"Markell was very helpful in my search for a condo. I found him knowledgeable, professional and passionate in helping me to find the ideal property. He listened attentively and yet without bias, offered suggestions and recommendations. He inspired me to think objectively and to consider possibilities that I had not. Markell was not just selling property, he offered guidance and wisdom that helped me to create a model for evaluating and assessing properties. It was that combination of skill and interpersonal communication that resulted in my selection of property that I am now delighted to call "home"."

"With myself in the process of being a first-time home buyer, Markell was able to help me every step of the way. I started the home buying process expecting to purchase a particular kind of house, but eventually purchased something I never would have imagined. If it wasn’t for Markell, I would possibly have buyers’ remorse. Thanks to Markell, I am happy where I am and will recommend him for anyone else looking to purchase or sell. Thank you for making my first experience pleasant.

"Selling my house was a complex affair. Markell shone through. His expertise and unwavering support turned a stressful situation into a success story. Markell's understanding of the local market and my unique challenges was impressive. His strategic plan was thorough, tackling every hurdle, from navigating legal teams to the lien holders. His exceptional communication kept me well informed throughout. Professional yet patient, his positive attitude kept me going. He found the perfect buyer for my unique property, exceeding expectations with price and fit. Are you looking for a realtor who goes above and beyond? Look no further than Mr. Markell Bridges. I highly recommend his service! Sincerely, Charles Campbell."

"Markell is truly a uniquely capable, one-of-a-kind realtor, who goes above and beyond all expectations. Not only is he a savvy, data-driven expert on local markets, adept at getting the best price for your property, he’s also a patient, generous collaborator and extremely kind person. Truly, it was a joy to work with him. For most of the long process of selling an inherited apartment (initially in rough shape), I was out of town, and Markell stepped in to take care of seemingly endless set of renovation tasks that needed to be completed before our property could sell. And if you can believe it, he even vacuumed and cleaned the place right before closing! I honestly cannot recommend him highly enough. Again, it was a true pleasure working with Markell, who brings together business expertise with an incredibly rare human touch. For those buying or selling in Hyde Park in particular, as a longtime resident, Markell knows the neighborhood inside out. Highly, highly recommend! "
