The Mark Deering Team

Super amazing team. Went well above and beyond our expectations with the selling of our home. Provided an interior decorator to help with staging our home and a professional photographer. Thought his video walk throughs they do were a nice touch and enjoyed sharing them with friends and family. Stay in touch and helped us through the entire process. 5 stars for sure. Highly recommended. ~Nick

I had the pleasure of working with Wyatt and the rest of Mark Deering team. Wyatt and I searched for a few months until there was one I fell in love with. There was never any rush to buy a home or settle for something I wasn’t quite sure on. As a first time home buyer, they made the purchasing and closing process a breeze. Wyatt and Jessica took their time to walk me through everything and made sure to answer any questions I had. If I’m ever in the market again… I will be choosing to work with the Mark Deering Team! ~Chandler

The Deering RE/MAX team definitely raises the bar when it comes to buying a home in West Michigan. Mark, Wyatt, Jessica and the entire team operate more like a family versus the high pressure sale, real estate industry. Throughout the entire buying and selling process, the Deering RE/MAX team communicated with us and kept us at ease and made us feel as if we were a part of their family as well. ~Jeremy

Mark Deering has become a family friend through both buying property and selling a home. Mark has traveled with me for years looking for just the right place and giving me sound advice. I never felt pressured to make a hasty decision. His knowledge of the market proved valuable when selling our home. I had many questions and he answered each and every one. His team provided help throughout the sale of our home from staging to closing. I would recommend Mark and the Deering Team for their expertise in both buying and selling a home. ~Ausma

They helped us find our first and forever home! As first time home buyers, we were lead in the right direction with knowledgeable, professional people who had our best interest in mind. We looked at several properties, even the ones he knew we wouldn't like but we wanted to see. Helped us put in our best offer, in a timely manner. He even drove a hour north of Grand Rapids to show us homes in our area. If we were to decide to sell our house and look for another, we would 100% list and search with the Mark Deering team at RE/MAX of Grand Rapids! ~Brandi

Once again Mark, Jessica and the team made our real estate transaction easy. My siblings and I sold our childhood home through Mark Deering. The communication was great including videos that Mark has created to educate us through every step of the process. We always felt like we knew where we were in the process and felt like we had control. I never hesitate recommending Mark to family and friends. His team gets the job done and they do it well! ~Diane
