Mark Koehler

Fantastic experience: I've known Mark for many years. And he's had nothing but a solid reputation within his profession, peers and community. Meanwhile, he has the most knowledge of anyone in the Western Springs and Lagrange areas. Many agents are "all over the place". Mark focuses.

Fantastic experience: Mark was knowledgeable and patient with us throughout the entire homebuying process. We were moving from out of state, and Mark was accommodative to our schedule every time we came into town. Look no further if you are searching for a new home!

Fantastic experience: Mark helped us both find a new home and sell our old one and did a fantastic job on both ends. He was knowledgeable, reassuring and clearly in tune with the local real estate market. We also used several of his recommendations for cleaning services, movers and some workers for our new house and all have been good. If you’re looking for a consummate professional to do right by you and your family, Mark is your guy.

Fantastic experience: Mark first helped us find a rental unit that met our specific needs at no benefit to him so we were happy to return to him when we were shopping for houses. He provided great expertise and made us feel comfortable every step of the way to finding the right house for us, would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Mark is a fantastic realtor! My husband and I were first time home buyers and Mark immediately made us feel like we were in good hands. He is everything you want in a realtor - proactive, knowledgeable, sincere, and very responsive. He flagged a home for us to visit as soon as it hit the private market and it ended up being our dream home. If Mark hadn’t acted so quickly to arrange a visit and work behind the scenes with the seller, we likely would have missed the opportunity. He coordinated every step of the process and made sure we felt comfortable along the way. We would highly recommend Mark to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Mark was the ideal realtor for us! We had a very small window of time to negotiate into a place we were told about and get our old home sold. He was professional and phenomenal. From first contact with him to signing a buyer's agreement took 4 days. The next day our old house was photographed and the first showing took place, and that couple bought the place. He lined up all the professionals we needed to work with, from attorneys to inspectors, and fielded questions to make us feel confident and informed throughout the process. All this while we took 2 pre-arranged vacations away and a emergency surgery for him! You won't find a better choice anywhere, I would recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: For a first time buyer in Western Springs, Mark gave us attention like we were his only clients. He made us feel right at home at every showing we saw together. In this tough market, Mark made our dream home happen and I'd recommend him to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Mark was absolutely amazing helping us complete our first home sale. He explained everything very clearly to us and put us at ease. The house sold so quickly and the entire experience was much more calm than we expected.

Fantastic experience: Mark is an excellent realtor! He walked us through every step of the way with empathy and kindness. Great communication and dedicated attention to our needs. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Excellent realtor who found us the perfect off-market home by working his magic. Very proactive, great communicator, follow up and follow through are superb. Patient, thorough and a great listener. All the things you want in a realtor. Mark found us our dream home and I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Mark is a complete professional and focuses on the details. He got our placed sold in 1 day.

Fantastic experience: Mark was referred to me by a member of our family who had great success with purchasing a home using Mark as their realtor. Starting with my first phone encounter with Mark, I knew I was in good hands. Mark was accessible, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with every step of the way. From his extensive knowledge of the market, to his “can do” attitude, Mark is everything you would want in a real estate professional. Mark’s dedication and professionalism helped to facilitate a seamless transaction and I could not be happier with the outcome. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone and everyone for their real estate needs.

Fantastic experience: Mark is awesome. This is our second time doing a sale and purchase with Mark. We initially found Mark via a recommendation from a friend, and found that we really liked his approach. Mark has significant expertise and insights on properties and is willing to share them without being pushy. He would often see flaws or concerns in properties that missed our eyes, which is always helpful. He also has great vision to see potential in places. We valued his opinion both for purchasing and selling. He was timely with with communication and follows through. I strongly recommend Mark if you are looking for a realtor in the area.

Fantastic experience: Mark's Professionalism and knowledge of what to do or expect from the day we signed our Contract to List on 2/27/23 until we completed the Sale on 4/5/23 is deserving of a 5 STAR rating. Joe Vitell

Fantastic experience: From our first call to a text when it closed, Mark made selling our family home of 70+ years as easy as it could be.

