Mark Thorne

Mark is a full time, professional Realtor. He has worked through many different real estate markets over the years and has assisted his clients in over $500 million worth of real estate transactions. Mark strives to stay ahead of the information and legal curve by continually taking classes, attending seminars as well as on-line courses. With changing market legalities and conditions, he generally exceeds the minimally required Continuing Education clock hours mandated by the State. As a member of the National Association of Realtors, he subscribes to the Code of Ethics.

Mark is not a pressure-oriented Broker. Whether the client is purchasing or selling a home, changes occur in the process; in the markets; and in the legal issues year to year. “I have clients thank me profusely for not trying to sell them every house we see. I believe in educating the client as to their options – after all, it is their house, it is their decision! I am not making the mortgage payments – the client is. I listen to the client. Once the client makes their decision, I then proceed with the utmost care and integrity in assisting them to accomplish their wishes.”

This down-to-earth dedication has earned him numerous local and national production awards including Coldwell Banker’s International President’s Circle award for the past three years. However, production is one thing. Knowing your clients are satisfied with your service is another. Mark has also been a 9-year winner of the coveted “5-Star Real Estate Brokers” award as recognized by Seattle Magazine. The award is for exceptional overall satisfaction as indicated by an independent survey of consumers and industry professionals and awarded to less than 7% of Seattle area brokers. As a result, many of Mark’s clients are repeat customers or referrals from happy, satisfied clients.
