My wife and I have been looking for real estate online in the northern Idaho area for several years. I have literally contacted over 20 agents from many real estate companies from the CDA area all the way up to Bonners Ferry. One name that kept coming back again and again was Mark McInnes. I would have to say, he stood out from the rest head over heals in follow up, service, knowledge and professionalism. When it came time to travel up there to visit some of the listings we’ve seen, Mark was the one that spent the time and effort to show these properties. Having been a broker here in California for over 15 years, it was a no-brainer to have Mark represent us for procuring a property in the northern Idaho region. I would strongly recommend Mark for all your real estate needs if you desire a property there. You’ll gain an incredible agent and a friend. Bill Evans, Nipomo CA

Mark stayed with us from our first searches until closing on our dream property. He spent hours upon hours educating us and helping us define exactly what we wanted. He never tired in giving us leads on listings that he thought might hit that special cord with us. Marks patience and determiniation not to let us just settle on something we were not 100% in love with was remarkable. Once we found our dream, Mark negotiated on our behalf and promptly secured a final offer that closed without a hitch. Mark continues to be an asset as we enjoy the process of developing our property into the final dream we envisioned.

Our experience with Mark McInnes was great! We live out of state and thought selling our cabin in Northern Idaho would be a major chore. Mark listed it, and kept us in the loop. He was very knowledgeable of our situation, and totally answered all our questions and concerns. He handled everything, all we had to do was sign on the dotted line!
Happy Seller
Mark shows very high standards within his job and as an individual at all times. Once he realized the criteria for our search, he was always accommodating. He is never a ‘pushy salesman’ and is willing to take any time necessary looking and traveling, explaining and listening. He is quick to say he doesn’t know something and just as quick to find an answer, or know why. Because none of us had met previously, Mark initially seemed to assume we were clueless to the buying process. Once we got to know each other and got on the same page, I now know an expert in this field and hopefully we have made a lifelong friend.
Buyer and Seller
Mark was extremely helpful as we were out of state buyers. He was on top of the issues we had with the house and communicated well. He took the time to go by the house when we could not and worked with our schedule when it came to scheduling closing dates etc.
Happy Buyer

Great guy!!
Buyer and Seller
We are so lucky to have found Mark to represent us. Communication was the best as he made sure we were up to date every step of the way, even just to touch base while we were waiting for the appraisal. Having been an out of town buyer Mark took care of so many of the details for us. Thank you so much Mark!!
Happy Buyer and Seller
My wife Kelly and I met Mark about 8 months ago. We began looking at homes but didn’t find what we were looking for at the time. Mark evidently paid attention to what we desired and we now have the perfect home in Idaho. The purchase of the home wasnt the easiest process with us living in another state. Mark handled everything for us just as if we had been there in person. We were never surprised or let down during the process because of Mark’s diligence to details. If you are looking for an Agent to represent you and also understands the “big picture” than Kelly and I highly recommend Mark McInnes for the job. You will be very happy.
Happy Buyer
We have bought and sold quite a few properties in North Idaho over the years. I have never had a realtor work so hard, give us such exposure, personally examine the property and do a wonderful video. Never had a realtor keep updating us weekly or more often on what he was doing to give our property exposure. I wish we knew a lot of people wanting to list properties…I would send them to Mark without hesitation!
Happy Seller
Mark has always been helpful to us. He has always been on our side. His knowledge in the nuances of his profession is impressive. He was a great help in selling commercial property in Idaho for us. More recently, we had specific questions concerning steps to take in selling residential property through the rent to own process. He was quick in returning our calls and email with pertinent information. We believe that he would always “be on cal” for us.
Happy Buyer
Mr. McInnes was a great realtor with which to work. He was very low pressure, while providing us with constant updates on new properties. He was very helpful in walking us through buying our first home. Mr, McInnes was recommended to us by friends, and I would gladly recommend him as well.
Buyer and Seller
This is the second house I bought using Mark as my realtor. He is awesome, he is consistently on top of any questions or concerns. I would recommend him to anyone!
Happy Seller
Mark represented our property when no one else would respond. It’s remote nature and lower value (netting small commissions) made it a very difficult property to represent. Showing the property required a good 4 wheel drive vehicle and a really good sense of humor. Thank you Mark for hanging in there when most people would have bailed.
Happy Buyer
It’s hard to know where to begin….Mark is a true professional ! He was able to help us in every way possible. He went above and beyond anything that we could have expected…..especially since we purchased our house totally on line…..I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a realtor!!

