Guild Mortgage - Matt James

Guild Mortgage is one of the top independent mortgage lenders in the nation*, with knowledgeable residential loan officers in your community. Guild offers deep expertise and personalized service for new home purchases and refinancing to every kind of borrower. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, upgrading, downsizing, or investing in residential real estate, we have the loan to fit your life.

I ensure every client receives exceptional communication, advanced insights, and competitive rates. Our proactive, caring, and diligent approach is tailored to serve first-time homebuyers, military families, and savvy investors, builders and developers in Hampton Roads, Virginia, Coastal Carolina, California, and New Jersey. Growing up in a military family myself, I have a special place in my heart for VA buyers and understand their unique needs. Living in coastal communities has always been a joy for me, and I love everything they have to offer. Whether it's a day at the beach, a hike through scenic trails, or a round of golf (which I aspire to master one day!), I embrace the outdoor lifestyle wholeheartedly.
