Mark Casamassina began originating residential mortgages in 1993. Before joining Luminate, Mark was a managing partner at NJ Lenders Corp. (NJLC). During his tenure at NJLC, Mark has funded over 2 billion dollars in residential loans. 

Mortgage Originator Magazine has recognized Mark as one of the Top 200 Loan Originators in America since 2000. Mark has also been annually designated as a Top 1% Originator by NJ Monthly Magazine and Scotsman Guide since 1998. Both distinctions are a result of his superior customer service and satisfaction. 

Mark is an affiliate member of the North Central Jersey Association of Realtors. He is also a recipient of the Freddie Mac RISE Award, which recognizes his commitment and experience with first-time homebuyers. 

In the past, Mark served his community in Wayne by coaching the Boys and Girls Club, Little League, Wayne PAL, and the Wayne Warrior Travel Baseball Organization, and DePaul Catholic High School’s freshman football team. He is a devoted husband and father to six children. 

To his current and future clients, Mark says, "Whether you are buying your first home or an investment property, I realize this is one of the most stressful things you are going to do in your life. My reputation of always delivering has resulted in consistent client satisfaction and referrals. 100% of my business is a direct result of a past performance referral."
