About me

I was born and raised in Columbia, SC and am extremely proud to call this home. I am passionate about all things South Carolina, particularly our beaches and University of South Carolina Gamecocks (BA, '02). With more than 16 years of mortgage lending experience I am eager to demonstrate what Guild Mortgage Company in Columbia, SC has to offer.

The family approach to doing business is what sets Guild apart from other mortgage lenders and banks. Our team works, collaborates, and wins together. The opportunity to help someone realize the dream of homeownership is not something we take lightly and if given that opportunity, you will see the care we provide through our local underwriting, processing, and closing teams. With sales and operations working cohesively as a team, we're able to approve more loans and help our referral partners more effectively strategize unique scenarios. Our end goal is pretty simple: We want to do our jobs right the first time and close our transactions on-time (if not ahead of time). Guild is the right place to accomplish that goal and we're eager to partner with you.

Thank you so much for your trust and partnership!

We had a great experience with Mark and Guild last year purchsing our home, and we appreciated him proactively reaching out regarding favorable refinancing terms just one year later. He and his team are great to work with and have saved us a lot with the refinancing!

I had a truly wonderful experience working with Mark and his team during the purchase of my first home. Mark was incredibly thorough, responsive, and shared in the excitement of this milestone with me. Anytime I had a questions, he promptly provided clear answers and offered thoughtful options to consider. His consistent Tuesday updates were especially helpful, giving me reliable insight into how things were progressing. Chelsea and Corbin were also fantastic, quick to respond and proactive with updates via email. Mark made the financial process smooth and reassuring, and I can't speak highly enough of the support I received. It was invaluable to have someone on my side who took the time to explain each step in detail and ensured I had a solid understanding throughout the process. Thank you so much Mark and team!
