Let’s find the right home loan for you

We have loan options to fit every situation, from down payment assistance programs for first-time homebuyers to government-sponsored programs for military families and rural residents or jumbo loans in high-cost markets.

Down payment assistance

Down payment assistance

If you’re purchasing your first home, you have options to buy without saving a full down payment. Down payment assistance (DPA) programs can help with your down payment in the form of a loan or grant that is often forgiven over time.
Manufactured homes

Manufactured homes

Manufactured or CrossMod homes feel just like traditional, site-built homes. Fannie Mae’s MH Advantage® or Freddie Mac’s CHOICEHome programs create more flexible, affordable and innovative home options if you’re interested in purchasing a custom manufactured home with the look and feel of a traditional home. These can include many of the same amenities like garages, car ports, porches, decks and more.
VA

VA

If you’re an active member of the military or a veteran, a VA loan can help you save money with no down payment and lower closing costs. VA loans also have lower interest rates, meaning you’ll save money over the life of your loan. A VA loan is a program created and guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) specifically for eligible military veterans, service members and their spouses.

All loans are subject to underwriter approval; terms and conditions may apply. Subject to change without notice.

What can I say about Jacob and his team... Imagine if you will, Friday afternoon, 4:00 PM, closing set for Tuesday morning, the title company calls and needs MORE documentation to verify the verifying documents you already sent for verification purposes. Uuuhhhh, What?!?! I know, that's how we felt... Called Jacob and his right hand, Thomas, and frantically attempted to explain the above statement to see what the heck and why! Jacob used his very attuned active listening skills to understand what was happening and, once we had all deciphered the title company ask, he jumped into action to make sure that we would close on time. Now, going into a three-day weekend, my wife and I had our doubts about an on-time closing, but Jacob and Thomas pulled it off! Come Tuesday morning, the title company called and said we would not need the additional verifying verification documents and would close on time! I'm not sure how he did it and I'm fine not knowing to what extent he had to go, but we are very thankful to have had him on our side. He got us the best deal for our situation and pushed it along every step of the way! Thank you so much to Jacob and his team!

Jacob and Thomas were great to work with! Both were super communacitive, responsive and very knowledgable about the whole porcess. We had a few hiccups along the way with parts of the titling process and both were available to listen to our frustrations and worked hard to get us back on track. Overall, it was a great experience working with the team at Guild!
