Joe Long and his team were great throughout our mortgage process. They were timely and thorough and kept us educated and updated throughout. Joe made a suggestion we pursue a post-close occupancy on the sale of the home we were selling and that really made the timing of the finances and the physical move so much more convenient. Great to work with and enjoyable interactions every time.

As a realtor, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with numerous mortgage lenders, but my recent experience with The Joe Long Team has truly set a new standard of excellence. From the moment I first reached out to them to discuss a potential mutual client, it was evident that they were not just another mortgage lender; they were dedicated professionals committed to providing exceptional service to their clients. Their responsiveness and willingness to work closely with me to ensure a smooth and seamless process for our mutual clients were incredibly refreshing. Throughout our collaboration, The Joe Long Team demonstrated unparalleled expertise and attention to detail. They were amazing at keeping our clients informed every step of the way and addressing any concerns or questions promptly and effectively. What truly sets The Joe Long Team apart, however, is their genuine passion for helping people achieve their homeownership dreams. They approach each client with empathy, understanding their unique needs and circumstances, I am truly amazed at the service my client received. Working with The Joe Long Team has been an absolute pleasure, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of mortgage services. Their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction make them an invaluable partner for any realtor seeking to provide the best possible experience for their clients. I look forward to many more successful collaborations with The Joe Long Team in the future.

Joe from Guild crushed it after taking over the process from the previous lender with 11 days to close, we were being thrown to the wolves and being taken advantage of as first time home buyers. Joe was honest and communicated frequently, he didnt leave us hanging like the lying scum at CrossCountry Mortgage. A lower interest rate and lower monthly mortgage payment were a bonus! Bonus #2: we got a check back at closing, and still closed on the original date! My wife and I highly recommend Joe to everyone, you couldnt have a better experience after the nightmare we went through to figure out we needed to change lenders. Dont make the same mistake we did by going with whatever lender your real estate agent typically uses, just give Joe Long a call and you will never regret it! Thank you Joe & team!!!

Not only have I had many clients use Joe Long and his team over the years for home loans and rave about their experience, but they just helped with a loan for my own personal home purchase. I cannot recommend Joe and his team enough! It always stinks when you dont get updates....well Joes team called me each week, even if there were no updates to provide, just to check in and see if I had any questions or concerns. My rate lock was amazing and I felt respected and valued through out the entire process. If youre looking for a loan or a refi in the Madison area, do yourself a favor and reach out to Joe!

When I first met Joe, I was certain he was a kind and very considerste person, because thats what his job deemed necessary to be. They say when you meet someone new, that after 6 months they start to show you who they really are... Well, I worked with Joe for more than TWO YEARS, as my wife and I searched for our first home and I will personally attest to the fact that Joe just IS a kind, considerate and above all honest person. Guild is lucky to have him, and so are those who work with Guild Mortgage! Every member of his team that we interacted with was professional and patient as we navigated the twists and turns as first time home-buyers. By the end of our search we felt like we could come to Joe with any questions comfortably and hed have an honest answer, best practice, or sound advice. My only lament, is that we dont have another home to by so we can keep working with Joe! Well miss the interactions and insight.

Joe and his team are a truly incredible resource for home buyers and those looking to refinance. I have worked in real estate for over 23 years and Joe has consistently been one of my go-to experts in the field. He and his team always perform at the top of their game and are completely reliable in the advice and customer service they provide. Their pre-approval letters are well founded and based upon actual numbers provided by the customer AND verified - a crucial point. His in-depth knowledge about the intricacies of lending programs has been invaluable to me as a professional, and I always know I can rely on him and his team to get us to closing.

My husband and I recently worked with Joe Long and his team at Guild Mortgage and we are very happy with the experience. We bought our first home and are very stoked to move in! Originally we were working with a local bank during our home searching but kept finding that every seemingly great opportunity for homeownership was passing us buy as homes were going pretty quickly (in some cases overnight) but getting a response from the bank lender and trying to find time to meet in person with them just wasnt working. We were referred to Joe Long by our Realtors and as soon as we started to work with his team we were able to get information on homes we were interested in very quickly which made it so easy to determine whether it would be worth seeing certain homes or not. We were able to text Joe long, call him, video chat every now and then and didnt have to wait for weekdays to hear back. His team answered all of our questions and really did a great job making us feel comfortable throughout the whole process of buying our condo.

