 My Company Background, and A Personal Introduction... Your home buying or selling experience may be the most important transaction of your life. Savings of time and money are crucial in your relocation. Mark Wilson, a North Carolina native born and raised in Raleigh, can help...and here are five good business reasons: #1 - You have the technology skills needed to buy or sell a home in today's market - or you wouldn't be here right now. Me too. But it's also true most people think about real estate only when they are actually buying or selling their own home. Wouldn't it be wise to allow the help of someone who thinks about real estate constantly? ...An experienced agent you can trust - to understand your needs (but give you breathing room) - to be a master of details, connections, and negotiation for you - to listen, respond quickly, and get you the results you want, cost-free to you? I do this every day.  #2 - I created Find My Dream Home® (our independent real estate brokerage firm) in today's real estate internet reality to pass savings on to my buyer and seller clients. Did you know that ALL of the many fine agents with large real estate corporations are independent and self-employed, exactly the same as me and my associates? The difference is hefty franchise fees paid by national brands for image advertising needed to attract your business. There are approximately 7,000 licensees here in the Triangle (300 make a living), and nearly 400 more new and inexperienced agents are licensed each month in North Carolina... And I also have a large experienced team backing me right now ready to help you, which includes the best local Mortgage Lenders available for immediate counsel, Licensed Home Appraisers, Certified Financial Planners, reputable Home Insurance Providers and Contractors, Licensed ASHI-Certified Home Inspectors, Pest & Termite Consultants, Real Estate Closing Attorney Specialists, Custom Home Builders...and more. #3 - I know the North Carolina real estate market - I've been doing this a long time. A true native, I've lived in Raleigh, Wilmington, Charlotte, Boone, and Blowing Rock my entire life. I was born at Old Rex, and I remember when we were out of school here for snow, and half-day school holidays for the State Fair! I've transacted the full range of $100k first-time buyers, $1,000,000 sellers, investment property, new construction, 1031 exchanges... Licensed by the North Carolina Real Estate Commission since 1995, I'm a Graduate of the REALTOR® Institute (GRI®), an Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR®), and a HUD registered foreclosure agent. Begin your dream home search in the Triangle MLS area here.  I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the Certificate Program of Duke University, and the REALTOR® Institute of the North Carolina Association of REALTORS®. I had fond semesters at Appalachian State along the way. I'm a member of the National, North Carolina, and Raleigh Regional Associations of REALTORS®, the Triangle Multiple Listing Service, and the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council (REBAC®). In addition, I'm licensed by the North Carolina Department of Insurance in Life, Health and Long Term Care - all essential to wealth planning.
#4 - As Owner and Broker in Charge, I apply a meticulous standard of quality and attention to detail in the purchase and sales process of single-family residences and income properties working within the communities of Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, Knightdale, Wendell, Fuquay Varina, Willow Springs, Garner, Chapel Hill, and Research Triangle Park. I advocate emerging real estate technology, and exceed our required annual continuing real estate education. Already this year, I've undertaken an advanced look at all new real estate law changes, estate planning, the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency, survey implications, radon testing, homeowners associations, ethics & professional standards, auction alternatives sales approaches, local foreclosures, professional home staging, mortgage loan origination and creative approaches to pre-qualifying buyers for lower payments - advantages lenders should have ready for you. I provide research sources to you for the local schools and access to distressed properties, foreclosures, and investment property. I can refer you to qualified, informed consultants for any relocation you may be considering nationwide.  #5 - Results proven, of course! Credentials recognize professional preparation and legitimate experience. Client testimonials verify results. You can click the picture and read why our many client families believe the right agent made the difference.
...and you'll be successful, too! Like so many citizens before me, I've also served my community in other ways, including the Board for a local Chamber of Commerce, on an Ad Hoc Advisory Board for the NC Arts Council, currently as an HOA Board Member, and by supporting Homes4NC (project of the North Carolina Association of Realtors), Make A Wish, Red Cross, WSHA Public Radio (if you're looking for Jazz and Blues), Habitat for Humanity, Piedmont Biofuels Co-op, and by giving time to Prevent Blindness North Carolina. One more thing - I've always been a top producer ...and my real estate story has a unique beginning you might enjoy, if you want to dig deeper. It may even be "entertaining"... |
