About Marshal Worthington

Founder of Southpine Mortgage

In his 37 years in the mortgage industry, Marshal Worthington has worked across every side of the business — from producing loans for banks, to eight years as an independent mortgage broker, to managing a mortgage department for 12 years at a $16 billion bank in Birmingham, AL.

Throughout his career, Marshal has overseen sales teams and lending operations, working closely with underwriters and investors. In 2008, he completed the Mortgage Bankers Association of Alabama Future Leaders Program, and in 2020 he assumed the role of President of the Mortgage Bankers Association of Alabama.

As technology increased, Marshal saw the mortgage process become increasingly impersonal. This was a driving factor in starting Southpine Mortgage and his decision to return to mortgage production as a broker after 14 years of industry management.

His goal for Southpine is to blend small-business accessibility, modern technology and deep industry knowledge…nothing flashy, just a simple and good experience for his clients.

Today, Marshal works directly with clients to guide them through the mortgage process. He understands that investors specialize in different types of lending and that successful outcomes depend on placing each loan with the right partner and managing the process from application through closing.

While Marshal values his career in the mortgage industry, he regards his faith in Jesus Christ as his greatest achievement. It gives him great joy to share Gods love and point others to Christ.

On the personal side, Marshal is married to his best friend, Susan, and they have four children together. He loves spending time with family, walking his dogs and talking about Scripture.
