"This was the second property on which my husband and I worked with Mark. We cannot recommend him highly enough. He is extremely skilled at what he does. Mark carries a sense of ease and excellence. He is responsive, organized, knowledgeable, and on-point. In addition, he is intuitive, empathic and supportive. We genuinely consider him a friend now. He helped us find the home that perfectly fits us and that we love. It was a true pleasure to work with Mark. He is a Santa Fe treasure."

Diana Zumas

"We recently purchased a home in Santa Fe, and as we were not local and living out of state, we began our search on the internet. We found whom we considered a compatible agent in Mark Banham of Barker Realty to represent us in the property selection and negotiation processes. After we met Mark in person, we were quite comfortable with our choice. Mark is warm, friendly, and accommodating. He is not only adept and knowledgeable about Santa Fe real estate, but he gave us great tips on social venues and fun activities. Since our move to Santa Fe, we have enjoyed all of Mark's suggestions as well as his continued friendship. We would recommend Mark to anyone in need of a great Santa Fe Realtor!"

Nick & Carol

"Mr. Banham was a true professional and guided me through the complete process."

W.S.

"Mark represented my elderly mother on the sale of her home in Rancho Viejo. I was with my Mom during their initial meeting and asked Mark to include me on all communication due to my mother's age , current emotional state and lack of experience with real estate - her husband had recently passed away and this was her first time selling a home. Mark was very professional and organized, his communication was excellent and he was able to get my mother multiple offers over the asking price.In fact, the sales price at the time of closing was the highest Rancho Viejo sales price to date! But what really made him stand out was how compassionate he was with my mom. Five stars - I highly recommend Mark!"

Homeowner's daughter

"Mark was wonderful from start to finish, way beyond finish actually. We bought our lovely house just before the pandemic and have not been able to move to Santa Fe since then. He has been at our side the whole time."

"If you're looking for an agent who knows the Santa Fe market, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone with more knowledge than Mark. His knowledge of the market and the area is impeccable. He is responsive, flexible, and professional. We purchased property through Mark and the experience could not have been better. He managed the entire process through helping identify properties, showings, and closing. There was never a time when I felt I was out of the loop. If you're looking for real estate in the Santa Fe area, you need to talk to Mark."

R.J.

"I worked with Mark for about a year when I first got into real estate. Mark was a highly organized and productive agent. I was a fresh fish in the real estate pond and learned a lot from Mark. I would gladly work with him again and would recommend his work at all levels of business."

Leland T.

"This was our third transaction with Mark, and the first as a seller. Completely satisfied with all aspects of the sale, which happened more quickly than we imagined, at full asking price. What's not to like??!!"

T.L.

"We had listed our home with Santa Fe's largest brokerage and in the next two years it was shown three times (perhaps two visits if you just count qualified buyers). We had been warned that the property might be difficult to sell because of its price range and the fact that it is multi-level. When we switched agents to use Mark Banham of Barker Realty, he showed the property more than a dozen times in the following twelve months and several prospective buyers visited the property more than once. We felt that Mark took the time to understand the features of our home and to show the property to appropriate and qualified buyers. Mark's local knowledge of the area was an important factor and the eventual sale of the property was handled smoothly and professionally."

Ed S.

"All around a great experience!! Mark staged the condo which I think lead to its quick sale. Thanks Mark! We couldn't have done it without all your great service!"

Doug C.

"Mark was excellent. Our search was conducted long distance over several years. He was patient, available, pleasant and very mindful of what we wanted. In fact, he contacted us on vacation about a house that he knew would be perfect. He was right. We bought it!"

P.T.

"This is our second home purchase with Mark and we are very pleased and impressed with his attention to detail, attention to the customers' needs and extremely thorough during the inspections and closing process."

Linda & Sharon

"Once the deal was closed, Mark did everything he could to help us feel at home in Santa Fe."

Rob & Jason

"I’ve worked with Mark on two transactions in Santa Fe and couldn’t be more satisfied with his energy, knowledge and commitment to me as a client. I’ve dealt with other agents in the area in the past but the quality of service just does not compare to what one receives from Barker Realty in general and Mark Banham specially. I trust Mark and his team without question and would recommend him to anyone considering a real estate transaction in the area!"

C.D.

