Oren Orkin has always had my trust and respect and proved it during this process; I can't say enough positive things about his attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. It's people like him that make business easy and make it easy for me to know I have someone I can refer all my friends and family too with absolute trust.

Rich S. | May 2018
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.
Kristina S. | June 2018
I think it was very Satisfactory and faster than I thought so I definitely We recommend to any body or a friend.

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.

We really enjoyed how nice everyone was and how easy they were to talk to! We had so many questions and someone was always able to answer them and answer fast! It was nice having a whole team of people because if one was busy or sick we always had someone else to call. We also love how easy it was to upload papers online.
Travis K. – 3/3/2017
Oren and his team were helpful, always quick to reply, and very up front and honest. As first time homebuyers, my fiancé and I asked a LOT of questions and needed a LOT of clarification and support. Our team consistently went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. Special shout outs to Oren and Jenna, the two we worked with the most extensively. Thank you Guaranteed Rate!
Ryan N. – 2/15/2017
The refinance process was quick and easy. I appreciate that I could upload all documents on the portal.

It was done at my condo! Overall, I'm extremely satisfied. Thank you, Oren and team for a smooth refinance process!

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.
Bridget M. - 07/13/2016
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...

Yours truly and my mother, want to thank you for all of the hard work that you have done to complete her loan. This wouldn’t have been possible without all of the effort you’ve placed on our behalf as a true lending professional.
