My Bio
In the past 9 years, Mark Slade has built a real estate business that has closed almost $1/2 Billion and 750 seller and buyer transactions in over 50 towns in New Jersey.
Interestingly enough, Mark’s college studies at Brandeis University encompassed Economics, Fine Arts and Urban studies, disciplines that have proven to be very beneficial to his career in the Real Estate industry after transitioning from Executive Vice President in the Fashion Industry to sole practitioner in real estate career and, more recently, as head of a multi-person team with annual sales over $30,000,000.
Mark has built his business using a dedication to customer centric focus and adding cutting edge, tech savvy strategies that help make the customer real estate experience easier to understand and navigate. His efforts with his sellers has enabled them to achieve a 3.2% higher-percentage-paid-to-list-price than the average agent from the same MLS in the same towns.
While his sellers consistently achieve higher results, his buyers, on average, consistently pay less than the average agent. Need to Sell and Buy at the same time? Mark prides himself on making this as smooth and successful a move as possible for his clients!
Mark owns and operates 7 Websites, including one site dedicated solely to our luxury listings (we are CLHMS certified). He also owns and operates 29 town-specific Open House sites, thus blanketing the area with information for thirsty buyers.
Lastly, he has amassed and continues to add to a huge presence over a dozen Social Media sites and pages as well as 353 domains to provide quick-find solutions and answers for our clients. Clients love working with Mark and his team because he makes the home buying and selling process as easy as possible.
In this day of instant access, Mark operates with a 24/7 responsiveness. Equally important, the Slade Team makes it part of their mission to GIVE BACK to over a dozen charities and organizations as well as sponsoring a multitude of school fundraising events and major arts events throughout the area.
I was an Executive Vice President in the Fashion Industry that was downsized out during the industry contraction in late 2006-9.
I ended up on Food Stamps after my unemployment ran out. I did some sole searching and recognizing that I had dual degrees in Economics and Fine Arts with a love of Architecture, I came to the realization that a career in Real Estate might be a great fit.
As a brand new agent, I had to double up on as much learning as possible so I could begin to be a credible agent with a solid amount of knowledge and know-how. Then, as momentum took root, I had to learn to let go of being exclusively involved in all the aspects of the business and leverage growth by adding agents, admin help, and building a team.

When I finally felt I had achieved a level of accomplishment that finally distanced me from the fears, trials, and tribulations of losing my job in the fashion industry, having to go on Food Stamps, but now I'm running my own business that is averaging $40 Million annually for each of the past years
Quick Links, Retargeted Marketing, Social Media, Multiple Websites, Multiple CRM platforms, and anything new I can get my hands on. I often get asked to Beta test new apps and platforms and was selected by Keller Williams to represent our region at FutuRE Com.
We have increasingly become a YELP/GOOGLE/ZILLOW REVIEW society, and its no different for Real Estate with Zillow currently providing the most populated aggregation of realtor reviews. While not every person will search online for their agent, it is where the vast majority of consumers will 'shop' for their agent. Even when agents are referred by other local friends or past clients, their reviews are often checked out online to help validate that they are making the best choice to suit their needs. So, getting good reviews is paramount to running a good business where you can create the momentum for more and more business.
Making sure we get our reviews are part of the follow-up we provide our past clients to let them know we are still available as a resource for any home or community-related questions and concerns.
First off, we are 24/7/365 and offer dedicated customer service to all our clients. We are also an extremely tech-friendly real estate business with books geared to Sellers and Buyers. We offer a good number of QuickLinks to help our clients know what they need to know as easily and quickly as possible. We not only use Social Media to market our properties, but I teach Social Media for Realtors.
