“She was always proactive with updates, checked in consistently, and made sure I felt confident at every stage. Her knowledge and communication really stood out.”
I was buying a home locally and navigating the process during a pretty competitive market when I met Lori.
Like most buyers, I had a lot of questions and some uncertainty around the financing side. Especially understanding all the options, timelines, and what each step really meant.
Lori was incredible from start to finish. She took the time to clearly explain every part of the process in a way that actually made sense, which made a huge difference. She was always proactive with updates, checked in consistently, and made sure I felt confident at every stage. Her knowledge and communication really stood out to me and made me feel confident during the whole process.
Because of Lori’s guidance and attention to detail, everything went smoothly and efficiently. We were able to close successfully without any surprises, and I felt completely supported the entire time.
I absolutely recommend Lori to anyone! Especially first time buyers or anyone who wants a lender who is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making the process as smooth and stress free as possible. 10 out of 10 would use her again.
“She made the entire process incredibly easy and made sure we got the best rate out there. ... We couldn't have had a smoother experience, and it is truly because of her.”

She made the entire process incredibly easy and made sure we got the best rate out there. She made sure to communicate thoroughly throughout the process and was available whenever we needed her. She is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and you can tell how much she loves what she's doing. We couldn't have had a smoother experience, and it is truly because of her.

My family and I are military and stationed in South Korea. We were recommended Lori as our mortgage lender. She was so helpful, attentive and willing to work with our huge time difference of 15 hours. We had numerous phone conversations where she helped us not only with getting our application and documents submitted but she was also very personable and told us about the area and things specific to our family situation. I would recommend Guaranteed Rate Affinity and Lori Bautista to anyone looking for a new home in the Colorado Springs area!

“She is incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond. Our file wasn’t the simplest, but in the end, she made it all possible.”
Lori is more than a loan officer, she’s become a true friend. Her patience, something so rare these days, made the entire experience smooth and reassuring. She is incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure our refinance was completed successfully.
She carefully monitored interest rates and kept us informed every step of the way. Our file wasn’t the simplest, but in the end, she made it all possible.

“Lori Bautista was an outstanding help in purchasing our home. Lori is honest, dependable and extremely nice.”
Lori Bautista was an outstanding help in purchasing our home.
Lori is honest, dependable and extremely nice individual.
Due to my retirement status, she was able to inform me of ways us could use my IRA'S as more income allowing us to afford more house. Even speaking with my financial advisors, they stated that approach was affordable and made sense.
Within thirty days from choosing a house the final paperwork was completed.
Lori kept us informed of every step in the process. She made herself available to answer every question that we had in a more then (expected) timely manor.
I would definitely recommend Lori to any individual who is looking for a mortgage in the Colorado Springs area

Buying a new home with all the complexities involved is highly stressful especially if, like my husband and me, you are also moving to Colorado from another state! That's why we felt very fortunate to have Lori Bautista as our mortgage lender.

She is highly accessible and returned our calls, texts and emails promptly keeping us updated throughout the entire loan process. Lori is not only an extremely knowledgeable and professional mortgage consultant but she's also friendly, supportive and encouraging.

“Lori was an absolute saint to work with. ... Her professional attitude to further the industry and not just her own business is outstanding and I could not recommend her more.”
Lori was an absolute saint to work with. Unfortunately, due to our complicated situation in trying to obtain a USDA loan, she was unable to directly help us. However she spent a fair bit of her personal time looking up USDA regulations and license companies. Around 8:00 in the evening I got a text from her saying she found an individual who should be able to help us with our situation. Keep in mind, all this work was done with the knowledge that she would not receive any commission from this. She simply did it as a kind, caring individual trying to help someone out. Her professional attitude to further the industry and not just her own business is outstanding and I could not recommend her more.
“Lori was very involved and ensured that we understood everything that was happening.”
Throughout the loan process, we were constantly in the loop with where we were in the process. It was clear that everyone was working together to support us with our loan. Lori was very involved and ensured that we understood everything that was happening. She provided us with documents that broke down our possible mortgage payment and advised on how we would be able to bring down our mortgage insurance and our overall monthly payment. We felt supported throughout the whole process.
