Lender Comparison
Both are Tampa-based mortgage companies. Here's what separates them when a closing deadline is on the line.
The Comparison
People searching this comparison are usually at a specific moment: they're buying in the Tampa area, they've heard of both companies, and they're trying to figure out which one is worth their trust before they go under contract. That's the right time to ask. Once you're under contract, your timeline is locked and your options narrow fast.
14 Days To Close is a mortgage broker, which means we're not locked into one lender's products or one lender's timeline. We're powered by PRMG and work with multiple loan programs in-house: FHA, VA, USDA, Conventional, Jumbo, and DSCR. When a file needs a different approach, we can pivot. Most single lenders can't say that.
We can't speak to what Marimark Mortgage will or won't do for your file. Every situation is different. What we can tell you is what we bring: local Tampa market knowledge, broker flexibility, direct access to Jordan on every file, and a documented track record of closing fast when it matters most. If you're here because your current lender is lagging, that's exactly who we're here for.
We don't frame this as a knock on any specific lender. These are patterns that show up across the industry, local and national alike. When a lender is stretched thin or their underwriting pipeline slows down, borrowers are the ones who feel it. Calls go unreturned. Conditions pile up. Closing dates start sliding.
Borrowers who reach out to us mid-transaction usually have one thing in common: they didn't realize switching was an option until it almost wasn't. A mortgage broker can move quickly because we own the borrower relationship directly. There's no processing queue, no hand-off to a separate underwriting team, and no waiting on a product that may not fit.
If your file is moving slowly or you've been denied and need to act fast, see how fast we move. That page shows documented closings, including deals we've taken from first call to clear to close in under a week.

A mortgage broker doesn't lend money directly. We work with wholesale lenders on your behalf, which means your loan goes to the source that fits your file best, not just the one our company happens to offer. That's a meaningful difference when you're self-employed, buying an investment property, or trying to close on a compressed timeline.
14 Days To Close handles six loan types in-house: FHA, VA, USDA, Conventional, Jumbo, and DSCR. If your situation doesn't fit one program, we know immediately and can pivot to another. A single lender can only offer what they've approved internally. When their answer is no, or when their process is slow, you're stuck waiting unless you start over somewhere else.
We don't have a corporate processing team sitting between you and your loan decision. Jordan reviews every file personally. That's not a marketing line. It's how we've built a track record of closing fast on files that other lenders couldn't finish. See what that looks like in practice.

Jordan Vreeland, Licensed Mortgage Broker
We've closed deals in as little as 4–6 days from first inquiry to clear to close. That's not a promise we make on every loan. Timelines depend on how quickly all parties, including the buyer, seller, title company, and appraiser, submit their documentation. But it's a documented track record, not a sales claim.
The industry average for a mortgage closing is 30 to 45 days. We've built our process specifically to beat that, and we do it consistently. When a deal is tight on time, that difference can be the reason a contract holds or falls apart. See how fast we move.
If you're already under contract and your current lender is behind, call now or schedule a callback to find out if we can still get you to the closing table on time.
Closing deadlines are real. When you're already under contract and your lender starts missing target dates, you don't have time for a smooth, unhurried transition. You need someone who can pick up an active file, move it fast, and give you a straight answer about what's possible, not a customer service script.
We've received calls three days before a scheduled closing and still delivered. That's not a boast, it's a documented track record. We know what needs to happen in what order, and we've built the process to compress it when a borrower needs us to. Not every file can be saved at the last minute, but we'll tell you honestly within the first conversation whether yours can.
If you're still comparing lenders before going under contract, that's the ideal time to call. You'll have more options and more leverage. But if you're already in the deal and nervous about where things stand, don't wait another week to find out. Call now or schedule a call today.
A free, no-commitment call with Jordan. We'll tell you exactly where you stand and how fast we can move on your file.
