Mark Denholm
Managing Director
Mark joined ProEquity Asset Management to help launch the firm’s investment sales brokerage business where he also plays a hands-on role representing both buyers and sellers across all asset types. In addition, he assists in underwriting national investment opportunities.
Mark began his real estate career as a retail investment sales associate at CB Richard Ellis, and he hit the ground running earing Rookie of the Year honors. From there he went on to co-found Core Commercial in 2008, a retail investment and leasing firm. He was responsible for the firm’s day-to-day operations, as well as servicing the needs of his clients. Mark’s initial focus was on retail investment sales and acquisitions in Northern California and Nevada but expanded to also include multi-family, office and nationwide single tenant net leased assets. Mark has regularly been recognized as one of the top investment sales brokers by the Associate of Commercial Real Estate (ACRE). He credits that success to persistence, responsiveness, compassion, humility and always putting client’s needs above all else.
Mark graduated from Cal Poly, SLO in 1991 with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. While there, he was an active student leader and founding member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. He later earned an MBA from the University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business with an emphasis in Finance and Real Estate, and he is an active member of the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) and a Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM).
He and his wife Judi, now empty nesters, have three children. Mark coached his two boys throughout their baseball careers until they began college and also served on the board for the Oak Ridge High School Foundation, where he helped to raise more than $700,000 for curriculum and campus improvements. During their free time, Mark and Judi enjoy riding their e-bikes, following their boys around the country as they continue their baseball careers, and supporting their daughter who is currently studying nursing.
