Mark Snow and his team members including Kelly were wonderful. When it came to lender shopping, my priorities were communication and competitive pricing. Mark was available at all times via text, even after hours and on the weekends. Mark did his best to match rates to earn my business, and did. We closed on time and everything was smooth. I enjoyed the experience and would recommend Mark and the team.

Mark was willing to spend time with us helping to explore our options. He answered questions thoroughly, took our concerns seriously, and steered us away from options that weren’t right for us (even if they’d make Guild money). We also really appreciated that he was available outside of business hours to call the seller’s agent and quickly turn around a new pre-approval letter when we were ready to make an offer.

Mark Snow and his team is very expedient and professional! They were able to have my loan completed in a two-week timeframe from start to finish. There were no surprises, and I was super satisfied with the whole process. I have now done three excellent transactions with Guild, they are very motivated to please and it shows!

Mark was very generous with his time. He met with us to to explain the ins and outs of our unusual circumstance and brought along a colleague to talk through a potential future refinance. Would recommend
