Our core values

At Guaranteed Rate Insurance, we believe that service is at the core of everything we do. Serving others is more than what we value, it represents our way of being and dictates how we interact with our customers, loan teams, each other, and ourselves. Serving is a privilege and an honor, it is the foundational element that we focus on to build our business of formidable size and strength.

We define service as the opportunity to earn the trust of others by striving for excellence while providing them something needed in a manner which maximizes the impact and contribution to their lives.

To Our Customers:

We put our customers first; their protection and well-being drive our decisions and actions.

To Our Loan Teams and Referral Partners:

We are an extension of the loan team; we support our loan teams and referral partners to provide an insurance offering that enhances the industry-leading mortgage experience.

To Each Other:

We invest in each other so that we accomplish more as a team than we can individually; we will win together, we will lose together, and any mistakes are opportunities for us to learn and grow.

To Ourselves:

We commit and hold ourselves accountable to making Guaranteed Rate Insurance an environment for our personal development and pursuit of excellence.
