Mark, Mitch and Beth McHugh are natives of Sequim, Washington. They were born into and raised in a real estate family – their father (and Mitch’s grandfather) opened his real estate company in Sequim in 1967. Mark, Mitch and Beth all left the area to obtain their college degrees before returning to Sequim. In 1991, Mark founded his new real estate company, Mark N. McHugh Real Estate and Beth joined him in the business a few months later. In 2019, Mitch joined his dad and aunt in the family business!
During their nearly three decades in real estate, they have acquired a depth of experience that they are happy to share with buyers and sellers. Both about the process of buying and selling real estate, as well as comprehensive knowledge about land and homes in our area, the building and construction process and issues associated with acquiring and developing land in eastern Clallam County.
“We promise, we will not tell you only what you WANT to hear – we’ll tell you what you NEED to know!”
