Mark Mikina, HomeSmart Connect

Experiencia fantástica: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Agent – Highly Recommend Mark We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Mark to sell our home in Elmwood Park, Illinois. We put our house on the market at the beginning of September 2026, and within just 3 days, we received an excellent offer.About 30 days later, we successfully closed with no interruptions or complications. The entire process went incredibly smoothly! What made Mark truly exceptional was the level of support he provided throughout the entire sale\. Since we live in Florida, there were many things we simply could not take care of in person. Mark stepped in and handled everything we needed.He was always available — mornings, late evenings, and even weekends. He was present for inspections and made sure everything was taken care of properly. Mark is a professional, punctual, knowledgeable, patient, kind, and extremely flexible. He went far beyond what we expected from a real estate agent and made selling a home from another state so much easier and less stressful. We are extremely grateful for everything he did for us and would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. And an additional bonus — Mark speaks both Polish and English! Thank you, Mark, for your exceptional service, dedication, and for helping us successfully close this chapter\! ❤️ **10/10 — Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I have developed a wonderful relationship with Mark Mikina of Home Connect throughout these last 4 years that we have known him. We first met Mark when we bought our first home and he was very resourceful during that time and kept in touch with us throughout these last years as we owned our first home in Schiller Park. During the time that we owned our home in Schiller Park, our daughter decided that she wanted to buy a home and since she had a big family, we decided that we would sell her our home and now seek a second home and we called upon Mark again and he was phenomenal in finding us the perfect condo in Prospect Heights, which we closed on this last Friday, 25 of July. he got gathered up his team once again and we had a seamless closing. Everything went according to plan all the way through as always with Mark, everything just flows. He’s friendly he’s resourceful. He’s kind and knows what he’s doing when it comes to not only servicing his clients but searching for the perfect home. He listened to what we needed and went out there and he got it. Thank you, Mark for always being willing to listen to our needs and finding exactly what we need. we really appreciate you and love you, Paul and Elizabeth Rodriguez.

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I were on a journey to find our home with Mark for over a year. We started before our wedding then ultimately decided to hold off until after.

As first-time home buyers, we were able to gain a trustworthy relationship with an agent like Mark.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Mark was the highlight of selling my parents house. Mark is extremely knowledgeable and very dedicated, even calling with news and an offer on Christmas Eve! Never had to call looking or asking for updates as Mark called right away with any news. In my opinion he is always looking out for his clients best interest. Most realators were looking for a 6 month deal but Mark insisted on less saying 'if I can't sell it in 90 days then you have the wrong realator'. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking to sell their house.

Experiencia fantástica: No words can fully describe how grateful am I to Mark for all of his help, professionalism, support and guidance during my first time house purchase. Being a first time owner in this crazy market felt so frustrating and scary, but Mark was there every step of the way to answer any little question and give the best advice. Excellent communication, always on time, never putting pressure and always with my best interest in mind-these are just a few things that I experienced when working with Mark. After dozens of properties seen, I found my dream home and without Mark I would give up the idea of owning something altogether. THANK YOU!!! Mark will be there to guide you through every step until closing. Not only Mark is the best realtor that I have ever dealt with, but he also knows great inspectors and attorneys that will team up with you to make the buying experience as smooth as possible. I highly recommend Mark to anyone who either wants to buy or sell-this will be one of the best decisions that you can make in life!!! Nataliya
