Mark is the CEO of Bayleys Real Estate Group in New Zealand. Mark is passionate about helping, leading and inspiring people to achieve their goals and be the best they can be. Mark leads a skilled team of real estate professionals, including specialists in all categories of the business. In the last 15 years Mark has focused on building Bayleys in the North, one of Bayleys largest franchises. He joined the board of Bayley Corporation in 2020. Mark joined Bayleys over 20 years ago as Group Marketing Manager. In this role he oversaw significant growth in the Bayleys brand nationwide, worked extensively in helping manage Bayleys franchise network and oversaw the development of marketing campaigns for many trophy properties around New Zealand. Prior to joining Bayleys Mark worked in a variety of marketing and management roles for the NZ Dairy Board, based in Wellington and Singapore, and then Dunlop Slazenger in the sporting goods business, based in the UK and then the USA. A strong part of the attraction of being lured back to NZ was the quality of lifestyle on offer.Having grown up in the country, the lure to move back to the country was strong, and he and his family are loving living on a small rural block in Matakana while spending his weeks in the city. Mark is, perhaps unusually, a third generation real estate agent and while for many years he thought he wouldn’t work in the business, now he can’t see himself doing anything else.
