About me

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.

All loans subject to credit approval. Rates and fees subject to change.

Derek helped my sister and her fiancé(e) buy their first investment property before they turned 21. That's life goals, and I couldn't be more proud of them. When I'm ready, Derek is who I'm going to call -Jefferson This portion is from my sister Maria Nobleza, My fiancée and I are young and wanted to invest in real estate, but we didn't know how or where to start. Derek Williams was instrumental throughout the entire process, offering his experience and knowledge. He showed patience while we juggled working and getting his team the necessary paperwork. We ran into a few issues along the way, but Derek continued to show patience, going above and beyond by meeting us in the office and working after hours to make sure we weren't delayed. We are now proud homeowners and are going to work with him again as soon as the rates drop! Thank you, Derek, for your hard work, for being responsive, and for your commitment to seeing us through to the finish line
