Helping real estate investors understand their options when it's time to sell — clearly, honestly, and education-first.
Who I Am
A career built on education first.
As Senior Vice President of Investments with 1031 Capital Solutions, Mark DiMercurio helps real estate investors understand their options when it's time to sell — and, when it fits their goals, how to move from active landlording to passive, professionally managed real estate through a 1031 exchange into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST). Across every chapter of his career, the throughline has stayed the same: education before any decision.
A graduate of California State University, Sacramento with a B.S. in Business, Mark began his career advising high-net-worth family businesses on estate planning — helping families (often with $5 million or more in assets) build plans to transition ownership of their businesses and property to their children. That work shaped how he still approaches every client: start with the family's goals, then build the strategy around them.
In 1993, Mark entered the mortgage industry, where he focused on educating home buyers on how to use real estate leverage to build a portfolio. In 1999 he founded Delta Lending Group, which grew to four offices and 55 loan originators at its peak. Delta Lending continues to operate today, with Mark as a passive owner.
He bought his first rental property in 1995 and has bought and sold many investment properties in the years since. Along the way he has trained thousands of Realtors and clients on 1031 exchanges and on using rental real estate to create tax advantages and passive income. After completing his own first DST, Mark realized he could help others make that same transition from active to passive ownership — and earned his Series 22 and Series 63 securities registrations in order to offer DSTs.
Mark also holds a California Real Estate Broker license (DRE #01150210) and a licensed Loan Originator registration (NMLS #24777).
Away from work, Mark enjoys traveling with his wife, Donna, and their Golden Retriever, Gatsby — and any chance he gets to spend time with his grandsons.
