Guardian Mortgage

Guardian Mortgage Company began in 1965 when an enterprising young man of common sense and uncommon smarts had a better idea. While building homes in Grand Blanc, Michigan, our founder Jack Sweet saw firsthand there was an opportunity to provide a better mortgage experience for homebuyers. Jack believed most home mortgage lenders were missing the mark on customer service. He wanted to treat customers the way he would want to be treated, by offering advice on which loan options best fit their needs and walking them through each step of the home loan process.

So, Jack set out to create a better kind of mortgage company: one built on integrity, superior customer service, and mutual trust. The way Jack saw it was that customers would not only come back again and again if they were treated right, but also they would refer their families and friends.

Guardian Mortgage flourished. Customers appreciated the respectful treatment, honesty and sound advice Guardian offered them. As Jack had predicted, they spread the word far and wide about a different kind of home mortgage company.

Guardian Mortgage Company Today
Today, Guardian Mortgage has offices in Michigan, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas with over 20,000 satisfied customers. But the foundation upon which Jack Sweet built the company has remained unchanged for more than 50 years. Despite the world’s financial turbulence and the quick-fix mentality of other mortgage companies and home mortgage lenders, Guardian has remained true to its guiding principles of honesty and integrity. Conducting business today the same responsible and respectable way we have always done.
