It was a great experience for me to be on the other end with Mike and my lender. We have worked together previously and can?t be happier with the level of service and guidance Mike provides. He was not only patient (willing to talk through any lending strategy or potential home), he was proactive (sent us a couple of listings), and highly educated (walked us through in depth how mortgage rates are calculated and helped us avoid trying to time the market with the rate cuts which would have resulted in a higher interest rate). I can?t recommend using Mike enough to be your lender for all of your future home purchases and/or refinances. Already looking forward to the next chance to work together again! Thank you Mike!

Mike Guild is the perfect lender to know for veterans and their families! My husband and I worked with Mike to secure a loan for our new home in Bothell, through the VA loan program, and as a vet, my husband had never been through the process for this type of loan before, so we had a ton of questions. Mike broke it all down and made everything so easy for us. We're really grateful for his experience with VA loans and his willingness to answer all of our questions.Personally, this wasn't my first time working with Mike so I knew we were in safe hands - he had previously helped me when I bought my condo on my own. Having that existing relationship and knowing that he was always available to address my concerns was a huge comfort. From start to finish, the timeline was pretty quick. We began looking in early March and closed on our home by mid-April, which I believe is fairly standard for a 30-day property closing.Throughout the process, it truly felt like Mike wanted what was best for us. There was no undue pressure, and he went above and beyond to make our lives easier. I would sometimes call or text, not expecting an immediate reply, especially after business hours, but more often than not, I would get one. My husband, being the veteran, had his own set of questions, and Mike was so patient guiding us through everything. It was like having our hands held without feeling patronized.I would absolutely recommend Mike to friends and family, especially those who are navigating the home-buying process for the first time or using a VA loan.

I recently wrapped up an FHA purchase with Mike Guild as my mortgage lender. It was my first time teaming up with him, and he came highly recommended by both my partner and my realtor. Their confidence in Mike gave me a sense of ease right from the start.What sets Mike apart is his availability, responsiveness, and communication skills. He was always there when I needed him, even beyond regular hours. Another great thing about working with Mike was his clarity when it came to the required documentation. He made it relatively hassle-free for me to gather and submit everything needed, which definitely simplified the process.I was also pleased with the rate that Mike managed to secure for me. Having been through the homebuying process before, I understand the importance of snagging a competitive rate.If I find myself in the market for another property in the Seattle area, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Mike again. And I'd gladly recommend him to friends and family.

My wife had previously purchased a condo which Mike had helped get the mortgage on 4 years ago. After living there together a few years, we decided we needed more space, Mike was a no-brainer for handling the financing of the mortgage of our new home.I am a US Army veteran that had inquired with other lenders in the past who were unfamiliar with the process, didn't have a whole lot of answers for me, and couldn't get a deal done. When we contacted Mike he explained that they were a preferred VA lender and I didn't even need to retrieve my certificate of eligibility because they could handle it all for me.Throughout the process Mike was always there to answer any questions. In order to get our home with a zero down payment, we had to bump our wedding date up by a few months. He even picked up the phone as we were calling late at night from the Chapel in Las Vegas, long after the end of the traditional business day, to ask about expediting our marriage license. Mike is extremely attentive, midway through the process he noticed that the mortgage rates were going to be going up later that day.He was able to contact us and correspond with our realtor and the sellers in order to lock us down at the lower amount, before the rates increased that evening.Mike even was able to consider the future rental income we would be earning on the existing condo, so that we could qualify for the new home, while keeping the condo as a rental property. Mike made the process as easy and pain-free as the largest purchase a person might ever make in their life could possibly be. I'll be sending my friends, family, and children to him when the time comes that they need a mortgage lender in Seattle as well. Thanks for everything Mike.

We couldn't have asked for a better mortgage lender than Mike Guild, especially as first-time homebuyers. He was great to get along with. We could talk about anything, and as the fiduciary, he had all the latitude in the world to discuss various strategies for setting up and repaying the loan. We felt extremely well-informed every step of the way. He was assiduous in helping with anything that came up - always warm, always conscientious. Mike has a great personal touch. He understood not only what I needed but when I needed it. In terms of professional service, it couldn't have been better in terms of clarity and comprehensiveness.

