About me
Hey there, I’m Kara – your trusted partner in the mortgage industry. I have been helping families make their homeownership dreams a reality since 2010. I have served hundreds of families in their quest to either save money with a refinance or purchase a home with the best possible financing package. Guild Mortgage has been in business for over 60 years and is a leading mortgage lender. We service a majority of loans we close and handle everything locally. My mission is to understand my clients’ needs and deliver an experience that is far beyond their expectations. In addition to being a mortgage professional, I am most happy when floating on the river. I am a mom to a 10 year old boy and have a black lab that we adore! I am super excited to show you how EASY getting a mortgage can be!

Testimonials
Kara is our favorite. Great communication and so understanding of our weird situation. Plus she had a perfect balance of professionalism and personality
Kara was amazing to work with! She was patient and knowledgeable and took the time to educate my clients on their options. Purchasing a home is an emotional and personal process. She took the time to calm nerves when needed, and give advice when it was appropriate. Would highly recommend her!

great lender, first rate service. Definitely talk to kara
Kara was straightforward and upfront with all information. Our situation is somewhat complex, and she worked hard to ensure that we had everything we needed to make an informed decision. Communication was excellent, which was complicated as we were out of the country for much of the process.
Kara was always available to help or answer any questions! Our client was traveling internationally and thought outside the box to ensure that all deadlines and expectations were met. She provided clear and concise numbers and set detailed expectations so there was no confusion or last-minute surprises. She helped us close quickly and made the process seem easy even though there were complicated logistics to overcome! AMAZING SERVICE!!
