Mark Melsness

Mark Melsness is a Washingtonian who has lived in the South Sound area all his life. He grew up in Federal Way and Gig Harbor, serving in the US Army after graduation. Mark gained unique life experiences during his time in the military and served through the Desert Shield and Desert Storm conflicts. Returning to the area in ’91, Mark began his civilian career working in commercial sheet rock and steel stud framing. Two years later he would join his father’s residential management company. There, he began in yard work, over time rising to success as President of the company. In 2013, Mark transitioned away from this role, and with several partners, created a new company: Windermere Property Management. A few years later in 2016, Mark took full ownership of the company and recreated it into the Spinnaker Property Management that exists and thrives today.

As a property owner himself, Mark delights in caring for his client’s properties with the same level of attention that he has for his own. He credits his success to this connection he has with his clients – whether they be tenant or property owners. Mark prides Spinnaker’s ability to work seamlessly within the real estate and property management community members, even if it means referring out to others in the same line of work. Getting people into homes is the goal at the end of the day!

Now, as a 26-year veteran of property management in the South Sound area, Mark has become a fixture in local real estate and property management culture. When Mark is not working, you will find him taking road trips with his daughter or hunting and fishing with other family and friends.
