Occupation: Realtor During the late 1980s, Mark fell in love with the Philadelphia real estate market. The first condo he bought for himself was in Old City. Working with bank foreclosures on multi-unit buildings, Mark began to carve his niche as a condominium specialist. Since that time, Mark has progressed into helping developers turn apartment buildings into condominium buildings. Having been inside countless condos in the Center City real estate area, Mark is intimately familiar with the available properties. Mark prides himself and impresses others of his vast knowledge of what's trendy and knows which finishes buyers look for when selecting a home.... so much so that he's been seen on HGTV's What You Get For The Money, CN-8's Money Matters and was the 2005 winner of Philadelphia Magazine's Kitchen of the Year contest.

Call me a scared-y-cat, but I wouldn't live next to a graveyard. It kinda' spooks me out. Yeah, I am 47, and all grown up, can do my own laundry. But the idea of zombies from Michael Jacksons "Thriller" video chasing me around my house at night isn't my i...
