“Mortgage Marvin” Rosenberg, NMLS#199005 is the Branch Manager, Absolute Home Mortgage in Manalapan NJ.
Marvin started his first business at 19 years old while he was going to college full time.
After 25 years as the owner of 5 Thrifty Car Rentals in Brooklyn, NY, Marvin embarked on a new career in the Mortgage industry in 2002. Being entrepreneurial, instead of working for someone to learn the ropes in a new career, Marvin decided to open his own mortgage company, with a partner, and jump full force into the mortgage industry. Marvin was looking for an opportunity to help people and also use the finance skills he learned in his college major – Corporate Finance and Investment Analysis, and he decided he could do that in the mortgage industry. That was 22 years ago now and Marvin has not looked back since. Says Marvin, “I made a conscious decision to do things differently than a traditional bank or mortgage company. I knew the industry did not need another broker, but what it did need was someone like me – someone who personally cared about their clients, who would give sound advice and guidance, and someone who was a definite straight shooter. Back then the mortgage industry was like the Wild Wild West!”
In 2021 Marvin was listed in Scotmans Guide, a national industry publication, as a Top Producer for 2020 with 100 Million in Personal Loan Production.
Marvin has received the “New Jersey Five Star Mortgage Professional Award” as seen in New Jersey Monthly Magazine, for 12 years in a row. This distinction has only been achieved by 14 Mortgage Professionals in the state of New Jersey out of the thousands of mortgage professionals in the state.
Marvin runs a referral based business and does not purchase leads. Marvin and his team excel at customer service, attention to detail and the ability to analyze and interpret not just someone’s credit, but also their income. He is able to work with complex tax returns and clients who have investment properties, and he and his team put a great emphasis on responsiveness, communication, following up and always closing “on time.” Marvin and his team will jump out of their seat to educate and help homebuyers, even if it comes at a cost.
Marvin says “At the end of the day, it comes down to dotting every ‘I,’ crossing every ‘t’ and being prepared for turbulence, and then knowing how to navigate around the turbulence.”
Because Marvin has an uncommon ability to uncover and resolve issues, his advice is sought out by industry professionals and clients alike. He is also complimented on how much he cares about his clients and professional partners, and he loves to share cool marketing ideas with his realtor partners.
When he’s not working in the mortgage industry, Marvin loves to spend his free time with his loved ones. He has 3 adult children he is very proud of, and he is a grandpa to 2 little boys. Marvin also loves to experiment with creating new cocktails, and his relaxation is to go to the beach or sit out at a pool in the summer.
In addition to New Jersey, Marvin is personally licensed in PA and FL.
