MARK SIWIEC

Since 1991, the formula for Mark’s success has been based on three simple tenets: honesty, persistence, and an unparalleled commitment to his clients. It's because of his relentless adherence to these principles that he derives nearly eighty percent of his business from previous buyers and sellers. Last year, that meant that more than $45,000,000 in sales was transacted as a result of satisfied customers referring their family and friends. By extension, Mark believes that his professional life and personal life are, in many ways, one and the same and both are ultimately a reflection of his personal integrity. When these are the convictions that define your life, you enjoy the privilege of looking back on a thirty-year career resulting in more than three quarters of a billion dollars in sales. Best of all? The friendships made along the way!

Intertwined with his professional and personal life is a love for the city of Rochester and a dedication to civic engagement. For more than twenty-five years he has contributed both his time and money to local philanthropic organizations. Often, he has chaired a board or a gala event to create a better and more vibrant city in which to live.