Mark helped my and my family find the perfect ski condo at Schweitzer. We had very specific needs and a budget that allowed for a limited number of condos. Mark worked with us until the we found the perfect place. He worked well with the other professionals involved in the purchase and made sure that everyone completed what was needed in a timely fashion. GREAT experience.
Happy Seller
It wasn’t an easy sell, basically Mom’s old and semi-run down residential property sitting in the middle of a developing commercial area which makes it difficult to get anything for the building itself. We had no experience with selling real estate and Mark was always a text or email away to answer our newbie questions without making us feel like idiots.
Happy Seller
Mark is very hands on thorough out the listing/selling process. He doesn’t just set back and wait for someone to sell it for him. Maximum advertising to get the listing out. & most of all excellent communication ! Weekly updates if not more .
Happy Buyer
It was refreshing to work with Mark. I found him to be knowledgeable, personable, helpful, and very professional. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent who communicates and follows up on a timely basis.
Happy Seller
Mark was very supportive, patient, on track, up to the present problems, offering advise basic on the facts. Even was with me when I went to the ER for bowel obstruction. Called checking on me when I refused to be hospitalized. His patience for all the obstacles I put in his way to get my house sold is way beyond the average person in this profession. The most outstanding item is the disappointment and wear on Mark when I did not go through with the real estate selling. Sure he was hurt but did not lose control over what was going on. Helped me to get my earnest money back on the other house. In very plain words Mark is very understanding and yet lets you know how your decision effects so many people. Yes I was not the only one who was so disappointed in turning down those who wished to purchase my home. mark is an outstanding realestate salesperson.
Happy Seller
I was most impressed by Mark’s ability to keep the process of selling our home moving forward throughout the ups, downs, challenges, etc. I also appreciated Mark’s flexibility and accessibility via email, text and phone as well as his direct communication style. I don’t plan to walk through the process again anytime soon but if I did I would recommend Mark.
Happy Client
What we appreciated the most about Mark was his flexibility. He worked his schedule around our crazy schedules and even brought the documents to us to sign. He was very diligent in keeping things moving through the purchase process. He was also great at keeping us informed as to where we were in the process.
Happy Buyer
Mark is on it! From the very start of our working relationship Mark was very helpful. His will to help us find what “we” wanted and not push us to what might work made working with him great. Through every step of the process Mark was ahead of the game. Even when my bank was dragging its feet, Mark had a good reliable reference which we ended up using. I’ll definitely keep his number saved on my phone in case I buy again in his area or if anyone else I know needs some realestate help. The whole buying process for me was very easy….THANKS to Mark McInnes!!!
Happy Buyer
Mark Don McInnes has been very friendly and helpful with our home purchases. He helped us buy our very first home. He was great to work with and kept in close contact with us helping line out everything we needed to do since it was our first home purchase and we didn’t know the process. We felt confident in Mark and he helped us get through the process smoothly and quickly. He answered all of our questions along the way. We worked with Mark again when we purchased our second home/property. He worked quickly and persistently to get the deal done and help us get the purchase as there were several offers in. Mark has always been fun to work with and we feel confident that he will give us honest recommendations. He is a hard worker. We’ve enjoyed doing business with Mark and will definitely work with him again in the future!
Happy Buyer
I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Mark Don McInnes. If anyone is looking for someone that does everything from making sure you get what your looking for to meeting you at 5am before work to get paperwork signed this is your guy. Mark does everything needed to take care of his clients. I would recommend him to anyone I knew that was looking to buy a house. I’m very grateful to have found him online. The next day after calling him he had me in 2 houses the next day he does not keep you waiting, so don’t make a mistake by going to someone else just give Mark a call and don’t be disappointed.
Happy Buyer
Complete home buying support. Beginning with searches, to viewing homes, to closing, Mark provided great guidance and support through this whole process. He was willing to put in the extra effort to satisfy his client (me). He also has great contacts and support to further make the whole process even better.
Happy Buyer
I have been dealing with Mark for several years and always go back. Mark has rare and unique qualities that are very conducive to real estate sales. He is very responsive to the customer needs and always opens a very positive two way communication channel. Once he has a clear idea what the customer needs he locates and presents the property in a very professional manner. He is a very hands on agent and goes out of his way to show the very best and practical properties. Unlike a lot of agents I have dealt with he actually leaves his desk and spends time with the customer. I wish more agents were like him. He is the best.
Happy Seller
I tried to sell my home by myself for about 4-5 months, got very little activity. I decided to list it and had called another realtor, who didn’t get back to me. Mark called me out of the blue after seeing my “For Sale by Owner” sign, and luckily I listed it with him. I worried it wouldn’t sell in the winter, but Mark got the word out on it, and the showings started. His advice and expertise showed that I had it priced too high. We had an offer in about 4 months. He did everything that he said he would do throughout the process – no empty promises. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Happy Buyer
Mark was great during the whole process of looking for, and finding our new home. He is very knowledgeable and he answered every question we had (we had a lot of them since we had never bought a home before). He is very easy to talk to, he made us feel very comfortable about asking any question we had. He was very accessible, I never felt that he was too busy for us. Buying a home can be very stressful and I thought Mark did a great job of alleviating a lot of the stress for us by keeping us well informed of what to expect, and what was happening at all times. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. UPDATE: We just bought a second home and Mark, was of course our agent. I just want to stress the fact that he is so helpful and available, I again never felt that Mark was too busy to help me with a question. He was just as excellent as the first time he helped us, if not more! I would absolutely recommend Mark to anyone.
Happy Buyer
Bottom line for anyone purchasing a home is how comfortable they are with the real estate agent – are they honest, do they have your best interests in mind, are they responsive, are they doing what needs to be done in the background, are they keeping me apprised of the progress. Throughout the entire purchase process I have to say I was never worried having Mark at the helm. Hands down I would recommend to anyone considering purchasing or selling a home to contact Mark, and rest assured you have one of the best on your side.
Happy Seller
Mark was extremely responsive, patient, and attentive. He is honest & upfront throughout the process and cares more about people than making a sale. I felt very confident in his knowledge and haven’t found anyone who has worked harder to help achieve my goals. I highly recommend Mark
