I am one of the fortunate few to have been born and raised in this incredible location on the Pacific Coastline of California, which includes such well-known destinations as Carmel, Monterey and Pebble Beach. My Grandfather was a Swiss immigrant who came to America on the boat in 1898 and, starting from nothing, washed dishes in New York until he could afford to travel West. He settled in the Salinas Valley in 1912 and after much hard work was able to purchase a farm which is still run by my family today and continues to provide lettuce and mixed produce to this great nation. This legacy has been passed down from each generation in my Family and has instilled in me the values of honesty and hard work. My own Father, who worked the farm his entire life, taught me the values of Charity and contribution to the community. He dedicated his whole life to making the town he lived in a better place for future generation through his hard work and generous donations. I share his great conviction that it is highly important to give back to the community in which I live, so in 2008, along with my partner, we offered our home free of charge as a venue for the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital Fundraiser "Berries and Branches" which helped raise over $110,000 for the Women Health center enabling them to purchase a new mamography machine. In addition, we donated our premiere Auckland New Zealand Penthouse apartment to the "Big Brothers, Big Sisters" youth serving organization 2 years running to aid their fundraising activities. Finally, we support, as patrons, the Carmel Concours on the Avenue; A motoring Event which benefits the Carmel Foundation for the Aging during the world famous car-week on the Monterey Peninsula.

I graduated from Palma High School in Salinas and have a bachelor's degree from Santa Clara University in the Silicon Valley. From then on I worked in the local agro-business community for 15 years as Chief Financial Officer and Contract Manager for a local firm. I served as Vice President on the Board of Directors of the Bay Ridge Homeowners association of Monterey for 6 years and the Architectural Review Committee of the Bay Ridge Homeowners Association for 3 years (The neighborhood which I call home). I participated in local government as a member and Co-Chair for the Monterey County Association of Realtor government affairs for 4 years and the Monterey County Association of Realtors Investment task force for 2 years.

For the last 10 years I have worked in partnership with Gayle Crusan, owner and President of International Estates, to provide the kind of personal, individual and unparalleled service seldom found in any profession. Working as a team offers great benefits to all our clients while still affording each of us a reasonable quality of life with our family and friends. During this time I have achieved "Top Producer" status at International Estates on three separate years and have sold over $100,000,000 worth of property in the area. While these may be bragging rights for many real estate professionals, my bragging rights are the clients I have served and cared for. The only award I truly covet is that of a satisfied client.

The Monterey Peninsula is one of the most scenic and pristine areas in all of the United States. I often hear it compared to the Italian and French Riviera along the Mediterranean Sea in Europe. We enjoy a multitude of world-class events, which include extravagant automobile shows and premiere golf competitions. If you are considering purchasing a vacation home or relocating to this "paradise on earth" my extensive "LOCAL" knowledge of the area can help you find the residence and neighborhood to best suit your desires. I guarantee to make your home selling or buying experience an unexpected pleasure.

Peter and Ivana Walter:
... from the first contact we had with Mark, both Ivana and I new that we made a right choice and that we had an exceptional real estate professional on our side. Mark transformed our house hunting endeavor into a rather pleasant experience and provided us with great insights and guidance about right house location, suitable size selection and school district regions.

Mark fully demonstrated his great knowledge of real estate market procedures, professionalism and eagerness to go the extra mile during our unexpectedly lengthy and complicated process of purchasing a bank owned foreclosed property. There is no doubt that without Mark’s help we would not be now enjoying our new house with ocean view on the most beautiful Monterey Peninsula.
