When Mark O'Krafka says he's your realtor for life - he means it.
My husband and I bought our first home from Mark 26 years ago. He has consistently stayed in touch over the years, so when it came time to sell, Mark got our call. Every detail of the sale process was explained and executed well. Mark knows his business and responds quickly to any questions or concerns. It's a real pleasure to work with Mark O'Krafka.

Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value - Mark O’Krafka was absolutely amazing!
We bought a house and sold our house all within 3 weeks! We could not be happier with the results of both transactions! The minute we found a house we were interested in, he was on it. Easy and stress free negotiations and he made sure important details were not overlooked! When we put our house on the market, it became famous as he marketed it absolutely everywhere. We had overwhelming interest and got the offer of our dreams! You can trust Mark to do his utmost to make this one of the easiest and satisfying experiences of your life! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I have had the privilege of working with Debbie O’Krafka when she was working for Reid’s Heritage Homes. I had no firm plan of buying a property but with Debbie’s pleasant personality and professional personal touch , I ended up buying 1.25Million worth of property located in an exclusive neighborhood in the south end of Guelph. Throughout the process of pre and post purchase , Debbie has been able to give top notch service and made me and my family felt extremely important to her and to the business.

Lana and I would like to let you know that working with you at RHH for our 6th new build was the most rewarding experience that we have had so far.
Your communication, transparency and attention to detail helped us immensely during our discussions to purchase our NEW home from RHH.
As mentioned, we were working with another builder at the same time for a new build, however your help, attention to our requirements was far superior and helped us make our decision to purchase from you and RHH.
We would be pleased to recommend you to our friends and family for Real Estate Service.

Professionalism, Responsiveness - Due to covid, we could not assist our son and his fiancé while doing a scheduled in person inspection of the home they purchased.
Mark was great in assuming the role of a parent for us as well as sales rep, to ensure this first home purchase was not just affordable, but the home was also sound structurally and worth the price they paid. Mark guided them through a number of listing and coached them through the temptation of putting in an offer where there was a chance the price was going to be inflated to a cost not justified by the value. Ultimately they got a home where the owner, thankfully, was not holding multiple offers. While they did pay a little bit more than asking, at the end of the day, this home will hold the value commensurate with the price they paid. We would highly recommend Mark to anyone! Thank you Mark!

It has truly been a pleasure working with Mark O’Krafka on our search for a new home. We thought we knew what we wanted when we started, but what we eventually purchased was very much different. Mark was very patient with us throughout that evolution and happily showed us properties in three different cities. He is very proactive and reactive at all times of day and on every day of the week. He made the entire process as easy as it could have been. On top of all else, Mark is very friendly and has a great sense of humour. We highly recommend Mark O’Krafka to anyone with real estate needs of any sort.

My nephew Mark O’Krafka was instrumental in negotiating an unusual buy and sell.
We bought the home of the person who bought ours! As someone we could trust, we allowed Mark a lot of leeway during the negotiations. Mark is very personable, trustworthy, imaginative, fair, efficient, and reliable. I’m not saying this just because he’s a relative .. we’ve referred him to friends who have also expounded these virtues.
