Mark and his family have long considered Asheville their second home. Having grown up only an hour away in Morganton, NC, he has spent lots of time exploring and experiencing the many cultural, culinary, and outdoor adventures that Asheville has to offer. When an opportunity presented itself for him and his family to move here in August 2015, they jumped at the chance to become Asheville locals! Along with his relocation came a career change from the field of music education to the world of real estate. Mark is a lifelong musician with a strong desire to educate others about music, so he spent eighteen years teaching middle school and high school band. Now that he has established himself as a top agent in the real estate industry, he is loving the educational process that goes into helping people buy and sell homes. Whether he is working with first-time home buyers as they navigate their way through purchasing their first home, or helping people who are relocating to Asheville learn about the various areas and neighborhoods, or even assisting long-time Asheville residents better understand the current market trends, he is right at home in the role of educator and advisor. Mark, his wife Rachel, and their five children all love calling Asheville “home.” As a proven and highly respected Real Estate Professional, he will work diligently and with the utmost integrity to help you realize your real estate dreams and goals.
