Guaranteed Rate Affinity has appointed Dino Guadagnino as regional vice president of reverse mortgages and Kevin Dilday as area sales manager for the Mid-Atlantic region. 

Guadagnino has specialized in reverse mortgages since 2003. In his new role, he will lead the expansion of its reverse program — bringing more education, opportunity and tools to agents, loan officers and senior clients. 

He will also work closely with traditional loan officers to help them get certified in reverse lending and uncover new opportunities in the reverse for-purchase space. 

“I am excited to join Guaranteed Rate Affinity as the regional reverse mortgage sales leader,” said Guadagnino. “GRA’s leadership team and their commitment to offering financial solutions to the senior population make this the ideal organization to grow the reverse mortgage program. We’re focused on building a team of reverse loan officers who align with our values and deliver the highest level of service to clients and partners.” 

Dilday, an industry veteran with over 30 years of experience, previously served as a regional manager at Guaranteed Rate Affinity before departing in 2022. 

“Guaranteed Rate Affinity’s marketing, tech and culture is something that cannot be replicated anywhere else,” said Dilday. “If you’re a self-sourced originator, this is the place you want to be. With all the tech tools we have and are continuing to enhance at the company, it couldn’t be a better time to join GRA.”
