What I Offer

Mortgage solutions built around your situation

Every borrower has a different story. I tailor loan programs to match your financial picture, timeline, and long-term plans — not a one-size-fits-all package.

First-Time Home Buyers

From pre-approval to closing, I walk you through every step. Low down payment programs, down payment assistance, and clear explanations — no jargon, no surprises.

Refinancing

Lower your rate, shorten your term, or tap into equity — I run the numbers to show you whether refinancing makes sense for your specific situation.

Jumbo Loans

San Diego's coastal and premium markets often require jumbo financing. I specialize in competitive jumbo rates and terms for high-value properties.

Rate & Term Changes

Market shifts can work in your favor. I monitor rate movements and reach out when a change in your rate or loan term could save you money.

Investment Properties

Expanding your real estate portfolio? I structure loans for investment properties with terms that support your growth strategy.

Pre-Approval Letters

A strong pre-approval strengthens your offer and speeds up your closing. I deliver fast, credible pre-approvals that sellers and agents trust.

About Mark DeWitt

A mortgage professional who actually listens

I've spent over a decade helping San Diego families navigate one of the most important financial decisions of their lives. Based in Carmel Valley, I work with borrowers across North County — from Escondido to Del Mar.

What sets me apart isn't a rate that's a fraction of a point lower — it's the clarity I bring to every conversation. You'll know exactly what you're getting, what it costs, and what happens at every stage of the process.

Whether you're a first-time buyer wondering if you're ready, or a seasoned investor looking to optimize your next move, I approach every file with the same standard: would I give this advice to my own family?
