At The CRE Authority, we believe real estate is more than a physical asset, it’s a strategic lever for growth, efficiency, and influence.
Founded by Mark Cascagnette, MCR, a Fractional Chief Real Estate Officer (CREO), Corporate Real Estate Coach, and Strategic Advisor, we provide executive-level guidance to organizations navigating complex real estate and facility decisions, without engaging in transactional brokerage.
To help senior decision-makers in both the private and public sectors see the big picture, anticipate change, and act with confidence. We bring clarity, strategy, and innovation to:
• Boardroom-level real estate strategy
• Economic development and investment attraction
• Facility modernization and optimization
• Cross-border growth and corporate restructuring
• Policy, incentives, and site selection frameworks
Whether advising a Fortune 500 board, collaborating with government leaders, or delivering a keynote on the future of corporate and commercial real estate, our focus is on insight, influence, and measurable impact.

Mark is developing a legacy program to support retiring real estate professionals, giving them a dignified exit and their clients continued care. It’s one of many ways he’s challenging industry norms and putting people first. “Legacy empowers better decisions today. That’s the long game.”
Mark is a father of four, including a son with autism, and the proud son of Polish and French-Canadian immigrants. His personal experiences—parenthood, grief, resilience, reinvention—deeply inform his business mindset.
“I’ve lived through the hard stuff. That’s why I lead with empathy.”
