Martin Matsumura
A Mortgage Experience Built on Trust, Clarity, and Connection
Martin joined Mortgage Trust after 28 years in the mortgage industry—not because he was looking for “just another place to work,” but because he wanted to align himself with a company whose leadership, values, and integrity matched his own. After interviewing the leadership team as carefully as they interviewed him, he knew he had found the right fit: a company that operates authentically, does business the right way, and delivers results without compromising ethics.
Over the course of his career, Martin has guided countless individuals and families through one of life’s biggest milestones—homeownership. Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up, investing in property, or refinancing for better terms, Martin takes the time to understand your goals, anticipate challenges, and create a mortgage strategy that supports your long-term financial well-being.
As a Mortgage Trust loan officer, Martin works as a true partner to his clients. His focus isn’t on rates and fees alone (though as a broker, Mortgage Trust offers access to very competitive pricing and a broad range of programs). His focus is on ensuring your mortgage is a tool that supports your bigger financial picture.
Clients often say they appreciate Martin’s ability to make the complex simple, to guide them through what can be an emotional process, and to be someone they can trust—both during the transaction and for years afterward. His approach is never “salesy.” Instead, it’s rooted in education, connection, and honest advice.
Behind Martin is an experienced team that makes every client experience seamless from start to finish. From application to closing, Martin’s team ensures you’ll never be left wondering what’s happening with your loan—proactively communicating, navigating challenges, and making the process as smooth as possible.
