About Mark

Welcome to our website! I appreciate you taking time to explore your financial future, and look forward to helping you seek out the best plan for you and your family.

I began my mortgage career in 1984, assisting Veterans purchase their first homes, using their well-deserved Veterans Administration benefits.  In 1988, I formed Security First CU Services,  a financial services company whose  focus was to assist Credit Unions across the US with their mortgage services needs.  Our company grew to be one of the largest Credit Union Mortgage Services companies in the nation.  

10 years ago, I made the decision to return to my roots.  After a long career leading large lending institutions, I returned to my roots and my greatest career joy as a Mortgage Originator and Real Estate Broker. It is so gratifying to help Buyers, Borrowers, and Sellers navigate the complexities of buying, selling and borrowing!

Hillpointe Home Loans is a subsidiary of Hillpointe Inc, along with Hillpointe Homes, a Real Estate Brokerage.  I have the privilege of working side by side with my wife, Laura, who has been a licensed Agent for more than 35 years. 

Whether you are purchasing your dream home, refinancing a current loan, consolidating debt,  or exploring  reverse mortgage options, I can help you find the right loan program.  And Laura is ready to answer your real estate questions, and help you navigate the complexities of buying or selling your home, throughout California.

Thank you!

Mark
