BROKER Q&A

John-Mark M. Mitchell: Mitchell Prime Properties Helping redefine the Luxury Real Estate Market in North Carolina, USA and consistently educating the public on the Art of Selling Well. How did you start in real estate? Upon completing college, it seemed a great idea to take a year off before continuing my educational journey. Having had a real estate license, I thought that was a natural place to rest and enjoy a little downtime from the books. I was wrong. By joining a local company, I developed a fever for selling and became the top company producer in a few months. I was then recruited by the largest firm in the area and worked my way to the top again. After realizing this was more than just a few years rest from law school, I never looked back. I made the decision to invite my mother into the business and built a large team of brokers; which broke every record in marketing and selling homes for 12 consecutive years. Wanting ownership in a company, I partnered with an 80-year-old luxury firm until they sold to a large corporate franchise 3 years later. This gave me the opportunity to begin my own company, which we took on April 1st, 2014. Since then, Mitchell Prime Properties has been voted Top 3 Firms by Winston-Salem Journal Readers Choice and has maintained the Highest Average Closed Price in the entire 14 County Area of NC, closing 100+ homes per year.

What are the keys to your success in luxury real estate? I believe there are a lot of keys to success, but the most important one is who you associate with in business. We select our associates very carefully because they need to be proud of our company and ultimately
