Mark Marino
Mark Marino is a versatile and highly consultative Senior Loan Officer at SunnyHill Financial, specializing in the diverse real estate markets across Hampton Roads, Virginia. Backed by a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, Mark’s professional journey blends broad expertise in single-family residential lending with a strong background in complex, large-scale investor projects and high-volume real estate portfolios.
Growing up with a father in the Army, Mark has deep personal ties to the military community. Having supported several of the primary military installations throughout Hampton Roads, he understands the unique relocation and timing needs of service members and their families. He takes immense pride in acting as a trusted advisor, helping veterans and active-duty personnel fully maximize their VA loan benefits with seamless, zero-down financing options.
Before pivoting into dedicated mortgage lending, Mark spent years sharpening his skill set in consultative B2B tech sales, corporate business development, and strategic account management. This analytical rigor and project-management background make him exceptionally well-suited for structuring multi-unit deals for real estate investors while keeping the homebuying experience deeply personalized and low-stress for first-time buyers. Mark's overarching business philosophy is simple: build lasting relationships, establish unwavering trust through concrete actions, and consistently deliver on promises.
A proud father of two, Mark lives full-time in the Hampton Roads area. When he isn't structure-matching optimal loan files for clients, he can be found working out, mountain biking, hiking, or cooking.
