Ep 260: Part-Time Start To Full-Time Success: Dennis Mark’s Real Estate Journey

“I had tripled my salary with the sewer department in real estate, said to myself, if I don't try this now full-time, I'll never do it."

 

Episode 260 of The Smart Agents Podcast features New Jersey realtor Dennis Mark Interdonato, who shares how his journey from the family construction business and military service to real estate shaped the way he serves clients today. Starting real estate part-time as a way to make extra cash, Dennis quickly outperformed full-time agents, grossing $165,000 in his first year as a full-time realtor.

Dennis blends hands-on construction knowledge, leadership skills gained as a drill sergeant and a people-first philosophy to deliver a true luxury experience at any price point. Today, he’s carving out niches in divorce real estate and high-touch client service while growing his presence through social media and community engagement.
