Doug Jameson

Regional Vice President

Hi! I’m Doug Jameson, RVP of the Desert Mountain Region, where I manage the sales and production teams of branches throughout the states of Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico.

At Guild, I have served as a branch, area and district manager, and have helped open new branches in the region, growing sales to $1.65 billion annual production.

In my 30+ year career in the mortgage industry, I’ve served as the director of sales and the vice president of production, in addition to my time as an originator during which I funded more than $1 billion in loans.

Let’s talk about how our model of success can propel your career.

My approach is simple: it’s about truly understanding what matters most to each person in their career – whether it’s growth, stability, support, or new opportunities. I believe every professional deserves to feel fully supported and valued, and my role is to help them find a place where they can thrive.

Testimonials

Why Guild? Guild has so much to offer their Loan Officers - Everything from technology, a wide variety of products and programs, coaching, marketing…this list goes on. I’ve been with Guild for 5 ½ years. I’ve been in the mortgage business for 28 years. I can honestly say I am finally home and plan to retire here at Guild. The amount of support we, as loan officers receive, is 2nd to none – from the executives asking what they can do to help us in the field, to our OPS team going above and beyond to make sure EVERY loan closes on time! Guild’s coaching program, Elevate, is something to recognize as well. I never thought I would want or need to be in a coaching program. I’ve been in the business so long and thought I “knew” all I needed know to grow. I was so wrong! After joining Elevate Coaching, my volume doubled after only 6 months of being in the program. The coaches truly care about their students and their success! Join Guild and enroll in Elevate. You wont be disappointed!!
