We can't say enough thanks to Michael and the crew at Infiniti for getting us into our new home so…read morequickly and (relatively) painlessly!!!!! Michael came highly recommended to us from family members, who had just used him for their mortgage, and were very happy. Unlike other mortgage brokers from "big name" firms that we had initially spoken to, Michael actually took the time to listen to what we were looking for (an FHA 30-year fixed mortgage, at the rate we wanted), and went above and beyond expectations to ensure that we would qualify based on our unique financial picture. He was extremely reachable - I work late hours, and would often send him emails at 11:00pm or later, and have a response from him by the next morning. Michael also took the time to explain the loan process to us, which was really important to us as first-time home buyers. Michael made the whole process far easier and quicker than we had expected. Most of the loan documents that we received from our lender were signed and submitted electronically, and the first time we actually met Michael in person was at our closing! At our closing, the attorneys and real estate agents were all amazed at how quickly Michael was able to secure our loan, and the rates and credits that he was able to get us. He even gave us a housewarming gift! That is the kind of service and thoughtfulness that we would have never expected from a larger firm. We definitely would use Michael and Infiniti again for any future financing needs. I very strongly recommend them!!!

Eric was the 4th or 5th lender we spoke with and he was the only one that could get it done, with no "tricks". I wish we had found him sooner! Very straightforward conventional loan.

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.

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.

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!

I have worked with Henry now for two mortgage loans. He is the most understanding, compassionate,…read moreknowledgeable and personable mortgage broker that I have ever encountered. 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. He will walk through all different scenarios whether it's a traditional 30 yr fixed or 10/ARM and make sure you get the right product and payments that fit your budget. I recommend working with Henry as he will definitely make this process easy and as stress free as purchasing a home can be.

We heard about Ryan and Starting Point Realty through Reddit and could not be happier with our…read moreexperience. We moved to the area from out of state, and Ryan helped us every step of the way, from finding a short-term rental to finding our home and closing. What stood out most was how genuinely he cared about us. From day one, he treated us like longtime friends rather than clients. He also has an incredible network of people he trusts, and you could tell he genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right. Simply put, Ryan is knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, and a genuinely good dude. We would recommend him and his team to anyone looking for a realtor!

They did such a good job that I never considered anyone else when I eventually sold that property 17 years later. The selling experience was as good as the buying experience, as it was also my first time selling a property. The process was made difficult by forces entirely outside of their control and they worked through it giving truly above-and-beyond effort. I always felt that I had a teammate and advocate working in my best interest throughout the process.

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.
