Doug Jameson
Regional Vice President
Hi! I’m Doug Jameson, RVP of the Desert Mountain Region, where I manage the sales and production teams of branches throughout the states of Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. At Guild, I have served as a branch, area and district manager, and have helped open new branches in the region, growing sales to $1.65 billion annual production. In my 30+ year career in the mortgage industry, I’ve served as the director of sales and the vice president of production, in addition to my time as an originator during which I funded more than $1 billion in loans. Let’s talk about how our model of success can propel your career.
What we're all about
If you are looking for a company known for customer satisfaction and closing on time, Guild Mortgage delivers. Our loan officers close more loans and retain more customers by following a customer for life approach to lending. Not only do we make homeownership possible for first-time homebuyers, we want to fund their next home and the home after that. To accomplish this goal, our retention strategy provides all customers with Homebot after closing. We also monitor our servicing portfolio to predict when a past customer may be in the market for a loan and notify the original loan officer to follow up on the opportunity.
Customer retention tools
Expect a long-term vision and straightforward communication that embraces accountability at Guild Mortgage. We’ve had success through every economic cycle during our 60+ years in business and have employees who have been with us for over 20 years. They stay because Guild has what they need to be successful, from marketing resources, to competitive pricing, to the loan programs customers want, to predictable fulfillment. Guild Mortgage loan officers have everything they need to compete and win in today’s market. We are confident that you will do more business using Guild’s platform.
What you get with Guild
Guild invests in thorough onboarding, training, coaching and ongoing support resources for originators at any level, from those just starting out in the industry, to middle-tier producers to branch managers. Professional development is one of our core values, so instead of contracting with third-party coaching services, we developed our own peer-to-peer coaching, featuring top loan officers and the tools we use every day.

Managers! Ask about LIFT coaching and peer support designed to build strong sales teams
Instead of working in silos, Ops and Sales collaborate constantly. We hold a monthly regional update call, and also hold smaller branch-sized and branch-specific calls where our Ops leaders discuss the specific needs of local sales teams.
We feel that Ops fulfillment should be local, and not centralized. Our loan officers enjoy three operations centers, one for each state in our region. This means fulfillment is being lead by those who understand the nuance within each state. The underwriting, closing and processing leadership all roll up to the regional leadership team, not a national one.

Testimonials
Why Guild? Guild has so much to offer their Loan Officers - Everything from technology, a wide variety of products and programs, coaching, marketing…this list goes on. I’ve been with Guild for 5 ½ years. I’ve been in the mortgage business for 28 years. I can honestly say I am finally home and plan to retire here at Guild. The amount of support we, as loan officers receive, is 2nd to none – from the executives asking what they can do to help us in the field, to our OPS team going above and beyond to make sure EVERY loan closes on time! Guild’s coaching program, Elevate, is something to recognize as well. I never thought I would want or need to be in a coaching program. I’ve been in the business so long and thought I “knew” all I needed know to grow. I was so wrong! After joining Elevate Coaching, my volume doubled after only 6 months of being in the program. The coaches truly care about their students and their success! Join Guild and enroll in Elevate. You wont be disappointed!!
