The buying experience went very smoothly with Guaranteed Rate. After having a negative, stressful experience with a different company during the purchase of a previous house, I was amazed to see that it actually doesn't need to be that stressful. Guaranteed Rate was on top of everything. I didn't have to constantly check in to make sure things were getting done like I had to do with the other company. I felt confident that they were managing everything properly and in a timely manner. I'm very, very happy with my experience with Guaranteed Rate.

John L. | February 2019
I couldn’t be more thrilled with the comfort & ease that Jeff brought to this anxiety provoking process. I’m a first time home buyer & had no idea what I was doing. Jeff and his team were so caring, patient, clear, & kind moving this process forward. To be more specific, Jeff was able to quickly bring me from zero knowledge to a point where I was an active participant with all of the multiple stakeholders. He & his team have such mastery of this information that they could tell me what was negotiable, what to look out for, & where to be aggressive. I became a confident agent who could self advocate in this life changing experience. In addition, he was able to give me a rate that no one could be competitive with. I couldn't be more grateful to have a knowledgeable support & more importantly, a friend, in this mind-bending, high-stakes exercise. I’m an over-extended professional who didn't have time to devote to buying a house and they were so kind with reminders & prompts to keep things moving forward. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to refer people to Jeff and his team. In fact, I would go as far as saying, if you didn't go to Jeff first in this decision, you would be missing out.
Manish M. | January 2019
Harold was fantastic! Can’t say enough good things about him. Top notch!

Joe Smith was great! I will definitely be recommending him to my friends, family, and clients. He made the whole process so easy and stress free. His team was equally awesome, Harold Doldan, Minh Tran, & Kim Brizido! Everyone was quick to respond to questions, helpful, and very nice.

You guys made everything so convenient and easy for me to understand and process. The online system in particular helped me to submit all my documents efficiently. I'll be using Guaranteed Rate again!

The first time I got in touch with Joe he was on his way to the airport with his family. Even though this was probably an inopportune to speak, he calmly walked me through my options and told me how to get started. From there, we worked with Jeff who exhibited the same kind of commitment outside of business hours. Jeff was great at walking me through my options at all times and providing good guidance. Though being available on the weekends is nice, it was their commitment during the week that made the process easy. From start to finish the team was accommodating and very clear on what they needed from us. My first experience buying a home was not the greatest experience. I remember having to sign the same document more than once and being asked to provide material I had submitted long ago or multiple times already. This did not happen at Guaranteed Rate. The process was also seamless in transition from areas my wife was working on with Minh and nothing was lost in translation if I picked up where she left off. Great service, intelligent employees. Thank you! Joey

Jeffrey M. | 01/05/2017
All of the staff that worked with us were professional and helpful. They made our loan a easy experience . We had a loan with a bank and stopped buying a home because of unprofessional experience. In your company, one gentleman stood out among the others and that was Jeff Nelson. Working with him was an ease and what we did not know he took time to explain and help us to follow through. He is exceptional. Again everyone was of great help!

Harold Dolden and his team went above and beyond the call of duty. As a first time homeowner, I had a lot of questions and Harold always made me feel like a priority, taking time to explain things (often multiple times) and making himself available 24/7. I am truly grateful for his guidance, attention to detail and kindness throughout this process. I will 100% use Guaranteed Rate and Harold again in the future.

Joe Smith and his team are fantastic and made the entire process painless and as easy as could be. They are smart, extremely responsive, and overall top caliber. Feels like white glove service during the entire process. They work extremely well with our real estate agent and lawyers. We've used them on the purchase of 2 properties in Boston and a refinance at another property in RI. We will definitely use them again when the time comes.
