Former Law Enforcement
Before real estate and entrepreneurship, Mark spent years in law enforcement. Protecting communities, dealing with real consequences and learning that leadership means a lot more than sitting behind a desk.
Meet Idaho Wild
The Wild Bunch.
Real estate is what we do. Idaho is what we believe in.
Idaho Wild was built for people who believe land matters, ownership matters, family matters and freedom still means something.
A home isn't just square footage. Land isn't just dirt. Property gives families room to build, work, gather, raise kids, plant roots and leave something behind.
What We Believe
Ownership means something.
Faith.
Family.
Freedom.
Property.
Legacy.
The People Behind Idaho Wild
Different backgrounds. Same backbone.
Real estate. Land. Construction. Business. Idaho life. Different skill sets — one pretty simple standard: know your craft, tell the truth, work hard and don't be afraid to stand for something.

Founder · Broker · CEO
Mark Fitzpatrick
Realtor. Entrepreneur. Former cop. Husband. Father. Professional troublemaker when something worth defending is on the line.
Mark Fitzpatrick founded Idaho Wild after years spent at the intersection of real estate, marketing, entrepreneurship and the belief that where you live matters.
A licensed real estate broker with more than a decade in the industry, Mark has overseen marketing and sales efforts connected to billions of dollars in real estate projects. But Idaho Wild was never supposed to become another polished brokerage filled with stock phrases about “dream homes.”
Mark believes property ownership is one of the practical foundations of independence. A piece of land gives a family options. A home gives them roots. Acreage gives them room. And owning something outright gives people a little more ability to tell the rest of the world to mind its own business.
“Freedom is a lot easier to defend when you own the ground you're standing on.

There's More to the Story
Mark has never been just a Realtor.
Serial Entrepreneur
Real estate. Development. Marketing. Hospitality. Events. Mark has built businesses, taken risks, had wins, learned from losses and kept building.
Owner of Old State Saloon
Mark turned an Eagle saloon into something considerably louder than a neighborhood bar — a gathering place built around faith, family, freedom, culture and conversations polite society occasionally prefers people don't have.
Husband + Father
Mark and his wife Sarah are raising six children. Family isn't a marketing demographic around here. It's the reason most of this matters in the first place.
68,711
And Then He Ran For Governor
Because apparently running businesses wasn't enough.
In 2026, Mark challenged sitting Idaho Governor Brad Little in the Republican primary.
He didn't win.
He did earn 68,711 votes statewide — nearly 29% of the Republican primary vote — while running against an incumbent governor.
The campaign was never about building a political résumé. Mark ran because he had spent years telling ordinary people to stop waiting for somebody else to stand up.
Eventually, you have to take your own advice.
No Mystery Here
Mark believes what he says.
You won't need three meetings and a focus group to figure out where he stands.
Faith
God comes before politics, business and whatever happens to be trending this week.
Family
Strong families build strong communities. That's not controversial around here.
Property Rights
Ownership means something. Landowners should be treated like owners — not temporary custodians awaiting permission.
The Second Amendment
A constitutional right doesn't become less important because somebody finds it unfashionable.
Free Speech
Ask uncomfortable questions. Say what you believe. Truth doesn't require permission.
Idaho
Growth is inevitable. Losing what makes Idaho worth moving to isn't.
So What Does Any of This Have to Do With Real Estate?
Real estate built around the life you're trying to protect.
Pretty much everything.
When Mark helps somebody buy land, he's not looking at it as an abstract parcel number. He's thinking about what it lets that family do.
Can they build? Can they keep animals? Can the kids run outside? Can they put up a shop? Can they create income? Can they get some breathing room? Can they build something their children might actually want someday?
And when Idaho Wild represents a seller, the goal isn't to whisper politely into the market and hope somebody notices. The goal is to position the property, tell its story and represent the owner boldly.
The Wild Bunch
Mark started it. He's not doing it alone.
Idaho Wild is growing into a team of people with different skill sets and one shared standard: know your craft, tell the truth, work hard and don't be afraid to stand for something.
