I became a licensed REALTOR® in 2013, but my start in housing began in 1990!
My name is Mark Van Dongen. I am a Laurier graduate (BBA - 1983) and have lived in Kitchener-Waterloo for over 35 years!
My interest in housing began in 1990 when I started working for my father-in-law’s home building company MILLA Homes. For over 17 years, I have worked on site, in the office and of course in the Model Home!
I built 35 homes on my own home building company DIMARK Construction.
And, I oversaw the building of several hundred homes for a large Toronto Builder TRIBUTE Communities when they were building in Kitchener -Waterloo.
I served as the President of both the Guelph & District Home Builders’ Association in 1995 and the Waterloo Region Home Builders’ Association in 2000.
For over 20 years, I have served as a volunteer on many Home Builder Committees and Liaison Committees with the Region of Waterloo, City of Kitchener, City of Waterloo, and with the Chief Building Officials.
I became a registered real estate sales representative so that I would be able to help buy & sell EVERYTHING ELSE!
Over the past few years, I find that not only am I helping buyers and sellers of new homes & condos, but also buyers and sellers of resale homes, condos, investment properties & land. In addition, I am helping both landlords and tenants with renting homes and condos. And, I have been fortunate that I have also helped with several different kinds of commercial leasing.
I can honestly say that I really enjoy the variety!!
And, it would be my pleasure to be able to help you, in any way that I can. I will give you my honest opinions, an ethical approach, attention to detail, fully integrated marketing plans, great negotiating skills and the benefits of the RE/MAX Brand.
I will work with you in whatever way makes you most comfortable.
Lastly, I want you to know that I work by referral, or word of mouth, so I hope to be able to satisfy you in such a way that you would feel comfortable recommending me to your family and friends.
I would sincerely like to help you with your real estate needs, and I look forward to helping you in any way that I can.
