Windermere Homes & Estates Proudly Welcomes Mark Donar
Originally from the Midwest, Mark Donar enjoyed growing up in the Chicago suburb of Westmont, Illinois. After attending and graduating from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Mark started his quest to serve our nation as a United States Marine. Within his 22 years of service, Mark experienced several relocations, providing the opportunity to purchase five homes. During this time, Mark enjoyed “the hunt” for the next perfect home and taking on significant home improvement projects as he transitioned from one home to the next. After being assigned to Camp Pendleton, Mark found himself enjoying the beauty Southern California has to offer, from the surf of Oceanside to the sunny beaches running down the coast.
While the Marine Corps had moved Mark and his family several times, he always found his way back to Southern California. As Mark’s career as a Marine came to a close, he decided to plant his flag firmly in the Oceanside area, enjoying both the lifestyle and a community they now call home.
The direct result of five home purchases and eight moves within Mark’s career finally brought him into the Real Estate field. This experience has taught Mark about the different aspects of the Real Estate market with each purchase and sale. With his personal experience, Mark is now able to assist home buyers and sellers during their transitions, helping them to find their first, or next, perfect home. Applying his character, integrity, and negotiating skills that he has honed over his career culminating as a Lieutenant Colonel, Mark is able to ensure that his clients wants and needs are met, all the while leading them through the process from start to finish.
“Mark’s travels have given him an important perspective. Seeing the process from both sides so many times enables him to educate his clients about the process, and we’re delighted to have Mark on our Carlsbad team,” says Brian Gooding, co-owner of Windermere Homes & Estates.
