About:
W. Mark Sanders, a successful entrepreneur and real estate investor, is the Founder and CEO of America’s Home Program (AHP), based in Tampa, Florida. Through this enterprise, he is helping families achieve the American dream of home ownership, while delivering investors a turnkey system that creates significant profits. With more than 20 years experience, Sanders has led several businesses to increased growth, conducted more than 7,000 real estate transactions, is an “Approved Investor” with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), known as Freddie Mac (OTCBB: FMCC), and now specializes in transforming non-performing assets into positive cash flow with multiple defined exit strategies. Sanders was born in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1967, and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Masters in Business Administration and Juris Doctorate degree from the University of North Carolina. By the age of 14 years old, Sanders serendipitously started an appliance delivery and installation business for Circuit City local clientele. Three years later, sold the business Circuit City. That same year, Sanders started a mobile lubrication and maintenance operation called Lube All. Sanders helped create and patent a new mobile oil-change system and franchised his operation, which he later sold to Quaker State. In 1988, Sanders founded Horizon Foods, which later became the direct home delivery arm for Omaha Steaks International. In 12 years, he built Horizon Foods from one truck and one market to a fleet of 428 trucks in 26 markets earning $258 million in annual revenue. From there, Sanders was asked to serve as President for Big Sky Beef. In 18 months, he helped the company meet USDA standards, constructed corporate-owned processing and packing plants and improved the delivery systems. This work enabled Big Sky Beef to prepare an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and sell shares to investors. Sanders also consulted the grocery-store chain, Winn Dixie, helping it establish a home-delivery business unit. In addition, Sanders helped Meals on Wheels reach customers nationwide. Soon thereafter, Sanders discovered real estate investing, and made his first million dollars in real estate by converting apartments into condominiums. In July 2009, Sanders conceived the America’s Home Program concept. “Since I have access to many discounted properties, I started building a system that would benefit both investors and home owners,” he said. “The result is a business that does four things; it’s a full-service turnkey solution for investors and future home owners, it stabilizes our communities, provides worthy families with a proven solution for home ownership and maximizes real estate investments.” Residing in Tampa, Sanders is married to Aliona, and has two daughters named Brooke and Sloan.
