Mark S. Young, II
Growing up on Aquidneck Island and SE Massachusetts-a graduate of Portsmouth High School, I grew to appreciate the variety of home architecture styles the region has to offer from Cape Cods & Colonials to Shingle Style, Dutch Colonials, Mid-Century Moderns & the Brutalist. My passion for history, preservation and historic homes has developed since childhood and has been enhanced by a family home that dates to 1790. After graduating from Lyndon State College in Lyndonville VT, my work in many of the historic sites in the area--from Touro Synagogue to the Newport Mansions and the International Tennis Hall of Fame, have further enhanced my interest in real estate, history and historic homes.
 
With 25 years of experience in buying and selling real estate as a property owner, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep understanding of the market to every transaction. My extensive background in property ownership in Newport, Portsmouth, Cranston and Fall River allows me to provide expert guidance and insights to ensure that my clients achieve their real estate goals with confidence and success.
Recently retired from the US Navy Reserves after 21 years, I know and understand the Navy's Core Values of Honor, Courage and Commitment and will maintain these values as I work with you to find you your next home. The Honor of having you choose me in your home search, as well as maintaining my honor and integrity as I work for you. The Courage to get you the price you deserve for your home and the Commitment of myself to your home search. My mission now is to secure your home.
 
My passion and my commitment is YOU -my customer, and I will dedicate myself to finding you the home that will be your forever home. Whether you are buying, selling or renting, I will be with you from the start of your search to the day of your closing as we work to find your forever home.
