A past client of Darrel and I called to help them buy a home after being deployed with the military for a few years. He was pre-approved with USAA and thought he'd stick with them. I had him reconnect with Darrel to see what he and Guild could work out. Darrel carefully and fully explained all the fees (from both Guild and USAA), rates, and loan details. After that chat, my client was sold! Loyalty runs deep and he is so happy with how Darrel helped guide him through the transaction. 5 STARS!!!!