"Mark was very professional, and handled a complex real estate transaction with patience and thoroughness. He was very helpful to this long distance seller. I appreciated his positive attitude!"

A.M.

"Mark Banham made the entire process a pleasure. He was courteous and professional, well organized and meticulously prepared."

George Fleming

Melinda & Robin

Mark has an extensive knowledge of Santa Fe and was always accessible. He assembled a great team of inspectors who helped us complete the tight 30 day escrow with time to spare. We will be referring Mark and his assistant Ian to anyone we know who is searching for or selling property in Santa Fe."

K.F.

"Mark was very professional and helpful."

B.T.

"My wife and I interviewed 4 realtors. Mark Banham was the only realtor who would list our house at our asking price. All other realtors said that our house was priced too high to sell. Mark sold our house in approximately 2 days and was able to get more than our asking price when 2 potential buyers were competing against each other for the sale. Mark responded fast to all the questions we had and he provided all the guidance that was needed to close the sale on schedule. He also recommended that we do several house inspections that he knew the buyers would be asking about. This action reduced the time that was required for us to respond to the buyer's full house inspection. We highly recommend Mark and he will be our first choice when we sell again."

P. & S. O.

"Mark Banham and Ian were exceptional throughout the transaction from start to finish. Great communication and quick responses as it was a short sale and required a lot of attention through the process. Thank you, Michael"

"We enjoyed working with Mark Banham on our recent move to Santa Fe. He is very knowledgeable of the area and was always available when we had concerns or questions. Mark was also extremely helpful in negotiating an awesome deal on our new home. Mark's associate Ian made sure the closing process went smoothly keeping everything on track and on time. With Mark's help we are now settling into a much nicer home than we thought we would ever be able to afford. We would not hesitate to recommend him and would certainly use him again."

Dave B. & John L.

He kept us calm in the roller coaster moments and engendered confidence that we would achieve the goal of finding and purchasing our forever home. And we did."

Mark Lawrence

"Mark did a great job in marketing our downtown east-side house. He understood the type of person that would be most likely to want this type of home. He aggressively marketed the home, numerous showings. His advice and work got the house sold at a price that was fair and within our expectation right from the start. We'll use Mark again for future real estate buys and sells."

Douglas H.

"Mark Banham is a complete professional in every sense. He and Barker Realty take all the stress and worry out of buying a new home."

G.H.

"Mark explained the strategy and comps for the asking price and we took his advice. Two offers above asking were received within 48 hours of initial listing. He guided the smooth transaction al the way through to closing. Exceptional service and attention from Mark all the way through. We sincerely appreciate Mark, he's a reliable, honest and intelligent realtor"

G.G.

"Recently, I had the good fortune to work with Mark Banham as my Realtor. While buying a house is not the most stress-free process in the world, working with Mark was a (relatively) pleasant and fun experience! Mark absolutely earned my trust through his efficient, conscientious, honest and caring qualities. He always followed through on what he said he would do and I always felt he had my best interest at heart. Next time I need to use a Realtor, I'll definitely turn to Mark again. We have since become friends to due his genuine concern for me as a client and person, not to mention his great sense of humor!"

Andrew & Milo

"Outstanding service in all respects. Would recommend without hesitation to anyone buying property in Santa Fe."

M.H.

"Mark Banham handled the sale of my house in Santa Fe. I lived out of town and what could have been a very difficult experience, turned out to be a very pleasant experience. Mark showed great expertise in pricing my home. His suggestions for improving and staging the home were very appropriate without going overboard. He had a wealth of resources to help with repairs and improvements and helped in negotiating with the workmen. It was a great help to have Mark there to meet workmen when I couldn't be there. I found Mark, not only very knowledgeable, but friendly and so easy to work with. It would be a definite pleasure to work with him again!"

Mary M.

W.B.

"Mark did a great job. I had a tenant who was an ******* and mark helped deal with him during the sale process."

S.W.

"During the negotiation process, the buyer wanted washer/dryer and some furniture to be added to meet my counteroffer. My agent asked me to yield on this to "not lose a cash offer" which I felt was not in my best interest. I yielded on the appliances but not the furniture. The unexpectedly high sale closing expenses were made available only 1 day prior to closing after multiple requests. I scrambled to obtain funds to make the closing happen. On a positive note, the closing happened in 25 days which enabled me to purchase another home with the same agent."
