This being our first purchase we had no idea what to expect, having met with Mike before we even made an offer we were educated as to what to expect in the process and what Mike and his team offered us. We felt far more confident from that initial meeting and knew we had the right team behind us. Throughout the process Mike kept us up to date regarding interest rate movements and helped us secure a very good rate. He answered our very specific questions, was incredibly timely in his responses back to us, and calmed any nerves we may have had. I highly recommend working with Mike, if you are looking to learn about the mortgage process give Mike a call, you will not be disappointed.

We had such a remarkable experience that first time through, that we did not think twice about going to Bryan when we refinanced a couple years ago, and then again most recently when we purchased our new home. Bryan is one of those guys that just keeps going. He is there, whenever you need him. He is kind, calm, and calculated. He patiently walks through any questions you may have and makes sure that you fully understand what can often be a fairly complicated process. Since Bryan moved to Guaranteed Rate a few years ago, he is able to offer even better rates and more resources than he previously had. Combined with Bryan's personality and professionalism, it makes it a no-brainer. If you are in the market to buy or refinance, we highly recommend that you reach out to Bryan.

Gathering up financial records, credit reports and tax returns and then worrying about appraisals and approval in the current economy can certainly lead to some sleepless nights. Peter Alving makes this whole complicated procedure much less agonizing. His professionalism was evident from our first conversation. He knows his stuff, from working with imperfect credit scores to finding creative financing in a market where mortgages have been tough to come by. Every stumbling block that came up was handled promptly with grace and a very reassuring sense of calm. Peter's whole professional demeanor comes across as "Don't stress yourself out. I've got this." I've personally worked with Peter two mortgages and two refinances now, and I also referred my sister to him for her mortgage. I couldn't be more happy with the way he handled our business and I would highly recommend him to anyone who gets hives at the thought of signing over their life to buy a new house.

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.

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.
