I've worked with Greg at RATE for many years and through many homes and I cannot get over how easy the process was. He's always been helpful, patient, and empathetic. You really understand that he cares about your and wants to make what can be an arduous process as easy as possible. His team is extremely communicative and the portal made tracking the process of securing a mortgage as easy as you would expect with where technology and websites are in 2026, especially the phone App. I'll continue to work with him and his team, and look forward to it! How often do you hear that?! read more

I recently found myself in need of a move, came across the too-good-to-be-true listing, contacted Greg regarding a mortgage strategy, and closed the transaction in a little over three weeks. I worked in real estate for over twenty years and rarely saw even cash transactions close that quickly. Greg had a high-touch approach to my path from start to finish, including weekend calls and a conference call while he was driving to his wedding anniversary site in Mexico. Greg is the personification of the phrase work ethic. I am eager to recommend his services to my former real estate colleagues. read more

Greg Wickstrand and Guaranteed Rate are exceptional.

Without hesitation, we would work with Guaranteed Rate again and enthusiastically recommend them to others. read more

Greg Wickstrand went above and beyond to help my husband and I buy our dream home together. He was recommended to me by my dad, and our experience with Greg was fantastic. We had a long process of putting offers on homes while trying to sell our first home and having deals fall through for reasons outside of our control. Greg was there for us through it all. He was diligent about helping us understand how the process works and how we can get the home we were looking for. He went out of his way to show us multiple loan analyses on different properties to help us decide what would be the best route for us. He was punctual and frequently called us to check in and see if we had any questions for him. He explained things well and was very thorough and timely. We are forever grateful for all his hard work to help us start our lives together as newlyweds in our dream home! read more

I absolutely loved working with Greg! I was referred to him years ago through a friend when I was considering buying a home. He's stayed in touch over the years and was my go to when it was time to make an offer. He was extremely helpful and efficient, always giving us options and walking us through the possibilities. I appreciate how seamless and easy it was to close with him and his team! We were able to meet the 30 day escrow contingency our sellers requested, and we received updates throughout the whole process so we knew what to expect. Overall, I highly recommend Greg and his team for any of your home lending needs! read more

I found Guaranteed Rate after a botched first run using a different company. I am so very glad I found Greg Wickstrand.

We made a somewhat snap decision to relocate a few months ago. We were referred to Greg and it was one of the best recommendations we received. Things moved incredibly fast for us and Greg and his team were on top of things all the way. From start to finish we were done in 22 days. Whenever a question arose, we received a response almost immediately. Greg was able to present several options that would work well for our situation. So in a nutshell, go with Greg! You won't regret it. read more

Greg has been our lender of choice for nearly a decade. He's done several purchases and refi's for us. He's always professional, thorough, and a pleasure to work with.

We have worked with Greg's team across two homes, multiple refinances and a home equity line of credit over the years and we couldn't be more pleased! Greg and the Guaranteed Rate folks have always found us the most competitive rates and terms, while being forthcoming about tradeoffs and the right timing to maximize our savings. We worked with Greg through our first and second home purchases and reducing our rates over the years while leveraging the equity we built. Greg and his team will always be our first choice for our home financing needs! Highly recommended. read more

I was referred to Greg through my father who is very business and financially savvy. We worked with him when we bought our house in 2015 and over the years, I have worked with him to either get quotes on certain things or simply to get his professional opinion on what other companies were offering. My husband and I recently went through Greg at Guaranteed Rate to refinance our house and couldn't be happier with his service. He was always available via call or text and answered any questions we had. He even was in touch when he was on vacation! There was a hiccup along the way but he went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of and alleviated any confusion on our end. My husband and I used the term "class act" several times during the refi process and believe he is someone that I would absolutely recommend for refinancing or simply buying a home. The pure fact that we have been in communication on and off for the last 6 years should tell you everything you need to know. I even have his little magnet calendar on my microwave. Definitely give him a call! read more

Go to Greg for your mortgage loans. Best in the business. He will take excellent care of you. Best Rates!

We were completely new to the whole home buying experience. Greg held our hands every step of the way. Our credit was less than good to begin with. Greg helped us first, by optimizing our credit and giving us a very clear picture of what we needed to do to begin the process. He made what seemed overwhelming, completly doable. Greg is extremely knowledgeable. We had so many questions for him and his team and they handled every one. We were able to be upfront with Greg as to what our realistic parameters were, and he never once pushed us past what we knew we could afford. When it came to the closing of our home, he was there to manage every intricate move. His team was in contact with us daily if needed. I can't say enough good things about Greg and his whole team at Guaranteed Rate. If we ever decide to move out of our new home, we will, without question use Greg at Guaranteed Rate and the team. read more

I really did not want to refinance because of the horrific experience a year ago when I originally purchased my home. Due to the rates being at an all time low I sucked it up and decided to bite the bullet and refinance. A friend of mine, who has VERY high standards and I trust implicitly recommended Greg and his team. Greg did NOT disappoint!! He was available almost any time I called and his team was just as quick and efficient as he was. Everyone associated with my loan was very knowledgable, understanding, professional, etc. . I let them know that I was not that computer savvy and they made the entire seamless and painless. I truly would recommend Greg hands down. He's been worth his weight in gold! read more

I have only ever worked with Greg and his team and I am very grateful to my real estate agent for the introduction. From the initial assessments, to walking me step by step through the process, to answering all my questions promptly, and preparing me for what may come next, I have always gotten superior service. Greg's knowledge is top notch. You can explore all options in the level of detail that you are comfortable with and you never feel as though you are being pressured into something that you are not ready for. Everything is laid out for you and you decide what works for you. I cannot imagine working with anyone else. read more

Greg and his team are stellar. Timely, efficient and excellent at navigating the process from offer through close.

