After going through hoops and hurdles with a different lender I seemed out a loan from guaranteed rate. They were upfront about everything from the beginning. The communication was clear and response time for questions was always timely. It was helpful to know all the team members and their role. Guaranteed Rate was able to seal the deal and Approve our loan within 14 days and we closed with 22. The whole experience was great from start to finish on the purchase of our first home.My entire...

This is the 8th or 9th time I've worked with GR. Larry is an amazing professional, and his team is the best. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my lending needs. I recommend all my friends, family & fellow investors to work with him.

I was fortunate to find Larry Steinway and his team when I started my real estate investing business four years ago. From the first transaction to the most recent, his team has never ceased to impress me with their friendly approach, knowledge of the system, and tools that make it easy for me to submit the required paperwork. They are always available to answer questions and I never felt out-of-touch with the process. I plan to grow my portfolio and will continue to work with Larry and his...
Atul K. | March 2019
This must my 10th loan with GR. I've been working with Larry Steinway and his team for many years because they do the job right, and they make it simple for me. My deals aren't always the biggest, but they treat every deal as though it's a million-dollar transaction. That makes me feel good about doing business with GR.
Atul K. | March 2019
The online upload of forms made it easier and faster to complete the application process. Leveraging technology for requirements and e-signatures is the right way to go!

Dmitry S. | December 2018
I've known Larry Steinway since we moved to Chicago in 2002. He's fantastic at his job and a great person! He and his team at Guaranteed Rate are personable, responsive, and take the angst out of the mortgage/refinance process!
Steven W. | December 2018
Larry and his team were great every step of the way! We would definitely use Larry (and highly recommend him to friends and family) in the future.

Larry Steinway and the entire team made getting a mortgage as "painless as possible." Thanks to all the team members for their hard work.
Kim C. | September 2018
Communication is what you do well. You're responsive, clear and concise. I appreciate that.
Anthony R. | August 2018
Larry's team has helped me close three more deals in the last 2 months. A couple of them were tough, and we were up against the wire, but his team worked overtime to be sure we didn't miss our closings. I will continue working with Larry and his team because I know they put my best interest first, and I trust their judgment.
Atul K. | July 2018
Larry and his team were great! We had a seamless loan experience, and Larry kept in touch every step of the way. I would recommend Larry to any of our friends. Thank you!!!!

William Q. - May | 2018
Regarding question #2, I would have selected Strongly Agree, but my case was a bit tricky, and there was a time when things may not have worked out...but in the end they did! SO I think the word "easy" made the question a 4. I am grateful to Guaranteed Rate and the team I worked with for their in-depth knowledge of loan programs that made it possible for me to get a loan. I had a tricky set of circumstances.
Angela S. - April | 2018
Longer rate lock period, just over two months, and a highly competitive rate sealed the deal. However, continuous, always available support from Larry's team is what made the process easy and made me feel at ease through the process. For a first-time home buyer I really don't see any other way to get a mortgage.
Andrew A. - May | 2018
Larry Steinway and his team jumped through some pretty high hoops to make my loan happen. Working with Guaranteed Rate felt like working with family...everyone had your back and we all worked closely as a team to figure out the next steps. Not an easy loan scenario, but we made it happen!
Angela S. - March | 2018
Boy, am I glad my realtor recommended Guaranteed Rate! Everything about the process was top notch. Both Larry Steinway's team and the technology (website) worked like a Swiss watch. Every email was well crafted, every request was timely and reasonable, every update was provided when it was supposed to. Larry called me on a Sunday (!) and was able to lock my rate on that very day. If you like hassles and headaches, go somewhere else. If you don't, do yourself a favor and call Larry.
Anton G. | January 2018
Larry Steinway and his entire team are ROCKSTARS! If you are looking for a company that is Veteran friendly and knowledgeable about VA home loans this is definitely the team for you! Guaranteed Rate completed our VA home loan from start to closing in 8 business days! Larry can get you the best interest rates around and his entire team goes the extra mile to make the process as easy as possible. As first time homebuyers with little knowledge of the entire process Larry and his team were...
Caitlin S. - Plainfield, IL | MAY 2017
Larry and his team are the best!! They completed VA home loan funding in 8 business days from start to finish! Guaranteed Rate made a miracle happen with our home loan process and are complete rockstars! We are forever grateful for their hard work, diligence and peace of mind they gave us through the entire process!
James G. – 5/24/2017
Larry Steinway and his team were top notch. My attorney even commented on how smooth the closing was, and attributed it to Larry and his team's responsiveness and organization. Would highly recommend!
Curt M. | 04/27/2017
Larry made it easy for us to understand the loan process from start to finish. The whole team was quick to respond to any question we had at any point in the process. We were shocked at the ease of our whole process and can't thank Larry and his team enough for making our first house a reality.
Zachary K. | 04/20/2017
Larry Steinway and his team are absolutely incredible. They made the process so easy, and walked me through every step. Larry himself is accessible almost 24/7 265, which really shows his commitment to his customers. Thanks for a great experience. As an investor, I will be coming back over and over again.
Atul K- 1/27/17

