Meet Mark

Mark Finkelpearl knows DC inside and out; he’s lived here since the mid-1990s, raising three kids who all attended DCPS and renovating two homes. With a long career as a nonfiction television producer and executive, Mark worked for National Geographic TV and Discovery Communications, where he honed the creativity and customer service skills that make him a success in real estate. Like television, real estate is a collaborative endeavor, and Mark’s project management skills ensure his clients achieve their real estate dreams. Using his visual creativity, Mark helps his clients see the unlocked potential of every home. He works from a place of compassion and understanding, simplifying what can be a difficult and emotional process. Employing his talents as a producer, Mark keeps each real estate transaction on schedule and on budget.

Originally from Pittsburgh, Mark bleeds black and gold. He plays guitar in a garage band that jams out at neighborhood block parties. He also writes about music for guitar magazines and supports Operation Understanding DC, a social justice training program that brings the civil rights movement to life for high school juniors. Mark's greatest achievement was raising three kids into successful adults - and be sure to ask him about his years following the Grateful Dead.

Happy Clients.

"We give Mandy, and her knowledgeable and highly responsive team, all the credit for our recent home sale! They are just amazing. Throughout the listing and sales process, we relied extensively on Mandy's exceptional expertise. The key differentiators are her deep, insightful knowledge of the DC real estate market, her attention to detail, the team (from the photographer to the closing crew), and the ability to bring untraditional buyers available exclusively through their connections and affiliation with Compass. We highly recommend Mandy to anyone looking to buy or sell their property in the Metro Washington DC region and are most grateful for her help."

Mandy and MDT impressed us with the level of expertise and the depth of support they provided to help us sell our house. They assisted us with everything -- overall advice, asking price, repairs, improvements, staging, settlement, and everything in between. We could not have been more pleased to have them and their very capable team to be working on our behalf. We highly recommend them and assure you that you will not be disappointed!

"I have bought and/or sold a total of 6 properties with Franky. He is very responsive and knowledgeable of the market. He listens to your needs and continuously woks behind the scenes to find what you are looking for. His greatest strength, from my experience, is at the negotiation table... he's a beast. Franky's work ethic is beyond that of any other agent I have worked with in the past. Lastly, he comes with a team that will usher you through the transaction process; they make it very easy to buy/sell. I will use Franky again, and give him my highest recommendation."

"The Team has been at our side for three home purchases and two home sales in DC. They are great advisors, amazing negotiators and have become friends. They support the community they live in and provide the very definition of white glove service. Cannot recommend them highly enough."

"I worked with David Evans to sell my condo in NW DC. I would highly recommend him if you are buying or selling in DC. He is professional, kind, and knowledgeable. I appreciated his guidance and low-pressure approach throughout the process, especially as a first-time seller. He made the process seamless and easy to navigate. The condo sold the first weekend it was listed! David and his entire team were wonderful!"

Suzanne C.

"I work as a real estate developer and have worked with the team to sell a new construction condo development and a renovated townhouse. On both projects, they were tremendously helpful at all steps of the way, understood all the nuances of selling a new construction condo project, and became more involved with selecting finishes, because they had such good suggestions. The entire team is great to work with, and I highly recommend them to anyone for any type of transaction."

"Everyone involved with the Team met and exceeded my expectations from the beginning. I appreciated the level of professionalism, the responsiveness and the genuine kindness throughout the process from everyone involved. If you need a REALTOR®, I could not recommend them enough. You will be in great hands!"

"I cannot recommend Shannon enough! This is the 3rd property I have bought working with Shannon and each transaction has been seamless. For this sale, we sold and bought in the midst of a pandemic. We were able to sell our old home in an off-market deal which allowed for us to get a competitive price and keep our family safe. The service provided by the Team (and Shannon) made the entire process incredible easy and painless. I cannot recommend Shannon and her entire team highly enough."

Mandy and her Team have a deep knowledge of real estate, and are subject matter experts on buying and selling houses in DC. When I sold a coop unit they helped me with all related items (coop rules, tenant issues, repairs, staging, etc). The went to market and sold quickly at a price which made me happy. I also bought a house with them this year and they helped me in every step of the way. They are interested in helping people achieve their goals and supporting them in whichever way makes them comfortable and confident. I highly recommend their services.

I have now bought and sold two houses with MDT. Their service, business savvy and attention to detail makes them the best choice for representation on both the Seller and Buyer sides. I also very much appreciate their professional manner in the interaction with the agents on the other side of the transaction. It was always respectful and firm with my family’s best interest at heart.