We just bought our first home in Lake Forest Park, Seattle, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. We're so glad our realtor put us onto Mike Guild because he was the perfect lender for a first-time homebuyer. He broke all the industry jargon down into language we could understand to really grasp how the FHA loan program works! Whenever we had questions, Mike was readily available and always quick to get back to us, no matter how simple or complicated the question.He's such a nice guy and was very happy to run different numbers and scenarios for us, which was the most helpful factor in making the right decision. Once we moved forward, Mike prepared all the necessary paperwork and had us ready to close within two weeks if it weren't for the sellers holding things up.I would recommend Mike to all of my family and friends - the service he provided was excellent, and we are thankful for his knowledge and kindness. I would definitely advise other first-time buyers to give him a call if you're a little stuck with finding the right lender.

Mike and his team made securing a VA home loan with 0% down an amazing experience for us, despite the challenge of moving our whole world from Hawaii to Seattle, WA. Getting approved for our home here posed various challenges along the way. The need for a swift relocation from Hawaii to Seattle due to my job, coupled with selling our Hawaii home, made it crucial for us to find the right mortgage lender in Seattle. That's when we were introduced to Mike and his team, based on the recommendation of our agent.Given the complexity of coordinating the sale and purchase between two states, I greatly appreciated having Mike's depth of experience on our side. He answered calls and questions at all hours to ensure no delays. When our Hawaii home took longer than expected to sell due to interest rates, Mike stepped in to adjust our Seattle offer several times to prevent us from losing the house.Once our home finally sold, Mike had everything organized for us to close on the Seattle purchase just ONE day later! Throughout the home-buying process, Mike made us feel comfortable and informed every step of the way, despite much of the work happening remotely. His responsiveness and precision were key in making this complex home transition possible.I could tell Mike commands great respect from all the top professionals involved ? realtors, escrow teams, etc. He helped us navigate each relationship seamlessly. From start to finish, Mike combined friendliness and professionalism to provide phenomenal service. I'd recommend him to handle even the most complicated lending needs for anyone thinking about buying a home in Seattle, WA.

Mike Guild is a fantastic mortgage lender to work with. He was so welcoming, and very clear with explaining the process and finer details about the loan and closing costs. Whilst our situation was a little complicated due to our status in America, Mike really took it upon himself to research the best route which gave us great peace of mind.As first time homebuyers, we are so grateful for his support. Whilst we were always financially sound, other lenders looked at our immigration status as a hindrance and used 'standard procedures' as a reason to dismiss us which made it really difficult. Unlike Mike who was willing to go further and do some research to figure out how to make it happen. He was so patient and made sure we understood everything. His never say die attitude gave us a lot of confidence.Thanks to his efforts we were able to lock in a conventional loan with 5% down and close on our new home in Redmond, WA in just 2 weeks!

Working with Mike Guild was an incredible experience! As a first-time homebuyer in a tough market like Seattle, I had many questions and uncertainties, but Mike's support and expertise made the entire process smooth and comfortable.What really stood out was Mike's exceptional communication. He was always just a call or message away. Even when he was briefly unavailable, he made sure to let me know when I could expect a response, which I greatly appreciated.Mike's ability to explain complex matters in simple terms made me feel confident and in control of my decisions. He took the time to ensure I understood every step, which was invaluable to me as someone going into home-ownership for the first time.Mike was also able to get my mortgage approved in just about a week which I was super impressed with. In the end I opted for a conventional owner occupied loan with 20% down over 30 years at a fixed rate. Mike really knew his stuff when it came to what option was best for me. If I ever need another mortgage in the future, there's no doubt I'd turn to Mike Guild. I can't recommend his services enough.

