The process of securing a mortgage with the Gaylord-Hansen team was seamless and smooth. Bill is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and accessible. He provided resources to help me become a more informed homebuyer, and I really appreciated that. If I purchase another property in the Las Vegas area, Bill and Gaylord-Hansen team will be my go-to lender. I couldn't have asked for a better lender experience. Thanks Bill!”

They also have a great portal to upload all necessary documentation to help maintain data security. If I had more stars I would score the company higher. They helped us purchase a dream second home, and we couldn't be happier. I've worked with many other lenders in past, and these people are by far the best! I won't think twice before working with them again.”

In our previous home purchase, we had a horrible experience with our lender and were very apprehensive going forward. But everyone we worked with (especially Amanda & Asia) was professional, helpful, and always available! We felt supported every step of the way and everyone was just so kind and easy to work with! I would HIGHLY recommend this team to anyone going forward!!! We couldn't be more happy with the Gaylord-Hansen Mortgage Team!”

They are extremely attentive and kept me updated every step of the way, whether is was from cool video emails to responding to my evening questions. They got me a fantastic rate and made the process very painless, both times!”
