Q&A with Sue Ann Guthman

What awards have you received in your field?

I was honored in 2012 through 2022 as a Mortgage Bankers Association of Georgia (MBAG) Gold Award recipient given to recognize loan originators who demonstrate excellence in mortgage banking via production, continuing education, professional ethics, and involvement with the association.
In 2022, I received an award for 10 consecutive years as a Gold Award Winner. I was also a recipient of the Top Gun Award in 2009, an award recognizing top-producing loan originators based on volume by the Georgia Association of Mortgage Professionals.

What makes you different than others in your profession?

My industry knowledge, communication, and responsiveness make the mortgage process pleasant and stress-free for both the clients and real estate agents. I have extensive experience in all programs and scenarios from first time home buyers, retired borrowers, borrowers looking to move up or scale down, borrowers building a home, or real estate investors. As a Mortgage Advisor, I can assist the borrower in finding the best loan program to meet their needs. I have expertise in all types of financing including Conventional, Jumbo, FHA, VA, USDA, GA Dream, SC Housing Programs, HomeReady, Home Possible, Investment, Construction to Permanent and Renovation loans.
I also lend in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Alabama, Texas and Tennessee, among several other states.

What do you enjoy doing on weekends?

I enjoy boating on Lake Keowee, hiking, playing Pickleball and spending time with family and friends.

What organizations have you been active in (career-related and nonprofit)?

I am part of the Downtown Merchants Association of Seneca, a member of both Oconee County and Clemson Chambers, an Affiliate Member of the Western Upstate Association of Realtors serving the Upstate of South Carolina, and an Affiliate Member of the Georgia Upstate Lakes Board of Realtors.

What is a typical day like for you? Describe it.

I respond quickly to calls, emails, and texts at all hours, including nights and weekends. Real estate moves quickly and I am there to assist whenever an agent or borrower needs assistance.

Do you have any skills or talents that most people don't know about?

I am learning to play the drums. It’s a great stress reliever.

Sue Ann and Laura were outstanding. They provided service that was above and beyond. Once the mortgage got ready to move towards closing, one of the team members did not display the same efficiency and customer service.