Your team was absolutely amazing! We had such a great experience in what could have been a very stressful home purchase and it's all because of the great group of people under your leadership at Guaranteed Rate.
THANK YOU! Keep up the good work! Your whole team is #1 in our book.
Jane and Mark - 12/16
There were a number of unexpected "bumps" in the road, plus a major scare two weeks before the anticipated closing. Guaranteed Rate did everything possible to navigate the troubled waters and provided excellent guidance and support throughout the entire process.
Mark A. - Skokie, IL - 12/5/2016
Very responsive, easy to communicate with. Thank you Larry and team.
Scott E.-- Highland Park, IL- 11/16
Larry Steinway was (once again) fantastic to work with. The process of refinancing was extremely easy and quick. At times I completely forgot that something as important as obtaining a loan was even happening in my life, which is a testament to how well Guaranteed Rate and Larry go about their business. The docusign system is also a life saver. I couldn't imagine going back to the system of printing/signing/scanning important documents. Overall, I have and will continue to recommend Guaranteed...
Nathaniel H. -Highland Park, IL |AUG 2016
Larry Steinway was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He gave me his personal cell phone number, and was always available by phone to answer questions, no matter how simple or complex. It's my first mortgage as an investor, and Larry's team walked me through the entire process. I have found my partners for all future loans and mortgages. Thanks Larry!
Atul K.-- Buffalo Grove- 11/2016
Larry Steinway was absolutely top-notch and made the process so easy. I appreciate all of his hard work and dedication to making our refinance so simple.

Larry & team were great to work with. Very responsive & very customer focused.
Frank S. -Libertyville, IL |AUG 2016
Larry and his staff were great again!!!! He knew our situation and worked on the perfect refi solution that could work for me and my family. Being in Chicago our taxes went up huge and with Larry's help he lowered our payments even with an escrow to cover our taxes.
Joe W.
We proposed a very aggressive close schedule, and Larry Steinway and his team accepted the challenge. Together, we flew through the process from application to close in only three weeks! Constant and clear communication from Larry kept us up to date and on track. We appreciate all the hard work from so many people, and will recommend Guaranteed Rate.

My wife and I worked with Larry Steinway at Guaranteed Rate. We could not be more pleased with the service of him and his team. The team gave us a list of documents and actions we needed to take in order to get our loan as quickly as possible. We were able to close in about 5 weeks but in reality we were ready to close in 4 weeks if we didn't have an issue with our buyer's lender (They were just TERRIBLE!)

We were very fortunate to work with Larry Steinway and his team. They made purchasing our new home very easy and we truly felt extremely supported and taken care of throughout the process.
Larry walked us through every part of home loan process and helped us navigate each speed bump along the way.
I would absolutely use Larry again for purchasing a home or if refinancing - he was a true pleasure to work with and a rare find!
Linda K.- 6/16
Everyone with GR is very professional and competent GR's systems make the application and qualification process easy and fast.
Howard I. - 5/2016
This was the simplest closing I've ever had! i already passed on your info to two of my friends who, like i was, are toying with the idea of refinancing but they were under the impression it is going to be such an ordeal! I told them how Guaranteed Rate and everyone involved made it so easy.
Sandra N. - 4/6/16
I really enjoyed working with Larry! He was not only conversational and friendly but made the process seamless and straightforward! Thanks Larry!
Siegfredo N. -CHICAGO, IL | MAR 2016
Larry Steinway and his team made the process so simple for our first time purchasing a home. I heard from many people that the process can be long and stressful but we didn't experience any of that. Larry made sure that I understood my options and that made me feel comfortable to work with his team. The online process made sharing documents easy and I wouldn't want it any other way. A+ service from an A+ staff. Looking forward to doing business with them again!
Jason B. - Chicago, IL - 3/16
It was an absolute pleasure doing business with you during the purchase of our new home. The entire process was seamless and your team is a fine tuned machine. Everyone was great to work with from top to bottom. Thanks for your help and I will be sure to pass along the good word to potential clients. Talk soon.
Ryan F.- Skokie, IL - 3/16
Larry did an excellent job! Guaranteed rate was able to beat the terms and rates that the national banks were giving me got me a clear to close in 10 days! I would highly recommend Guaranteed Rate for your next mortgage.
Yanyue M. - Chicago, IL | Jan. 2016
We never thought getting a mortgage would be as quick and easy as Guaranteed Rate made it. Larry Steinway was our loan officer and he was fantastic from the beginning, walking us through our options and coming through on his commitment to getting our loan secured during a relatively short timeline between loan application and closing. We have already recommended Larry and Guaranteed Rate to others and will continue to do so, as well as use both for any and all of our loan needs in the...
Nathaniel H. - Chicago, IL | Dec. 2015
Al and I wanted to take a minute to say thank you very much. You did an outstanding job of getting our loan process done and my family and I appreciate it. You helped make a dream come true for pass 10 years, You are an awesome guy with great heart.
Hina L. 08/2/2015
The rate was competitive. But, even if it had not been, knowing what I now know about the ease of the process and the service, I might be willing to pay a fraction more in the future to again have the same experience should the need to refinance occur.
Ron and Pam F. 08-06-2015
Pam and I want to let you know what a pleasure it was to work with your time on our refinancing. Even for technology challenged seniors, the document uploading program was quick and relatively easy.The communication from your team was first rate. We were informed at each step of the process and always knew what to expect and when.The closing process also was smooth. Despite having to review many documents, the closer explained each one and made sure that we understood when and where to make our...
