We recently worked with Cher as our loan officer, and she was absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the very beginning, she made herself available at all times to answer any questions we had, no matter how big or small. What really stood out was how she earned our business—she confidently asked for it and took the time to explain why Guild would be the best fit for our unique situation. The entire loan process was smooth and stress-free, thanks to Cher and her incredible team. They were organized, efficient, and knew exactly what was needed up front, which saved us from the usual back-and-forth on documents. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Cher to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated mortgage professional.
