Mark Lawson is a dedicated real estate professional in The Villages, where he has been turning retirement dreams into reality since joining the sales team in December 2008. Originally from the Midwest, Mark embraced the Sunshine State when his family relocated to Sarasota in 1978. A proud University of Florida alumnus, he earned a Journalism degree, served as a UF student government senator, and was an active member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity.

Before entering real estate, Mark spent 19 years in Orlando’s automotive industry, developing the skills and work ethic that now underpin his success in helping residents find the perfect home. In 2012, he expanded his expertise to include listing homes and quickly became one of the top producers with Properties of The Villages — boasting an impressive 99.98592% listing sales rate and earning accolades such as the Highest Ratio of Listings to Sales award in 2021, along with being a 12-time honors member of the prestigious Village’s Ring Club.

Mark and his wife, Julie, fully embraced The Village’s lifestyle when they built their new home in the Village of DeLuna. Their commitment to family excellence is reflected in their two children: Erin, a University of Florida Public Relations graduate, now works with Merlin Entertainment — a leading British adventure park company — handling international electronic communications and web content. Spencer, a University of Central Florida graduate with a degree in Aerospace Engineering and a degree in Spanish, is thriving as an onsite engineer at the Kennedy Space Center with Aerodyne Industries.

Besides real estate, the Lawsons are avid motor sports enthusiasts, enjoying everything from auto and motorcycle racing to photography, outdoor adventures, and travel. Mark is also passionate about giving back to the community — organizing events like the 24-hour go-kart race for Cornerstone Hospice, which raised over $9,500 despite nearly 24 hours of rain.

Mark’s commitment to excellence is evident in his personalized, one-on-one approach with residents. With over 76% of his new business coming from referrals and repeat clients, he continues to set the standard for superior service at The Villages, helping people enjoy a better, more fulfilling retirement life every day.
