I'm sure if you have a simple straight forward local mortgage G-Rate will do a nice job.. Because…read morethey have so much volume they have invested in the latest mortgage underwriting technology. Unfortunately, that technology is not at all friendly or forgiving. All is fine until you add complexity to the situation and need hand holding. I've closed on 30+ mortgages in my life, have owned dozens of properties and this was by far my least favorite closing experience. When things went sideways the implementation team was literally afraid to bring in the boss (Shant) for assistance causing multiple delays all they up to the night before the first scheduled closing. We eventually got it done but the underwriting process was absolutely ridiculous. Here is one example; the underwriters required an official letter from my employer on company letterhead and signed by HR describing the frequency of my annual bonus. Really?? In summary, very nice people but not the best experience. Good Luck.

They're sociopaths. We were introduced to Guaranteed Rate through our real estate agent at the time…read morebecause they share an office space. We were interested in getting pre-qualified for an offer we were about to put in on a house. Red flag #1 was our call with them to get pre-qualified. We told them the amount we were prepared to offer, and we were peppered with "Are you sure?? We could qualify you for WAY more!!" Folks, this is how foreclosures happen. When you decide on a price range that fits your financial situation you absolutely should not be talked into a higher range by a complete stranger, especially not one with a financial interest in driving up your mortgage amount. And your mortgage lender absolutely should not be trying to goad you into a higher offer amount. They tell you this in any first time homebuyers class. We did not put in any more home offers with that realtor, and we had no reason to contact Guaranteed Rate. That didn't stop the DAILY barrage of texts, emails, and mail from Shant and Guaranteed Rate. Nothing has stopped them from constantly pestering us with the exact same content like we're somehow going to finally come around on the 10,000th "Hey just checking in..." Don't take my word for it. Google it. Take a homebuyer's class. Ask anyone in the real estate business without an immediate financial interest in getting you to buy a mortgage. They'll all tell you that this kind of predatory behavior is the textbook example of what to avoid when considering a mortgage lender.

Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!…read more This was mortgage refinance nightmare. If I could give zero stars I would. It started with typos on my appraisal. Followed by by failure to returns calls/emails in a timely manner. No biggee, I'll just deal with your boss rather than you. I closed in November (or so I thought). Got called back in Dec telling me that they made an error and I had to go back to the lawyer, sign again and bring more $$$. At that point I called the corporate office in Chicago and lodged an official complaint. I thought we had straightened things out, although I had to go back and resign and bring the $$. I was told there would be no further issues. Lets face it, Guaranteed Rate had me over a barrel-they had closed out my prior mortgage and owned me. Fast forward 3 weeks. My mortgage broker and his boss are not returning any of my emails. The settlement check still hadn't been cashed despite confirming delivery. When I called the branch manager, I was told it was up to me to find out what happened and was given a number to another department in the Chicago office. WHAT??? So now it's on me to do YOUR job. Numerous phone calls and emails later, they finally located my second settlement check and cashed it. It still took days to get the loan transferred to the correct entity. I'll believe it's finally through when I see the welcome package. The best (of the worst) part....I made enough phone calls and eventually was able to speak to the VP of Client Relations. He apologized for the series of errors and told me that he would now personally follow my mortgage until it was finally transferred. I told him I wanted and expected close attention and he agreed. Yesterday, I got an email from him telling me things were almost finalized. He then proceeded to-not once, but twice-tell me to enjoy my NEW home. Here's the kicker, this was a mortgage REFINANCE! The subject line of the email was "my mortgage refinance". Nice work, Mr. VP. Glad to know sloppiness starts at the top and trickles down.

When I was ready to start the home search process I wanted to get pre approved so I reached out to NE Moves/Rick. At first they were very responsive and got me a letter (amateur looking according to our real estate agent) quickly. After that they said whenever I need a cash flow sheet created when I go to see a home just reach out. We saw a home we liked and then Rick and his assistant Mike went radio silent. almost 3 weeks later I still haven't heard back from them and I am happily under agreement on a home and working with another, much more responsive. All in all - as a first time home buyer I would have felt very uncomfortable moving forward with these guys. Poor customer service and follow through. Maybe they just don't take young first time home buyers seriously!
