About Mark
Born and raised in Southern California, Mark Schultz has been in the Real Estate Industry for over 30 years.
Beginning his career in New Homes sales then transitioning to Mortgage Lending he has been involved in closing over
7,000 transactions. After securing his State of California Broker’s license in 1997, he then started his own mortgage
brokerage, MS Mortgage Corporation and then a real estate brokerage, The Homebuyers Information Center to
compliment his mortgage business. He sold both companies and moved to the island of Maui where he became a State
of Hawaii licensed Real Estate Broker. He worked there with a friend developing a property management and vacation
rental company as well as selling residential real estate. Family brought him back to San Diego and for the previous
seven years he was the Managing Broker of Solutions Real Estate. He helped grow that Brokerage from 10 Agents to over
100.
Always looking for a new challenge he has joined Realty One Group of San Diego as General Manager and Managing
Broker grew the San Diego market into one of the largest real estate brokerages in San Diego County.
A change in ownership helped Mark to decide to open his own brokerage once again. So, staring in 2019 he founded
SELECT California Homes with a core group of Agents he has been some whom he has been working with for over 10
years. Going back to his roots, he also founded Approved Mortgage in that same year to service the financing needs of
his Agent’s clients.
While not helping Agents grow their business, Mark enjoys going to the beach, hiking and playing golf. His passion
though is spending time with family. He has a wife of 24 years, two grown daughters, two sons-in-law as well as two
grandchildren.
Having successfully navigating the pandemic and the market that has followed both SELECT California Homes and
Approved Mortgage are ready to grow to meet the needs of the San Diego Real Estate Community.
