I've called the Capital Region home for over 35 years. I know these neighborhoods the way only a local can — the streets, the schools, the hidden gems, the blocks that are quietly becoming the next big thing. This area isn't just where I work. It's where I raised my family.

I spent years in IT, helping clients solve complex problems and making sure nothing fell through the cracks. When I brought that same energy to real estate, it clicked. The attention to detail, the communication, the drive to get things right — it all carried over. Today I'm proud to be part of the trusted team at Vera Cohen Realty, where I help buyers and sellers navigate every step with confidence.

When I'm not showing homes or negotiating deals, you'll probably find me behind the turntables — I DJ on the side and there's nothing better than watching a room full of people light up to a great track. I'm also a diehard Giants fan who lives for game-day Sundays with family and friends. But above all, my greatest passion is helping my clients reach their goals — whether that's unlocking the front door of a first home or maximizing the equity they've built over decades.

Such an amazing experience! We bought number of properties and sold number of them. I must say this one was a lot of work and thanks to Mark's professionalism. He really made it very easy!!! Thank you very much!!

Such an amazing experience! Mark is so knowledgeable yet calm, even when we hit a few bumps in the process of our sale. He always made sure we were well aware of everything going on so there were never any surprises. This was our first time selling a home, and was pretty nerve-wracking at first admittedly, but Mark made sure everything went so smoothly for us. If you're ever in the market to buy or sell, you definitely need Mark in your corner!
