About Fred Chamberlin and Guild Mortgage Company:
I have been in the mortgage business for over 20 years and working in the Eugene/Springfield area for more than 15 years before relocating to Oak Harbor WA. I am a native Oregonian and a specialist in Government Lending Products. I am a Vietnam era veteran and work hard for my comrades in arms to help them find suitable financing. At Guild Mortgage Company, we are not just concerned with placing you in a loan; we are concerned with matching your needs with the right loan at the right price. I can currently offer loans in Oregon and Washington. NMLS 3274 WA-CL 3274/MLO 271072 I am available to meet with people almost anytime, weekday or weekend. The thing I sell is my time and my knowledge.

Areas of Expertise
I am a government loan specialist. I was doing FHA loans when everyone else was promoting sub-prime loans because sub-prime was easier. I work with all phases of FHA, purchase and refinance. With the FHA reverse mortgages for purchases and the exciting programs on tap for FHA as part of President Obama’s housing program, this will be an interesting time in mortgage lending. The FHA loan limit for Island County is currently at $381,250 for single family residences. Cash out refinances are available up to 85% loan to value.
I also offer a Streamline FHA 203K that is ideal for bank owned and foreclosed properties. It allows repairs to be done after closing. This program works for purchase or refinance transactions.This is a brokered program and demands additional work and time.
I also highly promote VA loans for those that qualify. With the new requirements, this means that only 3 months active duty are required to qualify for an VA loan. These are available with no down payment up to $417,000. Cash out refinances are available up to 90% loan to value. The only other true 100% purchase product at this time is the USDA Rural Guaranteed Loan program. This is income and location driven with most homes in Island County qualifying. Give me a call and we can qualify your income and discuss areas this is available.
I also like closing easy conforming loans as a change of pace. LOL
I also offer training for Realtors in several areas of mortgage lending. One of my most requested training is in FHA lending. My PowerPoint and question and answer delivery has been very well received.
Testimonial
In my 15 years of involvement in the real estate industry, I have worked with a number of banks, mortgage companies and lenders. My most recent transaction with Fred Chamberlin was truly a pleasure from start to finish. Sometimes working with first time home buyers can be a challenge, but Fred’s years of mortgage experience coupled with his knowledge of the current market, his ability to offer a full range of products and programs and his commitment to make every transaction a successful one is why Fred is always my first call when working with new buyers. I would be happy to chat more – give me a call: 541-579-LORI.

I chose Fred because of his depth of knowledge regarding FHA and government mortgage loans. Other brokers were unable to navigate the complexities of government loans at a time when all banks were making it tough to get loans regardless of a client’s good credit. Fred always answered my questions in a timely manner and never passed the complexity of the process on to me. Furthermore, he always kept a positive attitude and sense of humor, making it easier on all involved!
