Mark Philhower
Principal Broker & Owner
Before becoming a co-owner of Full Circle, Mark spent years in California developing his real estate chops in Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. Mark did it the hard way. As a young father looking to provide for his family, Mark worked the night shift at UPS and practiced real estate by day. Needless to say, Mark isn’t afraid of hard work and does what it takes to get the job done. Mark has an uncanny ability to find solutions when others are ready to pack it in. You’ll find Mark asking questions, doing research and just plain outworking others to find the best, fairest and cleanest solution for all involved. True to his can-do attitude, Mark moved to Ashland in 2005 to find a great community and environment to raise his three daughters even though he didn’t know a soul in town. A family man to the core, you’ll see him exploring the trails with his daughters (when they are in town) and his sweet dog Sadie.

“Mark, I want to thank you for all the help, expertise and kindness you showed us in selling and buying our homes. The complexity of both transactions happening at once took a great agent to guide the process to a successful conclusion. Over the years my wife and I have bought numerous properties. I honestly believe 100% that had we had any other real estate agent other than you, the purchase of our current house would not have happened. We can't thank you enough.” John and Lori
“There’s no way to say how pleased we are at the work you did for us- finding a house and making the whole process simple.” Douglas T.
“Thank you so much for all of your help with our home purchase. We really appreciate all of the time and thought you put into it. We couldn’t have done it without you.” John and Myra V.
“Mark Philhower has that kind of class and good listening skills that are very rare in this day and age. I appreciate his professionalism when decisions were hard and life-changes were important.” Tom F.
“For nearly 20 years, Mark has been the only agent I will use and the agent I recommend to many of my friends and acquaintances again and again without hesitation. Mark is honest and straightforward and would walk away in a second from a deal that he felt did not represent my needs, suited my personality or that did not benefit me financially. He is communicative and clear, stays in contact and walks you through every single step. He responds quickly to questions and confusion with patience and guidance and does not hesitate to ensure you are well aware of the process and of your rights and strengths. I have yet to discover an agent who works harder or who could surpass Mark Philhower.” Kalona K.
“Mark, Eric and Full Circle Realty are the best realtors in the Rogue Valley. We spent months looking for a new home, and they never lost patience with us. On the contrary, Mark counseled us to wait until we found just the right home for our needs, and when we did he worked his magic to get our offer accepted over a higher offer, and helped us negotiate a price reduction to pay for needed repairs. We couldn’t be more grateful and appreciative!” Craig H.
