About me

As the Branch Manager of the Washington location of Guild Mortgage, Kevin O'Connell's primary focus is to facilitate the needs of homeowners’ in Franklin County and the surrounding counties of Warren, Jefferson, Crawford & St. Louis. By maintaining strong ties to the Board of Realtors, small businesses and other local communities, Kevin delivers Guild’s version of top quality mortgage banking directly to the market.

Kevin doesn’t try to replace a financial advisor but can definitely help manage finances from a mortgage perspective. A tenured mortgage banker can show you the many ways to reduce debt, maximize deductions and restructure investments.

“I intently listen to the requests of my clients and make it my goal to deliver upon these requests, and at the same time detailing the pros and cons of each decision along the way.”

Kevin has been in the mortgage industry since 1997. With Guild’s expanded product line, Kevin services not only the specific needs of the residential homeowner but also needs of the rural homeowner. His everyday focus is to be proficient with USDA loans, farm loans & land loans, including FHA, VA and Conventional lending.

“My primary goal is to help our clients move through the lending process with little effort. I focus on communication and service in an effort to build the trust that is needed for a lasting business relationship. The lending environment of today is turbulent, and continuously at risk of change. It has never been more important to make sure you are doing business with a true professional.”

Kevin strives to meet the needs of his clients in Wildwood, Ballwin, Eureka, Pacific, Washington & surrounding areas. Kevin is a graduate of Maryville University and lives with his wife Kelly and three daughters in Franklin County.
