I have just started working with Mark as an OOS investor. He has already spent considerable time answering my million questions, educating me on which areas to look in and which ones to avoid. He has in-house property management and construction services available. As an OOS investor having a one-stop-shop is even more valuable. He has already steered me away from properties that I thought look good on paper. I will update my review once we get a deal done together. Looking forward to building up a significant portfolio in Rochester with Mark's help.

TEN out of five stars!!!
Mark Updegraff quite literally found me my dream home!! To highlight the extent of this accomplishment, I must share that:
I'm a single mom, first time homebuyer, with a very modest budget, purchasing in the aggressively competitive post-pandemic market.
I'm also a salsa dancer and yoga instructor, and one of my pipe dreams was to be able to host dance & movement classes at my house.
Well... Mark found me a home in my desired area, within my budget, that *just so happened* to have an open-space addition where I now host dance parties and yoga classes!
Mark showed me dozens of properties. I had so many questions about the home buying & homeownership process, and he supported and empowered me the entire journey. No question was too naive or stupid, and there was no problem that couldn't be fixed.
He also went to bat for me when I found the property I can now enthusiastically call a *VERY* happy home to me and my girls!
I cannot more highly praise Updegraff Group Realty. I can say I am not only a highly satisfied customer, but a truly grateful friend :)

Mark did an amazing job throughout the entire process of helping us find and buy the best house on the market in our price range. He is extremely knowledgeable about the ins and outs of real estate, and he even knows what to look for when it comes to the structure and safety of homes, because he personally repairs and rebuilds them. We truly could not have asked for a better realtor, and if you choose Updegraff Group too, I guarantee you will feel the same.

Mark is a very qualified buyers agent, especially for multi-family homes. He's very honest and straightforward and not afraid to low ball sellers. He wants the best deal for you and not worried about the price effecting his commission. He's also up with the times of new technology to get things done faster. He's also very responsive and gets back to you in minutes, not days

I was apprehensive to invest in Rochester given that I live hours away and am not too familiar with the area. After extensive research I chose to work with Mark Updegraff and am so happy I did.
I was impressed with everything from his extensive knowledge of the real estate market, locally and in general, he went so far as to break down the pros and cons of every potential property to help my beginner eyes see through his experience.
Mark and his team helped me analyze potential investment properties from property value, repairs required (and how to get them done quickly) as well as the rental market from rental rates, cycles and any other crazy question I came up with (and I asked a bunch)
Through the efforts of Mark and his team we were able to lock down a multiple offer property and close with minimal hassle.
We look forward to working with Updegraff Group to continue growing our investment property portfolio

Down to the earth, easy to work with, honest, never any gimmick, excellent skills with counterpart agents and with tenants. Has an professional team in case you need any help such as mortgage expert, house inspector, engineer, attorney, accountant etc. I was new to RE investment market, and starting my endeavor with him has given a great sense of safety. He's dedicated to my success by providing individualized service. He has made my every dollar spent worthwhile.

Mark is very knowledgeable over many aspects of real estate. He provided me a tremendous amount of information when looking for an investment property. He showed me what to look for in an investment property and gave me advice on how to manage it. When I moved out of state, Mark and his team went above and beyond helping me sell both my primary residence and rental property while I was 3,000 miles away. He ensured both transactions went smooth and even managed the property with a troublesome tenant while I was gone. If you are looking for the most knowledgeable real estate professional in Rochester that goes the extra mile, Mark is your guy!

Mark was a crucial partner as first time investors in the Rochester area. His local market knowledge and responsiveness are unparalleled. In addition to helping potential investments (including off-market deals), he also gave candid and comprehensive assessments of properties. Additionally, he was a trusted partner during the negotiation and closing process. After closing, Mark's property management team have made property maintenance and repairs very smooth and easy. Looking forward to an ongoing and productive relationship with Mark and his team.
