San Diego, California – April 15, 2025 – Guild Mortgage, one of the nation’s leading independent mortgage lenders, is proud to have once again earned the top-ranking spot per CoreLogic as the entire state of Oregon and southwest Washington’s most popular lender.

Ranking as the number one direct purchase lender by volume in all of Oregon, as well as Clark and Cowlitz counties in Washington, the achievement is a testament to the combined work ethic and dedication of loan officers in the region. Homebuyers were not only satisfied with the quality of service they received during their mortgage experience but also enjoyed it enough to recommend the lender to neighbors and friends.

This is a repeat performance for the independent mortgage company, which captured the title of top direct purchase lender by volume in Oregon and Clark County, WA, as well as number one purchase lender overall in Cowlitz County, WA in 2023 and 2022. Guild Mortgage was also Oregon’s top purchase mortgage lender in 2021 based off total purchase loan amount. The rankings are published in CoreLogic reports for most loans and transactions annually.

“Being recognized as the #1 lender in Oregon and southwest Washington is a testament to our teams’ dedication and hard work for the ‘Promise of Home’ in the communities we live and serve in. This achievement means the world to us, as it reflects our commitment to excellence and our unwavering support for our communities,” said Justin Morris, Branch Manager in Salem, OR. “I am proud to be a part of such a great company that gives us the tools and programs to help so many families build generational wealth through homeownership.”

Guild Mortgage is honored to have earned the trust of so many communities in the Pacific Northwest and is devoted to delivering on its commitment to make homeownership attainable to more aspiring homebuyers in Oregon, Washington, and beyond.
