About me
I have had the pleasure of helping families achieve the goal of homeownership for nearly 15 years. I understand there’s a lot that goes into lending and the process can feel really overwhelming, especially for first-time homebuyers. That’s where my team comes into play – we are here to take the stress off your shoulders and make sure your loan closes without a hitch. Experience is key in this ever-changing market, and you’ll find my team has the skills and knowledge to make your loan process run smoothly.
My team is local to the Tahoe-Truckee community and we understand this market well. We have deep-rooted relationships with business partners all over the region and clients find our network and expertise helps their offers stand out. We’ve also earned the coveted recognition of being named the best mortgage company since 2016 by Best of North Lake Tahoe & Truckee – an honor we don’t take lightly.
Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned homeowner, I look forward to helping you through the lending process. Email my team at teamrice@guildmortgage.net or find us online at facebook.com/TheRiceTeam.

Testimonials
I absolutely love Chelsy and Katie! They’re super communicative, completely honest, and always go the extra mile to help, and manage to do it all with a great attitude. No false promises—just trustworthy, reliable guidance every step of the way. I can’t recommend them enough, and always feel any client I send their way is in truly excellent hands.
Quick, efficient, top notch service from everyone on the team!
Chelsy went above and beyond for my buyers in Tahoe, both before and during the sale. They faced a unique situation as first-time homebuyers, and she worked tirelessly to explore every available option for them. Throughout the process, she kept them informed and reassured, handling every challenge with professionalism and grace. When issues arose on the seller’s side, she was quick to pivot and find solutions. I can’t recommend Chelsy enough—she consistently ensures my clients reach the finish line, and I never have to worry about the loan process when she’s involved.