First off, Greg was a recommendation from my sis-in-law so some credit goes to her for the intro. Within hours of my refinance request, Greg had put together a personalised pre-recorded analysis and Infographic of our refinance summary options. Very impressive! From start to finish, and every step of the way, Greg is present to answer questions I may have. He's personable, professional and a sensei in this often misunderstood lengthy process. I would like to say that my whole experience with Greg and his team was awesome! read more

Would definitely recommend and look forward to working with them again. read more

Greg helped us navigate the complicated process of a loan in the midst of a new job and changes in salary.

Greg and his Guaranteed Rate team came highly recommended, and we were not disappointed.

Greg and his team helped us take advantage of the recent reduction in interest rates. It was the first time we refinanced during a pandemic, so everything was handled remotely. We now have very reasonable payments that have allowed us to make one of our dreams come true. Due to the savings my wife and i were finally able to afford a boat to cruise around the San Diego harbors. Thank you Greg!!! read more

Highly recommended!! Greg and his team provide the kind of personal service that seems to have been lost or severely neglected in this era of digital delivery and social media. Although they utilize state of the art technology in the process, you always feel like they have their finger on the pulse of your transaction and a human touch is no more than a phone call away. And their rates are competitive on top of it all, imagine that! If you're in need of a new home loan, or a refinance of your existing home mortgage, give Greg a call. You won't be disappointed. read more

I gave Greg and his wonderful team 5 stars because they worked diligently for every one of those! From the minute I called Greg, I was confident I was in the right hands. We were on a huge time constraint ( already in escrow on our house to sell and needed preapproval that day for a new home) and Greg was able to get me a preapproval letter instantly. Every step of the way has been communicated to me with phone calls, videos, texts, and emails. He never once made me feel in the dark. To put this in perspective: for the same loan amount with another lender, our monthly payment was going to be in the high 3000s, Greg provided me with 3 different loan options that not only worked for my budget, but my life goals and wishes. His numbers beat the other by hundreds! I didnt think we were going to be able to afford this place, but he made it happen! I am so thankful for Greg and his wonderful professors Brywyn and Cyndi. If I had a question, these ladies were here to help me any hour of the day! They made the tedious process of buying a home flawless. Thank you Greg!! read more

I have worked with Greg and his team on two different loans and we are starting the process on a third one. I would highly recommend him.

I've done 2 refinances with Greg Wickstrand, this being my first with Guaranteed Rate. The process was seamless, efficient and the service was excellent. Thanks Greg! read more

It was great working with Greg and his team. We were waiting for rates to drop to a certain level before we went ahead with our refinance, and he kept track of that for us and let us know a few months later when the time was right. The secure process they have for collecting all of the financial documentation they need was easy to use, and I really appreciated that. The whole process was much faster and easier than I anticipated! read more

We can't imagine having gone through the home buying process for the first time without Greg and his team. Throughout the entire experience Greg made things so painless, and made sure any questions we had were answered immediately. We worked backwards from a monthly payment we knew we could afford, and ended up getting a house that exceeded our expectations. I cannot recommend Greg highly enough. read more

NEVER HAD TO LEAVE HOUSE! Highly streamlined process. Just completed second refi with Greg this year. Greg got my original mortgage when I purchased in 2004 and then got home equity 2nd in 2005 for remodel. He is excellent at providing guidance on optimizing the financing options and then getting no brainer terms to his client's benefit. A big factor for me in choosing a financing source is trust. Having such a long history of success with Greg ruled out gambling on some unknown Internet ad broker. I refer him to all my friends and family read more

This is our third time using Greg to finance/refi our mortgage. Greg abd his team are always very quick to respond to the buyer, escrow, agents, etc. I love his presentation, laying out short and long term options on different loans and payment options, including VA and FHA. I plan on always using Greg for my lending needs. read more

I've been working with Greg since 2008 and he has never let down. He and his team make the financing process smooth and efficient. Like many others, it is his responsiveness, directness, and the personability that keep me, my friends, and family coming back. read more

GREG WICKSTRAND is amazing! When my neighbor Mike (a very wise, inquisitive, tech savvy and frugal to a fault man) ever shares his insight into something .. I always take the time to listen. From solar panels to stock advice to home refinancing .. Mike is my "go-to". After 10 years, I can say with extreme confidence, that Mike has never led me astray... When he introduced me to GREG WICKSTRAND, I was incredibly grateful. After my second refinance using him, I can honestly say that I felt 100% secure knowing that Greg had me and my family's financial interests in mind. From asking the right questions, to collecting our financial information with complete ease - within an extremely secure platform - our two refinances were completed in an incredibly short turn time. Especially the recent one, noticing things like the ability to directly submit bank statements directly from bank within his application. If you are looking to refinance ... and we all feel that this is a great time to do so - be sure to give Greg a call. After no time on the phone with him, you will sense his level of knowledge, professionalism and his wonderful ability to work within his clients crazy schedules. This is the time to lock in these incredible rates; we don't know what is coming, but inflation and higher interest rates are unfortunately pretty likely. I'm happy to speak with anyone who might have questions about my experience with Guaranteed Rate. Sarah L. King read more
