Florida + Georgia mortgage guidance
Real guidance. Creative solutions. Mortgages that make sense, with a few laughs all the way home.
I’m Marta Lillard, a mortgage broker who has worked in the mortgage business since 2000, from servicing to lending. I absolutely hate sales, but I genuinely love people. I listen to your story, explain your options, solve problems, and find the right loan for your situation—not shove you into the same box as everyone else. I communicate quickly, overshare a little, and somehow become emotionally invested in your life. Somewhere along the way, a mortgage happens, and I guide you all the way to the closing table. Apparently, that’s my business model: education, never selling—and honesty before hype.
I work with 20+ lenders and do the rate shopping for you. I compare rates, loan options, and costs to help find the right fit for your goals. You get choices, straight answers, and one person to guide you through it all.
Serving Jacksonville, North Florida, and borrowers throughout Florida and Georgia.

Local expertise
Florida roots. Georgia reach.
I help borrowers throughout both states, with a strong local focus on Jacksonville and North Florida. Insurance, property type, taxes, construction, and location can all affect the loan plan. We talk about those details early.

For Realtors
Bring me the difficult deal.
Fast preapprovals and regular updates matter. So does knowing when a property, income stream, or guideline needs a closer look. I help identify the problem early and work the scenario with you.
