About Derek Williams, NMLS: 2185067
Loan Officer | Guild Mortgage

If you're looking to buy your first home, refinance, or grow your real estate portfolio, you're in the right place. I'm Derek Williams, a lifelong Anchorage resident and experienced loan officer with Guild Mortgage. I’m here to make the mortgage process simple, transparent, and tailored to your goals.

With over 16 years in credit, finance, and risk management, I bring a well-rounded perspective to every loan scenario. My career includes key roles at Nuvision Federal Credit Union (formerly Denali FCU), Credit Union 1, Guaranteed Rate, and PrimeLending, A PlainsCapital Company. I've helped individuals like you secure financing for first homes, second homes, and investment properties, always with a focus on clarity and confidence.

I’ve also been privileged to work alongside a highly supportive and like-minded team that shares my commitment to going above and beyond for our clients. Together, we ensure you receive the guidance, communication, and care you deserve throughout your home financing journey.

You’ll always know where things stand because I believe in clear, consistent communication—whether the news is good or challenging. My approach is built on integrity, transparency, and a commitment to helping you succeed.

Outside of work, I enjoy making music, playing games, shooting hoops, hiking, swimming, and traveling with my family and friends. These passions keep me grounded and remind me why helping others achieve homeownership is so rewarding.

Let’s talk about how we can turn your homeownership goals into reality.
