About Me

Cassadie and Helen often brainstorm about the mortgages they're working on to make sure all details are covered and every client is provided the best experience possible.

I work closely with my team of specialists to get you the financing you need. See what each member brings to the team.

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%.
Reverse mortgage loan

Reverse mortgage loan

If you’re retired or at least 62 years old and looking to purchase or refinance to make the most of your home investment, this may be a good option for you. A reverse mortgage allows you to use the equity in your home to supplement your retirement income.

VA

VA

If you’re an active member of the military or a veteran, a VA loan can help you save money with no down payment and lower closing costs. VA loans also have lower interest rates, meaning you’ll save money over the life of your loan. A VA loan is a program created and guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) specifically for eligible military veterans, service members and their spouses.

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

Top Notch Professionals! As a Veteran retiring and caught in the "grey area" where projected income and disability benefits may not be not be to satisfy other lender requirements.....Helen Bernatek and her Money Team was able to accomplish an approved VA loan where 3 other lenders were unable to do. The communication with Helen and her team was daily and it was not uncommon to speak with Helen or teammate Rosemary numerous times a day...providing updates and transparency on the process. I honesty believe the loan was approved in record time and was accomplished with the leverage of Guild Mortgage and with Helen at the helm...directing her team to provide the best service and cost savings to a retiring veteran. Thank you Guild Mortgage, Helen, Rosemary, and Money Team for not giving up and securing a loan for the awesome home that I am about to close on. Give Helen and her Money Team at Guild Mortgage a chance to use their experience and networking to secure a loan for you.
