Testimonials
From the minute Nora recommended me to Karl, he has been professional, always thinking of solutions to the hiccups along the way, motivated by one goal: to ensure we have a house!
Karl was always on point. Fast and effective communication. He was always the first lender to respond and his rates were better than other banks could offer. He answered all of our questions and made sure that we understood where all the numbers were coming from. If the question was about something from the title company, then he reached out to make the homebuying process far less stressful. Definitely recommend Karl and Guild Mortgage!
Karl Svendsen and his team at Guild Mortgage are nothing but the best! Karl was quick to respond and modify approval letters throughout our home search. Once we found the one he kept us informed and stayed proactive. All of our questions were answered and he made us feel at ease. We would highly recommend Karl, especially for someone new to the home buying process!
Karl was extremely professional and timely. We appreciated his quick responses when it mattered most. With how quickly some homes are selling now it was important to be able to receive fast approval letters modified to meet the needs of each offer we were extending until we finally found the right home. Once our offer was accepted Karl made sure we understand every step of the process and was proactive about answering our questions. We would recommend Karl to anyone, especially someone new to the home buying process.