Quick shoutout to Mike Guild for helping me secure a conventional 30 Year Fixed home loan and making my first mortgage experience a smooth one.My realtor recommended him, and as this my first rodeo I had a truckload of questions but Mike was super patient with me. He took the time to explain everything, even the basic stuff I should've known but didn't. He really made me feel at ease about the whole process.The cool thing was how fast he got things done. Once I decided on using him, it felt like the mortgage got approved in a day or so. Seriously, this guy doesn't waste any time. Even when there were other offers in the mix, he moved things up the chain and handled it like a pro.I'd certainly be happy to hire Mike again in the future.

Mike exceeded our expectations in every way. The level of service we received far surpassed what you'd typically expect from a bank or lenderDespite initially handling everything from South Korea, where we were relocating from, Mike showed an unwavering commitment to being available during prime hours for us. He not only secured a better rate but also provided comprehensive information on how APR is determined. We were uncertain about the impact of the points system on the APR, and his expertise proved invaluable in securing the rate we wanted without unnecessary points.Even though it was often very late for him in Washington, his ability to provide such personalized service was fantastic. Not many banks would have gone to those lengths for us.Nothing seemed to faze him. We put in four different bids on four different houses before the bid on our new home was accepted. Each one required different pre-approval amounts, but Mike handled all of it and ensured that everything could be completed online without any complications. The only time we had to visit an office was when we finally signed for the house when we were finally in Washington.If you're in Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, or the surrounding area, and considering a mortgage through your bank, I highly recommend you speak with Mike first. He's a fantastic mortgage lender to work with. Also his deep understanding of the VA loan process made everything so much easier for us. He's very experienced working with military personnel and even knows the lingo which we did not expect, so you especially wanna work with him if you're a veteran!

Working with Mike Guild was an incredible experience! As a first-time homebuyer in a tough market like Seattle, I had many questions and uncertainties, but Mike's support and expertise made the entire process smooth and comfortable. What really stood out was Mike's exceptional communication. He was always just a call or message away. Even when he was briefly unavailable, he made sure to let me know when I could expect a response, which I greatly appreciated. Mike's ability to explain complex matters in simple terms made me feel confident and in control of my decisions. He took the time to ensure I understood every step, which was invaluable to me as someone going into home-ownership for the first time. Mike was also able to get my mortgage approved in just about a week which I was super impressed with. In the end I opted for a conventional owner occupied loan with 20% down over 30 years at a fixed rate. Mike really knew his stuff when it came to what option was best for me. If I ever need another mortgage in the future, there's no doubt I'd turn to Mike Guild. I can't recommend his services enough.

Quick shoutout to Mike Guild for helping me secure a conventional 30 Year Fixed home loan and making my first mortgage experience a smooth one. My realtor recommended him, and as this my first rodeo I had a truckload of questions but Mike was super patient with me. He took the time to explain everything, even the basic stuff I should've known but didn't. He really made me feel at ease about the whole process. The cool thing was how fast he got things done. Once I decided on using him, it felt like the mortgage got approved in a day or so. Seriously, this guy doesn't waste any time. Even when there were other offers in the mix, he moved things up the chain and handled it like a pro. I'd certainly be happy to hire Mike again in the future. He's everything you expect from a proficient mortgage lender. If you're thinking about homeownership in Seattle then Mike is a good lender to know

As first-time homebuyers, we had A LOT of questions, but Mike's expertise shone through with the way he was able to provide detailed explanations. There wasn't a single question that he didn't know the answer to. The way he broke everything down and made it easy for us to understand was invaluable.He was extremely responsive and quick to address urgent matters and had no issue with using various forms of communication. Whether it was over email, text or the phone, we always felt well informed.Our mortgage was approved within a couple of weeks of applying so everything moved pretty quick and we honestly couldn't be happier with the experience.If you are looking for a true professional to help navigate the mortgage process in Lynnwood, WA then Mike is the mortgage broker you want in your corner.

Mike at Caliber Home Loans was an incredible part of our home buying dream team! When my family and I decided to move across the country, we were scared and didn?t know where to start. Mike was always the calming presence in our conversations and was always willing to explain things in excruciating detail so my small mind could understand! 5 stars isn?t quite enough to rate our experience! Thank you, Mike for all of your help!

