REVIEWS

Mark and Andrea Lubberts

We had a very unique situation when selling our place that took extra coordination, but Mark stepped into the situation and figured it out as if he had done it a million times before! Really appreciate you walking with us through this process!

Ava Miedema

Mark and his team were a gift. This was our first experience selling and Mark and his team answered all of our questions and helped us “trust the process”. Helped explain all of the steps and it was simple and quick to listing to closing!

My wife and I worked with Mark VanderWal of EXP Realty for the sale of our home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. If you are considering a real estate transaction, I strongly recommend you engage Mark. The overall experience with Mark was flawless, but here are just a few parts of the process we especially appreciated. 1. He took the time to get to know us and understand our goals, expectations etc. before he made any recommendations. 2. He is a true expert. His overall approach to selling and marketing a property is grounded in his years of real estate success, his deep understanding of specific markets and his expertise in current marketing and sales best practices. 3. He clearly laid out the steps he would take to sell our home. There was no guesswork. 4. The big decisions e.g. asking price, overall timeline etc. were made collaboratively. 5. Mark has a network of people e.g. painter, home handyman, moving company who did outstanding work for us. This saved my wife and I significant amount of time and stress vs. searching for these services on our own. 6. He was always available when we needed his input. Whenever we had a question or something to discuss, he responded very quickly. I am 100% certain that you will have as great an experience as we did if you select Mark VanderWal as your realtor. One other note, even if you’re not considering a real estate transaction any time soon, I suggest you follow Mark on social media. You will gain valuable knowledge and wisdom on life and in real estate.

Working with Mark was an incredible experience, and I truly could not imagine going through such a significant life milestone with anyone else as my realtor. Mark brings a rare combination of deep knowledge, professionalism, patience, and genuine care to every part of the process.  He is incredibly thoughtful, detail-oriented, and consistently communicates clearly, which makes what can often feel like an overwhelming experience feel manageable and well guided. What stands out most about Mark is how much integrity he brings to his work.  He truly cares about the people he is helping and approaches every conversation and decision with wisdom, honesty, and calm confidence.  It is clear that he is not just focused on the transaction—he is focused on serving people well and helping them make the right decisions. Beyond being excellent at what he does, Mark is simply an outstanding person.  His faith, kindness, and steady encouragement naturally come through in how he works with others, and that creates a level of trust that is incredibly valuable during such an important process. If you are looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, patient, and genuinely invested in his clients, Mark is the right choice.

We cannot recommend Mark and his team enough! He goes above and beyond for his clients, and we were able to accept an offer in just four days well above asking. Marks marketing skills are top notch, and it’s very evident in the work that he does.

Mark is a great realtor that I can trust ever! Not only is he very professional, but also he is very honest and responsible! From the initial free consultation to the final transition, he truthfully and consistently provides updates for each movement and on time guideline. His goal is not just to sell a house, he more focus on my interests. I have not enough to say than my deep appreciation to him. If my family, friends or myself ever wants to buy or sell a house I would have zero hesitation to get his help again because I trust him!

Tyler Wustman

Our home was stuck on the market for months, and it became clear our previous realtor wasn’t giving it the urgency or effort it deserved. We honestly felt hopeless. Mark was referred to us, and from his first visit, everything changed. His energy is the first thing you notice, it is next level. The second was his attention to detail. Third, and my favorite, was his clear plan of action, which immediately stood out. He followed that plan and did exactly what he said he was going to do. The follow through was outstanding. Our listing was exceptional and showed so well online. Mark and his team executed quickly. The staging was also very beautiful and simple. It completely changed the appearance of our home. We received an offer fast, negotiations were handled confidently, and the entire process felt organized and stress free. Mark is honest, trustworthy, and brings a level of energy that is rare in real estate. I highly recommend him. Thanks again for everything you did for us, Mark.

John Chinchen

Mark was highly professional. You could tell from the beginning that he took his job very seriously. He was extremely responsive, and easy to communicate with. He met us at several properties on very short notice, and was very accommodating to our schedule. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who is in search of a home. You will not find a better realtor.

Autumn Bahlke

Mark puts 1,110% in to all he does for the people he works with and for. He is very knowledgeable, helpful and always has a positive attitude.

Mark helped us find an office to rent. Even though it was a small, quick deal he treated us like his biggest customer. Top notch service! Highly recommend

Michelle VanderHeide

We had a great experience with Mark and will undoubtedly use him again!

Andrew Stoppels

Mark is a 5-star stellar consultative realtor who is a pleasure to know and work with. From Day One when Mark reached out to us to our sitting at the closing table with the title company, Mark was professional, engaging, beyond knowledgeable and always putting our interests-and-needs first in our home-buying process. Courteous-and-responsive, Mark was patient, incredibly-skillful with his offer writing and while we’re aware that he had several clients he was working through the process simultaneously- we always felt like we were a priority and on the top of his list for finding a quality home - even with our smaller budget. Cannot recommend Mark enough.

Joyce Vander Werff

Mark is Grand Rapids top real estate professional. His marketing expertise helped us sell a challenging investment property. His timely responses and innovative ideas make him our number one choice for selling our next property. .

emily smith

Mark is an incredible human. Kind, honest, considerate and committed in everything he does. He is intentional in his work and his life. Highly recommend.

