In 2004, Mark Shandrow joined Keller Williams as a new real estate agent. He gravitated towards the company’s strong learning-based environment.  Mark quickly gained accolades as a top salesperson-earning “Rookie of the Year” and many top sales productions awards. While at Keller Williams Mark participated in the company leadership by serving on the Agent Leadership Council (AGL), instructed courses, and mentoring newer agents.

As the local and national real estate market quickly changed from a hot seller’s market to a foreclosures market, Mark quickly responded by changing his strategy as well. He rapidly became Keller Williams top foreclosure agent, working with many of the country’s top asset management firms, including Ocwen Asset Management, Single Source Properties, Aurora Home Loans and Green River Capital. Recognizing the pressing need for a specialized real estate brokerage service that also can offer professional rental services, Mark opened his brokerage, Shandrow Group, Inc. in 2008.

Mark Shandrow has extensive, first-hand experience in Southern California real estate from all perspectives as a longtime buyer, seller and property manager, and eventually as a licensed Realtor and real estate broker. His breadth of knowledge lends him a uniquely informed insider edge in the local real estate market.

At the age of 27 Mark bought, renovated and began managing his first investment property in Long Beach. Since then, Mark has successfully invested in real estate and managed properties for 10-plus years. He owns some 20 rental units in Long Beach, California and out-of-state.

In 1990, Mark earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics from the University of New Hampshire’s distinguished Whittemore School of Business and Economics. Before becoming a Realtor and real estate broker, Mark co-founded a national non-profit organization called Bikestation®. As the executive director of Bikestation®, he traveled the country pioneering the concept of creating livable communities through increased bicycle and public transportation usage. The marketing and public relations skills that Mark gained in the non-profit arena are instrumental in continuing to build his client-focused real estate business.

While working for Bikestation®, on weekends and evenings Mark occupied his spare time buying, remodeling and selling real estate as an investor. Eventually he realized that real estate was his true passion and career interest. Mark’s intimate knowledge of the ins and outs of local real estate stemming from his ongoing hands-on experiences with his own investment properties at every level have refined and deepened his knowledge of the local market.
