I used Mark and Laura as my real estate agents when I was selling my mother’s house. Even though I don’t live local, they made the entire process smooth and worry-free. Any questions I did have were answered in a timely fashion. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thanks folks!

We have used Mark and Laura for both buying and selling homes and they were amazing. We appreciate the amount of time and effort they put towards helping us sell our home to helping us purchase our forever home.

Mark and Laura represented us in a recent farm property sale. They were personable and helpful at every step in the process starting from thorough research into property values and presentation tips through to navigating the complexities of offers and contracts up to the successful sale. We found their approach positive and supportive and they were quick to answer questions or concerns. Mark's easy manner coupled with Laura's crackerjack detail skills make them a terrific team. We would recommend Forest Hill Real Estate to any potential seller as a value added service. Thanks Mark and Laura!

This is a great real estate team in Grey/Bruce. Working with Mark and Laura as a cooperating realtor was seamless, a real pleasure. Communication was excellent, and willingness to facilitate a desired outcome for all parties was completely there. When the representation of clients is not clouded with an "us against them" mentality and rather, a cooperative "working together" attitude, things work and deals come together that leave everyone satisfied! Looking forward to working together again with these two! Thanks for everything Mark and Laura :)

A very trying sale - not due to anything this wonderful pair could have done to make it less trying - it was because I live in the United States! They both went ABOVE and BEYOND to make the sale happen and then to be patient while the CRA cranked through their machinations to finally settle the property. No words are adequate to express my gratitude for their professionalism and patience!.

Mark and Laura were everything we would ever want in a realtor team! They are friendly, supportive, knowledgeable about the area, great communicators, and have a no pressure, patient and helpful approach to showing properties. They are very thorough and detail oriented, and Laura would always get back to me quickly with detailed information about the properties we were interested in. They offered great advice from start to finish, and I would highly recommend them as realtors!

Mark Murakami and his wife Laura were invaluable throughout our house sale and purchase experience. As we sold and purchased from out of the country, they walked us through all of the necessary steps, providing clarification and assurances along the way. Their expertise and their thorough knowledge of real estate transactions helped us to overcome hurdles presented . Their kindness and patience helped to assuage worries and fears along the way. I would whole heartedly recommend their services to anyone .

Mark & Laura recently assisted our family with the sale of our parents' home. As most real estate agents do, they researched the property and surrounding area well to come up with a fair and reasonable listing price Their knowledge and professionalism guided us to a quick sale as they covered all aspects of promoting the property. What set's Mark and Laura apart is their personalities. They are professional, not pushy, thorough, kind and caring. They are honest and pay attention to detail. Their communication is second to none. It goes without saying, I would definitely recommend them.

Very pleased with the service I received from Mark and Laura when I purchased my house. They were extremely helpful especially since I lived 3 hours away. They always responded promptly and were very accomodating with my schedule. I would highly recommend Mark if you are planning on buying or selling a property.

Mark and Laura helped us to sell our Grey County property. Mark kept in touch with us constantly and guided us all the way through. Although very professional and having all the right tools, we felt like we were looked after like family. We have absolutely no reservations about referring them forward. I hope to do business with them again. Top results and true professionals with that home town feel. Lights out!

Mark and Laura had assisted us with the purchase of our home in Markdale 4 years ago. We were so impressed with his integrity and great service we listed our property with Mark this spring. He is very professional and made sure our needs were met with respect and sincerity. Mark is always available to answer questions and is very honest and trustworthy . We appreciated all that you’ve done to ease with a stressful home selling process without stress! Thank you Mark and Laura for a job well done!!

Thank you, Dan. It was our pleasure to work with you and Roxane again. Our only regret is that in helping you sell, we helped you move away from Grey County! Have a happy retirement and many years of happiness in your new home.

Mark is extremely patient and listens to what our needs were. Mark also responds to emails and phone messages promptly. If he didn’t know answers to our questions, he found the answers. Mark is very attentive to our needs. I would highly recommend his services, in fact he is working with our daughter to find a home. Thank you, Mark!
