Pissed Consumer - Guild Mortgage

Spread across six complaints, Guild Mortgage is accused of causing over 10K in losses on Pissed Consumer.

As alleged on other review sites, customers cite the lack of professionalism and misleading practices as top complaints.

This review of an Atlanta office calls out an assistant by the name of Alec Norets. They claim massive delays in the underwriting, causing them to have to pay out of pocket to the sellers.
"Go with another mortgage company, and avoid Alec Norets, an assistant of Michael Dunn, in San Diego.His laziness and non-responsiveness to our calls and emails caused our closing to be delayed twice.
We had to pay the seller of the home hundreds of dollars because Alec Norets can't do his job efficiently and correctly. We had all of our paperwork in and ready to go for months in advance, and his laziness to get it to the underwriter delayed us and cost us.
Please do yourself a favor and don't get stuck with this company holding your loan.We had a much better experience with Mutual of Omaha for our first home loan."

 Another user posted about Ralph Ponce with Guild Mortgage in El Centro.

It is a long, but useful read if you are considering using Guild Mortgage, but here is an excerpt:

"So many things have happened in the middle of our buying process that we are ready to walk. I cannot believe what a nightmare this has been and how many errors have been made by Ralph Ponce of Guild Mortgage, El Centro. Terrible experience and he blames us for his mistakes and seems confused about everything. My suggestion if you have to use this company, have all conversations via email. Paper trails are good."

I have seen the suggestion of maintaining a paper trail a few times reading the reviews out there. This doesn't seem to be a complaint about Ralph Ponce, per say, but about the entire process and includes a lot of lost time and finger pointing.

  2. It’s very good post for loan equity. There are organizations that will let you access money in the amount of all around as long as you repay it in the guidelines with their repayment framework.

  3. I agree with the review above - Avoid using Alec Norets and Guild Mortgage if at all possible. Alec has completely dropped the ball on our file the day before closing. With less than 24 hours to go, he says that the appraisal showed that a CO detector was not installed. That is incorrect and on the appraiser. Alex waiting over 2 weeks to look at the appraisal and bring this to our attention is ridiculous. In addition, he is springing other last minute conditions on us that are completely unneeded and not standard. When trying to discuss them with him, it's apparent he does not know what's going on. Very disappointing experience.
