Guest Bio

Cynthia Lewis is the Founder and CEO of New Dominion Mortgage, a leading mortgage brokerage based in Hampton Roads, Virginia. With over two decades of experience in the mortgage industry, Cynthia has transformed homeownership into a purpose-driven mission. Her company goes beyond closing loans—she changes lives. Through a unique partnership with a national non-profit, her company holds an annual Coat Drive and donates a coat for every home loan funded, ensuring warmth and care reach the community.

Cynthia's journey into the mortgage industry began shortly after she graduated from Hampton University in 2003. Encouraged by her father, she entered the field and quickly rose through the ranks. Her early years in the industry were marked by rapid success, but the 2008 financial crisis tested her resilience. Instead of succumbing to the challenges, Cynthia adapted by shifting from a refinance market to a purchase market, emphasizing relationship-building and effective communication with real estate agents.

Still grinding as a mortgage professional, hoping things will magically change?

That was Mark Libario. Stuck in the feast-or-famine cycle, burned out and running on empty. The inconsistent income, constant rejection, soul-sucking cold calls... and for what? A few scattered deals that barely kept up with his dreams.

Then everything changed.

Within just 11 months of discovering our proven system, Mark transformed his entire annual mortgage income into a single QUARTER of production.

How? Not by cold calling. Not by begging for referrals. Not by working even harder.

He built a system that worked FOR him instead of against him.

From Struggle to Success: Mark's Complete Transformation

In this exclusive interview, Mark reveals exactly how he escaped the mortgage struggle and built a thriving business that gives him freedom, not more stress.

• The mindset shift that separates top producers from struggling loan officers
• How to build relationships with agents who actually send quality deals instead of chasing anyone with a pulse