Fantastic experience: My experience of working with Mark on this home sale was absolutely amazing. The challenges he faced with an elderly owner in poor health was daunting - throughout the process he was positive, patient and professional. I will recommend him to everyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Fantastic experience: Mark was such a great realtor to work with during the process of buying our first home. Mark is knowledgeable and professional but also approachable and amicable making the process a breeze. Mark took the time to explain every step of the process and answered all of our questions thoroughly.

Overall, I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking to buy or sell their home to ensure the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Fantastic experience: Mark did a tremendous job . A pleasure working wit a real professional. I would highly recommend Mark in the future. Excellent effort. Thanks, Mark

Fantastic experience: Mark had a very tall order when it came to the type of home I was looking for. I was looking for something specific for the needs of my clients, as this was not a home for myself, but a home for the agency I work for that provides services to adults with developmental disabilities. With the market the way it currently is, we knew it could be quite the waiting game to find something that checked all of our boxes, but Mark certainly did not shy away from a challenge. In fact, he did more research and digging to present to us other options and opportunities we did not think of in the first place. Always available at the drop of a hat, always communicative, honest and transparent in talking through whatever thoughts we had on a specific home or the process in general. After a road of many misses, we finally got a hit and I know that is thanks to Mark and his loyalty to his clients. Thank you, Mark, for treating us as if we were family, knowing we would be building a family within these walls for the population that we serve. To have someone feel our mission for our clients the way we do every day means more than you know, and we look forward to working on future projects together!

Fantastic experience: If you want your house sold, call Mark!

He is always available, and makes you feel like a friend. Mark is truly special and knows what he is doing. I recommend Mark to anyone looking to buy and sell.

Fantastic experience: Mark is a fantastic realtor. We have worked with him both for buying and selling. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and really looks out for your best interests. He is patient, answers any and all questions and really gives you all points of view. You will always have the information you need to make a sound decision, especially when you’re nervous about making such a big purchase. He gets to know you, your lifestyle, your needs versus your wants and looks for the homes that check off those boxes. He doesn’t mess around! I will always refer Mark to anyone looking to buy or sell because I know they’re in very good hands.

Fantastic experience: Mark was such an amazing asset to have on our side while looking for our dream home. He was kind, patient, available and was the source of such great insider information. Looking forward to having him on our side when we finally are ready to sell our current place.

Fantastic experience: Mark is the best! He is professional, gracious, incredibly knowledgeable, is always there for his clients and gets the job done. Mark is communicative and manages expectations. On top of all that, he is a good guy!

Fantastic experience: Our agent Mark was always available for questions concerns, gave quality advice and recommendations. He is definitely a pro in the real estate business.

Fantastic experience: Mark was the best agent I have worked with for both buying and selling homes. He was very attentive and responsive, and he provided guidance using the wealth of knowledge he has gained through his years of experience. One specific thing that was really beneficial in working with Mark was his book of contractors - they were helpful in resolving issues that arose during inspections, as well as in customizing our home so it best suits our needs. I highly recommend Mark to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I've used Mark twice now, once to buy and again to sell. He's professional, responsive, and he'll work hard for you. Most importantly however, he's honest and trustworthy. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Mark sold my home and found me my new house. he treated me as if I was his biggest client even though my homes were modest. He was pleasant while also being professional. He was ALWAYS available to walk me through my (sometimes crazy) concerns, and never made me feel pressured to make a decision. Really I can not say enough good things. I highly recommend taking advantage of all he has to offer.

Fantastic experience: Having an advocate like Mark beside us was immeasurable. We were selling and buying a home at the same time and it felt overwhelming at times; his calmness and level-headedness was so appreciated. We commend his communication approach, extensive knowledge, and his ability to be upfront and clear on next steps through the process. Thank you, Mark!

