If you are going through divorce and trying to buy a home (even if you are a "normal" home buyer) -…read moredo yourself a favor and DO NOT look any further than Mortgage Specialists! Not only did they deliver knocking it out of the park, they made it almost effortless on my part! My situation: third home I've purchased over years, going through the divorce process without final decree, hectic schedule balancing work/life, selling a home at the same time, repairs needed to home, kids and activities. I don't think Mortgage Specialists do themselves enough service in advertising to people in my situation of going through a divorce. I started my pre-approval process with a "big bank" which has serviced all my previous mortgages and/or refinances in one form or another over the years, and never had problems with them (smooth in fact). The pre-approval questionnaire for me was easy - I make enough and my credit is excellent - they said no problems getting me approved. Then underwriting happens and that is where the divorce will stop your approval in its tracks. For two months I sat in underwriting at the "big bank" trying to get over the hurdle of having a "separation agreement" calling out my duty/lack thereof for child support and alimony. Without this, I would not go further. I tapped into my personal network and connections and approached 3 other lenders and all threw up the same roadblock on financing and not being able to approve without the divorce decreed separation agreement. Then, I was referred to Brent @ Mortgage Specialists. From the moment that we started the conversation, Brent assured me that all hope shouldn't be lost. Taking the time for me to gather my own documentation out of the picture, Mortgage Specialist had the pre-aproval done in less than one day. Then they sent my file to underwriting and a couple days later I was approved with a valid offer letter in hand. Weeks of hopelessness with other companies resolved in a matter of days/week with Mortgage Specialists. Brent was the "face man" for Mortgage Specialists, but I interacted with the rest of his team as well. Every person and every interaction was met with little to no effort from me - they walked me through / held my hand in the whole process. Their communication and response time was timely, a few examples of a couple hour response time even after business hours and on weekends! Brent even met me at closing to shake my hand and offer any more service than they did up to that point. I wish my previous home purchases would have been handled by these guys, I will not look any further in the future. From start to finish, they FAR exceeded any sort of expectation I could've ever had. Awesome job, and thank you to them!

What we didn't really know was the financial part, and everything that came along with it. We weren't sure what loan was best for us, or what lender we should go through.

He filled that missing piece to complete the financial part of our buying process. He made everything so easy and he was always there to help answer any questions we had.

I've…read morepersonally used them and also used them for many of my Realtor clients primary residences and investment properties. Their entire team is great too, Angela, Nate, Dalton, and more! You will be in good hands with any of them. I specifically like that they know not only the "retail primary residence mortgage" side of things but also very well versed in the investor loan space as well. Neil and has personal experience investing in 100s of properties and renovations and is someone that not only understands the real estate mortgage business but actively living in the investor space as well which is not super common to have. Their communication is great and they go the extra mile to make sure we can solve problems for clients and setting them up for success even if a client doesnt get approved for a loan immediately. They give them steps they could take to get approved. They are also just great people and enjoyable to work with and have great rates and options being a loan broker vs a singular bank with a limited offering. I've only had happy clients with them and I am included in that.

Neil went above and beyond and ensured that my first-time home purchase was successful. He and his team ensured that the transaction went smoothly. Most importantly, they were ALWAYS available, whether that was by phone or email. We had zero issues with communication, and even my realtor expressed how easy it was to communicate with the lender (Neil). When it came to rates, especially in this current market, Neil went beyond what most lenders would do, kept me updated with rates, and explained everything in detail. My experience was positive in a huge part thanks to him and his team because I was reassured throughout the entire process and received the correct information every single time. There were zero mishaps, and Neil was there to reassure me and give me options when an issue arose with my homeowner's insurance. I cannot express enough how important it was to have a lender that was great at communication and made decisions that were in my favor and considered my best interests, and Neil did just that. At no point did I feel pressured or concerned; anytime I had a question or concern, Neil or one of his team members was there to explain it to me and reassure me. I recommend Neil and Guaranteed Rate to everyone. If you are in the market, especially if you are still searching for a lender, I highly encourage anyone and everyone to schedule a call with Neil and his team. The best decision you can make is to give Neil a call and a chance. I promise you won't regret it.
