Her extensive Southern California real estate experience spans all aspects of home sales transactions, from opening escrow to her specialty—the last and most critical step in closing—the final recording.

We fully entrust Barbara with triple-checking every last detail of Shandrow Group’s closing transactions and contracts for accuracy, which she personally, carefully oversees right down to every last dotted ‘i” and crossed “t.”

Her breadth of knowledge on foreclosed upon properties for sale includes one-on-one experience negotiating with key bank asset managers and home loan servicers.

In addition to working directly with top-tier banks, escrow and lender personnel, Barbara also works seamlessly with ShandrowGroup buyers and sellers, as well as property inspection and appraisal personnel. She also quotes Broker Price Options (BPOs) and assists with Shandrow Group’s fast-growing array of short sales (REOs) transactions.

Barbara’s longtime work in Southern California residential and commercial real estate sales affords her an insider edge within several flourishing Los Angeles and Orange County communities, including: Long Beach, Signal Hill, Paramount, Lakewood, Downey, Gardena, Placentia, El Segundo and many more.

We’re proud to call Barbara a critical contributor to the Shandrow Group team!

Mark Shandrow, a longtime Long Beach resident, is a real estate broker and the sole founder of Shandrow Group, a local, grassroots boutique real estate operation that prides itself on providing superior local real estate services to Southern California home buyers and sellers, as well as several financial institutions.

He recently opened his up-and-coming real estate brokerage in the vibrant Bixby Knolls business corridor, only a short walk from his family’s home in neighboring historic California Heights. Feel free to stop by and check out Shandrow Group’s new offices at 3970 Atlantic Ave,. Suite 210, on the southeast corner of Marshal and Atlantic Avenues.

Shandrow Group’s fast-growing business also provides top-tier asset management services for several well-known national home lenders and servicers.

Mark envisions a forward-thinking real estate firm that withstands and rises above the constantly changing tides in real estate, especially amidst the recent wave of foreclosures, short sales, REOs and distressed properties, all of which he and his professional team are trained and experienced experts in effectively managing, marketing and selling on behalf of owners, investors and banks.

In 2004, Mark Shandrow joined Keller Williams as a new real estate agent.  He gravitated toward the company’s strong learning-based environment.  There he quickly gained accolades as a top salesperson-earning “Rookie of the Year” and many top sales productions awards.  While at Keller Williams Mark participated in the company leadership by serving on the Agent Leadership Council, instructed courses and mentored newer agents.

As the national and local Southern California real estate market quickly changed from a hot seller’s market to a foreclosures market, Mark quickly responded by dramatically changing his business strategy. He rapidly became Keller Williams’ top foreclosure agent, intimately working with many of the country’s top asset management firms, including Ocwen Asset Management, Single Source Properties, Aurora Home Loans and Green River Capital. Recognizing the pressing need for a specialized real estate brokerage service that also can offer professional rental services, Mark opened his brokerage, The Shandrow Group, Inc., in 2008.

Mark has extensive, first-hand experience in Southern California real estate from all perspectives—as a longtime buyer, seller and property manager, and eventually as a licensed Realtor and real estate broker. His breadth of knowledge lends him a uniquely informed insider edge in the local real estate market.

At the age of 27 Mark bought, renovated and began managing his first investment property in Long Beach. Since then, Mark has successfully invested in real estate and managed properties for 10-plus years. He owns some 20 rental units in Long Beach, California and out-of-state.

In 1990, Mark earned a Bachelor of Art’s Degree in Economics from the University of New Hampshire’s distinguished Whittemore School of Business and Economics. Before becoming a Realtor and real estate broker, Mark co-founded a national non-profit organization called Bikestation®. As the executive director of Bikestation®, he traveled the country pioneering the concept of creating livable communities through increased bicycle and public transportation usage. The marketing and public relations skills that Mark gained in the non-profit arena are instrumental in continuing to build his client-focused real estate business.

While working for Bikestation®, on weekends and evenings Mark occupied his spare time buying, remodeling and selling real estate as an investor. Eventually he realized that real estate was his true passion. Mark’s intimate knowledge of the ins and outs of Los Angeles and Orange County area real estate — stemming from his ongoing hands-on experiences with his own investment properties  — have refined and deepened his knowledge of the Southern California market.

You can reach Mark at 562-364-9505, ext. 100 or email him at mark@ShandrowGroup.com.
