I saw this opportunity where you could take buildings that weren’t managed well or were vacant or needed some kind of work — like large multifamily apartment buildings where you could raise the rents, add value and really increase their value based on better management.  Seeing the scale you could do with some of these properties was really exciting, it got me completely out of my comfort zone and really challenged me.

Plus, Mark shares a lesson that he learned from his father—a now retired agent. It is one that we can all give thought to, and that is to do business the right way. His father was known for his honesty and putting his clients above himself which got him considerable repeat business because so many trusted and respected him.

Mark also prides himself on his honesty and reliability. If he says he’s going to do something, he does it!
