Guild Mortgage named the Top Guaranteed Rural Housing Lender Champion by USDA

San Diego – June 17, 2024 – Guild Mortgage, a leading national independent mortgage lender, was recently named the Top Guaranteed Rural Housing Lender Champion in the Loan Origination category by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

USDA loans are designed to assist rural families and individuals with low-to-moderate income for their area. Through these loans, USDA provides 100% financing with reduced mortgage insurance premiums and below-market mortgage rates to help open the door to homeownership for rural Americans. Guild is dedicated to delivering the promise of home to buyers who live in or would like to purchase a primary residence in these defined rural areas.

“These rural areas are vital to our housing market and its incredibly important to Guild Mortgage that we help support those looking to purchase in rural regions and assist in helping them grow and thrive,” said David Battany, executive vice president of Capital Markets at Guild Mortgage. “This recognition is very meaningful and proof of Guild’s commitment and support of the USDA program.”

This is the second consecutive year Guild Mortgage has been recognized as a Top Guaranteed Rural Housing Lender by the USDA. For more information about USDA rural housing eligibility and requirements, visit Guild Mortgage.
