Oren was awesome! He was so efficient and always kept me in the loop. As a first time home buyer for a condo on the North Side of Chicago, I would get confused by the language and money amounts easily and he always took the time to explain it all to me - sometimes more than once. I felt very well taken care of and overall enjoyed the process. I would definitely work with Oren again in the future as well as recommending him to others.

I was very satisfied with the services that Guaranteed Rate provided especially being a first time home buyer. Guaranteed Rate helped my wife and I from day one by providing us guidance and all the necessary information needed to process our loan and secure all important documents needed for closing. Our loan officer Oren Orkin was very helpful and ensured our account was being looked after the minute we started the process with him and his team.

Love Oren's team and Jenna. When I was confused about any requests or e-mails, they were ON it. I think because Oren is on TOP of his game, I completely trusted him and am grateful for how much he was looking out for me and my best interest. He even gave me a ride after the closing--AND WAS PRESENT AT MY CLOSING. For being such a big company, I felt like Oren and Jenna did a good job of making it a very personalized experience.

Oren and Jenna were great to work with! I wasn't expecting to be Abel to get a house this year and they made it happen! Thank you for the work you put in to help me and my family.
Raquel R. 06/28/2016
The banks have made getting a loan harder, I did not realize it until this recent purchase. My loan officer kept me from losing it and helped me walk through all the painful requests for detail that the bank kept making. The process took longer than I expected due to the changes that have happened in the banking regulations but that is not Guaranteed Rate's issue and my loan officer helped immensely in explaining it. Great team as well, always on top of the details.
James B. 06/06/2016
This is not an easy process for homeowners to go through. You mentally prepare yourself for the closing, and the anxiety levels begin to rise. Oren and his team did an outstanding job of managing those emotions to make the process as seamless as possible. Anytime I had a question, I was answered very quickly and never felt like I was put on the back burner. I cannot say enough good things about Oren and his team and will be recommending them to all of my friends and family. Please feel free to...
