Delivering Quality Management Services To Investors

Since 2001 Mark Brower has actively owned and operated companies involved in

various real estate investing, brokerage and appraisal activities.

While pursuing an undergraduate degree in Business Economics from ASU Mark

purchased his first rental property with a partner and began renting it out. After

graduating Magna Cum Laude from ASU Mark joined Hogan & Associates and later

Commerce Realty Advisors where he brokered over $100 million in land transactions

from 2003 to 2007. Mark also formed and operated a residential appraisal company in

2006 offering services in Arizona and California.

In 2007 Mark was recruited to start the land brokerage division for Apartment Realty

Advisors’ Phoenix office. As the land market declined through 2007 and 2008 Mark saw

an increasing opportunity for effective, quality management services. By this time he

and his wife had acquired a total of 6 residential rental properties and understood the

importance of effective management.

While attending the ASU MBA program in late 2008 Mark began managing residential

real estate for clients. In 2011 Mark hired Teri Roe, a veteran property manager with

a career of managing thousands of multifamily properties for large investors. Teri has

brought a level of expertise and controls that allows the company to offer management

services unequaled by other small residential management companies in town.

Mark Brower Properties currently manages over 200 residential assets and, because

of their expertise in the industry, was selected in April 2013 as the primary property

management company for Fannie Mae foreclosed rental properties in the East Valley.

Mark is married with 4 children and has called Mesa home since 1985. He serves

actively in his church and is a member of NARPM (National Association of Residential

Property Managers).

Looking for a fresh start this New Year? Why not give your home a new and updated look with a fresh coat of paint. You’ll be surprised how different your abode can look and feel by simply updating your color scheme. Whether it’s the exterior that screams for a much-needed update to oomph your curb appeal, or a lackluster interior that could benefit from a few new hues to bring your interior spaces into the year 2015, paint is an inexpensive and easy way to modernize your home. And the number one rule of color? Have fun! Just what should homeowners look for in trendy but true new colors for 2015? Nature and neutrals still reign supreme at Sherwin-Williams, with people looking for a haven from our technology-driven, fast-paced work world. Homes have become peaceful retreats filled with a cool, neutral palette: muted tans and blues, whisper-soft grays and greens, and creams are all in the mix this year. Of course, there’s also a place for more moody colors that give a nod to today’s futuristic vibe. Think supernatural and magical tones, such as deep sea blues, heavenly aquas, terrestrial gold-yellows and browns, and even cyberspace shades of black, which all make themselves comfortable in today’s vivid palette.

Those looking for more cheerful colors need not fear. On the bright horizon are floral pinks and purples, and mellowed yellows and greens. The feel can be downright tropical. Expect to be seeing a lot of upbeat and pinky Coral Reef, as it’s the color of the year at Sherwin-Williams. Seems we’re feeling optimistic that the recession is behind us and the best is yet to come. Also look for bold, ethnic-inspired colors that reflect our collective anticipation of the upcoming Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Expect expressive takes on the primary colors, including turquoise blues, spicy yellows, and rich reds. Green is 2015’s big player over at Benjamin Moore. Guilford Green, a muted silvery-grayish green, is their color of the year. This light ethereal hue is a winner whether you’re looking for a neutral interior or exterior hue that everyone will love.

(Get ready for lots of friends to copy!) In fact, greens of all muted hues abound on the hot list, keeping the organic, neutral look alive and well. The color pros at Benjamin Moore advise going monochromatic, with different shades of the same hue flowing from one interior room to the next. Sounds calm and tranquil … perfect for a peaceful New Year.

Ever wonder about those ghost stories?

Grab your camera, your questions and

explore the Wrigley with us! Enjoy lunch

and/or a guided tour of The Wrigley.

The Wrigley, a breathtaking landmark originally

constructed in 1932 by chewing gum personality

William Wrigley Jr., was thoughtfully designed as a

50th anniversary gift to his beloved wife. Sitting at the

top of a hill, the mansion commands spectacular

360-degree views of the mountains and the city below.

Its architecture includes curated elements of Spanish,

California Monterey and Mediterranean styles.

Once sold by the Wrigley family in 1973, it changed

hands several times. In 1992, as the city of Phoenix was

planning to tear it down to make room for condos, the

late Geordie Hormel and his wife Jamie fell in love with

the property and purchased it. Together they restored

it with the intention of sharing its inherent magic with

everyone.

You like the finer things in life. The best wines.

Perfectly tailored clothes. An impeccable home.

So when it comes to your car, you want luxury, too.

But you’re also aspiring to lead an eco-friendly

lifestyle. How can you feel good about your carbon

footprint driving around in a Maserati or Porsche?

However, the alternative—today’s hybrids—aren’t

exactly hot. To help reconcile your need for style

and speed with your desire to protect the planet, we

introduce the exquisite and truly remarkable Tesla.

Named after the electrical engineer and physicist

Nikola Tesla, the American car company Tesla Motors

designs, manufactures, and sells 100 percent electric

cars. That’s right: Their cars are completely electric,

with no tailpipe, no gas tank, and zero emissions. This

is a tend-setting car that is more than comfortable in

the company of those other luxury imports.

Tesla currently offers three models. The Model S is

a sports car meets sedan electric car with three

different-grade battery options (it can travel up to 300

miles per charge!). The Model X is an SUV style family

car with “falcon-wing” doors that open up rather than

out, allowing you to park in even the tightest of spots.

Not to mention that the door-wings look amazingly

cool and futuristic. The Model X even offers a third-row

seat that is easy to step rather than crawl into. The

larger Model X offers two battery-grade options, at

different price points. And finally, there’s Tesla’s

ultimate sports car, the Roadster, the jewel in the

crown of any sports car enthusiast’s collection. Also

in the works at Tesla is a “generation three” electric

car. While the three models currently available come

with higher-end price tags you’d expect from a

cutting-edge luxury car, the newest model set to

debut in several years will retail for less than $40,000,

and could truly change the way Americans drive

forever.

Sounds amazing, right? But just how does this

super-hot car work? You can simply charge your

Tesla in your garage every night so it’s ready to roll

the next day, the perfect plan for the around-town

driver as well as the commuter. Those taking a road

trips in the Model S can take advantage of Tesla

Superchargers, charging stations strategically built

in 75 locations throughout North America. Half the

battery can be charged in as little as 20 minutes,

enough time for you to have lunch and then be on

your way. (There are already 135 Tesla SuperCharger

stations in North America alone; the number of

stations is expected to grow significantly in the next

few years.)

If you’re in the market for some hot new wheels,

why not take the Tesla for a road test? Not only

will it turn heads with its sleek design, but you’ll be

doing a good turn for the environment. And did we

mention it scored the highest safety rating in America

in all categories? So go ahead and satisfy your need

for speed … and feel good about doing it.
