Brian has been one of Akron's top producing  Mortgage Loan Officers since 1985 and affiliated with Fairway since 1999.  He enjoys working for Fairway because he is able to offer loan programs from more than 100 banks.  This variety allows him to provide his clients with mortgage financing that is perfect for their individual needs.

Personally walking you through the entire loan process from application through closing is only one of many services he provides his clients.  For Brian, his relationship with his clients doesn't end when the loan closes.  Keeping and strengthening client relationships continues to contribute to his success.  Once a client, always a client.

Brian, a native of Cuyahoga Falls, graduated from the University of Akron in 1984 with a B.S. Business Administration/Finance.  During his free time, Brian enjoys jogging and skiing with his wife.

Mark graduated from the University of Akron with a B.S. Business Administration / Marketing.  Not long after graduation, he realized an expertise in lending.

Mark built his business by providing exceptional customer service to his clients and realtors.  He lives by the motto "If you call...I answer."  Along with his belief in quality customer service, Mark believes in educating his clients on the differences between FHA, VA and Conventional financing and makes the effort to ensure they understand all aspects.  Since he began originating mortgage loans in 1994, Mark has consistently been a top loan originator in Summit County.

Spending time with his young son is important to Mark.  Developing a shared interest in sports is just one way he does this.  In his hours out of the office, Mark coaches baseball and basketball.  He and his son are avid fans of the Cleveland sports pro sports teams--Indians, Browns and Cavaliers.  Attending as many games as they are able and watching the rest on TV keeps them "fanatics".
