Brokers first, managers always

Mark Steward is a seasoned real estate professional with more than 13 years in the North Carolina market and a reputation built on excellence, integrity, and deep commitment to his clients.

Before real estate, Mark spent three decades in international travel and luxury hospitality as a Caribbean hotel executive, developing villas and pioneering villa sales strategies across the region. His work in resort development and marketing introduced travelers and investors to high-end island properties.

That background carries into his real estate work: knowledge of high-end properties, a global client network, and an understanding of lifestyle branding, whether he is working with luxury buyers, international investors, or local homeowners. His sales range from first homes to a record-setting $5 million estate in Chapel Hill.

Beyond the office, Mark is a longtime advocate for the arts and education in the Triangle: nine years on the board of United Arts of Wake County, eight seasons on stage in Theatre in the Park's A Christmas Carol, and a decade with the Miss North Carolina Scholarship Organization's state committee.

Alex holds a Master of Management Studies from Duke University's Fuqua School of Business and a B.A. in Economics and Entrepreneurship from UNC-Chapel Hill.

His work centers on real estate investment analysis, consulting, and financial modeling. He builds rental-yield, cash-flow, and appreciation models for individual properties and for portfolios spanning different property types and markets.

For domestic and international investors, he creates and manages client portfolios, using comps, absorption data, and rate environments to inform acquisition decisions and long-term positioning. The aim across all of it is the same: using real estate to build long-term wealth.

A licensed North Carolina broker, Alex spearheaded Domus Consulting, the team's investment consulting practice, and applies the same analysis to the properties the team buys, sells, and manages.
