Mark Gordon — Candidate for CAR 2027 President-Elect

Mark Gordon was first elected to Vail Town Council in 2005. Leadership across complex organizations at multiple levels has defined his career. Since joining the real estate profession in 2008, he has built one of the more unusual leadership records in Colorado organized real estate, serving simultaneously at the local, state, and national level for much of his career. He is the Immediate Past President of the Vail Board of Realtors, a 2026 NAR Director, and currently serves as the 2026 Chair of the CAR Insight Advisory Committee.

Mark’s path to state and national leadership ran through the RRC/CRS. He served two terms as President of Colorado RRC/CRS and has remained active in the organization since. He also served two years on the RRC/CRS National Board of Directors, experience that gave him a deep understanding of how designations, education, and member value connect at every level of organized real estate.

That background informs everything he does at CAR. Under Mark’s leadership, the Strategic Thinking Committee was reimagined into the Insight Advisory Committee, a working think tank that is actively shaping how CAR understands and responds to the forces changing our industry. It is the clearest example of what his presidency would look like: listening carefully, moving decisively, and building things that actually work.

Mark believes organized real estate is more important now than at any point in his career. He also believes CAR has to earn that relevance every day. As 2027 President-Elect, he would bring to the full organization what he has already demonstrated in practice: the courage to rethink what needs rethinking, and the judgment to leave alone what does not.

He is a broker-owner based in the Vail Valley. He answers his phone.

My path into real estate was intentional from the start. After earning a BA in Advertising from California State University Fullerton and an MBA in Marketing from National University in San Diego, I spent the first 15 years of my career on the vendor side — working in corporate sales for two large-scale real estate services companies, rising through Regional Manager, Director, and Vice President roles on both coasts. That foundation gave me a perspective most Realtors don’t have: I understood the industry from the inside out before I ever held a license. In 2012, I made a deliberate move to Colorado Springs to become a Realtor and open my own brokerage, The Springs Team.

What started as a solo venture has grown into a team of 10 full-time members. That growth has been one of the most meaningful developments of my career, not just as a business milestone, but because of what it’s made possible. With a capable, trusted team in place, I’ve been able to step back from the day-to-day and dedicate real time and energy to the Association work I do now.

I currently serve as President of elevate MLS and as a Director on the Colorado Association of Realtors and serve on multiple committees, including LPC, which is where my passion truly lives. Whether it’s lobbying at the Capitol, engaging with policymakers, or working alongside fellow Realtors to protect property rights across Colorado, this is the work I show up for. I invest in RPAC and believe deeply that the strength of our industry depends on how actively we engage in the political process.

Serving as your SE Regional Vice President is a natural next step and one I would be honored to be selected for.
