About Marathon Mortgage
We believe every borrower deserves a mortgage experience built on honesty, expertise, and genuine care.
Our Story
Marathon Mortgage was founded with a simple mission: make the home loan process transparent, efficient, and personal. After years of watching borrowers get lost in the shuffle at big banks, we set out to build something better.
We serve homebuyers and homeowners across Michigan and California. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, refinancing to a better rate, or tapping into your equity, our team is here to guide you from application to closing.
We work with a wide network of lenders to find the right fit for each client — not a one-size-fits-all solution. That means competitive rates, flexible terms, and a loan officer who actually picks up the phone.
What We Stand For
Integrity First
No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch. We explain every detail upfront so you can make confident decisions.
Client Advocacy
We work for you, not the lender. Our job is to find the loan that serves your financial goals — not ours.
Relentless Focus
From pre-approval to closing, we stay on top of every detail so nothing falls through the cracks.
Meet the Team
Zach Mayfield
Founder & Senior Loan Officer
NMLS #1698485
Originating mortgages since 2016, Zach left the big lenders to build something more personal — pairing competitive rates with transparent guidance and direct, ongoing communication from application to closing. An ultra-marathon runner and summer race director for Great Lakes Endurance in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, he brings that same discipline and follow-through to every client. Zach lives with his wife, Rachel, and their two greyhounds, Norma Jean and Bruce.
