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.

Testimonials
The team was very flexible especially when it came to submitting the needed documentation when the site was not cooperating. Additionally, I found their communication and engagement to be top notch.
Katie and her team are wonderful !! They explained everything very clearly and made the process very easy!
It was great working with Katie and Barb. There were a lot of steps and forms to fill out. But they made everything easy. Highly Recommend!
Buying and financing our new home was SO EASY. No repeated asking for the same information over and over. Guild website made it super easy to submit any forms that were needed. Great communication, super friendly and fast. Would use Katie and her team at Guild again!! You can’t go wrong with them.
Amazing to work with! so helpful on explaining everything on our mortgage. Always available when I had any questions (first time home buyer, so I had A LOT lol) and we were able to buy our dream home! :)
Katie & Barb went above and beyond to make sure we got our loan and were able to buy our dream home in time! When my husband and I first went to Guild to meet with Katie about a possible mortgage loan, she was so helpful in breaking everything down in a way we understood and explained it clearly. We walked out of our meeting hopeful and we were so excited because we didn't think we were actually that qualified when in fact we were! We had some bumps in the road along the way but Barb and Katie and the whole Guild team helped us with every step and because of them we were able to get everything finalized and approved right before we needed to close on the home we wanted. Thank you soo much to everyone at Guild who made this possible! We are so happy to have our home and start this new journey :)
