always on time, he followed up immediately with anything we asked of him, and it was just so worthwhile to have his expertise help guide us in choosing a home.......I might say he was more than just another broker. He went out of his way to get information for us, he made calls on our behalf to obtain a contractor to have some work done, and he was able to apply his expertise to help us get things done before we moved in and even afterwards........In addition, Mark was ever so thoughtful to make a donation on our behalf to a charity of our choice--this was an amazing gesture, especially when we saw the amount of the contribution. We had never expected the amount to be so generous--but it was not unexpected as that is his nature........All in all, Mark's extraordinary service and dedication to all aspects of the transaction made the experience totally worthwhile." |
L. Nelson "When I found out my sister and I would be needing a real estate agent I asked my best friend (who used to be an agent herself and is now an attorney) who said without hesitation, Mark Moseley. My CPA recommended Mark also. There are hundreds of agents in Santa Barbara and both of these people in my life recommended Mark. That says a lot. The whole process took approximately 7 months to complete. And...I feel that even though my work with Mark is done, I can always call him and know I will be treated with such kindness and professionalism. Mark took care of everything without hesitation or complaint. I don't remember scheduling any appointments on my own. He made the arrangements with the inspectors. He got together different estimates and I picked the one I wanted to work with. Mark attended all of them ...Afterwards, we would sit down, go over every detail of the inspection, highlight and make a "to do" list. What I really got from Mark was the sense that his years in the real estate business have served him well. He knows people from every walk of life. There were always people that Mark could refer me to. That has been so helpful. I now have a great property manager that I picked from his many referrals. With so many properties to look at, it was important to me that my realtor really understands me. Mark "got it" very quickly........Mark and I bided our time and came up with some real quality properties." |
B. & K. Spauling “We wanted to thank you for all your help and hard work in making one of our dreams come true. You made the whole process so comfortable and worry-free, always looking out for us, taking care of countless details and explaining everything along the way.” |
R. Craven “Mark did an outstanding job for us. He was very courteous and cordial at all times. He quickly identified our needs and preferences in housing and was very efficient at showing us the available properties. He was sympathetic and helpful in getting us through “California sticker shock.” Once we had selected our house, Mark kept working with us to assure that the close and move would be accomplished on schedule. The seller was under a significant amount of stress and was having difficulty accomplishing all of the tasks that were necessary. Mark worked closely with the listing agent to eliminate problems and keep the move on schedule. We were pleased with Mark’s ability and personality.” |
A. Juan & N. Fujioka “His extensive knowledge of the Santa Barbara market as well as his expertise in real estate transactions helped us to find a great home. I should also mention that the real estate agent representing the seller, commented that one of the key reasons why our offer on the home was accepted (there were multiple offers on our home) was because of Mark’s great reputation as a professional and fair agent.” |
B & L Damask “Mark has proven himself to be one of the most professional and attentive agents we’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. He did everything in his power to match us with the right home until he was able to introduce us to 131 Pomar Lane. We love this house, we’re very happy and we’re grateful to Mark for making it happen.” |
G. Schlachter “…Let you know how much I have appreciated what you have done for me over the years. There is no question that your persistence and concern have benefited me and my family immensely. Thanks for all your help.” |
H. Wald “I approached this whole concept of acquiring investment property with some reservation and had strong doubts as to whether I would eventually go through with the idea. But, you led us, step by step, through the maze of complications and potential problems seeing to it that everything worked out. It was this extra concern on your part that gave me the peace of mind, knowing that although I was three thousand miles away, my son was always in good hands, being taken care of by a friend.” |
J. Slicton “Mark Moseley has been our agent and it is difficult to put into words the esteem we feel for Mark. He was there for us in all situations. He not only handled every business aspect with the greatest of expertise, he sustained us emotionally through some very difficult personal situations, as well as through the difficult purchase process. He is eager, enthusiastic and energetic, yet laid back at the same time. We never felt pressured. He always made himself available to us and never let us feel that we were a “pain in the neck,” which I’m sure we were. Mark has a wealth of expertise and information at his fingertips. He anticipated our questions and concerns, often before we voiced them, and had the answers for us immediately. We cannot say enough positive things about him.” |
D. & R. Gallagher “Mark helped us purchase a home and has followed through even after the escrow closed. I would just like to let you know what a fine person Mark is, though I’m sure you know already. Mark handled our situation with total professionalism and for that we are grateful. If there were more Mark Moseley’s in this world we’d all be better for it.” |
| J. & M. Sheehan
