Selling a significant home should feel effortless. The engineering behind that is my job.
I'm Mark Corbo – a broker for twenty years and a King City resident since 1997. My clients get a written strategy before any commitment, evidence behind every recommendation, and me personally – not an assistant – at every negotiation.
Twenty years at the table
Licensed since 2006, across residential, institutional, building and development work. Trained in negotiation at Harvard's Program on Negotiation. Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist.
At home with significant properties
Estate lots, acreage, architecturally distinct homes – and the quiet details that decide their value: construction quality, zoning, conservation, severance potential. I've spent my career with properties like these, and with the people who own them.
Your neighbour, not a visitor
I've lived in King City since 1997. The market data I publish about this township is analysis I run myself – not a re-typed board release.
In this market, the difference between sold and stale is preparation.
Roughly half the homes that list here don't sell on their first attempt. The difference is rarely the house. Here is my process, in writing, before you ever meet me.
The Private Market Assessment
Before anything else, I analyze your property – comparable evidence, competing inventory, buyer demand in your band, and what I'd do if it were mine. Yours in writing, obligation-free.
A written strategy
At your home: positioning, the preparation worth doing (and not doing), pricing scenarios, and a marketing calendar with dates. You decide with evidence in hand.
An engineered launch
Staging, trades, photography, video, floor plans – coordinated by me, ready on day one. No soft starts. Then a written report every Thursday, without you asking.
Negotiation, personally
Every offer arrives with a full analysis – terms, risks, evidence, scenarios. Then I negotiate. And if the strategy isn't working, we say so: built-in reviews at day 14 and 30.

What is your property actually worth right now?
Online estimates miss on estate and village properties here – often by hundreds of thousands – because algorithms can't read a two-acre lot, a conservation setback, or a renovation's real quality. So I don't use one. I prepare your assessment personally – and if it isn't a smart moment to sell, I'll tell you that too.
Once a month: what the data actually says about King City, Nobleton, and the township's land and rural properties. Written by me, from the numbers. Free, no listings spam.
