About the Author

Marcus Hiles, Property Developer

Marcus Hiles is the founder, chairman, and CEO of founded Western Rim Property Services and Mansions Custom Homes. Western Rim Property Services was founded in 1988, and was awarded one of the Top 5 companies of 2012, 2013, and 2014 by SatisFacts. The apartment industry’s leading authority on resident surveys, resident satisfaction, resident retention, and reputation management, SatisFacts selected Western Rim from hundreds of firms considered for the award.   

With a string of accomplishments that have been detailed in online and print publications such as Kctv5, KTVN.com, Marketwired, CBS8, and in the Dallas Morning News, Marcus Hiles is an undisputed leader in an industry that he himself has played a large role in establishing.

But success didn’t come quickly–or easily–for Marcus. Although he is now regularly profiled in such prominent publications as Marketwired, CBS8, and the Dallas Morning News, Marcus Hiles started out from much humbler beginnings than his current status would suggest. Born to a strictly middle class family, Marcus did not have the benefit of a big inheritanceor even any considerable financial assistancefrom his family. He therefore had to break into the real estate industry largely on his own efforts and ingenuity.

But Marcus Hiles persevered, and he managed to build a corporate empire that is largely responsible for the enviable state of the real estate industry in Texas. With a combination of business savvy, shrewd marketing, and good old-fashioned hard work, Marcus managed to overcome all odds and build a formidable presence in the real estate arena in the southern United States.

Much of the renown that Marcus Hiles has built up over the years is due to his two primary businesses: Western Rim Property Services and Mansions Custom Homes. Western Rim Property Services focuses mainly on developing single family residential units with 1- to 2-car garages. Developed in some of the finest locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Western Rim homes are also found in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.

These properties offer proximity to good schools, excellent work and employment opportunities, and easy access to modern conveniences and amenities. Best of all, Western Rim properties were located in areas that had plenty of green spaces, from untouched forests and waterside lands to manmade parks and verdant fields.

This focus on providing a pleasant living experience with plenty of green all around is mirrored with Mansions Custom Homes, which is where Marcus’ penchant for luxury is given full rein. The properties under the Mansions brand offer all the quality build construction typical of Western Rim homes, with the luxury and elegance kicked up several notches. With marble floors, granite countertops, green air-conditioning and heating systems, and state-of-the-art kitchen appliances, Mansions homes are world-class residential properties in more ways than one.

Marcus Hiles is so much more than just a real estate mogul. An avid wine collector with a personal collection of fine vintages, Marcus is also a philanthropist who has contributed to numerous social and civic causes over the years. Having contributed millions of dollars to land and public space development projects, Marcus Hiles is also a frequent contributor to schools, hospitals, and women's and children's programs.
