Our relationship with Guaranty Financial, Bill Bagley and Bob Lewis has existed
for over 10 years. During that time we financed over sixty million dollars in permanent
loans.
We have confidence they are able to obtain the best financing available; and,
because of their professional experience and concern for our best interest, we have
always felt comfortable with the transactions closed with Guaranty Financial.
Their honesty, integrity and ethics can never be questioned, and I would not hesitate
to recommend them to anyone needing real estate financing.

Our firm has dealt with Guaranty Financial and William Bagley for the last 20
years, and I have purchased over one hundred million dollars of multifamily
complexes during this time utilizing Guaranty Financial.
We have found Bill Bagley and his firm to be totally supportive, enabling us to get the
best financing possible at the best available rates. His support was not only limited to
the financing, but included help in all other areas, such as legal, municipal taxes,
accurate estimates of earnings and other areas of his expertise.
We have never considered anyone else, since we consider our success in part has
been obtained by our allegiance to our associate, Bill Bagley.
I would certainly recommend him to anyone who is interested in successful real
estate financing.

We recently refinanced one of our multifamily properties with Guaranty Financial.
The competency and professionalism of Mike Kent, Bill Bagley and Bob Lewis was
exceptional. We were very confident that the financing terms and conditions were in
our best interest and were very favorable in this market.
The honesty and integrity of all of the staff was beyond reproach and I would not
hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing commercial real estate financing.

Healthmark organizations have experienced excellent relationships with Mr. Bill
Bagley of Guaranty Financial, Inc. During the past six or seven years, Mr. Bagley of
GFI, arranged financing for the Healthmark Regional Medical Center through the
Federal Housing and Urban Development Program. This was a significant
accomplishment in that it was the first such HUD loan to close in the southeast in
35 years.
In consideration of the outstanding performance for the aforementioned project,
Mr. Bagley was later awarded another project and arranged the financing for a
companion project which was the development of a medical arts office building.
Healthmark Corporation and its subsidiaries will continue to use the services of
Mr. Bagley and Guaranty Financial. One can be confident in their professional
experience and knowledge of market conditions and be assured of their honesty,
integrity and ethical behavior.
My transactions have always been handled in an excellent manner and Bill goes the
extra mile to make sure you are comfortable with the process. I highly recommend
Bill Bagley and Guaranty Financial, Inc.
