RESTON, VA, December 12, 2018 - Guidance Residential, the nation's largest Islamic home financing provider, today announced that Chief Executive
Officer and President Khaled Elsayed has been awarded the 2018 Vanguard Award by HousingWire.
The fourth annual Vanguard award ceremony recognizes outstanding leaders in the mortgage industry who have a remarkable ability to lead, motivate and inspire their employees
while utilizing their resources to solve problems and drive innovation in their respective areas in the industry.
"Everyone at Guidance is truly honored to be recognized for this coveted award. We are proud of our progressive thinking and forward looking management team, and associates,"
said Khaled Elsayed. "Good companies talk about ideas, great companies bring those ideas to life, and that takes great teams. Our team proudly provides a faith based product
that helps an underserved consumer achieve the American dream of homeownership without compromising their values."
Mr. Elsayed was honored for utilizing his decades of experience in both the home financing industry as well as Islamic finance to provide a singular vision for Guidance
Residential. Under his leadership, Guidance Residential has funded over $5 billion in Islamic home financing in the U.S., serving over 20,000 households in over 33 states.
"As the Vanguards award program continues to grow and to be more successful, the entry point gets tighter," said Jacob Gaffney, HousingWire Editor-in-Chief. "These winners
are truly the best Vanguards in the mortgage finance industry, and they all deserve the highest honor in the space."
In reference to a newly launched affiliate Guidance Home Services, the preferred referral platform for Guidance Residential
home buyers, Mr. Elsayed added, "and while giant realty companies are busy thinking about how they can disrupt the Realtor business, we are embracing the entrepreneurial spirit
of real estate agents, and helping them maintain their independence by partnering up with them to provide buyers with a more streamlined process so that the journey towards home
ownership is enjoyable for all."
