As part of the Mosaik Real Estate team, Marjorie brings nearly two decades of experience in real estate, finance, and alternative lending to expand access to homeownership through her company, Verbhouse—an innovative rent-to-own platform. She specializes in bridging the gap between community members and real estate investors, offering both parties the opportunity to participate in reshaping affordability in high-cost urban markets.

Marjorie’s perspective on rent-to-own and alternative home financing is shaped by her firsthand experience during the 2008 mortgage crisis, which inspired her to develop a consumer-focused model that combines rental flexibility with long-term wealth-building. Her insights have been featured in Investopedia and Moody’s Analytics, and she is regarded as a thought leader in the evolving conversation around expanding access to homeownership through innovative financial solutions.

Before founding Verbhouse, Marjorie co-founded Stangl Advisors, a San Francisco–based real estate brokerage she led for nearly a decade. There, she guided thousands of homeowners through loan modifications, short sales, and foreclosure alternatives during and after the 2008 housing crisis. Under her leadership, the firm facilitated over $500 million in transactions and worked closely with programs like the U.S. Treasury’s Making Home Affordable initiative and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). 

A California native and economics graduate of UC Davis, Marjorie has called the San Francisco Bay Area home for more than 30 years.
