Michelle from Garanteed Rate is the hidden gem in the real estate industry. I was so extremely fortunate to be able to work with her for a long period of time during my house hunting process. She is the type of professional that goes above and beyond with profound experience as well as a cheerful attitude. She is a dream to work with.
I started my house hunting with looking for a reliable and efficient lender. I first went to my bank. And soon realized how inefficient, confusing, inflexible their process was. One example, it took me 10 minutes to call in to connect with my bank's mortgage department. Another example, my request was left alone for 2 weeks when my bank's lending officer was on vacation.
Such lack of speed will not help with the ever-fleeting real estate transactions in the New York market for sure. I was wondering what other choices could I have?
Fortunately, I got to know Michelle as a referral from a friend. Michelle made a difference from the first call. She is extremely knowledgeable about the industry, ins and outs, within and beyond mortgage lending. She is very responsive and took time to explain every single detail I need to know at each stage. Exactly what I needed because buying a house in New York City is complex. She is always friendly, pleasant, cheerful, and confident. Both her valuable expertise and positive attitude helped anchor the arduous buying process.
Michelle is trustworthy and demonstrated the highest integrity during the entire process. At very turn of the challenges, she showed incredible resourcefulness because of her vast and in-depth experience in the industry.
I will come back to Michelle again and again and highly recommend her and her team to everyone thinking about buying a piece of real estate. read more
