From calling Mandeville and the North Shore home to helping her clients purchase and refinance their homes, Standard Mortgage loan Officer Marilyn Weller is here for all of your mortgage needs. Marilyn grew in Madisonville and attended St. Scholastica Academy before attending Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. While at LSU Marilyn studied marketing with a concentration in professional sales. Having lived on the North Shore since she was two years old, an opportunity to return home and worked in a field that she is passionate about was an easy decision.
“Working and living in the community that I’ve grown up in has been so much better than I ever expected. Better yet, working alongside my family is great too. I enjoy getting to work with and help family and friends whom I’ve known for years go through the home-buying process,” says Marilyn.
It was during COVID that left Marilyn looking for something new. “The mortgage refinance business was booming and Standard was ‘all hands on deck’. It was a great opportunity to learn a lot and learn it fast.” Experiencing that “A-Ha!” A moment with her clients is one of the best parts of Marilyn’s job. “A lot of times a borrower may be nervous during our first conversation, but as we continue to talk through the process and expectations, the switch flips and they start to understand more about the loan they are receiving and the requirements to obtain it,” explains Marilyn.
As far as working for Standard Mortgage the exceptional service and family environment speak for itself. “I greatly enjoy working alongside my brother and following in my Dad’s footsteps. A family-run company for nearly 100 years is something to be proud of.” The fact that Standard is locally operated and services all of its loans are other great benefits that Marilyn and her company are able to offer their clients.
When Marilyn isn’t helping her clients find the mortgage solutions they need she enjoys trying all of the new restaurants along the North Shore. “I’m always looking for new recommendations.”
