Growing up on the waterfront in Branford's Indian Neck section gave me more than just great
childhood memories—it gave me deep roots in the Connecticut shoreline communities I now
serve.
With 25 years of B2B sales success throughout Connecticut, I've built my career on a simple truth:
relationships matter more than transactions. My approach is straightforward—I listen, I care, and I work
tirelessly to understand what the right fit is you.
Whether you're searching for your first condo, dreaming of waterfront living, or ready to build new
construction, I bring intimate knowledge of the shoreline. This isn't just my territory—it's my home.
My journey here includes serving as a volunteer firefighter, volunteering at the Branford Counseling
Center, Branford Rotary, and staying active with a leadership role at my church. Today, I live in North
Branford in the very house where my wife Lynn grew up. When I'm not helping clients, you'l find me
tending my vegetable garden or cheering on UConn basketball.
The result of this relationship-first approach? Every past client has become a friend and
advocate.
I believe there are no magic words that guarantee success—just honest communication, unwavering
integrity, and transparent guidance through every step of your real estate journey.

Testimonials

Mark McElrath has done a great job for our family and is a pleasure to work with!

James Lehner

Olivia Jardine

Mark is a hard worker, and great person to have as a friend and agent.

K Scaringe, Jane Russo Rose Selnau

Mark McElrath was exceptional. He was incredible at listening and understanding my needs and what I wanted in a property. It was a rough market, but he educated me on all of the different ways to make my offer strong. He was accessible and never made me feel like a burden with all of my questions. The Sotherby system was also easy to use. I highly recommend!

Angela Ruggiero

Coming in as a Realtor from another state, I wouldn't reccomend anyone aside from Mark in his area of expertise in Connecticut. He worked with one of my clients moving to Connecticut from out of state. Mark had consistent professionalism from start to finish. His wealth of knowledge and contacts in the industry we're extremely helpful for a out of state buyer. Mark continually kept in touch with us and was hands on for every appointment. If you are looking for a realtor, I would not hesitate in selecting Mark!

Danielle Riggio, Real Estate Agent

Everyone we have met and worked with has been excellent from start to finish.

Kathryn Scaringe

Mark McElrath was an excellent agent. He listened to our wants and needs regarding our new home, put together a comprehensive list of options for us and guided us through out the process. He was invaluable in our home search and purchase journey. We are very grateful!

Elena Senseman

Mark was just the realtor we had been looking for. He was professional, and expertly helped us find just the right house for us . We never felt pressured. He went out of his way to make our move to CT from NH as flawless as possible.

Susan Johnson Leslie Orsini

Started working with this Agency a year ago and they have been a pleasure to work with. Most recently worked with Mark, who was great…very competetent, detail oriented, prompt and diligent. Hope to work with all of them again in the near future.

K Scaringe, R Salnau J Ranno

Mark was a pleasure to work with! He has a great personality, "down to earth," and was readily available whenever I sent a property I wanted to look at. He was always timely. While he is not an inspector, he has a good eye for things to look for while walking through a property and was helpful with pointing things out without being pushy or making me feel too swayed about making a decision on a house. As a first time home buyer, he made me feel comfortable with the process of going through houses and was knowledgeable with questions I had throughout the process. I would definitely work with him again!

Samantha K.

I found Mark by accident but very fortunate I did and wouldn’t have wanted to work w anyone else . This was my first time buying a home. In an insanely competitive market he was able to find me a home in a little less than a week of working together. I didn’t know what to expect buying for the first time but he was there through the entire process , always available by phone when I needed him or had questions . Even went as far to make himself available to meet w the municipality to tie up loose ends before my closing . His referral for mortgage lender was fantastic as well. When I am in the market again someday I will absolutely be working with him. I can’t thank him enough and I highly recommend working with him to anyone who is in the market . Very personal experience from start to finish and for a large purchase like this you need a personal relationship. Well done Mark , thanks again for everything .

Alex

The agent that assisted me in my search for finding a new place to live was very helpful . Once we found a new home he sold my house within a short time & assisted me every step of the way , I would highly recommend Mark McElrath to anyone who wants help in selling &or purchasing a home.

Vincent Barone

I never thought looking for houses and selling my much loved house where I had lived for 34 years would turn out to be such a good time! Mark and I clicked immediately! I have had other interactions with other agents and never enjoyed the experience and stopped looking, I actually missed him and the icing on the cake was after I moved into my new smaller but cozy house, Mark showed up bringing a beautiful violet plant. I can't ever imagine moving again, but if I did, I would follow Mark wherever he was working!

Jill Marcus

Mark was very professional and helpful. He showed us many houses, and his insight on potential structural and physical issues was excellent. Mark was a pleasure to work with!

Vince S

We will highly recommend Michelle and Mark McElrath to anyone we know looking to buy or sell. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have Michelle and Mark on our "team"."Edward & Lori Rogers

Hi Mark, I wanted to send you a testimonial for your profile, but I couldn't find any submission form--hopefully you can submit it for me in the right place. Feel free to use my name as a reference. It is important for you to know that though our house search ended rather precipitously earlier this week, Ilya and I appreciated all of your help immensely. We didn't find anything that we liked enough to buy at this time. But your assistance--proffered every step of the way and with such enthusiasm and sincerity--was like a balm during an extremely stressful time. You went the extra mile in everything: scheduling multiple showings at the drop of a hat; taking the time to walk us through each property; offering your frank and unbiased opinions; even driving us to appointments after I locked my keys in the car! You were definitely the best part of our recent home search. Thanks again for everything, and best of luck in the future! Rebecca Guernsey
