He has been instrumental in building a 6 person team, The Rakela Team, that has helped hundreds with their real estate needs. Moving to Hoboken in 2007 and buying a 2 bedroom condominium was when the goal of real estate home ownership became a reality but his passion for real estate can be traced back to his infancy. He was raised in New York City for two years when his parents locked in a 3 bedroom co-op on the Upper East Side. During the transaction, it became clear to his mother that the family needed to move to Switzerland for two years to treat Mark’s autistic sister (see our non-profit Georgiana Institute for more details). Unfortunately, the co-op board would not allow a sublet for 2 years so the contract was voided. This began a string of 7 homes until he went off to college at the age of 18.
