Who We Are Keith and Howard started Round Table Realty in 2010 after a career in new construction sales. While interviewing with several brokerages in town, they both came away feeling like the industry had lost its heart. Getting the sale seemed more important than serving clients. So they took a leap of faith and started their own brokerage with one mission in mind - putting People Before Property. They call it heart-first realty.
And that just seems like the way it should be, doesn't it?

Mark Carroll Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Mark is disappointed to announce that he only lived there until he was 2 years old! He followed a traditional educational track until college when he was offered an opportunity to work with a large grocery chain. Mark prided himself on putting his customers first, but as he worked his way up the corporate ladder he found that he was less and less able to ensure customer satisfaction over business profitability, and in a bold move, he chose to walk away. Mark decided on Real Estate because he wanted to work with people again. He delivers personalized service to his clients, focusing on their needs during what is often the most important financial decision they will ever make. He will gladly steer someone away from a home he knows will leave them financially strapped, or one that doesn't check off all their needs, if he believes it's in their best interest. That's why he chose Round Table Realty as his brokerage: he truly embodies the idea of "People Before Property."
Today Mark is married to his beautiful wife and together they have two bright and awesome daughters. If he isn't spending time with them, he is on his boat before dawn to fish and relish in the sights that nature paints every day.

OurBuyers
90% of people in the market for a new home use the internet to search for the perfect place!
Round Table Realty Realtors can save you time by improving your internet searches so you aren't pouring over listing details that all begin to look the same.
What the internet can't do is tell you when a home smells musty, when an electrical panel needs to be replaced, whether the finishings were properly installed, and when evidence of a past water leak can be found under the guest bathroom sink. Our Realtors are not home inspectors, but they can give you visual clues as to the health of a home before you put in an offer.

OurBuyers Lending Partnerships In most cases, you should begin to secure financing before you even start home-shopping! Luckily, we've spent years building relationships with lenders who believe the client comes first. We can lead you in the right direction.
Insurance Partnerships Did you know home owners insurance alone doesn't cover flood damage? Did you know certain breeds of dogs aren't covered under a traditional policy, either? We work with the best of the best in the insurance world to ensure your home is covered long after we close.
We Hold Escrow People Before Property means holding your binder (the money you put down when your purchase offer is accepted). Should the sale fall through, the seller could fight to keep that money. Holding your escrow means you have the option to get that money back for free via the state. No lawyers.

OurSellers Pricing your home Our Realtors will help you price your home according to market analysis. We want your home to sell at the right price for you.

And depending on your home's individual needs, we have a lot of other tricks up our sleeve to ensure the word is out that your home is on the market.
OurSellers Listing Videos Some homes require special attention. Maybe they're unique, they've been on the market with another agency, or the sellers can't show the home as often as they'd like. We have the capability to create a digital, 2-minute narrated walk-through of your home to give potential buyers a sneak peak without making a physical visit.
OurSellers Professional Photography Every Round Table Realty home listing is professionally photographed and uploaded to the three major online home-browsing websites. A beautiful picture truly can sell a home.
Home Staging The better your home looks, the faster it sells. We have access to incredible home stagers (at affordable prices, too!) who will make your home look elegant, simple, and allow potential buyers to see themselves in it. We can even provide you a digital home staging with computer generated pictures as a less expensive alternative.

Mark is an exceptional real estate professional! He worked with me for months and went out of his way to accommodate me! I was a difficult case as a first time home buyer and buying from out of state but Mark is the best! He would work well outside of business hours for me to offset the several hour time difference. There was never a time that I had a concern or question that Mark didn't know the answer to or find the answer for me."
"Mark was very professional, a real down to earth type of guy. We hit it off immediately. He was very knowledgeable in every aspect of home buying . He checked everything out as if he was buying the home for himself or a family member. I was very impressed by his willingness to make sure I was completely satisfied. I would absolutely recommend anyone looking for a home or some property to contact Mark."
"Mark was a wonderful realtor to work with. He was very knowledgable about the market and what it would take to get our home sold. The listing of our home looked amazing!"
"Mark is very personable, very nice we enjoyed working with him. Mark listened to all our needs and was available when ever we needed him. He found us our forever home. We will definitely recommend him to our family and friends."
