Derek Burkholder

Working with Derek Burkholder was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We had countless questions and concerns, but he guided us through the entire mortgage process with patience, expertise, and genuine care. What truly set him apart was the level of personal attention—we never felt like just another client. Derek was proactive in securing us a competitive rate and worked seamlessly with our realtor and lender to keep everything on track. Thanks to his dedication and professionalism, we were able to close on our dream home smoothly and on time. We wholeheartedly recommend Derek to anyone in need of a trustworthy, skilled, and caring mortgage expert. You’ll be in the best hands possible. From our initial consultation to closing day, Derek was consistently responsive, transparent, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every option available to us, ensuring we fully understood our choices and found the loan that best fit our financial goals.

Derek isn't just a great Mortgage Advisor, he's an amazing person. He listens to your goals and dreams and then works the loan around that. He will also guide you in a different direction if it's financially better for you. The purchase of a house is stressful and exhausting but Derek and the rest of the Guild team ease that stress and make things very simple!

I cannot say enough great things about our experience working with Derek! From start to finish. He was consistently professional, patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. We had a unique and sometimes complicated situation, but Derek never wavered. He went above and beyond in every way: promptly answering our endless questions, explaining every step of the process in detail, and advocating for us to ensure we got the best possible terms. There were several moments when we felt overwhelmed or uncertain, but having Derek in our corner made all the difference. He was more than just a loan officer - He was a true partner throughout the journey. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, we are now happily settled into our new home, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for someone who will treat you like more than just a number and will stick with you through thick and thin, look no further. Highly, highly recommend!

My wife and I recently worked with Derek while purchasing our first home this year. Although neither of us has a background in finance, Derek's guidance has left us feeling well prepared to manage our mortgage. Throughout the process, Derek exhibited a high degree of professionalism that resulted in a smooth process. He was highly responsive, maintained a high attention to detail, and was tremendously effective in walking us through a number of complex concepts. We felt comfortable with Derek every step of the way and have the utmost confidence in him as an advisor as we embark on our home-owning journey. We would happily recommend Derek to anyone looking to purchase a home in the greater Baltimore area and will certainly reference him to friends and family in the future. 5/5 stars - an excellent experience overall.
