I recently used Mark Martinho of Vabrato Real Estate Services to market and sell my home in Palo Alto. Before embarking upon this endeavor, I looked at it with some trepidation, feeling that it would be quite an ordeal as there were items in the home that I felt would need repair or attention prior to putting it up for sale. Mark made the entire process so easy for me by handling all of the preparation including hiring the contractors to make repairs, preparing the property for sale and staging the home. Mark also has excellent communication skills, is extremely personable and kept me fully informed throughout the entire process. When it came time to evaluate the offers (which were multiple), Mark took the time to carefully review and discuss them with me in detail. The home sold for more than I expected and over the asking price. In summary, Mark is a true professional, did a wonderful job in marketing and selling the home and was an absolute joy to work with. If selling or buying a home in the Bay Area, my very first step would be to call Mark.
