Jamie N. | Mar 2020
Things went pretty smoothly. There were a couple of issues where details didn't get communicated between everyone in the team and that created unnecessary headaches for me (information about gift money/letter, and the closing date changes in particular) Since this is the first time I've applied for a mortgage, I don't really have a reference point, so not sure how valuable this is.

Ronald R. | Oct 2019
Amir’s team did a fantastic job!
Asael C. | Sep 2019
The overall process was smooth, and all the staff I worked with were very responsive. My main point of feedback is that the estimates on the Closing Disclosure moved by over$20k between the time we were clear to close and the final values. Fortunately, the original estimate had a higher cash to close value, so we got it all back after closing, but that also meant I moved a lot more money than I needed to out of investments to prep the cash to close. I understand that there are always some small adjustments, but it shouldn't amount to $20k.
Brian Y. | Aug 2019
Guaranteed Rate Team was knowledgeable, professional, organized and patient.

Ryan G. | March 2019
Everything was seamless. I was able to use Amir and his team as a one stop shop for everything my wife and I needed to purchase our first home. They educated us on the loan process, helped find a realtor since we were out of town (who was awesome), and they handled all of the closing process with ease. Thank you, we couldn't be happier!
Bradley K. | March 2019
I worked with Amir Syed, Christian Brown, Samantha Schroeder, Amanda Dodge, Leslie Brown, Suzette Rose, and Megan Ater. These individuals were not only the kindest people, but the most helpful and caring. They were there to make sure my husband and I had a easy and great experience. They were very caring throughout the entire process and treated us like humans and not just another client. I would not only work with them all again but recommend them and Guaranteed Rate.
