Mark Robertson

I’m proud to have been born and raised in the Village of Tilton, Il, a town with less than 2300 people, to two loving, hardworking, parents who instilled in me a strong work ethic and moral compass. That work ethic came at young age from mowing grass and shoveling snow, something I’m so grateful I don’t have to do here in sunny San Diego!

I graduated with a degree of science and a focus in business management and went to work for Walt Disney World in Orlando where I mastered the art of customer service. My job for Disney was problem resolution in theme parks. As a perk to that job I escorted celebrities through the theme parks during their stay. It was through that job that I got representation for acting and modeling and I moved to LA.

I started to appraise real estate on the west side of Los Angeles to subsidize entertainment bookings and I was recruited over to the mortgage side. It was very soon after that in 2003 when I jumped on an opportunity to become an in-house lender for a real estate office in Del Mar. I’ve been in San Diego doing loans ever since.

I’ve lived worked and played here my whole adult life and I can think of no better place to be. I’m married to the best mom in the world and we have two beautiful kids. I can be found paling around with my oldest girl Regan on the weekend. We’re either at home depot picking up supplies for a home improvement project or camping with the Daddy/Daughter “Indian Princess” camping group through the Encinitas YMCA. My youngest son Reece is constantly scraping up his knees from his bike and skateboard and is clearly living his best life.

When I’m not with my work Family at The Home Loan Collective or with my family at home, I love to snowboard, BBQ on my Big Green Egg, drink wine with friends, or find a good cover band and a dance floor.
