Our Associate

Markus was born in Switzerland. After successfully completing his education as a licensed Swiss Attorney-at-Law as well as a Masters-of-Law degree from the University of San Diego in 1996, Markus decided to switch gears and pursue a career in Real Estate here in San Diego. Markus realized how the internet and improvements in the area of home office technology have made the “brick & mortar” Real Estate office less and less appealing and satisfying. That is why Markus decided to open up a Brokerage that offers his agents more flexibility, freedom and much higher commission splits.

The skills and tools Markus acquired during his previous legal career are now applied and passed on to each of the agents at Pacific Real Estate Center:

Consistent guidance, ongoing instructions and education on contract knowledge and interpretation, problem solving assistance during tough negotiations or escrows, creative marketing ideas, and the insistence that every Agent at Pacific Real Estate Center perform according to the highest ethical standards, are what makes our team unique and successful.

Here is what Markus says about our unique approach to Real Estate:

Our approach to Real Estate is different and unique. Any agent can list a home and put up a sign. However, according to Markus, "we at Pacific Real Estate Center believe that every home tells a story, and thus it deserves more than simply following the same marketing pattern. For that reason, our agents pride themselves in our marketing strategy which is always uniquely tailored to each property with the goal of revealing the very best features of that home. Using creative marketing ideas, thinking outside the box, and laying out a complete strategy as to how to best approach the sale of a home in light of the clients’ circumstances, is what we do best."
