Good Business.
For your institution, and for your customers.
We provide you a golden opportunity by giving your customers great servicing.
If you want to assure that your mortgage customers receive caring, personalized and professional servicing, you’ll appreciate the way Guardian Mortgage does business. At Guardian, our goal is to help you see that your borrowers have a positive experience in every aspect of their mortgage financing. We are one of the few lenders in the country specializing in the origination and servicing of residential mortgages. Guardian lends “to the book,” which means there are fewer overlays that can drive up costs for the end borrower. As a result, you can confidently offer your customers low rates and excellent servicing for the duration of their mortgages. We believe these practices are good business for everyone.
