I can't say enough good things about Guild Mortgage! Their loan officer (Amy J) was so helpful and reassuring. She knows all the ins and outs of the loan process and gave good advice and guidance all along the way. We will definitely be recommending Guild to our family, who may be joining us in Idaho soon!

I can't say enough good things about Amy Johnson, our loan officer. Moving from Texas to Idaho required a huge leap of faith, and at times it was very emotionally challenging for me. Amy sensed my apprension and gave me clear explanations, prompt follow-ups via text messages and emails, along with kind words of reassurance all the way through the process. I felt I was dealing with an honest, caring person who has the best interests of her clients at heart. In the end, the process went just as she had promised, and smoothly. There were no last minute surprises. I know she had to work really hard to bring it all together on time, as we had a tight time frame until closing. And even though she got sick with pneumonia midway through the loan process, she still stayed in touch with me!!! We are hoping that soon our son and daughter-in-law will be joining us in a move to Idaho, and if they do, I am definitely referring them to Guild Mortgage and specifically to Amy Johnson. She was a blessing to us, and she is a real asset to your organization. In Amy, I found more than an excellent loan officer. I found a FRIEND!
