Hi! I’m your North Idaho real estate agent and neighbor, Mark Griswold. I’ve been helping people buy and sell homes since 2017 and am also a real estate investor who has owned rental properties and overseen extensive remodels.
Originally from Seattle, my family and I moved to Coeur d’Alene in 2020 for a slower pace and small-town feel. In addition to real estate, I am an active member/volunteer of St. Pius X Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus, my sons’ Scouting Pack/Troop, and the North Idaho Writers League. I enjoy the outdoors, travel, skiing, hiking, and writing.
While I delight in helping all sorts of people with their real estate transactions, I especially enjoy welcoming others, like myself, who are moving to the area from somewhere else and finding them not only their new home, but a new community of friends and activities to take part in.
When guiding you through a purchase or sale, you’ll never hear the words “That’s not my job.” or “That’s not my fault.” While there are some things that I am not qualified to do (home inspections, professional photos, or mortgages, for example), I do have a group of trusted experts I can consult with to get the job done. And when issues arise, I will work diligently to resolve them.
The decisions are ultimately yours to make, but I will be alongside you every step of the way to answer questions and give my opinion based on my years of experience both during the transaction and any time after it closes.
More helpful information on the home buying and selling process (as well as North Idaho) is available on the blog or in my book, The Incomplete Guide to Buying and Selling Your Home. (It’s “incomplete” because every transaction is unique, and no book can cover every potential question or issue that may arise.)

Partners

I can help you find your next home and get your current one ready for the market, but I also rely on several other professionals to help your transaction run smoothly from the first call to the moment you turn the key on your new home and beyond.
Here is a list of people without whom I could never make it happen.
