Welcome to my blog pages!  

I’ve been in the real estate business for more than 25 years, and I’ve learned that trust, care, and competence are the three most essential elements in successful relationships. I am now taking my professional experiences, my industry knowledge, and sharing it with you through my blog pages.

If you don’t see a real estate topic you would like to learn about; I invite you also to contact me. We can discuss it, and then I will write about it.  

Thanks, Mark
