Dovenmuehle bought my mortgage from my last bank and to say I was underwhelmed by them from the…read morebeginning would be an understatement. Getting anyone on the phone is taxing, and when you do speak to someone it's a crap shoot on whether or not they will help and/or be personable. With the rates dropping I contacted Dovenmuehle to see if they offered options for loan modifications hoping it would be cheaper than a complete refinance. They said they'd send me info on the process. Well, they instead put me into forbearance and stopped my auto payments. It took almost a month of phone calls and time to straighten it out and get out of forbearance.....something in ever should have been in! I wouldn't doubt it was a stat for them. Well, the good news is they just sold my loan to another bank. I was going to refinance just to get away from Dovenmuehle but now I'll give it a couple months to see how this one goes. What's the harm in having yet another bank have all of my info.

My credit line got bought out by Dovenmuehle and it was the most stressful bank I have dealt with…read more Very poor communication. Lacked professionalism. Every time I called in, I had to answer tons questions, even though I provided account #, social, last payment etc.... And even still sometimes they would not give me any info. The service was so poor and sketchy that I decided to just pay the loan off and not deal with that kind of bank. Even the payoff method was sketchy. I received payoff instructions that to be hand typed, and the look like it was out from a printer and running out of ink. I couldn't read the payoff . So again I had to call the bank and they would not give me any information or was no help. It took about two months to pay the loan off.

One week ago, I closed on my very first purchase of a Home in Chicago. Henry Pevitz and his team at…read moreHuntington made this process incredibly easy for me. I have been on the hunt for the perfect home for about a year, and they have been with me throughout the whole process. I put several offers in on different homes, and each time Henry Pevitz was ready to provide me with preapproval letters in a timely manner. I've heard horror stories from friends and family who have purchased homes with other lenders, and this was the exact opposite of my experience with Henry. It was the easiest part of my purchase!

He knows his business and genuinely cares about getting the right product for me and my family. He will work with you to achieve the ultimate goal of owning a home.

I recommend working with Henry as he will definitely make this process easy and as stress free as purchasing a home can be.

We're first…read moretime home buyers, and even though we did as much self-learning education we could, he taught us there was always more and more to learn during the home buying process. Even though we had a hard time deciding between single family homes (Detached) and town homes/Condos (Attached), Ryan was always patient with us. He was with us every step of the way with great insights on affordability, explaining how home offers work, even when we decided to switch our search locations! No matter the twists and turns we presented (I'm sorry Ryan!!), Ryan stood by our side the entire process. In fact, he was a mentor for us, who went to essentially EVERY single house we wanted to see, who gave valuable opinions and insights on every home and even the area where the home was located. He checked in with us and made sure we actually loved the house instead of pushing us towards a home to make a quick sale. Ryan is the kind of real estate agent you would want; patient, will educate you during the whole process, and will ensure you're taken care of during the whole process!

Ryan was down to earth and walked us through each step, always respectful of our situation and perspective while providing honest and insightful counsel. Ryan worked with us even before any formal agreement, advising on remodeling and market value. We had to sell our condo due to unemployment, it was an emotionally difficult process but Ryan and his team were always supportive and compassionate. Ryan went above and beyond in terms of availability and providing hands on help. This process could have been an absolute nightmare with a lesser realtor, but we always felt safe guided by Ryan's expertise.

I worked with Brett for our mortgage. When he first told me what rate he could get for me, I was…read moreskeptical and even apprehensive because it was so much better than everything else I was being offered by other lenders. I did a refi about three years ago with Guaranteed Rate and when I told them the rate I was able to get through Molitor they basically said, that's impossible nobody is getting that rate right now. Well I'm glad I didn't listen to them. Brett delivered the rate he promised, no fine print, the process was simple and Molitor was there to answer any question I had. If you work with Brett and his rate seems too good to be true, it isn't and he'll deliver. Would recommend to any friend or family member.

That bit of business cleared up (I hope), here's my review: Steve Siwinski took care of a refinance for me years ago. It went so smoothly that I barely remember it, unlike some of the protological experiences I've heard horor stories about from folks who went to the wrong lender. I'm also a long-time Realtor who has been referring Steve to her clients for at least 15 years. Buying and selling a home is exciting and stressful for many people: the last thing they need is a lender who fails to perform and adds panic to the process. Steve and his team at Guaranteed Rate ALWAYS deliver on their promises. Loans are approved and closed on time, no hassle, no sad excuses. Nothing makes you look better than being able to recommend quality professionals to your clients, neighbors, friends, family. Steve Siwinski and the Guaranteed Rate team make me like a hero.
