Personalized Loan Options to Fit Your Unique Situation

About me

Hi, I'm Olivia Paulson! As a longtime Oregonian who grew up in Lake Oswego and attended the University of Oregon, my passion for the mortgage industry shines through in every transaction. For over two decades, I've been dedicated to helping families achieve the dream of homeownership. I believe in empowering you through education and practical guidance so that when you find your home, you'll be confident and ready to move forward. At Guild, we offer tailored loan options to fit every situation, from down payment assistance programs and loans for Veterans to refinances and jumbo loans in high-cost markets. With hundreds of programs at your fingertips, you can select the interest rate that best fits your needs once your house contract is in hand. When I'm not working, you might find me on the tennis court, decorating my home, cheering on a local sports team, or traveling with my husband Erick and son Jack. As an active community member, I enjoy participating in the Oregon Mortgage Brokers Association, Women's Council of Realtors, and volunteering with the Junior League of Portland and PDX Women for Good. I go the extra mile to provide an outstanding lending experience and strive to simplify one of your biggest purchases – buying a home.

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.

Conventional

Conventional

A Conventional loan is a great option if you have an average to high credit score and little debt. This allows you to take advantage of lower interest rates. With these types of loans, you have the option to put 20% down, which eliminates the need for private mortgage insurance (PMI) and saves you money. If you don’t have a large down payment saved up though, don’t worry. We have Conventional loan options for down payments as low as 3%.
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.
Jumbo

Jumbo

Jumbo loans offer larger loan amounts than most other loan programs. These loans are a great option if you’re looking to buy a more expensive home and have a great credit score and strong financial situation.

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