This is my second time using John at Guild for a home loan. The team at Guild made both processes as smooth as possible, answering all of my questions throughout the process.

John. John. John. And the whole team. But John has been honest and looked out for my best interest from my original loan and all through this process. No games like I experienced with rocket mortgage. They over sell to try and win clients and under deliver. Not to mention they withheld my appraisal I paid for. John went above and beyond to help with the hopps they were putting me through. Highly satisfied and recommend to everyone I know.

John has been my lender agent since I first bought my home in 2022 and has helped me ever since including most recently when I had to do a cha sour refinance. John’s integrity was highlighted as he has always put what’s best for me first. When I was approached by Rocket Mortgage for the refinance they oversold and way under delivered; all the while John continuously assisted me including: helping me know what questions to ask them and translating the loan details from Rocket for me. His intentions were to make sure I didn’t get taken advantage of. In the end John got me a better offer than the competitor originally oversold. Highly recommend and trust fully. All the Guild team has been phenomenal.