This is to thank you for your excellent service as our real estate broker during the recent sale of our house. We were very pleased with the sale and the help and support that you provided during the process. The asking price and the subsequent selling price were higher than we expected during this difficult real estate market. For that we are grateful for your advice. Your assistance and guidance in handling a number of problems that occurred during the escrow period were of a great help to us. |
Susan Erburu Reardon I am pleased to say that Mark provided excellent service. He provided insightful information regarding prospective buyers and a good strategy for marketing and selling these properties for the highest value. Mark always responded to my questions in a very timely manner and was proactive in bringing matters that needed KCET's decision to my attention. |
| L. KNOWLES ATTORNEY AND COUNSELOR AT LAW To Whom It May Concern: Please accept this letter of reference for real estate consultant, Mark Moseley, of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage of Santa Barbara. Approximately 11 years ago, my mother and father moved to Santa Barbara from Denver, Colorado. The realtor they chose was Mark Moseley. After conducting an extensive search, Mark found their "dream home." For the past 11 years, they enjoyed living out their retirement together in Santa Barbara. Unfortunately, my father passed away on August 10, 2004. At that time, my mother decided to sell their condominium. I went out to Santa Barbara to personally coordinate and oversee the sale. Not having been involved in the original purchase of the condominium, and acting as my mother's attorney-in-fact, I chose to interview Mark and nine other real estate professionals. Simply stated, Mark provided a solid marketing plan, had intricate knowledge of the Santa Barbara market, knew exactly what price-point would draw the most potential buyers and offered to personally help my mother in any way he could. After hiring Mark, I felt so comfortable with his professionalism that I brought my mother back to Denver and left the rest up to him. On numerous occasions, Mark scheduled and was on-site to coordinate the things necessary to sell a home. Among other things, Mark: contacted a reputable cleaning company to properly stage the house for sale and was on-site during the cleaning; went by the property after showings by other agents to ensure that it was secure; staged and attended an open house for brokers; personally held an open house for the general public; sifted through the maze of the buyer's numerous inspection reports; and translated the buyer's inspection reports to me in plain English. Within three days of the condominium being on the market, Mark found an offer. Through a series of counteroffers and communications with the buyer, Mark negotiated the sale for approximately $30,000 higher than the highest comparable in the development. After the condominium went under contract, Mark recommended a highly reputable moving company. Thereafter, he met with the moving company representative who indicated to me that Mark was easy to work with and very pleasant. Needless to say, the move went very smooth. Finally, after all was said and done, my mother received a letter from Mark thanking her for her business. As an added bonus, Mark indicated that he had made a donation to my mother's favorite charity, The Santa Barbara Music Academy, in her name. This generosity illustrated to us that he is also concerned about the community he serves. As an attorney and businessman, I appreciated Mark's ability to not just sell real estate -- but to be a true advocate for his clients. This was a seamless transition that my mother and I valued in this difficult time. Please feel free to contact me at anytime regarding this reference. |
S. Duke "I appreciate your diligence and professionalism in bringing this about in spite of the many challenges we encountered." |
V. & A. Freidell "Once again it is a pleasure to write a letter regarding the professional way Mark Moseley handled the sale of our home, which closed on October 1, 2003. We had kept in close contact with Mark concerning the sale of our house when we made the decision to move. As the time grew closer we called Mark to come look over the house to help evaluate what was important to prepare for the sale. Mark was especially helpful in giving us guidance on this phase. When we were given the date for the move, Mark began helping us by preparing color presentations of the house and detailed information of the rooms and location. The house was ready for showing in July and an offer to buy at full price was accepted July 8, 2003. During this time Mark kept us up to date on all the activity and calendar of things to be done and helped us understand the stacks of papers to be signed. We really appreciate this and his way of showing love and respect for this community by contributing to his client's favorite charities." |
J. Smith "I want to extend my thanks to your office, and specifically to my agent Mark Moseley, for excellent service over the past 18 months. I had asked Mark to represent me in the sale of my family estate property because I knew how completely professional and thorough he is. This certainly proved true. In what was a long and difficult sale, Mark held tight and maintained a very high level of professionalism." |
T. Walsh “Thank you again for helping us to market and sell our condo. We really appreciate all your help and advice. I’m so glad it sold as quickly as it did.” |
C. Nemes “Knowledge of the community, expertise in his profession, and perseverance during trouble some times, honesty and integrity in all matters detail oriented, conscientious of seller’s needs and buyers- obviously highly respected by all, a “flag ship” for your company. These are just a few of his attributes.” |
J. & L. Kilpelainen “Because of our desire to find a motivated, professional agent to represent us, we carefully interviewed several agents, including you, asking tough questions such as; “How many homes similar to ours have you sold this year under these economic conditions?” After signing the listing with you, we were very impressed with the amount of activity that you generated within only a few days. We were more surprised when you presented us with an offer within the first week! Our escrow closed within four weeks, even though we encountered serious complications during the course of escrow. We are both convinced that our transaction would not have closed at all had it not been for your professionalism, patience and ability to work with people.” |
