The Numbers Don't Lie
The Capital Region market stays competitive heading into 2026. Here's what the latest MLS data shows.
Know Your Neighborhood
From historic brownstones in Albany to quiet suburban streets in Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, Troy, Clifton Park, and Colonie, the Capital Region has a home for every lifestyle.
Tree-lined streets, classic architecture, and a tight-knit community. Albany's most desirable residential neighborhood.
Albany's heartbeat. Brownstones, restaurants, nightlife, and the Capitol steps away.
The Capital City's center of energy: government, business, dining, and a growing residential scene right in the heart of it all.
Rolling hills, beautiful views, and a slower pace of life, all within easy reach of Albany's downtown and major highways.
Serving the Entire Capital Region
Beyond Albany, Mark serves buyers and sellers across Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, Troy, Clifton Park, Colonie, Niskayuna, Bethlehem, Delmar, and communities throughout Albany, Saratoga, Schenectady, and Rensselaer counties.

I've called the Capital Region home for over 35 years. I know these neighborhoods the way only a local can: the streets, the schools, the hidden gems, the blocks that are quietly becoming the next big thing. This area isn't just where I work. It's where I raised my family.
I spent years in IT, helping clients solve complex problems and making sure nothing fell through the cracks. When I brought that same energy to real estate, it clicked. The attention to detail, the communication, the drive to get things right. It all carried over. Today I'm proud to be part of the trusted team at Vera Cohen Realty, where I help buyers and sellers navigate every step with confidence.
When I'm not showing homes or negotiating deals, you'll probably find me behind the turntables. I DJ on the side and there's nothing better than watching a room full of people light up to a great track. I'm also a diehard Giants fan who lives for game-day Sundays with family and friends. But above all, my greatest passion is helping my clients reach their goals, whether that's unlocking the front door of a first home or maximizing the equity they've built over decades.

Outstanding! From the moment he started working with me, he moved swiftly. I could not have asked for better service and advice. 10 stars!
Excellent realtor, clearly knows the market and the details of living in the Albany area. Took several weekends to show houses and was prompt with answers to our questions. Great experience.
Such an amazing experience! Mark is so knowledgeable yet calm, even when we hit a few bumps in the process of our sale. He always made sure we were well aware of everything going on so there were never any surprises. This was our first time selling a home, and was pretty nerve-wracking at first admittedly, but Mark made sure everything went so smoothly for us. If you're ever in the market to buy or sell, you definitely need Mark in your corner!
