Company Profile

Company History

Guild was founded in 1960 in San Diego to provide financing for homes built by American Housing Guild. The company established itself as an innovator from the start, bringing new possibilities for home ownership to thousands of families. Guild expanded nationwide in the 1970s and 1980s, with wide-ranging experience, including Red Carpet Realty, wholesale, retail, and timeshare business. During the 1980s and 1990s, with a team of twenty-eight programmers, Guild invested in an integrated information systems platform found typically only in large companies, while shifting focus to retail business in Western states, with entrepreneurial mobile offices, CalHFA, and correspondent business. Guild continues its purchase focus in the 1990s and 2000s, in programs where the company has decades of experience, including GNMA, FNMA, FHA, and bond programs. Guild celebrates fifty years of continuous production and servicing experience in 2010, remembers its roots and renews its dedication to serving the homebuyer of the future with easier access to mobile, fluid, on-demand information.
