Mullinix Mortgage Group

What Mullinix Mortgage Group does

Mullinix Mortgage Group is a Charlotte, North Carolina-based residential mortgage lender operating as a registered trade name (DBA) of Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group, L.L.C. (NMLS #72043). Founded in 2007 by Will Mullinix, the firm originates residential mortgage loans — including conventional, jumbo, FHA, VA, physician-specialized, first-time homebuyer, bridge, construction, and home equity products — for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties in North Carolina and South Carolina. The customer base is entirely consumer: individual homebuyers, physicians and medical professionals, homeowners needing bridge financing, and construction/equity borrowers, with no disclosed enterprise or institutional clients.

The business operates through a small team of licensed mortgage bankers (Will Mullinix, Taylor Linde, Morgan Wise, Don Walker, Lenzi Moore, and Marty Pizzo) who run a high-touch, referral-driven model, walking clients through a six-step process — Pre-Qualification, Application, Underwriting, Approval, Processing, and Closing. The firm does not operate its own proprietary technology platform, mobile app, or AI/ML capability; pricing is per-loan and not publicly disclosed, with prospective borrowers routed to loan officers for personalized rate quotes. Underwriting, processing, and back-office infrastructure are inherited from Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group, the parent of record.

Mullinix generates revenue through transaction-based origination fees on closed mortgage loans, with economics tied to secondary-market gain-on-sale and origination points. The firm is privately held, reports a 1-10 employee headcount, and operates from a single Charlotte office at 2108 South Boulevard Suite 214. Its digital presence is limited to a company website and organic profiles on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and the firm has not raised external funding, completed M&A, or disclosed expansion beyond the two Carolinas.
