New Business in Town and Special Ribbon Cutting for Business Celebrating 90 Years

Please join us in welcoming Crown Mark Real Estate Group to the Montrose area.   Ara Markari is the broker/owner of Crown Mark Real Estate Group. He has been a Glendale resident nearly all of his life. Ever since he was young, he was intrigued by real estate. He grew up with several family members working in the industry whether in lending, building or real estate sales. As time went on, Ara learned his ambition and passion for real estate was not narrowed to one specific facet, but more for real estate in general. Ara went on to study at the University of Southern California and received his degree.

His company specializes in all aspects of the real estate market. Here is what Ara has to say: “Crown Mark Real Estate Group is a full-service real estate company based in Southern California. Our unique structure allows us to utilize our unparalleled skills to provide excellent and effective commercial and residential real estate services in the areas of brokerage, property management and development. We have two office locations; one is the new location in Montrose at 4146 Ocean View Blvd. and the other one is in Pasadena at 3030 E. Colorado Blvd. Suite 212.
