Some of our Awesome Testimonials
EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Jim BridgesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I own a business and with all my tax write offs getting a home loan is more complex. The team made the process so easy. Loans in the past felt impossible but not this time. This is my new lender for life. Thank You!Posted on Lisa ReaganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark, We want to express our deepest gratitude for all the invaluable assistance provided us throughout the refinance process. Your exceptional leadership was evident in numerous ways. We commend you for the technology software you provided, which kept us well-informed and made the entire process go smoothly. Additionally, we must acknowledge the remarkable team effort and positive attitude that permeate each staff member. Hats off to you and your team, Mark! I want to express my deepest gratitude for pairing us with Tamara. Thank you so much! Tamara’s exceptional skills, knowledge, and ability to listen attentively and meet our needs with grace, kindness, and patience have truly surpassed our expectations. With great appreciation, Lisa ReaganPosted on Amit NTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great Experience working with Miss Tamara. She is extremly detail oriented and very helpful in getting things done in a very positive way. We continue to work with her and do highly recommend Miss Tamara & Mark’s team.Posted on Gary HixTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tamara was amazing! It was almost as if she never stops working. Very quick to respond or call back, was always on top of documentation and keeping us on our timelines. Additionally, 2 days before closing, I finally received my VA disability rating and her and Maritza worked very closely with the VA to fast track my new certificate of eligibility and saved me $10,000 in closing costs (VA funding fee)! Thank you to Mark, Tamara and Maritza for everything!Posted on Kenyatta JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Even though he wasn’t able to directly assist with my specific issue, he still took the time to provide free advice that likely would have cost a few hundred dollars elsewhere. His guidance was clear, practical, and genuinely made a difference. Highly recommended!Posted on Cynthia FloydTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really appreciated Mark’s assistance in helping me understand a complex mortgage process. His knowledge and experience were so valuable and he really took the time to talk to me and answer all my questions.Posted on Steven SykoraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Met Mark at his office this morning to pre-flight the details on a 2nd lien / home renovation scenario. Mark was fantastic at quickly helping us understand the process and move forward with great connections and insight. Highly recommended!Posted on Ali PetlinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark, Justin, Maritza and team were wonderful from pre-approval to closing! They work seamlessly together from the initial call with Mark to the pre-approval process with Justin to underwriting and paperwork with Maritza and closing with the whole team’s support. Would recommend experienced and first time buyers to work with the Mortgage Mark Team!Posted on Tonya SimsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently closed on our home with the Mortgage Mark Team, and overall it was a great experience. From the very beginning, Tamara was excellent to work with. She was incredibly detailed and took the time to walk us through every step of the process. She made sure our property taxes were calculated correctly, clearly explained the different fees associated with the HOA, and walked us through the programs that were available to us, including options for buying down the interest rate. She also made sure we fully understood our loan, especially when it came to escrow, and never rushed through explanations. That level of communication gave us confidence from start to finish. As with any transaction, there were a few moments that required communication to be bridged, and Tamara stepped in to ensure communication was aligned with the title company and that everything came together for closing. I highly recommend the Mortgage Mark Team to anyone who wants to avoid unexpected increases in their mortgage payment after closing. We truly appreciate the effort and support in getting us to the finish line and into our home. Thank you!Posted on karan desaiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Justin and the Mortgage Mark team were great to work with throughout our home buying process. He was responsive, transparent, and always available to answer questions.Overall, a smooth and professional experience-highly recommend working with Justin!
