Mark Shvaya

Mark Shvaya is a licensed California real estate broker and property manager with over 50 doors under management in the Sacramento region. Years of running service-based businesses taught him what most web agencies miss: a website that looks good but doesn't generate leads is a liability, not an asset.

That hands-on experience with local marketing, lead conversion, and client acquisition is what led him to build websites professionally. He saw contractors, property managers, and other service providers burning budgets on sites that never ranked and never converted. The gap between what business owners needed and what agencies delivered was wide enough to drive a truck through.

He founded Verlua to close that gap. The agency specializes in building Next.js websites with SEO baked into the architecture from day one — schema markup, fast Core Web Vitals, keyword-targeted content, and conversion-focused design. Every project is principal-led, meaning clients work directly with Mark rather than being handed off to junior staff.

Outside of client work, Mark continues to manage his real estate portfolio and run property operations in Sacramento. That dual perspective — operator and builder — shapes how Verlua approaches every project: with the pragmatism of someone who has to make the phone ring for his own businesses, not just his clients'.
