Good advice, walking us thru each step of the process, and providing options. He and his team were every mindful of the schedule and keeping us aware of what we needed to do and when. The e-signiture process worked well, just a lot of documents to review and sign. Mark and his his team were always available, even on Saturday mornings or late Saturday afternoon. They were very patient with all our questions. It was a pleasure working with them. This is our 2nd mortgage thru Guardian Mortgage, although the 1st was over 30 years. Thank you for helping us on this home.

Everything about the customer service we received was top notch! Mark was very professional yet we felt like we were working through this crazy process with a friend! Almost, and I stress almost, makes me want to buy another home😳since the process was made so much better with the patience and understanding everyone we interacted with had for us. Can’t say enough great things!
