During that period, he purchased and sold properties on an ongoing basis and developed a solid foundation in the principles of construction as well as the principles of negotiation.

An Associate Broker, he's committed to using his experience to advance the real estate objectives of his clients and to ensure that the experience of buying or selling a home is both enriching and satisfying. In addition to his membership in the Rhode Island Statewide MLS, Newport County Board of Realtors®, RI Association of Realtors®, and National Association of Realtors®, Mark is a board member of the East Passage Lot Owners Association in Jamestown and  a board member of the Jamestown Rotary Club.
