I’ve had the privilege of working with this incredible lender for several years, and she continues to impress me every time. She’s knowledgeable, patient, thorough, and trustworthy. Whether it’s a first time buyer or a seasoned buyer, she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is handled with care. Her calm, steady presence and deep understanding of the lending process have made her an invaluable part of my team. I’m so grateful for the partnership we’ve built and always confident sending clients her way.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Katie Besso and her team at Guild Mortgage. With a situation that can be somewhat stressful it really felt like a breeze with her having our back. From the start, Katie and her team had such a high level of professionalism and efficiency, making the entire process pretty smooth. Her expertise were evident with every step in the process. She was always ready with answers to our questions, and her guidance was invaluable. Her team mirrored that dedication and commitment, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. Highly highly recommend!