Joe and his team (Chelsea and Briana) were beyond amazing to work with!! This was my first house and I cant imagine things going any better. Whenever I had a question or concern, I got an answer typically within in minutes. Constant emails, phone calls and a text from Joe on closing date checking in which made me feel like I was part of the team and helped ease my anxiety. Overall, phenomenal experience!

Joe Long and his team were absolutely dynamite. Seriously amazing. They worked so fast, explained every step and every process perfectly and left me feeling like I was all of a sudden a lender expert. The team was kind and followed up extremely fast.

His team took all that stress and doubt away. Love this team.

Joe Long and the rest of the Guild Mortgage team made this process so much easier for me as I bought my first home. Joe explained everything so well and was a pleasure to work with. Kii Kasten was always readily available and responsive to my many questions during the quick closing. He even took a phone call with my dad to reassure him! Anamika Holke has done a great job checking in with me since I have moved in to make sure everything is on track. Buying a home, especially for the first time, can be a scary and overwhelming experience. Joe Longs team at Guild Mortgage was there every step of the way to make sure that the loan process went smoothly for me. I couldnt have gotten my home without my wonderful realtor, Tori Wagner (Keller Williams Realty) and the fantastic team at Guild Mortgage. I would highly recommend working with them!

Everyone that we worked with was not only helpful and knowledgeable, but easy to get in touch with when we had questions. We relied on their expertise to guide us, and still felt that the time was taken to make sure we understood the process every step of the way.

Ive now gotten pre-approved through Joe 3x but luckily this was finally my time to actually buy a house and move forward! Everything aligned. Like I told Joe, and I would tell anyone who needed to know, I would call Joe 8 times before Id think about going with anyone else. He is the right person for this. He is knowledgeable, professional, and wont steer you wrong. If youre looking for the best in the business, honest, someone who cares about you and will give it to you straight... Joe is the right person for you! You cant go wrong. He collects all the information upfront to make the back end process go smoothly. If you put in the work to get the information they need, they will put in the work to get you what you want.

Joe and his team of expertmortgage assistants walked me through the mortgage process keeping me informed every step of the way. Everyone was so patient and professional and in one month I was in closing. Thank you to all in the Monona office!

Joe and his team were great to work with!! I may not have been the easiest client with a kind of untraditional buying situation, but everyone was prompt in returning emails and or a phone call to help explain things and/or answer any of my several questions. So happy with my choice to work with Joe and his team, and would (and do) highly recommend them to anyone in the buying or refinance market.

Talk about first class service! Guild (Joe and his team) were very personable, knowledgeable and willing to work with me as much as possible to get the deal to go through. Joe has worked with a few of my colleagues in the past and they were all big fans so it was an easy choice to go with Guild. Their online portal for submitting documents was easy as ever and it made the home buying process that much less stressful. Thank you Guild team for getting me started on my investment journey and believing in me! I will definitely return to Guild for future investment purchases!

We were first time home buyers and couldn t have been happier with the service, guidance, and support we received from Joe Long, Anamika Holke, and Gina Van Thiel. Joe was extremely personable and knowledgeable and helped us find the best range for our budget. Anamika was extremely responsive, but I have to say that Gina went above and beyond time and time again for us. She called us every single week with updates and always responded within an hour if we had any questions or concerns. She even did this for us over a month after closing when we had an atypical question arise. Even though it was outside her wheelhouse, she moved quickly to get us information and assuage any concerns we had. I will recommend this lending team to anyone I know buying a house!

I worked with Joe, Anamika, and Kii on my refinance. They were all stellar. They made the process quick, easy, and knowledgeably answered any question I had.

Joe, Gina, and the Guild Mortgage crew are actual rockstars! When our mortgage application had fallen through with our first lender halfway through the process, Joe and his team stepped in and helped us get to the finish line with only two weeks left to close. The difference between them and our first lender was night and day. They were communicative, helpful, and compassionate every step of the way. I truly wish we had just gone with them to start. I will recommend any friends looking for the mortgage to give them a call in the future.

