Leadership

Mark Skilling leads Global Discoveries Lender Services with the industry experience, technical know-how and customer service sophistication that comes with decades of experience as a Manager, Real Estate Broker and Attorney. Mark began his career as a litigator for a prominent Bay Area law firm where he became a partner and handled numerous real estate related matters. After many years in our legal system, Mark shifted focus to real estate deal making and joined nationally recognized Lee & Associates where here became a shareholder. At Lee & Associates, Mark built a leading Net Leased Investment firm and closed nearly half a billion dollars in leveraged commercial transaction working closely with lenders all the while. Mark recognized early the opportunities available in the growing distressed real estate market as lenders were forced to foreclose or restructure debt during the Great Recession and formed a new company to buy and sell distressed real estate. His successes in the foreclosure market led Mark to serve as Chief Operating Officer for ForeclosureRadar (now PropertyRadar), the leading source for foreclosure data in the Western States. Through Mark’s work re-positioning distressed real estate, he saw the opportunity to make a difference in the brokerage community by founding Accurate Real Estate Services, Inc. The breadth and depth of these professional experiences have provided a solid foundation for his current responsibilities leading Global Discoveries Lender Services.
