About Mark and Mel Mark Bonds was raised in Phoenix, Arizona with 3 siblings. As a child, Mark loved outdoors sports and broke records in Track and Field, which led to a College Scholarship. Mark was studying to be an Accountant and didn't imagine that he’d go into the Real Estate Industry, but you can’t always predict where or when you’ll discover what you’re meant to do in life and Mark ended up excelling as a Real Estate Professional. Mark was taught at a young age that if you want something in life, you have to work for it. So that’s what he did. And he worked hard, being mentored by his seniors that could see he would excel as a Real Estate Professional. As the years went by, Mark worked his way from Agent to Team Lead and Mentor, sharing his fix and flip knowledge, short sale knowledge and real estate investment knowledge, never wavering in his resolve to become the best version of himself with each client and each situation. Mark has over 30 years experience as a Licensed Real Estate Professional, first licensed in 1985.

He has helped hundreds of clients buy and/or sell over the years, in virtually every community in the Phoenix metro area, with all types of properties and price ranges.