J. & C. Phillips “Thanks for all the help and support you gave us throughout the sale of our house. There were a couple of “touchy” times there, and you were especially helpful in getting us through them.” |
W. Clary “In the last thirty years, my wife and I have bought and sold seven homes in California and Oregon. I can honestly say that our best experience to date has been with Mark Moseley. His experience and communication skills really made selling our home a breeze. I felt comfortable letting him take care of all the detail work that goes with any transaction.” |
G. & J. Medeiros “Mark did an excellent job working with and for us on the sale of our home in Santa Barbara. He has a great personality and spent numerous hours working to educate us on the process of selling and showing our home. Mark is definitely a professional in his field and a pleasure to work with.” |
S. & S. Semans “We chose Mark Moseley as our agent on the basis of our past knowledge of his integrity and professionalism. We fully trusted that any offer which he brought to us would be satisfactory and therefore were able to confidently make an offer on a house in Sunnyvale. The sale of our home, although relatively simple, had many ups and downs beyond the control of any real estate agent. With the assistance of Mark, we were able to close our house in Santa Barbara within 12 hours of the original expected time, much to the surprise of our agent and escrow officer on the buying end.” |
H. Thompson “We were very pleased with Mark’s performance in listing and selling our investment property. Arranging inspections, showing the place, and dealing with my tenants went very smoothly. He priced the property just right, factoring in the condition and demand for that type of property. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother transaction.” |
| R. Friedman
Mark Moseley is intelligent and creative. He has consistently gone above and beyond what is expected while maintaining a positive and humorous attitude. I have selected him to represent me in 3 real estate deals over the past 12 years, the last one closing this week. Having other brokers involved, on the other side of these transactions clearly shows that Mark holds himself to standards; I believe other s can only hope to achieve. The last 2 times Mark represents me there were many unforeseen delays and errors, yet always on the other side. Through it all Mark networked with finesse, al l the while calming y fears and immediately addressing all of my concerns. |
| J. & M. Sheehan 112 Calle Bello "Mark was the agent for the purchase of our house in Santa Barbara and the co-agent for the sale of our condo in Montecito. We appreciate the patience that Mark exhibited....... In both transactions, the help and advice we received regarding paperwork, inspection, etc. Were quite valuable. In addition to his expertise, we consider Mark to be a nice person and exceptionally ethical. We plan to contact Mark when it comes time for our next move." |
K. & A. Arvesen “Thank you for all your hard work you did to get us in our new home.” |
A. & P. Martin “Mark Moseley is an excellent and highly professional member of your organization. We have had the opportunity to work with Mark in prior years and had been very pleased by his professionalism, manner and attention to detail. Once more he came through for us by keeping our expectations at realistic levels and directing us through the sale of the Foothill property and into the purchase of our new home. Marks incredible patience, understanding and ability to deal with complex and intense situations when they arise set him apart.” |
V. Freidell, M.D. “When we decided to put our Hope Ranch home on the market, we chose Mark A. Moseley, Broker Consultant, to handle the transaction. This decision turned out to be the best one we had made for many years. We have known Mark since he was a child. Mark handled the two years of caravans, open houses and appointments with aplomb and the arrangements of the sale of our house very skillfully and took a personal interest in making sure we understood, often, confusing documents to sign.” |
M. Buck “Mark always kept us informed and personally attended to the details and the time schedule. He helped with appraisals, working with us on those last minute items that should be done to properly show our old house. Mark warned and counseled us through the ‘hot market’ and possibility of multiple offers and bidding wars. Boy, was he right!” |
J. & J. Gray “Mark’s innate ability to stay calm, courteous and professional at all times helped keep everyone on task to culminate in the closing of our escrow early. We think Mark is an outstanding member of your Coldwell Banker office, he is extremely knowledgeable, handles all matters with cool aplomb, calmly negotiates and has a high morality that many people should aspire to.” |

S. Smith “Mark Moseley, the agent who handled the purchase, was outstanding. This was a difficult purchase, due to time constraints and distance involved. Mark handled the transaction with professionalism and at the right time, a sense of humor. Mark was always there when questions were needed to be answered, and always represented his client’s best interest.” |
L. Knowles “I want to thank you for all of your efforts in assisting my parents with the purchase of their condominium. Because, I live in Colorado, it was very difficult for me to ensure that the price of the condominium was fair, the condominium was properly inspected, and that they obtained a fair interest rate on the mortgage. Thankfully, you provided excellent representation through the whole ordeal. If is refreshing to see professionals, such as yourself, who genuinely care about their clients’ needs and are not solely driven by bottom line profits. My parents feel that you treated them no differently than a purchaser of a multi-million dollar estate.” |
