About Mark Meras

Mark's distinguished real estate career, initiated in 1990, brings nearly 35 years of comprehensive expertise to your service, with over two decades deeply rooted in the North Texas market. His multifaceted background encompasses appraisal, finance, brokerage, property tax assessments, and direct, hands-on property management across a spectrum of property types including single-family homes, intricate multi-family apartment complexes, and specialized medical office buildings. Mark has a strong track record of successfully representing clients on both sides of transactions, understanding the nuances involved in negotiating deals to achieve optimal outcomes.

His early career was distinguished by earning the prestigious AACI appraisal designation in Canada. He honed his skills valuing luxury residential properties and complex commercial assets before becoming a top-producing investment sales associate at Colliers International in Toronto, where he specialized in multi-family property transactions, from garden-style complexes to high-rise buildings, with values ranging from $300,000 to $30 million – consistently negotiating favorable terms for his clients. Mark also founded Meras Property Co., a respected consulting and appraisal firm. His financial acumen was further sharpened as a Commercial Mortgage Loan Originator for the Royal Bank of Canada, managing substantial commercial financing needs and a private-investor portfolio exceeding $1 billion in residential real estate.

From 2004 until the successful sale of the companies in 2016, Mark served as CEO for Patient Place and Dallas Medical Holdings. In this capacity, he not only led the operational growth of a major medical practice but also expertly managed its significant portfolio of medical office real estate, overseeing everything from negotiating leases to property development and tenant improvements, always with an eye towards maximizing asset value and operational efficiency.

Following this, in 2016, Mark co-founded Nexus Property Group and Paragon Property Co. As a principal at Nexus, he was instrumental in sponsoring and syndicating the purchase, strategic management, and disposition of multi-residential properties on behalf of accredited investors. This included overseeing all operational aspects of their multi-family portfolio, culminating in successful deals such as the sale of a 120-unit rental apartment building in 2023. His leadership at Paragon Property Co. involved setting the standards for high-quality, investor-focused property management services. This wealth of experience in complex residential and commercial management provides a robust foundation for navigating the intricacies of the single-family market.
