So, this is seriously belated - my husband and I bought a house in December of 2016, and Peter was…read morethe best part of the whole ordeal! Buying a house is confusing and complicated enough, even without adding in the mortgage process. Peter made this so painless, and was an amazing resource for us. He was patient with us while we were learning the ropes, and did a great job of making sure we understood everything. I would definitely recommend Peter to anyone looking for a mortgage or refi. We will definitely be reaching out to him if we ever need to deal with these things in the future!

Anyone who has ever gone through the toils of getting a mortgage loan knows that there are few…read moreprocesses more complicated and stressful in life. 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.

Ryan Mecum and his team from Guaranteed Rate were recommended by Lynn Reidl from Dreamtown Realty…read more I was seeking a jumbo purchase, and had numerous complexities in my financial picture (recent conversion to partner in my firm, a previous credit issue, and retaining my current home as a rental). When Ryan and I met, he asked me to communicate my needs and perceived challenges. We formulated a plan together, and the execution and service was off the charts! On top of the amazing experience in purchasing my new home, Ryan and his team assisted me with direction on other wise financial actions (and introduced me to an amazing wealth manager). Thank you to Ryan's team - Jason, Pam, Patti, and all the others who made the process seem easy. I have already referred Ryan to coworkers, and will continue to recommend him and his team to everyone I know. Thanks Ryan!!

Guaranteed Rate was recommend as a possible Mortgage lender by my Broker. My own bank's Mortgage…read moreBroker was slow to respond and kept forgetting who I was. From the moment I spoke with Ryan Mecum, at Guaranteed Rate, I felt I was in good hands. He was warm and friendly and outlined very clearly how his company worked. When I got off the phone I felt that I was definitely with the right lender. In the days that followed his staff monitored the many details the process involves. They patiently walked me through the documents that had to be submitted, reviewed or signed. Jason, who was assigned to my file, became my guardian angel, watching over my file with a keen eye and calling me almost daily to review what had been done and what had yet to be done. He always first greeted me warmly and then got down to business. The DocuSign system that this company uses is a streamlined program that takes you step by step through the actions that must be completed. The electronic signature moves through each page and stops where an initial or signature is required. When the key is pressed your signature or initials are recorded on the document and the paperwork is completed in a matter of minutes. One time when I was asked to submit my Social Security card I erroneously submitted my Medicare card instead. Twice more I was asked to submit my Social Security card and wondered what was wrong with their equipment until Patti wrote me a tactful email indicating my repeated error. I called her after finally sending the correct document and apologized. She was so warm and understanding that my embarrassment (I am a senior) disappeared. She also bent over backwards to assist me with passwords and security codes. Whenever I hit a wall because I was confused I always relied on my angel, Jason, who could hear my frustration and would sooth me with kind words and explanations. Once, I became alarmed at a document that seemed to be filled with financial errors. I left Jason a message of anger and suspicion. As usual he responded rapidly and in his calm and friendly manner explained in clear language without talking down to me what the figures were and what they meant. I was relieved, my stress level dropped and I was at peace with the world once again. I laughed at myself when I recounted this experience to a friend who reminded me that I had told her how Jason was always able to assist me when anxiety appeared to be stalking me around every corner. When Jason was on some days off with his family Jim, his coworker, responded to my plea for help as quickly as Jason would have done. He was delightfully personable and I felt like we had known each other for years from his friendly manner. He picked up where Jason had left off and was able to respond to my questions and concerns the same day reassuring me that my loan eligibility for my dream condo was indeed possible. Pam and Michael also assisted me with consideration and kindness with their part of the process when I ran into bumps. I never once encountered anyone there who caused me to feel awkward or slow. Much the opposite I had the impression that at their team meetings they were determined to guide me gently through what can be an overwhelming and challenging process. To summarize, the team of employees at Guaranteed Rate is, in my opinion, first rate. Under the leadership of Ryan Mecum they emulate his personalized caring and dedicated style. To a person, they share his commitment to doing a quality job, in a clear, expert and efficient manner. They understand that they may sometimes be dealing with a confused, befuddled, elderly and overwhelmed person who can easily get lost in this process. What is most clear is that they individualize their clients and want to support and champion their dreams. Thank you folks for making my dream come true. It would not have happened without your dedication and earnest efforts on my behalf.

I am posting this review specifically for those who are new to Futures trading and are in the learning and skills development process, specifically for trading the Emini S&P 500. After 2 months of exhaustive research I happened upon their site. There are a plethora of arguably shady training sites, some outright kooky and/or grossly dishonest. This organization is night and day a refreshingly better resource in that the professionalism, honesty, and integrity of it's staff is quickly discernable, as is the quality of the information provided. I find it amusing that [many] other training sites and trading rooms are in fact using research and daily analysis provided by this company. As a resource for skills development, schooling, and active trading mentoring, I fervently recommend you give this team strong consideration. At 6 months into training and having at this juncture at minimum 200 hours of online research in, I've yet to discover any other resource that comes close to the trustworthiness of this company.
