In 1994 Mark left to join Gerard McAfee as a partner in the newly formed Company of McAfee Properties and Mortgages based in Coleraine. The Company grew steadily over the years opening Residential Sales Offices in Ballymoney, Ballycastle, Ballymena, Portstewart, Portrush and Antrim as well as Commercial Offices in Coleraine and Ballymena and a Lettings Department, Property Management Department, Agricultural Department, Land and New Home Department, Mortgages and Financial Services Department and a specialist Surveying Professional Services Office.
In addition to running the Coleraine Office, Mark was also responsible for Personnel and Compliance issues within the Group, Point of Contact with the Office of Fair Trading and Property Ombudsmen as well as Internal Auditor for the Survey Departments ISO 2000 compliance.
As the Property market crashed through late 2007 and 2008 it obvious that the larger Company was no longer viable and after organising the transfer of employees and sadly the redundancy of others, Mark and his wife took over the Coleraine Branch of the old Company and began trading as McAfee Coleraine.
