Building the American Dream
MARK ROWSON & MARISON REAL ESTATE
ith over 30 years experience in property development, Marison Real Estate’s Managing Broker, Mark Rowson, brings backstage knowledge and concierge service to the Lamorinda, Hayward, and San Francisco areas. Coming from a CPA background, Mark has led various real estate development companies, holding CFO and Division President roles at the Hutensky Group, Shea Homes, Richmond American Homes, Lennar, and KB Homes. “In today’s world a lot of people are putting lipstick on a pig,” says Mark. “Because I’ve been in the homebuilding business so long I know exactly how a house is put together. I know what can go right or wrong, which benefits our buyers and sellers.” After heading eight offices as KB Homes’ Vice President of Sales, Mark forged his tenured business background with land acquisition and sales expertise, building the same impressive foundation Marison Real Estate is known for today. Having trained his team on the structural and design details that often go unnoticed, Marison’s agents not only come with a keen eye, but a collaborative network, offering layers of support to buyers, sellers, and investors. “We’re the people that handhold our clients, and treat them with kid
gloves. It’s like a concierge service. That’s what we do for every client out there, whether it’s a 3 million or 300,000 dollar home,” he says. Equipped with over 50 years of industry experience, the boutique real estate company has flourished since its 2011 founding and plans to double its staff in the coming year. Focused on making both Realtors and clients an extension of the family, Marison Real Estate offers a connected, fluid environment for all. “You come here and it’s a family atmosphere. Agents often spend more time here than they do at home, so we want to make it warm and inviting. We all work together to help each other out. That’s what it’s all about,” says Mark.
Operating as a detail-oriented, client centric firm, Marison’s sellers receive top notch marketing materials, and direct access to the managing broker, bringing a spectrum of experience to each transaction. As members of both the San Francisco and Bay East Board of Realtors, Marison’s listings also receive extensive exposure, garnering a range of prospective buyers from various markets. Having lived in the Bay Area for 25 years, Mark and his local team come with in-depth market knowledge, ensuring each client finds the right home that aligns with their wants and needs. “As a buyer, you’re going to make memories in a home, and we want to help you create that memory,” says Mark. We’re here to assist you the entire way through. Since I’ve been a builder I can actually feel the buyer’s pain and say, ‘this is why it is and this is how we can fix it.’” When he’s not leading his real estate family, Mark enjoys spending time with his wife of 21 years, Michele, and his daughter, Montana. A recent Campolindo graduate, Montana will be off to Los Angeles in the fall for film and recording school, pursuing a career as a singer, songwriter, and producer. After 30 years Mark is still undeniably passionate about his career, and gets the most satisfaction from helping clients traverse through the American dream. “My favorite part of the business has to be when I see a smile on a buyer’s face as they realize they now own that home. That’s the best part. That makes it all worthwhile,” he says. By Kimberly Gomes, HomeFolio Media Writer