For not knowing what I was doing, I needed someone like Joe and his team. After speaking with friends and family, that have bought homes in the past, and explained to them the process in which the Guild team presented me with information and guided me through the whole process, many were jealous that they didnt have a mortgage company to help as much as I did. Joe and his team gave me a buying environment free of stress and anxiety. This is something I wont forget any time soon. Keep up the good work Guild Mortgage. Cheers!

Educated us and helped us along the journey of buying a home. Calmed my nerves and took extra time when I had what some would think are silly questions. Thank you to Joe and the entire Team for your work on our mortgage!

We had a phenomenal experience working with Joe and his team! After several rejected offers using our first lender our realtor recommended a list of lenders, with Joe at the top. We went through pre-approval with a couple and Joe and his team impressed us so much that we went with them. In the incredibly tough Madison market of Spring 2021 we have finally been able to get an accepted offer and close quickly thanks to Joes stellar reputation and customer service. A last minute misunderstanding on my part had me all in a tizzy after closing and Joe personally took the time to call after hours and kindly and patiently cleared things up. We have been so impressed and glad we went with Joes team! We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Joe and his team at Guild for your mortgage needs!

We had an amazing experience with Joes team at Guild Mortgage.As first time home buyers they really went above and beyond with us throughout the home buying process and proved to be a real asset in this competitive market. From pre-approval to closing the whole team was always responsive and super helpful answering all our questions.

This review is long overdue, but in a nutshell, Joe and his team are an outstanding choice for your mortgage professionals! As first time home buyers, we met Joe in late 2019, and it was immediately apparent that he and his staff care very deeply for the satisfaction of their clients. We had no shortage of questions but were consistently given clear answers and immediate help. Joe also referred us to our real estate agent who was absolutely awesome to work with. The house we ended up buying had a very short closing period (about one month), but Joes team managed everything, and we were able to move in right on time! As a client, we continue to receive monthly updates from him regarding the value of our house and how the market is doing, which is also very helpful. This is not a lender that simply takes your business and then forgets about you. Recently, we decided to refinance, and once more Joe and his staff were great in helping us achieve a lower interest rate. If you are looking for a diligent mortgage group to work with, Joe, Anamika, Jed, and Gina are a smart choice and highly recommended!

I inquired about a pre-approval for a home loan through the Joe Long team as I have a close family friend who works there. It was definitely the best decision I made. My first initial contact was with Anamika, who was extremely pleasant to work with. She helped me get set up in the Guild portal, and walked me through what steps would follow in the coming weeks and months. Next, I talked with Joe himself to go over the entire loan process. He went over some numbers regarding my loan given the information I had provided. Again, Joe was extremely helpful, patient and kind during our conversation. Once we had found our house, Guild was patient with us as we had a longer than usual closing window. However, they still kept me updated and were still working on everything behind the scenes. We were eventually able to move our closing date up, but Joe s team immediately began working and had us all set to go faster than originally projected. I worked with Kii for the final steps of our loan. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. He called and emailed numerous times leading up to our closing date, even on the day of to ensure all my questions were answered. Overall, the whole Joe Long team (Joe, Jed, Kii, Anamika, and Josh are who I had contact with) were extremely pleasant and they treat you with the highest respect. What I thought was going to be the most confusing process of my life was made incredibly simple. If you re in the market for a home loan and want a mortgage company that works with and for you, this is that team.

Working with a local lender had so many benefits that I was very thankful to learn about along the way, while working with Joe, instead of learning the hard way by realizing all the benefits I was missing out on! Joes team aside from being a local lender was especially great, from my insurance to the title company I heard nothing along the way except oh thank goodness youre working with Joe, they are awesome, everything is so easy when we have people working with Guild! . I found everyone on the team extremely friendly and ready to answer any of my questions, they definitely made me feel much more confident throughout the home buying process. I walked into it deciding on a whim that I wasnt going to rent anymore, so I knew NOTHING about the home buying process! I definitely would recommend them to anyone, especially first time homebuyers.

