    Sold a home in 2011.
    I had the pleasure of working with Mark on a coupld of deals, one buying a house and then selling it. Mark was nothing short of sensational helping us get rid of a house that we were going to lose in a bank forecloseure. In fact, he negotiated with the buyers to come up 4500.00 after we were in escrow to get the deal to close so I didn't have to come with any money as I couldn't afford it and woulnd't have because of other finnacial reasons.

    To say Mark went above and beyond is a mild understandment. There were other factors he had to overcome because of a personal situation which I won't get into, but if you're looking for a realtor, you absolutely cannot go wroing with Mark Brace.

    Tim, I'm just very glad we could end up making the sale happen. It was certainly a little trying at times. I'm just glad I could help.

    Bought a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $325K in Red Wing, MN.
    We thought Mark was ambitious, knowledgeable and personable. He cares about his clients and frankly, I think he spends so much time with his clients,I don't think he can have enough quality time with his family. Mark is devoted to his profession and his reputation proves that!

    Sold a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $675K in Eagle, MI.
    Mark could not have done a better job for our family, the farm had been in the family for nearly 50 years and we had been trying to sell it for the past 8 years, we changed listing agents in Februrary 2013 and 5 months later Mark got'r sold!

    Thank you very much Mark and we look forward to working with again in the future!
