He listed our house and sold it. Listed price was appropriate and the house attracted a lot of attention. After contract is signed, some issues were handled by him in the background and it helped us not stressing out on the sale.

Mario helped me sell and buy my house last year and he made the process very easy. I'm one of those nightmare home buyers that you've heard about from your friends. I have a very narrow criteria of homes that I would be interested in buying and Mario was extremely accommodating. Not only was he willing to meet me up pretty much any time of the day or weekend, he never complained or showed any kind of resentment when I would make him bring me to a house 40 miles from where he lives and we would walk in and I would give him a "No" within the first 30 seconds. He is a true professional. He also has an incredible team working behind him that was a pleasure to work with. When I bought my house this year I originally got the appraisal from Chase (which took 3 weeks!) and they under appraised the house by almost 100k. Mario's team recommended a mortgage company that he worked with regularly and not only was he able to convince them to do an appraisal the next day but they processed all my mortgage application paperwork very quickly. And when the new appraisal still came in below asking price, he negotiated a lower sales price on my behalf! My realtor saved me 10k without me even asking. He seriously is the best. He's not all about making money. He treated me like a personal friend throughout the whole process and I am now living in literally the perfect home for me.

Mario was very attentive during our Home Search in 2017, He listened to all our wants and needs in our Home Search. We went from Dallas to Richardson, to Garland, Plano and Rowlett. He was patient and very understanding during our entire search. I would recommend Mario to anyone wanting to sell or looking for a home

Mario was extremely helpful and patient during the home-buying process! Both my boyfriend and I work full time and were first-time home buyers, so needless to say there were many late and long night viewings for a little over 4 months. Mario made the process as painless and easy as possible. Any question that we asked he answered immediately or was able to direct us personally to someone who could answer our question. Mario is very personable and was very knowledgeable about the entire home-buying process down to a T. Once we were in our house, Mario and his wife brought us a gift and welcomed us into our new home graciously. We highly recommend Mario as a realtor, and we definitely plan to use him again when we are ready!

Mario helped our family with a home purchase in Southlake. He helped make sure that we were on track with all requirements to close escrow in a timely manner, was very responsive to all our inquiries, and overall a great mediator between us and the seller. Mario was personally attentive to our needs and treated us with respect. We highly recommend his service!

Mario and Christine provided excellent customer service from the very beginning of our house-buying process. They adjusted to my crazy work schedule. They found my family a great house, with great schools, in a great location. I would highly recommend Mario & Christine Talatala when it is time to purchase a house.
Dan and Lenlen
It was a great experience for me and my family having Mario and Christine as our Realtors. Their teamwork was excellent! We are first-time homebuyers but they made it very easy for us to deal with and have a smooth process. They are truly knowledgeable in dealing with the seller/agent in which we are able to negotiate some additionals and able to save us some money. They have different teams that coordinate which makes the process easier. They are very comfortable to work with and one thing I like about Mario and Christine is their desire to help you in getting your dream home which we have it right now. We are so lucky and blessed to have them as our realtors. We highly recommend this couple for anyone seeking a place called their HOME.

Buying a new house which you can actually call your Own Home can be an exciting but stressful life-changing event, so when my husband and I decided that we want to purchase a house I knew that we will definitely need an expert to guide us through the process. I met (Kuya) Mario and (Ate) Christine through their posts on Facebook and since they're Filipinos like me, I instantly felt comfortable in confiding with them in helping us out find the perfect home.. From Day 1 of going through our prospect houses to our final closing day, they have been there every step of the way, answering our queries and helping us sort out challenges that we have encountered. They will treat you like their own family and will work hard to the best of your interest. That is why all our friends who are interested in buying homes will be all working with them in finding their new homes. Me and my Husband will be always be grateful for Mr. and Mrs. Talatala's help..

We first reached out to Mario and Christine back in April 2018. This team knows their craft and is very knowledgeable about what they do. They happen to be our family friends but when it comes to business, they mean business! Being first-time home buyers, it was extremely stressful not knowing what will happen next. But with their expertise, they were able to provide trusted lenders, inspectors, and Megan (transaction coordinator) that stayed on top of schedules and ensured that we meet deadlines. Having both of them as our realtors puts us at a different advantage. When one can't attend to it, the other one will. They respond very quickly (time and day do not matter) and they have been really patient with our questions and made sure that our best interests were put first. They were there for us early/late to see and check out houses. We've looked at 10+ houses and they were very thorough when they go in. They'd check everything out and provide honest feedback about the property while being sensitive enough not to come in between our wishes/taste when it comes to layout and design. We will surely utilize their services again should we decide to move to a different place!! They are realtors that became our friends and are now part of our family! Thank you, Tito Mario and Tita Christine! Job well done!!

Mr. Mario and Ms. Christine exceeded our expectations as Real Estate professionals. Their team approach works well harnessing their individual strengths and expertise throughout the process of purchasing our home. They are great at helping us strategize what is best for our family with regard to price, location, schools, etc. They are extremely knowledgeable about the local area and the market. Not only do they have the knowledge, they also understand how to educate their clients in a comfortable manner. They also have an amazing network of other professionals from lenders to inspectors. Mr. Mario and Ms. Christine made us feel comfortable through the entire process and we were thankful to have such trustworthy agents on our side. They treated us with respect and sincerity and made our dream a reality. As a first-time home buyer they made the entire process PAINLESS from A to Z. We would not hesitate to continue to recommend Mr. Mario and Ms. Christine Talatala to friends, family, and colleagues.

Mario and Christine were recommended by my parents when they were buying their house 5 years ago. They were able to find us a home with everything on our "wish list" and in the location we really wanted. They are both highly experienced and have excellent negotiation skills. Due to slow lender processing, our contract almost got terminated. However, with Christine's help, we were able to extend our contract multiple times. My husband and I felt secure and well-represented during the whole process. We highly recommend them for your real estate needs!
Paul and Dixie
Mario and Cristine were very helpful! As a first-time home buyer, they guided us every step of the way in buying a house and made it simple to understand complicated things. They are very knowledgeable and professional. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell! You're in good hands.

Me and my family are first-time homebuyers, and we know little to nothing about how this home-buying works āthatās why we are very grateful to Mario and Christine for their hard work and dedication on finding the right house for us. We canāt thank them enough and we canāt wish for any better realtors. So we totally recommend their service as they go far and beyond!
Jenny and family
