Mark Arico’s Mission Statement

I will provide the best service possible for every client that I represent.

I will never tell a client what they want to hear if it is not reality. I will never enter into a client relationship where I know what is expected of me cannot be done in good faith. I will never enter into an agreement with a seller who is unrealistic with regards to proper pricing. When hired to sell a client’s home, I will always make recommendations that can increase their home’s value, or help reduce its marketing time, even if it means telling them things they don’t want to hear. I acknowledge that I may periodically lose business because I am truthful with my clients, while my competitors tell them what they want to hear to temporarily get their business. I will always remember that to have a winning relationship with my clients; we must have a mutual goal.

I will never lose sight of the fact that my honesty, loyalty, understanding, accountability, and creativity are what make me so different from the Real Estate masses. My services will always be made available to the public. I will always utilize a professional, licensed, well trained team to assist me in the complex selling process. I will prioritize my time so that I am working only with people who are buying and selling Real Estate. I will always treat parties honestly and fairly, and I will always offer my properties without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, ancestry, national origin, handicap or family status. I will always promote the best interests of my clients. I will always obtain the best price for my clients, and will always disclose all facts that might affect or influence their decisions.

I assure you that during my Real Estate career, I will always strive for excellence, and I will make a commitment to forego a portion of my life in exchange for continuing education, so that I may better serve my clients. I share this with you because I believe it is important for you to know how I feel about marketing your home. You win in life by helping others. Thank you for this opportunity.
