MARQ Loves Fixing Things!

After being temporarily homeless at the age of 19 years old, MARQ A.K.A MARQ JONES, made a strong comeback and purchased his 1st home at the age of 26. Knowing how it feels to not have a place to call home and knowing how it feels to have a landlord to decide not to renew the lease for a condo that MARQ and his pregnant wife were renting at the time was a wakeup call to become a homeowner! This also ignited his passion to help others become homeowners. Starting his journey to become a Home Loan Expert with Rocket Mortgage, formerly known as Quicken Loans, MARQ was on the fast track to becoming the expert he is today. Moving around the industry over the years and working with other companies from New American Funding to Priority 1 Lending, Success Mortgage Partners, United Wholesale Mortgage and Nexa Mortgage, MARQ has learned the mortgage game in and out and coined the term "Mortgage Mutt". Now MARQ is dedicating his expertise to not just help people purchase homes, but to help struggling loan officers, companies, or anyone in need of sales training, production practices, or financial literacy education. 

  Being very tenacious and vocally gifted, MARQ was born with what some call "the gift of gab" or "a mouthpiece." As a kid he always had a knack for selling. From the door-to-door catalog sales for band fundraisers and selling ideas to his friends as a kid to door-to-door Ann Arbor newspaper subscriptions and kitchen knives as a teen, MARQ was cultivated into the sales industry! He began his official introduction into professional sales with T-Mobile at the age of 18 and it was history from there. As years passed, MARQ found himself exploring several companies in the area of sales. Working with companies such as Sprint, AT&T, Verizon Wireless, and many more, MARQ TRULY knows what it means that EVERY SALE IS THE SAME! People may ask MARQ , why did you bounce around so much? His honest response is the fact that it was no longer fulfilling or challenging! He led the store or region in sales, month after month! Being a natural born leader, teacher and "go to guy”, MARQ was offered several opportunities to move into management and MARQ turned them down every time. Reason being is MARQ made more money as a sales rep than many members of management. It didn't make financial sense to take a pay cut for a title and more responsibility for MARQ at the time. MARQ just loved selling and the interactions with customers! MARQ is a "Sales Guru”, and he does it with HONESTY and INTEGRITY! Truly assessing the needs of the client and building value in the solution to their needs. MARQ doesn't sell to make money alone; he sells to meet a need or fulfil a desire!

 MARQ has overcome several adversities in life from fatherlessness, substance abuse, alcoholism, gang violence, homelessness, suicide, and much more! Aside from helping people become homeowners, MARQ'S fuel and passion is to pour into others to see them liberated, limitless, and living life to the fullest! Having such a diverse background, MARQ can speak to an audience of virtually any kind! Possessing the ability to adapt in many different environments, MARQ can serve or bring value to nearly any setting. From corporate, to educational, to urban, and faith based, MARQ is an expert in his lane, but can be a wild card that can fit in nearly any arrangement if needed! His transparency and authenticity reach deeper than many can only imagine, bringing hope and motivation to those that least expected it! MARQ also specializes in helping young adult males under the age of 25! With his story of overcoming the common adversities in the lives of many growing up in this generation, he know his story will connect with those that walk the same path he once walked as being rejected by his mother and having never known his biological father!
