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!

The loan officer and supporting staff were extremely proactive and competent in helping us complete the loan process. Equally important was the obvious interest by the Guild personnel in our success in the loan process. The personal interaction and assistance made the process not only easy, but actually enjoyable.

I couldn’t recommend Mark enough. He made my home buying journey a breeze, and that’s even as a first time buyer. He was initially recommended to me by my Agent, but I still did some shopping around for other lenders to make sure I was working with someone I felt comfortable and not just going with the flow… but I still went with him because of his professionalism, kindness, patience, attention to detail, enthusiasm, and helpfulness. He was always accessible to me and very accommodating to my schedule. Would definitely work with him again in the future.

Working with Mark was a pleasure from start to finish of my homebuying process, even as an ignorant first time buyer. He was exactly what you would want in someone who is helping you with such an important decision; Kind, patient, knowledgeable, detail oriented and very accessible to any questions or concerns . I know he deals with several clients at once, but he made me feel as if I was his only one. I would highly recommend Mark and his team at Guild!
