About me

I started in the mortgage industry in 2012. As a graduate of Portland State University with a degree in Real Estate Finance, housing finance has long been my focus. My goal is to provide clients and real estate partners with the tools to better understand the lending process and overcome obstacles to home ownership.

Married with two young children, I'm proud to call Portland my home. On the weekends, you can find me exploring the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and other outdoor activities.

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.

Rayko did a fantastic job for clients of mine. The buying process can be intimidating for a buyer, but Rayko made sure to stay in constant communication with them, breaking down each step throughout the process. It was one of the smoothest transactions I’ve been apart of! I cannot recommend him highly enough.

My partner and I would have been absolutely LOST without Rayko’s help. Rayko and the Guild team took such care and patience with us throughout the process of buying our first home. We called Rayko with the most random questions and he always went through the details with us and helped us understand the financial process and beyond. Rayko also always had a positive attitude and a ton of guidance - can’t imagine going through that process with another lender - he’s the best!

Rayko was a great lending partner that made me feel safe and secure in knowing all the different pieces of the home-buying puzzle. You've probably heard horror stories of lenders from before. Rayko was just completely on the ball for communication at all points of the transaction. I never felt out of the loop at any point, which for complex as home buying can be, gave me complete peace of mind! Rayko works with you personally to find the right situation that works for you. No sales pressure. He was able to find me a loan perfectly suited for myself, for the home that I wanted. He ran all numbers and scenarios and laid them out perfectly for me to understand. These personal touchpoints made it certain that I was picking the right option for my own financial health. If you need a lender that works with you, keeps communicating, and has a stellar team working behind them, Rayko is your person! I highly recommend reaching out and seeing what works for you!

Working with Rayko was an excellent experience. He took on the loan at the last minute and managed to close it in just two and a half weeks, which is incredibly impressive, especially for investment purposes. Both his clients and mine had very specific needs during the negotiations, but Rayko handled everything seamlessly and closed the transaction on time, smoothly and efficiently. Thank you, Rayko—you truly nailed it!
