About me
Hi, I’m Austin Braaten. I am a husband, father of three beautiful children, and a full-time professional Mortgage Advisor. I take great pride in lending you clarity and confidence when applying for a mortgage, and shopping for a home!
Whether it’s your first home, or tenth, my team is dedicated to making sure you have a great experience during the biggest transaction most folks ever deal with.
I have been licensed in California and Arizona for over 8 years now, here in the Greater Sacramento area. With extensive experience in First Time Homebuyer Programs, including being a Preferred Loan Officer by the California Housing Finance Agency, and my successful history of helping folks leverage their equity through bridge loans and reverse mortgages, we will have the right program for you!
When I’m not helping my amazing clients and partners, you can find me chasing my three babies around, or volunteering at the local food bank.
I look forward to working with you!

Testimonials
Austin Braaten was absolutely fantastic. Throughout the entire loan process he was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and very reachable. Whenever we had a question he was immediately there for us, day, night and even on weekends. We are extremely grateful for everything that he did to help us get to where we are today…homeowners. It was an unbelievable but totally awesome experience and we couldn’t have done it without Austin guiding us along the way.
Being a first time home buyer, Austin genuinely wanted to help me. He answered all of my questions, was quick to reply when I would send him a message, educated me about the entire process, and would provide me with status updates throughout the entire process. He followed up with me until the very end. His assistant Whitney was amazing as well. She was very helpful and would also provide me with updates. I can't recommend Austin and Whitney enough. They truly made my experience as a first time home buyer simple, easy, and stress free.
Wonderful experience with the Guild Team especially Austin Braaten!
Austin is amazing!
Great team, easy to work with.
As a Realtor I work with a lot of lenders; Austin and his team at Guild Mortgage are as good as they come. Super fast, responsive, professional, friendly, hard working, honest, knowledgable. They closed escrow for my buyer in 17 days and it was not an easy loan to fund. Highly recommend Austin!
