I could not have been happier with Mark. Due to my shift work schedule, Mark made himself available when I was available and needed his assistance. Prompt response to questions, prompt response to viewing requests, and really anything I could think to ask him. He also referred me to the best hands down mortgage broker I'd ever want to know. I was very happy with Mark and every entity he recommended through the process. I've bought vehicles that weren't this easy!
Mark did an excellent job selling my home, especially considering the market at the time and that my home was more expensive than many on the market. He kept me informed at all times.
100% Best realtor ever! Leaving the deal with a great friend. And I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell! He is so nice and helpful- kept us well informed through the whole process. It was a breeze.
I contacted Mark months ago to list my house but was not quite ready. Mark did not pressure me to list and came by several times to discuss the process. Once as was ready Mark listed the house and had a buyer within a day. The process was easy and Mark kept communication flowing. Very happy and would recommend to anyone needing their home listed
Wonderful experience! Very smooth process. Exceeded my expectations with great communication and kept things moving right along. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Look Mark Fontenot up! It was a pleasure working with him! As a first time buyer with LOTS of questions he explained it all to me ! Awesome experience! Very professional and always had the right answer and best advice! Most people say buying a house is stressful it was a walk in the park, all because of Mark! The sweetest thing was the house warming gift
I have been looking for a parcel of land in the Lake Charles area since 2016. I recently was connected with Mark Fontenot and am grateful that happened. I have asked many realtors, including some that are my family members, and have not been sent many referrals. After I met with Mark and explained what I was looking for, he took the bull by the horns. His tenacious, aggressive, diligent, and friendly character was the reason that I have the property that matches my request perfectly. I would recommend him to anyone looking to make a real estate purchase.
If you're looking for a home I recommend Mark. He very knowledgeable about the homes he shows you and the area. And he is with you threw all the process and answers any question you have and if he doesn't know the answer he finds it for you.
Mark was great, I would recommend him to anyone. He was on top of everything that we asked. If you’re selling/buying a home I would use Mark. I wish we could have used him to buy our home in South Carolina.
Mark was very pushy throughout the entire process. I did not feel as if I could trust him. It seemed like all he cared about was getting the deal done. He is also a fairly new agent; therefore, there was a lot he did not know. I was forced to do a lot of my own homework. All in all, I wouldn't recommend him to represent you as a buyer. If he is representing a seller, it could be better.
