We had an amazing experience working with Katy during the home-buying process! She was absolutely awesome—always professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. She got us a great deal and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. What stood out the most was her availability—she was always quick to respond to our questions, even on weekends. Her dedication and knowledge made a huge difference, and I’m so grateful we had her on our team. Highly recommend!

As an agent, I have worked with Katy Winans for 3 years and she is fantastic! She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our clients are getting the best loan for their needs and is wonderful at coaching first time homebuyers through all of the steps they need to take and what to expect, even if they need 6 months or longer to prepare. Katy and Guild Mortgage make closing day a smooth one and demonstrate their commitment to client relationships long after closing!
