I have been in the Real Estate Industry since 1996.  I am a Southern California native and a graduate of Rancho Santiago Community College and California State University Fullerton.

My knowledge, experience, honesty, and access to different loan products makes a significant difference in your real estate transaction.  This is what I bring to the table.  I specialize in asking the right questions, looking at the bigger picture, and educating you throughout the loan process.  It is important to understand that not all borrowers are the same.  There are several factors that determine the type of loan you qualify for, the interest rate associated with the loan, and how they help you reach your short and long-term goals.  Whether you are a first time homebuyer, a seasoned investor, moving up, downsizing, buying an investment property, or refinancing, I can help you find the right solution to your home financing needs. 

My team at Guild prides itself in providing excellent customer service that exceeds client's expectations from the beginning of the process to the end.  We integrate high technology using today's modern tools along with the personal touch required during your real estate transaction.  We strive to be as a trusted resource for you on all your real estate transactions and look forward to earning your business!