Fantastic experience: Mark was our first ever realtor, and we couldn’t have been happier as first time home buyers. He walked us through every single step of the searching/buying process, coordinated and recommended legal and lending options, responded to questions (some likely silly) and never made us feel out of our depth. During a very tough market for buyers, Mark helped us navigate through pricing, bids, strategy and home quality: we’ve now just closed on the perfect home for our family. I can’t recommend Mark enough. He’s an elite realtor and an even better person.

Fantastic experience: Mark Koehler has an excellent knowledge of the real estate market and assisted us with the successful sale of our home above and beyond our expectations. He is professional, attentive, and a true pleasure to work with. He has a great team of people that took care of many aspects of the sale of our home, including a great interior designer who staged our house, resources for moving, as well as good referrals for lawyers. He was on point with communication during the whole process with every step. My family and I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Mark is an excellent realtor! He was professional, personable, and diligent in assisting us in our housing quest.

He made time for us anytime we wanted to see a property, needed advice, or simply had a question. We are thankful to have worked with him!

Fantastic experience: We'd like to voice our total appreciation for Mark Koehler who recently handled the sale of our house. Mark was attentive, communicative, and professional and he made the entire process painless. Mark is honestly the best agent we've ever worked with and we highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Mark help me and both my sisters find all of our homes. I think it’s safe to say he pretty much part of the family now. He was available whenever we needed him, extremely knowledgeable about things throughout every house we looked at. He knew to look for things and ask questions we never would have thought of. Most importantly he was completely honest with us. The good, the bad, the ugly. He told it to us straight which helped us find the perfect home. He even knew how to get the price down when in this current market I was to scared to even think to ask! Thank you for everything Mark! We love our new home!

Fantastic experience: Mark patiently showed us house after house until we found just what we were looking for! He was always prompt to answer our many questions that popped up along the way and was quick to schedule showings at homes we were interested in (which was SO helpful during the crazy market we currently have). He talked us through each and every step of the home buying process and advocated for what was best for us as buyers. I highly recommend Mark-you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: We’ve recently closed on our new house and can not say enough about Mark’s help throughout the process. We looked for several months and Mark was with us every step of the way. He was incredibly responsive to questions, last minute requests for viewings (even in the middle of a snow storm!), and never tried to push us on a property that wasn’t right. My wife and I genuinely felt he was invested in our finding the right home. He was positive. Encouraging. He never tried to rush our decision or got frustrated with our — at times — fickle wish list. When we did find the right house, Mark helped to ensure we were able to quickly get under contract and seamlessly close. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Mark’s service and expertise exceeded expectation. He was very accessible and responsive to requests. His guidance and assistance through the entire process was priceless, resulting in a smooth and equitable transaction. Can’t say enough on how big of a help he was to our family.

Fantastic experience: As a first one home buyer I definitely needed a good real estate agent, thankfully I had a fantastic agent. Mark was immensely helpful and knowledgeable. Having someone like that on your side makes the process much more enjoyable! Thanks Mark!

Fantastic experience: Mark was fantastic to work with. Having just moved across the country, along with being first-time home-buyers, the process of buying a house felt daunting. Mark quickly put our nerves at ease and paid keen attention to us as clients. He was a sounding board for us as we tried to balance what we were looking for in a house and gave us peace of mind in all aspects of the process from day 1 until our closing. Mark helped us find the perfect home, and we would highly recommend working with him.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Mark to everyone because he quickly and smoothly sold my condo. It seems like just yesterday I was contemplating the sale and with Mark's advice and expertise it closed today. I could not more enthusiastically endorse Mark's ability to accurately price, market and tend to the finer details of the sale. I told Mark I wished to be hands-off and he not only did a great job keeping me informed but he took care of things I didn't need (or want) to be aware of. High-five Mark!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Mark was amazing to work with. We sold and bought over the course of 2 days so it was a whirlwind but Mark was there to calm me down and lead the way. We could not be happier! I would highly recommend Mark.

