Hi, I’m Marc! Your anti-jargon mortgage expert. I look forward to helping you understand this crazy world of home loans.
Marc's journey into the mortgage realm began back in 2012 during the HARP refinance frenzy. Starting as a Loan Processor, he quickly learned the importance of efficiency and precision, as the underwriting standards were exceptionally strict. This knowledge was carried along into Loan Origination when Marc obtained his license in 2014. Fast-forward to 2019, and Marc decided to become a Mortgage Broker and start his own 3rd Party Processing Company, Top-Shelf Processing. His primary focus is now educating clients on mortgage loans, while providing the highest level of service and expertise.
