Rick Hodges

Rick Hodges joined Guardian Mortgage in 1994 and for more than 29 years he and Guardian have remained true to their core values–honesty and ethical behavior in dealing with customers and Realtors. Rick has a passion for working with people, and enjoys forming relationships with clients built on trust. In his 29 years with the company he has helped homeowners and homebuyers with one of the most complex decisions they face, financing a new home. Many of Rick’s customers are people he’s done three or four loans for, loans for not only them, but now, their children.

Hodges explains his devotion to the mortgage industry, “The most gratifying aspect of my job in when my customers call me to ask a question about their mortgage we closed two, three, five or more years ago. I appreciate it because that means they know I was there to help them when they financed their home and years later I’m still there to help.” He goes on to say, “My clients know not to hesitate to contact me should they have questions about their current mortgage, prequalification for a new mortgage or any other home-financing needs. When you treat people with Integrity and work hard for them, they know they can trust me to be their lender for life. As I approach One Hundred Billion in closed mortgage loans, I owe that success to my many repeat customers, people that know and count on me because I’m honest, committed and confident in solving their home loan needs and helpful in making the process smoother. “

Rick was extremely responsive but what made the experience great is when he proactively reached out to the realtor to describe our buying power and credit rating

Rick was available whenever we needed, and he always provided sound advice. He is extremely caring and truly wants what is best for his customers. I wish giving Rick higher than a 10/10 was an option because he is that great.

Rich and his team are the best in the business! I cannot say enough good things about my experience. I had planned to close all cash and get my loan afterwards, but Rick and his team were able to close my loan in 7 business days. The title company and both agents were astounded at how smoothly the closing went. They were professional and efficient. The communication was the best I have ever experienced. They are incredible!!!