CranioSacral Center of Grand Rapids

Working with Mark was exceptional and I can’t recommend him enough! We found him when he sold a neighboring house at an exceptional price. We were amazed at how much care and attention to detail was given to our starter home. He really brought out the best in it as if it was a million dollar home! He included cleaning and staging in his experience and the value we saw working with mark was like nothing I’ve seen elsewhere. You won’t regret working with him and I can’t stop recommending him to others! I know you have a friend,cousin, uncle who sells houses but they probably arnt as good as Mark… Give him a call today!

Owen Woltjer

My wife and I just bought our first house and Mark's knowledge, understanding & encouragement was instrumental and extremely valuable to us as we made our decision. He was extremely willing and eager to share everything we needed to know about the first time buying process, leaving us feeling equipped to make the right decision. I would recommend Mark to anyone!

Chris Theule

Don't mess around with people that you are not sure you can trust. Mark will give you the truth, and he has your interests as the primary concern.

Mark has been fantastic to work with. The way he cares for his clients and his attention to detail. Mark goes above and beyond in every way to make sure the deal gets done the right way! I would highly recommend him for your next real estate sale or purchase!

Matthew Harkema

I was very impressed with how knowledgeable and eager to help Mark was through the entire process. Very grateful to have had him during this house hunt!

Jake Zandstra

Mark is an all star - helped me and my wife buy our dream home. I’ve used him multiple times to buy/sell condo/land/house. Marketing is clean, staging always looks great, and the results speak for themselves!

Barbara McCune

Great man, even better realtor! My father is a difficult man on a good day, but when it came time to sell his home, Mark went above and beyond the call of duty. He was gracious and professional, answering every concern or question with a smile and an easy solution. The home was staged and advertised beautifully and sold just a day after listing above asking. All parties walked away fully satisfied and hardly having to lift a finger outside of packing. Thank you again, Mark!

Jordan Kaufman

Mark stands alone when it comes to premier, white-glove real estate services! He is kind, smart, thorough and persistent. Mark recently helped our family obtain our dream home in an extremely competitive and challenging market. And when our appraisal came back below our contract price, Mark was able to successfully rebut the appraisal and have it reissued OVER the contract price...a feat I've come to learn is very difficult to accomplish. I really can't recommend Mark enough and hope you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with him!

Tiffany Dood

Our experience working with Mark was nothing short of exceptional. Mark demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge about the local real estate market and took the time to understand our needs. Communication was another area where Mark excelled. He was always prompt in responding to our questions and concerns, keeping us informed every step of the way. Their professionalism and attention to detail gave us confidence that we were in good hands. When it came time to negotiate the purchase of our home, Mark was remarkable. His expertise helped us secure a fantastic deal, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Overall, I can't recommend Mark highly enough. Their passion for real estate, combined with their commitment to client satisfaction, makes them a standout professional in their field. If you're looking for a real estate agent who will go above and beyond to help you find your dream home, Mark is the one to call.

Steve DeWeerd

We couldn't be more pleased with Mark's performance as our real estate agent. He helped us find and negotiate for our new home, as well as sell our old home. He really transformed our old home by beautiful staging that included new fixtures, paint, furnishings, and professional decorating, which resulted in multiple offers well over asking price. His mail and social media marketing is also excellent. We highly recommend Mark for your next home sale or purchase!

Kate

Mark and his team made my home buying process super easy! They were super helpful and great to work with!

Jake Baugh

Mark literally made this experience so easy and enjoyable. ALWAYS answering our calls and advocating for us. He kept us informed but never pressured.

TJ Burdick

I’ve bought three homes during my lifetime through three different real estate agents. Mark is BY FAR the friendliest, most knowledgeable, and most reliable of them all. He knows the market, sure, but he takes every extra step to know his clients first. On top of that, he is quick to respond to texts and calls, and even quicker in getting access to show the homes we wanted to look at. I’d highly recommend Mark and his team.

Dee Recker

Seeking expert service in selling your treasured home or in looking for your next or first-time home? Mark VanderWal was a delight to work with! He offers professional advice and guidance throughout the process . . . from preparing your home for the market through the closing process. His regular check-ins were greatly appreciated. We strongly recommend a conversation with Mark if you're considering selling or buying a home!

Mike Kruse

Mark was hands down one of the best realtors my fiancé and I could have asked for! We bought out first home with Mark and didn’t understand anything about the process or the terms that are used. Mark explained everything in detail and even told us possible outcomes so nothing was a surprise to us. The overall process was very smooth and nothing unexpected came out. Mark was always available when we needed him and got our offer to the seller right away. Everything you could ask for in a realtor is Mark! If you’re looking for a realtor to trust buying or selling your home, Mark has unbelievable experience and you notice it the first time meeting him. 100% recommend Mark as your realtor to help you buy your sell your home!

If you are looking for a great realtor, you have found the right guy! I would recommend Mark to anyone + everyone. His in depth industry knowledge helped my husband and feel as though we were making informed decisions through the process of selling our current home in Grand Rapids, MI and purchasing a new one in West Michigan. He has great communication and showed up to every showing with enthusiasm and a smile. You can tell he has crafted genuine and intentional relationships with lenders + other realtors which made everything run so smoothly. Finally, he made the experience so much fun. Buying and selling can be stressful, but Mark made it an enjoyable process... which is such a gift!

We will be recommending Mark to anyone needing a realtor!