Great team to work with if you need financing for a new home. ~ Mike and Bridget

Im so grateful to Joe and his super star team, Anamika and Jed. From my very first call, to inquire about the mortgage approval process, my circumstances were handled in such a way that I wasnt at all concerned about making this happen long distance. Moving to Wisconsin from Michigan provided challenges that Joe, Anamika and Jed handled with patience, grace and expertise. Even now that Im settling into my new home, they still check in to see if I need any additional help. You really cant go wrong with the Joe Long team; I cant recommend them highly enough. Their attention to detail while making you feel like family is a huge comfort and will free up your time (and mental energy) to deal with the many other details of purchasing a new home that are on your to do list. From the weekly check in before closing to service after the sale - they offer complete customer care. Thanks so much Joe, Anamika and Jed.

It was a seamless process and he was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with our many questions, always communicating thoroughly and promptly and making sure we understood every detail and option. Again in 2016, we worked with Joe and Anamika when we sold our condo and purchased another home. Again, it was a seamless, stress-free process without any surprises along the way.

Working with Joe Long and his team was incredible. As first time home buyers, we were, for lack of a better word, terrified going into the home buying process, and we had no idea where to begin. Before my first meeting with Joe I worked with Anamika (love her!) to get all of the documents needed for them to fully evaluate where we were at financially. They have systems in place that make this process smooth as silk and so easy to understand. Then I met with Joe in person and right off the bat he told me You can do this. You CAN buy a home. I had been so worried that we wouldnt be able to and that we would be stuck in our apartment, and he immediately put me at ease. He is so personable and funny, and really helps you to relax and have the confidence in him and his team that they will take care of everything for you. He let me know what all of our options were and walked me through each of them to make sure that I was comfortable in my level of understanding, and so that I felt confident in making decisions. They provide weekly updates once you have an accepted offer and constantly make themselves available if you have any questions and are always happy to answer them. They never once made me feel stupid, which I really appreciated because I felt like a fish out of water before this process. The entire team took the time to get to know me and my husband, and I truly cannot say enough good things about them. I would recommend them a million times over.

I have worked with the folks from Waterstone on two mortgages and they were fantastic. Although the rates provided by another vendor were slightly lower, we still chose Waterstone. What I liked the most was that our mortgage officer called us, randomly, because he found a way to save us money by refinancing. I strongly recommend Waterstone.

This was my second home purchase but my first on my own. Although I am in the Milwaukee area, I was so impressed by the initial consultation that I chose to work with this group despite that fact that they were out of the Madison area. Joe and his team were fantastic at educating me and being honest about my options. The constant communication and updates were a relief and made the process fluid. I know my case was not the easiest as I had walked away from two properties before finding the home I decided to purchase. As compared to my first home purchase, it most definitely was a different experience. I was dealing with actual people who treated me like a person. I was very pleased with the experience and would highly recommend the Joe Long team!

Joe and everyone else at Waterstone made buying our first home a lot easier than we thought it would be. Joe explained everything during the application process in a thorough (and sometimes funny) manor, and made us feel super comfortable. He made sure we got the best loan and ratepossible, and that we understood everything about the loan. During underwriting, I communicated a lot with Jed and Rebecca, and both of them were wonderful while answering my millions of questions. Our closing with Joe took about 45 minutes, and was as smooth as could be. It was a really great experience working with Waterstone, and I will recommend them to all of my friends and family.

I met Joe Long in November, 2009. He was my mortgage broker when I purchased my townhome in Sun Prairie after being transferred from the Kansas City area. I must confess I was not a very pleasant or easy customer due to the climate of home lending requirements. Joe was always professional, never took my anxiety personally, and did an outstanding job to get me into my first home in Wisconsin. Recently, I decided to refinance my townhome and I chose Joe and his team. Joe and his team took GREAT care of me during my refinance. Joe and Jed exemplify professionalism. I trusted Joe to obtain the best mortgage rate, and my refinance experience went very smoothly. I highly recommend Joe Long for many reasons, especially for his outstanding work ethic! Waterstone Mortgage is lucky to have Joe and his team.

Joe truly cared, making sure I was comfortable with my monthly payments and answering my many questions. The communication from the office was great!

I would recommend Joe and Waterstone Mortgage to anyone.
