About me
The Gifford Team was formed in 2009 by Shayla Gifford and Lynette Bonnett. Over the years, Shayla and Lynette have grown this dynamic sales team.
They work closely behind the scenes with the best operations staff from processing to funding. It takes a village to close a loan and The Gifford Team is dedicated to helping their clients find the right program that compliments their financial goals.
Since 2009, the team has helped more than 5,000 families totaling more than $1 billion in closed sales. They love what we do and the clients they serve, which is also a reflection of The Gifford Team ranking in the top 1% of originators nationwide per The Scotsman Guide and Mortgage Executive Magazine top originator 2020 reports.

Very helpful
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!
Thank you, Guild team! Thanks Katie for helping lock this one in for our clients (a day late)!
