BJ was so helpful finding the numbers that could work within our budget and getting us on track to buy our first home. We had a quick close and he made it happen. Stacy Olson was amazing at answering all our questions and making the process smooth and understandable.

John and Stacy at guild were amazing! They assisted my partner and I with purchasing our first house with a near record close! They were professional and quick to answer any questions along the way. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home in the whatcom and surrounding areas.

I recently closed on a home purchase which, included obtaining a mortgage loan from Guild Mortgage. Working with Guild Mortgage was a great experience from start to finish. The team was very responsive to my needs, and accommodated several tweaks to my strategy to give me the best result. When I opted to move the close date earlier, they made sure their paperwork was ready to support the new date, keeping everything on track for a smooth closing.

BJ and his team at Guild Mortgage (particularly including the wonderful Stacy Olson!) were fantastic partners in buying our new home. We moved across the country and bought a house at a time when "everyone" said was the worst time for home buying in years. I had a lot of questions and very specific concerns I needed addressed in the weeks and months leading up to our offer and purchase, and BJ and his team were patient, through, and understanding of everything I asked about. I was incredibly grateful for their support, and recommend them whole-heartedly to anyone looking for mortgage services. Additionally, knowing that they will be the wonderful folks continuing to serve our loan post-close is reassuring and helpful as we look forward to a strong relationship with the whole team for many years to come!

Stacy and BJ were amazing to work with. We were nervous first time buyers with a tricky employment situation and fairly recent immigration status change, yet they were still able to make it happen for us in a timely manner. We would receive answers from both of them within minutes, always keeping our minds at ease and ensuring us that it would all work out. It did and now we are settling into our first home. Thank you so much!
