"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.

"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

"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."

F.C.

"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.

"Based on many years of experience with real estate professionals, I knew exactly what we wanted in an agent, and Mark Banham checked all the boxes and did a terrific job. Most importantly, he saved us a significant amount of money because of his decades of experience and thorough knowledge of the market. He knows all the players (lenders, title companies, inspectors, tradesman, etc.). He is passionate about his work and it shows. He is very responsive, friendly, ethical, thoughtful, analytical and professional. I don't think you could have a better teammate than Mark. He gets our highest recommendation."

Ben & Mary Margaret Hammond

"I can recommend Mark without hesitation. Anyone looking for an agent to help buy or sell property in Santa Fe could do no better."

Richard

"Mark provided excellent service and help in finding us the perfect Santa Fe home."

J.a.

"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

"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.

"Highly satisfied with Mark, excellent service to us! Recommend and would gladly use again! Everything was done in a fast, efficient manner that was professional, courteous and personal. He was there whenever we had a question and makes you feel like you are a priority and his only customer! We were lucky to have such a committed, wonderful person on our team and we very much appreciate his efforts far above and beyond our expectations as well as far above and beyond anyone else we have used in this profession in all my 57 years! Thank you Mark Banham!! Job very well done!!!!"

Barry K. & Samuel G.

"Mark, we express our deepest gratitude for your exceptional efforts in facilitating remarkably fast and seamless property sales. We rarely encounter a realtor who goes above and beyond to expedite a transaction without sacrificing quality. Your ability to navigate potential obstacles with efficiency and finesse is truly impressive. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Of course, your magical touch works wonders on the windows."

Ron D

"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.

"Mark was very professional and helpful."

B.T.

"Mark did an excellent job of communicating the entire process to us from start to finish. We have already referred him to friends, and we will definitely use him as our realtor again when the time comes."

G.F.

"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.

"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."

J.W.

"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!"

Gayle K.

"A job well done!!!!"

R.J.

B.N.

"Mark was excellent with timelines and requirements. Readily available, calm and professional. His assistant was able to fill in seamlessly the one time he was unavailable. Experienced and dedicated, exactly as you'd desire. Thanks!"

Matt J

"Incredible job by Mark and Ian! Couldn't have been a better process - yes the market timing was amazing - but they were absolute professionals throughout. Would use again without reservation."

K.D.

"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.

"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.

G.H.

"I am lucky to consider Mark a friend, however I could have hired any number of countless realtors in Santa Fe when selling my house. Hiring Mark was an easy decision because he is one of the most honest, thoughtful and kind professionals I've met in the city. He was patient and helpful during the process of preparing my property for sale, answered questions quickly, and offered advice that I could trust. He's reliable and has an impeccable reputation and I've recommended him to many friends since."

Jesse Freidin

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

J & S

"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."

Brian C.

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.

W.B.

C.L.

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

Rob & Jason

"I first met and worked with Mark 6 years ago. I was living in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area at the time and wanted to move to Santa Fe for my retirement years. During those six years before I bought my house here, the Pandemic happened, then my home in Georgia was struck by an EF4 tornado, and it took almost two years to get it restored so I could sell it. Mark never ceased his communications with me, nor stopped giving me encouraging support during the restoration of the Georgia house. Mark really knows Santa Fe and that is so helpful making a choice in finding just the right area for a buyer to buy a home. He's organized, prompt, and very diligent. He also has a keen eye for finding good and bad points about a home. For example, I was very interested in a home and Mark pointed out that the heating ducts were insufficient to heat the home...and the system was brand new. A big red flag. When I did choose my home and went under contract, Mark never let me miss a deadline, and we sailed smoothly to closing. I just can't ever thank him enough for all of his help, hard work and professionalism."

Leonard W

"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

"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 is my third transaction with Mark and I wouldn’t use anyone else in Santa Fe! Mark understands his clients, is very knowledgeable about market and doesn’t quit until you have found the right home. And his closings are precise and smooth. I highly recommend Mark."

George Fleming

"Mark is as interested in the person, not just pushing a sale."

J.H.

"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."

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.

"We found Mark to be everything you want in a Realtor: totally professional, hard working and fast to respond to concerns, phone calls and deadlines.

Michael Harris

"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!"
