Samantha Back
SVP of Mortgage Lending

I have been in the mortgage business for over 13 years. I am very fortunate to have found a career I am passionate about. Helping my clients accomplish their financial goals and helping make their home buying dreams come true is truly the most rewarding part of my career. A mortgage loan is one of the most significant financial endeavors most of us will undertake. Whether it's your first or a subsequent mortgage, helping you navigate smoothly through the process and finding the best loan program for you is my first priority. My goal is to always paint a clear picture of what to expect, and communicate clearly and promptly when problem-solving is required. Even if you don't qualify now, I will help you get on track to make it a reality in the future. I started my career in San Jose, Ca. and now live in the Sacramento area with my supportive and loving husband. We have two beautiful daughters, and our dog Patches. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending quality time with my family. I have helped clients all over California accomplish their purchase and refinance goals. Guaranteed Rate offers a wide array of loan programs such as: conventional, jumbo, FHA, VA, or USDA loan, just to name a few. Let me help you choose the right one for you. I'll be with you every step of the way from start to finish! I am fluent in English and Lao. I can be reached any time on my cell phone at 408.887.5030 or via email at samantha.back@rate.com. Test
