Mark began his career in real estate at the age of 12, being paid a penny a sheet to keep his dad’s MLS three-ring binder up to date. Mark has broadened his experience over the past 40 years in a variety of housing-related work, including construction, property management and real estate brokerage, before advancing to the position of Chief Executive Officer at a large REALTOR® association more than ten years ago. In addition to real estate, Mark’s passions also include his family, sports, reading, boating and exploring all points on the planet.

After seven years as the Director of Marketing for two different REALTOR® associations, Breanna tried her hand as a REALTOR® while earning her MBA from the University of Saint Thomas in Minnesota. She is a REALTOR® Certified Executive (RCE), was a client manager for Disney on Ice and the Food Lion grocery store chain (big in the South), and was a marketing rep for the Rubbermaid NASCAR / Kurt Busch team (slightly bigger in the South than Food Lion). She lives in Blaine, which is funny to 10K staff.

Becca is the straw that stirs the drink. If you receive a report from us, there is a good chance that it has crossed her desk. Rebecca has nearly ten years of experience in making a real estate association go, thus she has been an ideal part of providing the tools that associations (and MLSs) want and need.
