We had the absolute pleasure of working with Cory Marks as our real estate agent for seven months, and we truly could not have done this without him. From day one, Cory guided us through an incredibly challenging process with patience, dedication, and expertise. He was always available—no question was ever too small, and his responsiveness gave us a great sense of comfort throughout our home search. When touring homes, Cory was impressively detailed and thorough, pointing out things we would have never considered. Every showing felt like a learning opportunity, and we quickly came to trust his knowledge and insights. His deep understanding of the real estate market was evident, and he consistently gave us honest, strategic advice. Even after we were under contract, Cory remained right by our side, ensuring everything went smoothly through to closing. His professionalism, kindness, and unwavering support made all the difference. We are so grateful to have had him in our corner and would recommend Cory to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is simply the best!

We cannot praise Mark and his team enough for guiding us through this process to secure our Forever Home. As 1st time home buyers, Mark walked us through every step and took the time to educate us on how we should approach them. Through his contact network we were able to assemble our R.E. team and we couldn't be more pleased with everyone's role in this. He was available to speak with us whenever we had a question [of which there were many] and always could add learned experience to a situation. He got us through our first few rejected offers and I don't think we would've have gotten our final offer accepted if it weren't for his fast thinking and connections within the Realty community. We got connected to him by matching on one of his listings but continued to use him in our search; we've never felt more comfortable in working with someone who understood us, our needs, our wants in a neighborhood in such a short time frame. Whenever and if ever we are on the market again, Mark will be our only call.

Mark has been incredible from start to finish. He continued to go above and beyond for my husband and I during our home buying process. He was informative, patient, and diligent throughout the process and we couldn’t be more thankful for him. Through stressful situations he advocated for us, made himself available, and did much more than expected to ensure we reached closing on time and got the home that we wanted. We would not have been able to do this without him & are forever grateful. Highly recommend Mark and his team!

Working with Mark & Mary was a wonderful experience. With their tremendous knowledge of the real estate market, city ordnances ,zoning and codes and their incredible marketing skills we were able to sell my home well over my anticipated selling price in less than a week. They went far and beyond with assisting with the attorneys , potential buyers and city officials. If you want to sell your home , go with the Slade Team . You won’t be disappointed.

We met Mark during an open house where he was the listing agent. We found him to be very straightforward and honest and we decided to work with him thereafter. He is a strong advocate for his clients, has their best interest in mind and is willing to work within your boundaries, while also giving you a dose of reality. The real estate market for the past 3+ years in New Jersey has been wildly competitive, and while I at times disagree with the tactics used in sale processes, which heavily favor the Seller, Mark always did his best to lay out the reality and work with my needs to find me the most palatable solution. I appreciated how Mark was available at all hours and extremely responsive. He accommodated our schedule and I never felt forced to do anything; I genuinely felt like he was willing to invest weekend after weekend going to open houses to make sure we got the house we liked. Buying a home is an emotional roller-coaster, especially when you're getting your hopes up weekend after weekend, putting in offers way above asking and getting constantly told no - Mark took it all in stride and provided strong emotional support. We ended up finding and closing on a beautiful house in Maplewood thanks to Mark's network and relationship with the selling agent. We were concerned about the house being at the intersection of a street and having car headlights flooding into the house. Mark scheduled a night time viewing and had his wife MaryCeu drive around the block in her car to make sure we were comfortable with the decision; this was above and beyond service and truly warmed my heart; I will never forget how cared for Mark made us feel. We got the house at a price that worked for both parties with everyone walking away happy. We're happy we were able to do business with Mark and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy in Maplewood or neighboring communities! You can't go wrong with Mark on your side - he is, after all, the guy behind the now infamous New York Times "If Brooklyn were a Suburb" article :)!
