"We gave Mark an impossible scenario and he was able to make it work. His perseverance was remarkable. He never gave up and got us a great deal. He was always positive and worked creatively to get the job done. I would recommend him without hesitation and think of him as a good friend. You can not afford not to use Mark. We are so grateful for what he has done for us.

"In November of 2003 we called Mark to see if he could help us in securing a construction loan for a house we wanted to have built. We had had construction loans in other parts of the country so I knew what I wanted in a mortgage broker. I knew immediately that Mark was the person. He asked all the right questions and gave the right answers.
From the very beginning Mark provided personable service. He communicated weekly regarding the status of the loan and made sure that all of the requested documentation was provided in a timely fashion.
Mark worked very well with the builder. Our builder has since directed other clients to Mark because he was so pleased with the smoothness of the transaction.
Mark effectively managed our expectations and answered our questions quickly and accurately.
He made the whole process painless, something that's hard to do when you're working with finances, people and mortgage companies.
Without a doubt if we were to build another house, our first phone call would be to Mark to make sure we could get the financial package in place."