Mike and his team came to our rescue when our loan from previous lender fell apart at the last moment because of their mistakes. We were completely dejected. But Mike and his team were readily available to answer any of our questions and went above and beyond to get us our loan approved within the limited time we had before our closing date. They were also thorough in their vetting process without causing us much confusion. Overall, it was a very smooth process.

Hands down the best loan guy you will find!!! We have worked with Mike 3 times in the last two years. Bought 2 houses and refinanced. We refinanced because we could not find a place that fit what we needed in this market. I called him and said found a house we want can we make it happen even tho we just refinanced. I told him this is the house we need it and his words where we will make it happen. Mike and his team are 100% reliable and they communicate everything. I will always recommend Mike and his team when ever someone asks and when they don?t.Thank you Mike and team. You have a life long customer.

Caliber Home Loans has been such an amazing experience from start to finish. Mike and his Team are some of the best we have ever had the privilege to work with. Mike works diligently guiding and assisting where and when he can an gets it done!!! AAron Courts has to be one of the best we've ever met! Aaron was ALWAYS there when we needed him day or night or to just ease stress. He knew and felt he had our back through everything and would never let us falter. They are truly wonderful and I will never find another lender again. Thank you both so very much for the guidance and support. Finding a company that truly cares is few and far between these days and we are so grateful for ya'll. Those of you reading this contemplating if you should go with Caliber I say Unequivocally YES!!!!! You will be missing out and most probably regret not doing so.

My husband and I would not have been able to buy our great home without the help of Mike! We were so new to the process and had so many questions and Mike patiently guided us and thoroughly answered all our questions, no matter how oddball they were. What really helped us was how Mike broke down the numbers for each scenario and explained everything in easy-to-understand terms. Because of the extremely competitive buyer's market, we also made some early offers and Mike was on call to help with any loan related details or questions. We highly recommend Mike and his team!

Mike Guild is a cut above when it comes to his in depth knowledge of the lending world which translated to an outstanding experience. I was able to close on a property in under 30 days in Edmonds which was amazing within itself but the seamlessness and transparency during the entire process stood out. Communication was great from start to finish and even the agents involved were beyond impressed with his great demeanor, sense of urgency and overall approach. I can?t say enough about how happy I am to have met Mike but you don?t have to take my word on it, see for yourselves.

Mike helped me and my family get a home in a matter of a few days. He got me a substantially better rate than my previous broker and resulted in saving me more than $10,000 in closing costs. Not to mention a monthly rate of $1k less. The main part that made Mike stand out was just how personable and understanding he was. He went to bat for me anytime I needed help through the process. I cannot recommend anyone else in the business.

Mike and his team at On q Financial were life savers! After our previous lender fell through, a friend recommended Mike. Mike was able to get us pre approved within a few hours and we were able to place an offer on our dream home right away. He was able to coordinate with our real estate agent smoothly and was efficient and communicative throughout the whole process. Being first time homebuyers, we didn?t know what to expect and had little knowledge about the process. Mike was patient and educated us along the way. There were a few speed bumps along the way and Mike went above and beyond in guiding us and working together to resolve those issues. Although purchasing a home during a pandemic brought along its own challenges, Mike and his team did what they do best- helped first time home buyers purchase their new home :) We definitely recommend working with Mike !

On a personal level Mike from On Q Financial has great character and integrity about himself. When trying to buy my first home, I met with multiple loaners but Mike stood out because he genuinely cared about the well fare of his clients and teaches new buyers all the avenues they could take to buying a home to ensure they know buying a home is possible. When I got the chance to work with Mike this same type of character and integrity translated into his work. Mike partnered with myself and my buying agent to strategize on best ways to buy my first property with little money out-of-pocket this included teaching me how to run the numbers and what to consider before moving forward with a deal. Any time I had questions (and I always have questions) Mike was always open to providing answers and/or getting me connected to resources that could help. Mike has a sense of urgency and bias for action which is an important characteristic in a Seattle seller market and one of the biggest reason I was able to lock down such a great interest rate during this crazy time of uncertainty (2.875% thanks Mike for waking up early to call me and lock down this rate!!). Overall Mike is a lender I would recommend and plan to work with in the future.
