I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Guild Mortgage — especially Brian and his phenomenal team. From day one, they made me feel supported, informed, and confident throughout the entire mortgage process. Buying a home can be stressful, but Brian and his team turned it into a smooth, seamless experience. Their professionalism, kindness, and constant communication meant the world to me. Anytime I had a question (big or small), someone was there to help — no delays, no runarounds. They worked quickly and efficiently to get everything in order, and because of their hard work and dedication, I was able to close on my home without any issues and even ahead of schedule. What truly stood out was the personal care they showed. Brian didn’t treat me like just another file — he treated me like a valued client and a real person. That kind of service is rare, and I’m so grateful for it. If you're looking for a mortgage lender you can truly trust, I highly recommend Guild Mortgage. Brian and his team are the best in the business, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again. Thank you again for everything!
