Send me your address. I’ll run the numbers.
Before you decide anything, I’ll put together a detailed report on your house: the sales I’d compare it to, the price I’d list it at and why, how I’d market it, and a calculator for what you’d walk away with after costs.
It will be online, at a private link, so you can read it on your own time and share it with whoever’s helping you decide. For a south metro house it usually takes me about a day, and the report will be yours to keep whether or not you hire me.
What listing with me includes
- Getting ready
- A staging consult, then professional photos and aerials. Every photo in the MLS gets a written caption.
- Getting it seen
- A page for your house on this site, plus print, radio, online and social advertising.
- While it's listed
- A written update every week with your showings, online views and buyer feedback.
- Offer to closing
- We go through every offer together. I negotiate, and I keep the deadlines on track through closing.
Some houses I’ll tell you not to buy.
If the price is off, or something about a house worries me, I’ll tell you before you write an offer. Sometimes that means we keep looking.
When it is the right house, I push on price. One from this year, a new build in Apple Valley that had been on the market for more than a year:
| Builder’s original price | $467,990 |
|---|---|
| Asking price when we made our offer | $439,990 |
| What my buyers paid, June 2026 | $425,000 |
Data believed to be accurate but should be independently verified.

Moved to this community as total strangers. We asked locals who was the most knowledgeable, effective and trustworthy realtor. They said, “Oh, that would be Mary Gores.” Since then Mary and Mark have handled 5 transactions for our family, ranging from $300K to $1MM. We simply could not be happier or more satisfied. … Over the last 50 years we have had many transactions in several communities; none ever better than the Gores Team.
Mark did a great job of communicating market conditions and helping us get the most value for our home. He was very responsive and helpful throughout the process.
I highly recommend Mark to represent you in the market, buying or selling. Mark was available when questions arose and helped us sell our townhome in a very depressed market. We will use him again in the future.

We have had the pleasure of working with The Gores Team on both a listing sale and two purchase transactions. Their ability to bring our transactions to a successful closing was never in doubt. If you are looking for truthful Realtors who will honestly work on your behalf, then you must choose The Gores Team. We did!!
Fast response, did an excellent job advertising the home, had a showing and sold the property before ever getting a “for sale” sign out front. Everything went very smoothly. The Gores Team answered all our questions quickly, provided sound advice on preparing to sell, handled the details of the sale and closing, etc. We would strongly recommend this team.
We have owned 10 houses in our lifetimes and the Gores team provided the most professional and expert purchasing experience to date. They listened closely to our needs and delivered exactly what we were after in rapid fashion.
Mary and Mark were extremely helpful in guiding us through the sale of our home. They prepared a great listing with pictures and brochures. … We were very pleased with the entire process and the outcome. We would highly recommend the Gores Team to anyone looking to sell their home or buy.
Prior Lake since 1986.
University of Iowa for college, then right back. My kids are coming up through the Prior Lake schools. I can tell you which parks have the best sledding hills and which places do a steak right.
My mom, Mary Gores, was a real estate agent here from 1986 until she retired in 2022. I joined her in 2004, and we worked together as the Gores Team for 18 years.
When I’m not doing real estate, it’s some mix of pickleball, pinball, cooking, and the boat.
I work out of the RE/MAX Advantage Plus office on Highway 13 in Savage, with the Minnesota Real Estate Team. I also build websites for fun. This one’s mine.
