About me

Thank you very much for considering Guild Mortgage for your financing needs. We are well aware that there are numerous options for consumers these days, and we do not take lightly our responsibility to provide you with excellent customer service.

Even in the best of times, buying or refinancing a home can be a very stressful experience. That being said, we are now in an era of over regulation, over documentation and confusing disclosure requirements that all lenders must follow. A huge part of my job is to help you navigate through this process so that you reach your ultimate goal, which is to move into your new home or refinance into a better loan.

I have found over the years that the most important part of my job is good communication with my clients. I always stay on top of my files, I try to keep all parties updated along the way, and I try to deal with problems up front and solve them as early as possible.

My role as a loan officer is to discuss loan programs, interest rates, rate lock options and any other strategies you might have with regards to your loan or your finances in general. For processing or paperwork, you may call my assistant, Tyler Bolaski 951-775-7270.

Thank you again for considering Guild Mortgage Company and I look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,
Baxter Scruggs

I recently purchased a new home with the excellent assistance of Baxter Scruggs and the Scruggs Team, Guild Mortgage. Not only did they make my dream come true, but they also taught me what I need to know while going through with this process as a first-time buyer. Even though this was during the Holidays Baxter and his team put my needs first; Communicating with me on a regular basis keeping me informed of their needs for the process to run smoothly. In addition, they helped me with my needs of knowing that I was completing each important task properly. I felt like they were holding my hand throughout the process. I didn't feel like a number to them, I felt like family. Their personal care to detail helped to decrease anxiety during this process. I can't thank them enough for their professionalism, and kindness. I believe if you choose them for your mortgage needs you will be as grateful at completion as I am.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Baxter at Guild Mortgage, and I can’t recommend him highly enough! My sister, who worked with Guild in the past, had a wonderful experience with them, so I knew I was in good hands. Baxter was incredibly knowledgeable and made the mortgage process feel seamless. His communication was top-notch—he always took the time to explain every step and answer all my questions. I also want to give a shout-out to his loan processor, Yvette. She was amazing to work with, organized, and efficient, making the entire experience even better. Thanks to Baxter and Yvette, I felt supported and confident throughout the whole home-buying process. If you're looking for a mortgage lender, look no further than Guild Mortgage! :)
