A clear-eyed decision for every buyer
Silicon Valley's $8M+ market is structurally information-asymmetric. Off-market inventory, complex trust architectures, and cross-border tax planning all create thresholds that leave even capable buyers under-informed at the moments that matter most.
MK Group's mission is to bring deep community knowledge, transparent market data, and professional transactional support together — so that UHNW principals find the right Silicon Valley residence and make that decision with full visibility.
What we believe
Deep Focus
We do one thing: the Silicon Valley $8M+ market. We optimize for decision quality on each engagement, not transaction count.
Information Transparency
From off-market inventory to transaction data, from trust architecture to tax planning — we believe a fully informed buyer makes the right decision.
Long-term Partnership
An acquisition is not a transaction; it is a long-term relationship. From the first conversation through neighborhood onboarding after closing, we stay alongside.
