Family and friends referred us to Mark and Karen for our January 2018 loan. In sum, we are grateful for and impressed with the service, which went above and beyond the norm in every way. As a short sample, the principals were available to us for all our questions. And indeed we found them to deeply know the finance, title, and real estate industries. Moreover, this expertise captures current environments and upcoming trends. Principals and staff kept us informed about our application status with phone calls and emails. We love our home and our loan, and Mark (now in cell phone contact list) is just a phone call away for any need. We thank you many, many times over Team Irwin, you helped us abundantly.read moreread lessT. N.2/16/2018

Mark and his wonderful team worked tirelessly from start to finish to make sure we got our house on time and with as smooth an outcome as possible. Mark was very forthcoming when we first spoke and demonstrated a great understanding of the local real estate market and economic trends we needed to work with/around to be successful. H was incredibly helpful during the negotiations with evaluating prices, taxes and over costs to make sure we were comfortable with everything we were doing. After getting into contract on a home, his entire team worked with wonderful synchronization to gather the needed paperwork and everything that comes with finishing a home purchase. The entire team was very good to work with and we close our sale in a 30 day escrow on time and I cannot say it enough--this team worked their tails off to make sure we had keys in hand on time! Start to finish, Team Irwin rocked.read moreread lessJ. D.11/07/2016

Mark and staff are very easy to deal with. They entire process was quick, simple, efficient, and accurate. I went through hoops and loops with a previous broker and had no luck in obtaining a loan.

Had a home listed and the buyer was self employed, with a challenging file. The buyer chose Brand X loan officer because of low fees. What a mistake! It all fell apart, and the sellers and buyers were devastated. I have worked with Mark and Karen before, and knew they could get this loan through, if no one else could. Within just 3 weeks, Mark took on the buyer and he and Karen got the deal closed! Self employed buyer, investment property, a challenging deal all around! Extremely pleased with the speed and excellent communication.read moreread lessS. G.3/09/2016
I recently decided to purchase a new home and my real estate agent recommended Mark, Karen and the Director's Mortgage team. I received a same-day pre-approval after a brief phone call. I was very impressed with the quality and speed of the service that I received throughout the loan process. Great communication and guidance. The loan was approved quickly (with competitive rates) and I was able to close the transaction within three weeks of my initial purchase offer! A very professional group that I highly recommend.read moreread lessD. R.2/22/2015
