What is a Loan Officer?

At Guild, we have more than 1,100 loan officers. Have you ever wondered what a loan officer is or does? Great question! They work directly with homebuyers to guide them through the process. They’re also sometimes called mortgage bankers, home loan experts or loan originators. To help you to understand your financial options, your loan officer can walk you through an application and pull your credit report. Then, based on your specific profile, they can recommend the best loan to fit your needs, based on our product offerings. At Guild, loan officers are experts in home loans and in our offerings.
