What Materia is all about
A Different Perspective on Real Estate
Mark Brennan
Founder | Licensed Broker | Certified Appraiser
Before becoming a real estate broker, Mark spent years professionally valuing residential properties throughout Central Oregon. Working with homeowners, lenders, attorneys, builders, and investors gave him a deep understanding of how markets behave, what truly drives value, and why the best real estate decisions are built on objective information rather than assumptions.
That experience became the foundation for Materia Properties.
Mark founded Materia with the belief that exceptional real estate outcomes begin long before an offer is written or a listing goes live. They begin with understanding value, identifying opportunities, and making informed decisions. His role isn't simply to facilitate a transaction—it's to help clients make better decisions that lead to stronger outcomes through thoughtful strategy, objective advice, and skilled negotiation.
Today, Mark combines his valuation background with modern brokerage services through eXp Realty, helping buyers, sellers, builders, and investors navigate Central Oregon with confidence.
Outside of work, Mark and his wife enjoy everything Central Oregon has to offer—from mountain biking and snowboarding to exploring Bend's local restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops. Staying connected to the community helps him better understand not only the local market, but the lifestyle that makes Central Oregon such a special place to call home.
“Mark’s deep industry knowledge in the local Bend market really sets him apart from other agents. ”
The word Materia represents the materials, structure, and foundation that every home is built upon. It also reflects our belief that informed decisions are built on a strong foundation of knowledge, analysis, and local expertise.
