My wife and I have done purchases and re-fi's with others but after our experience with Garrit, "Team Mcguire" will be our only source for home finance in the future. Garrit has everything you would want in a loan officer. *Proactive - He really got to know our situation, researched and told us what was truly best for us do. Basically he did more than get us what we asked for he exceeded our expectations and got us a rate and closing costs that were far better than we expected. *Knowledgeable and Experienced - I am one of those internet research type of guys and I have to tell you I have been researching a re-fi for our house for about 2 years now. I talk circles around most big bank agents that have approached me in the past. Garrit however was another level and was very eager to not just tell me how it is but to take the time to make me truly understand how everything works and the different options available. *Upfront and honest - Not much to elaborate here except that Garrit tells it like it is, but always from a positive angle and never from a viewpoint of defeat. An example would be something like a credit issue.... Garrit doesn't run, he gives you the facts and puts you on the track to repair and achieving a goal of financing (in our case re-fi). *Fun - Just a good guy to be around... one of the few people I have met who can maintain the highest levels of professionalism balanced with a positive, fun and energetic attitude. My wife and I could go on and on here... but we will just leave you with the following. If you are buying or re-financing in California take the time to contact Garrit McGuire at Academy Mortgage... you wont regret the decision. Paul and Heather Everett Livermore, Ca. read more

Garrit went above and beyond our expectations of a lending officer. My husband just got out of the military so long story short, our financing fell through with our first lender while we were already a week in escrow, that's when our realtor referred us to Garrit. Garrit made the loan process so easy for us and still kept our timeline and close date from the beginning. I would recommend he and his team to anyone I know and definitely plan on using them in the future! read more

Had a great experience when working with Garrit. Walked us through the process and provided guidance when in need. Very understanding in all aspects, personable, easy to talk to, and down to earth. read more

Garrit is FANTASTIC! We had to fire our previous lender when buying our first home because he took to long to submit our paperwork and we almost lost the house we wanted. Garrit was the seller's lender of choice so we went with him to expedite the deal, and that he did! We closed so quickly and just with the time constraints on our contract. He was very patient with us, actually told us what each item was on our paperowrk and what it meant which meant a lot since we were first-time homebuyers. I would recommend him to anyone! We never met until the day of but we kept in touch through email. He's a quick responder and I never felt like any of our time was wasted. We got the house because of his great work! read more

If I could I would give him a 0 and I wish I had all the time to tell you all how terrible it was working with him. My fiance and I were finally able to close out on our home through academy. Today but were ghosted by garret from the beginning of our initial process. He is helpful in the beginning but eventually his true colors come out. He is not prompt, will not get back to you in a timely manner and he never took the time to call my fiance and I back. Its been 4 months. Please don't work with this guy especially with something so precious and serious like a homebuying process. Save yourself !!! read more

Straightforward, honest loan agent. He will do everything he can to serve the homebuyers' best interests.

Garrit is the man for your home loan necessities. Garrit and his team have been helpful throughout the process and i probably sent him hundreds of emails & he would respond back within a day or two. I would send him emails late at night and he would respond right away. He is very detail oriented and he would explain everything to you in detail. To keep in short, he wont leave you hanging and will go above and beyond to help you. read more

Without my Dream Team including Garrit McGuire we wouldn't have made it through our complicated process in one piece. He got things done in RECORD time despite a crazy string of 5 contingencies complicating my loan. I can't praise him and his team enough for the wonderful communication, critical updates to all involved parties, and kindness and concern for a fast completion. I will recommend him to any and all about to enter the process. A thousand thanks, Garrit! read more

As 1st time home buyers, the process can get very confusing and overwhelming. There are so many terminologies you need to know, tons of reading, and research to do, numbers you need to deal with, & the list goes on..... I remember walking into the Academy Mortgage's office, Garrit was there right away willing to help. We were in a hurry to reserve a certain lot at Atherton Homes because we really wanted that area. He helped us get preapproved right away in just a few days. Then voila! we got the lot we wanted. During the waiting process to build the house & getting approved for the loan, he would constantly update us. We kept on emailing him too for random questions and he would reply within less than 24hrs. We had a few requests as well regarding our loan & he made it happened! During the signing, he guided us through the confusing paperworks, happily explained what we needed to know, answered all of our questions, and gave us some tips. He's excellent! Garrit really helped us throughout the home buying process from the beginning and even after we closed. Thanks Garrit for making our home buying experience super pleasant. read more

We used Garrit McGuire for a Mortgage loam during a very stressful time. He and his team were not only compassionate but extremely helpful. The loan process was completely painless. We will use Garrit for for all our loan needs. read more

Garrit was great to work with. We felt that he was honest and straightforward. We felt comfortable asking him questions and felt that he had our best interests in mind. read more

Called this guy because he had great reviews. Explained my bad experiences with other lenders, sent him all the info he requested and he never responded to me. Don't know if I was approved or not, I should have been because another lender ran my credit/income and said I was golden. It's not that hard to call someone back. If you can't help me, just let me know. read more

Awesome working with Garrit and the whole Academy Mortgage team! This was my second time around going to Garrit and this time was just as pleasant as the first. He made it a point to cater to my needs and provided me with valuable information on various programs which made me feel very comfortable which is a major key in the home buying process. His knowledge, responsiveness, and overall helpfulness is why I plan to go to Garrit now and for any plans in the near future! read more