Fantastic experience: Mark is great at what he does. Super attentive, knowledgeable, personable and always goes the extra mile. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Mark quickly became a trusted advisor for my parents when they were purchasing their home, moving from Indianapolis to the Chicago Western Suburbs. He was helpful in many ways, but most importantly in offering a peace of mind via his experience and his overall natural demeanor. His assistance in the negotiations during the buying process and even his recommendations of home service people post-closing has been such a help. We would highly recommend Mark as a realtor.

Fantastic experience: Mark did a great job helping us find and close on our new Home! Thanks Mark!

Fantastic experience: 8 years ago, Mark sold us our first home. 2 dogs, 2 amazing children and a pandemic later, we reached out again because we were casually looking. We found 2 houses we liked and wanted his expert opinion on what he thought. He set back to back viewings for us and helped us hash out the pros and cons of each. By the end of the day, it was clear which house would make a better home for our family. Mark got to work and things quickly fell into place. To the Veterans and Military Service Members that are reading this, you know that your earned benefits come with a few extra hoops to jump through. Mark stayed on top of it, carefully orchestrating all the moving parts (bank, lawyers, VA inspection and housing inspection). He made himself available throughout the process and always kept us informed. Mark is a great resource for your real estate needs!

Fantastic experience: From the decision to sell, Mark guided us through the process. He was extremely helpful to acquire a quick sale at asking price! He was always willing to answer our questions and give us our options. He is honest, knowledgeable, and reliable. Definitely call Mark!!

Fantastic experience: Mark is not only professional when it comes to his business but always makes time for his customers, always arrives early and always is courteous. He knows the business like no others and is positive, energetic and an absolute pleasure to deal with. From beginning to end, Mark provided helpful advice on the listing, had a very professional photographer and staging service, accurate research on our area, and sold it in less than 48 hours! He even provided us with the perfect mover. Think twice before hiring just any agent, it can mean the difference between a smooth enjoyable experience and a nightmare. I most definitely recommend Mark Koehler as a fabulous real estate agent and give him my absolute highest rating.

Fantastic experience: We were considering selling our home in anticipation of becoming empty nesters. We met Mark at an open house while we were looking at neighborhoods to move to. We hit it off with Mark right away and asked him to list our home. He provided resources and ideas for staging and making small improvements to get our home looking beautiful. He had gorgeous, professional photos, videos and high-end brochures created. With this, and his extensive marketing efforts, he found the perfect buyers for our home. He also created a search online on Homesnap that would email me potential homes that came on the market for when our home sold. He went above and beyond during the time between contract and closing. Mark from d’aprile properties was knowledgeable, professional and efficient. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Mark is very responsive to questions and always tries to find a solution to any issues you may have! He is a true professional while remaining down to earth and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Mark is, by far, the best in his business. I have had occasion to work with many real estate agents in the past. None have worked as hard, been as attentive or been as driven to sell or find the best property as Mark.

Fantastic experience: Mark is a true expert. He is knowledgeable about not only housing market but provides perspectives on exterior materials, structures and finds the extras that stand out. Mark provides value from start to close for both buyers and sellers.

Fantastic experience: Mark is great - he's professional, direct (doesn't waste your time), easy to work with, well connected withing the industry and will get you a good deal for you. I highly recommend Mark

Fantastic experience: Mark was amazing to work with. He was so patient with us as we looked for potential homes while also debating if we were wanting to relocate to the suburbs from the city. He sold our condo in the city and got us an amazing profit. He was also our realtor for the buying of our house in Western Springs. I HIGHLY recommend Mark. He is honest, extremely hard working, a fierce negotiator, and a hysterical and delightful person to spend time with.

Fantastic experience: Mark was a true partner in my family’s home search. We were moving from the city and felt like Mark knew the Hinsdale-Lagrange area very well and gave us really honest insight and great support during our home buying process. I would highly recommend Mark and would engage with him again for any house sell or buy in the future.

Fantastic experience: Mark is a fantastic realtor. He knows the market inside and out and is a true pro. He isn’t about just getting a sale but about making his clients truly happy.
