WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS,& WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED.

WE ARE SWVA.

While many of the Valley's brokerages are headquartered hundreds of miles away, we've been here the whole time, breaking ground, building trust, and quietly developing a reputation for real estate thought leadership. And as the region's largest locally-owned brokerage, we're mighty proud of our independence and local roots.

WE KNOW OUR STUFF.

It takes time to build deep market intelligence, and our years in business have helped us cultivate the smarts it takes to get the job done. At MKB, our clients get the most rock-solid market knowledge you'll find in Roanoke.

WE RUN ON TRUST.

In fact, we've spent a half-century building it, one transaction at a time.

WE'VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY.

Founded by three youngsters back in '73, our brokerage has been modernizing the industry since Travolta got his groove on in Saturday Night Fever. And as market leaders, we commit to keep bringing the latest leading-edge thinking to Roanoke Valley real estate—simple as that.

OUR HISTORY

In 1973, Lee Mastin, Betty Kirkland, and Chan Bolling decided to launch a different kind of real-estate company —one founded on honesty, reliable service and on supporting the whole community. Fifty years later, there are new faces at the helm, but the commitment to locally-focused values remains the same. All six owners - Kit, Steve, Mary, Henry, Curtis and Ed - make home right here in SWVA.
