Mark Martinez is a native Californian, born and raised in the Los Angeles/Arcadia area. He earned degrees at Citrus College in Azusa and earned his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from San Diego State University. He has been doing residential mortgage loans since 2004 and prior to that was an ordained pastor for seven years.

Mark believes that there are three things that most clients are looking for. First, they want a good deal and they do not want to be taken advantage of. Second, they want the mortgage process and options clearly explained to them so that they can make good choices. Third, they want to be able to get in touch with their lender whenever they need to. It's by focusing on meeting these core needs of clients that Mark continues to consistently earn 5-star testimonials from his clients, realtors, and other industry professionals.

Mark and his wife have been married for over twenty-six years. They have been blessed with two daughters and their first grandson. At home, Mark's four-legged shadow is his yellow Labrador, Kayla. He has traveled to forty-six states and thirteen countries. His dream is to golf in every single state in the United States. He has written and teaches a comprehensive Rite of Passage program that is targeted towards ages twelve to fourteen years. The program teaches teens how to take personal responsibility in making important life decisions.
