Mark Runde is many things, but idle isn’t one of them. As an agent, he’s endowed with a composed nature, and an insatiable devotion to the needs of his clients. He developed an interest for investing and entrepreneurship at a young age. Mark first started a business making drone videos for real estate agents. He learned the basics of real estate marketing, which has been crucial in advertising his listings for sale and lease. While working alongside top performing real estate agents in a number of markets, he also discovered the secret skills of being a great agent – communication, transparency, and good old hard work. 

Later in college, while pursuing an accounting degree, he started a retail store selling mattresses. Running this business taught Mark how a proper lease space can make or break a business, and what a tenant should consider in their lease search. After graduation, he dove headfirst into commercial real estate and hasn’t looked back. While he avoided the accounting career path, Mark’s educational background is still useful for making his clients feel at ease when he analyzes investment properties and businesses for sale. In addition, he recently embarked on the educational journey to obtain a CCIM Designation – a highly regarded display of commercial expertise. He strives for superlative service – give Mark a call today.

Mark was raised on a dairy, beef, and grain farm in Wisconsin. In his time off, Mark is usually somewhere in the Montana wilderness – behind the handlebars of his Triumph or on top of a mountain that had no business being climbed. He has also played electric guitar for most of his life.
