From underwriting desk to your corner.
Marcus spent eight years as a wholesale underwriter, stamping files for the same big banks he now negotiates against. He founded Ashgrove in 2015 on a conviction formed at that desk: most denials were packaging failures, not borrower failures.
Today he leads Ashgrove's jumbo and complex-income practice — equity-compensated tech employees, business owners, physicians with new contracts — and personally reviews every file above $1M before it ships to a lender.
Outside the office he coaches youth soccer in the Richmond District and holds strong opinions about sourdough.
