Phil Lyman

I joined Guild Mortgage in 2023 after spending more than 23 years funding residential loans. Before that, I earned a BS in Sociology from Portland State University. For several years, I specialized in working with clients buying investment properties. I am licensed in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, and Arizona. Working at Guild Mortgage gives me the opportunity to collaborate with a great group of colleagues. I enjoy working with my co-workers and realtors to find the best possible loan options for my clients. My clients appreciate my straightforward approach, clear communication, and quick response time. I excel in assisting clients in making decisions that make the most sense for them while also considering their long-term goals. First-time home buyers especially value my help in clearly understanding each step of the loan process. There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone purchase or refinance a home and achieve their financial goals. I currently have a 4.96 out of 5 stars rating from almost 200 reviews on Experience.com. Away from work, I enjoy fishing, golfing, traveling, and spending time with my family. I was around eight years old the first time I went fishing. I caught a couple of trout and was hooked from there. Ever since then, I have tried to fish at least once a week. Fishing is a way for me to relax and enjoy the outdoors. I have also found that fishing can be a good way to connect with past and future clients. Let me know if you'd like to go fishing together!
