What Mortgage Pros are Saying

See how mortgage teams are using Guideline Buddy to cut turn times, reduce errors, and get more loans across the finish line faster and more efficiently.

I love this whole thing! I’ve been an underwriter for 25 years and currently serve as a scenario specialist. Guideline Buddy has helped me research some of the most complicated scenarios and provide well thought out feedback to get loans structured. I love that it provides the guideline link. That is most helpful.

Felicia

Underwriter

As a Branch Manager, I’ve encountered my share of challenging files, but Guideline Buddy was a game-changer. When an underwriter was ready to deny a complex loan, I turned to Guideline Buddy for clarity on specific FHA guidelines. The platform’s precise and reliable information allowed me to present a compelling case, and the underwriter ultimately approved the loan. Without Guideline Buddy, this would have been a denial. It’s an invaluable tool that every loan officer should have in their arsenal.

Tanner

Branch Manager

Finally, AI that loan officers can actually use! I just discovered Guideline Buddy, an AI tool that’s free for mortgage loan officers! I’ve used it on complex files, and it’s been a game-changer. Of course, we still double-check, but the more you use it, the smarter it gets—just like ChatGPT. This is AI built for us loan officers. Don’t miss out!

David

CEO

Guideline Buddy makes it easier for me to support my team. When they come to me with underwriting questions, I can use Guideline Buddy to quickly find the answers they need. It saves me time, reduces mistakes, and helps my team close more deals.

Sandra

President

Just wanted to let you know that I have been LOVING my time with Guideline Buddy. I have played around with 3 totally different scenarios and cutting/pasting all the intel into my files.

Michelle B

Agent called me (late) last night and asked about DSCR. $2.5M Investor and have a call with him hopefully today, this makes life 1,000% more efficient.

Brad S
