Guild Mortgage - Chris Yeakel N Creek Pkwy, Bothell

Chris Yeakel has been phenomenal to work with! From the beginning when we first met to go over the numbers, Chris guided us with his team every step of the way! My wife and I thought it would take 8-10 years to purchase a home and we have been able to get into a home in less than a year because of Chris’s expertise along the way. Being first-time home buyers, we had no idea what we were doing, but Chris was available to answer all our questions and his team kept in contact with us to make the process super easy and smooth. We could not be happier with our experience with Chris and Guild Mortgage, THANK YOU for helping our dreams come true.

Chris and his team have been amazing to work with! Chris stayed in touch every step of the way and he was always available to answer any questions. What I appreciated the most was he was able to make the process of buying our second home stress free! I know that we’ll be choosing to work him again in the future and I’ll be recommending him to anyone and everyone we know who’s looking for a great and reliable mortgage team. Thank you to team Yeakel for making our dream of living at the ocean a reality!

Chris was by far one of the best lenders I’ve worked with as a real estate broker. Our client had some tough competition in the market for 8 months and we were strategizing with Chris to ensure we were in a solid position to get the best fit for our client. He was available at nearly all hours to provide us with specific pre-approval letters and took initiative to call each Seller’s agent we made offers on to convey how financially sound our client was. Although it took us a while to find the right fit at the right price, each Sellers agent called me to say how great Chris was at selling the Buyer and his team. He definitely made a fan out of me and many other agents in this market. You want a lender like Chris that is going to guide you with making the best financial decision and build trust and confidence with agents when presenting an offer. I can’t wait to work with Chris again.

Chris was friendly and straight forward to work with. He guided me through the refinance process and made it super easy for me to secure a lower rate. He even took some of his own free time to ensure I felt good about moving forward in the process Would definitely work with him again.

Chris Yeakel is a hard working, honest professional that always made us feel like we were a top priority. He was clear and consistent with his communication from the beginning of the process while we were getting pre-approved, to the day of closing on our new home. Chris always went above and beyond for us when we were submitting offers by getting pre-approval letters over to us even on the weekends and by taking the time to call listing agents on our behalf! We always felt prepared and aware of what was going on during the home purchase process too once we were under contract which was such a blessing. We wouldn’t want anyone else by our side. We are so grateful he was our lender during the purchase of our first home!

After having a not so great experience with Bank of America, Chris Yeakel was recommended to me by my realtor. I knew if I wanted to compete with the large # of buyers in the Seattle market, I needed someone who was very active and responsive. My experience with Chris was just that. He was very responsive, helpful, and worked through the early hurdles to get my loan approved, and at a great rate. Him and Guild Mortgage was one of the reasons our offer was accepted, as we set ourselves apart by being able to commit to a very aggressive closing date. I had a great experience with Chris and would recommend him to anyone.

Chris and his team were fantastic to work with! Moving from out of state, my husband and I were coming into a new and extremely competitive market for buyers. Chris helped us get everything sorted so we were approved and ready to go before we even looked at the first house! Chris is a true professional, quickly answered all of our many questions and even reached out to us when he saw possible changes in the market - he didn't want to wait. We felt genuinely cared for as clients. We closed on our new home in 21 days, and during the holidays too! And he made it happen. We couldn't have asked for a better loan officer to work with. He was recommended to us and we are happy to recommend him as well!

Can’t say enough good things about Chris.. He went to bat for me multiple times to make sure I got the best rate for my investment and it ended up better than what I was hoping for best case. On top of that the whole process was accompanied with flawless communication. I did shop around and didn’t feel anywhere near the same comfort with anyone else. Chris made it unquestionable on who would offer the best service. I really don’t have the words. He is in the game 100% from start to finish and with this current market, that is an invaluable trait to have in your corner. He also provided a huge network of people that helped with every other aspect of the home buying process. This was truly effortless on my part.

Guild Mortgage Company is a great mortgage company. My parents have used them for years, but what really set them apart for me, and the reason why I chose to trust them with my home loan purchase was Chris Yeakel. He is hands down the most attentive, helpful, and caring mortgage agent. Chris went above and beyond to get me to a place where I could actually qualify for a mortgage and worked with me every step of the way from pre-approval to funding my first home. I've already recommended him to my sister, who is starting her journey to purchase a home. I would recommend Chis for anyone looking for an easy and stress-free experience.

As an agent, Chris does amazing work for my buyers. He is incredibly sharp, responsive, and patient. If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares and will spend the time with you, this is your guy! And especially in such a cut-throat market as we have now, having a dedicated loan officer, like Chris, can be all the difference between securing a home or not.

Chris went above and beyond to assist with our home loan, and hung in there with us many months until we found the right place. He's patient and always made time for our calls. He even wrote an offer letter while he waited to board a plane! A+++ for Professionalism and also a genuinely nice person. Thanks, Chris!

Simply put, Chris offered us the best rates we could find, and excellent counsel. As a first time purchaser I would recommend him to others looking for a guide through the process without hesitation. He was consistently readily available throughout the whole process. We feel we got lucky to have Chris on our team!
