This company far surpassed the dozen or so lenders we had started the process of home buying with, when it came to coming up with a plan and solution we could not have picked a better company or team. David was able to work miracles in a short time and his experienced team was nothing short of exceptional when it came to being knowledgeable, forthcoming and diligent when it came time to push forward. We will be customers for life and have started referring anyone we know looking, we want them to get the best and this is where you come.

Guaranteed Rate made the refinancing process easy and smooth. Everyone on David's team was helpful, knowledgeable and really worked to alleviate any concerns or questions we had.

David and his team were easy to work with and made my first home-buying process as stress free as it could be. I highly recommend them to anyone in the market!
J P. | JUNE 2018
My loan officer and team were amazing. I've heard so many horror stories about buying a home that I couldn't believe how smooth of a process it was. The team also was quick to answer any questions and very responsive to my attorney as well. The funding also came very quickly at the closing - we received funding before I finished signing my papers. David Dakoske was amazing and a pleasure to work with.

Andrew V. – Lake Leelanau, MI | Sep. 2015
You guys have been great - and I really appreciate. Your get-it-down professionalism was clear to me early on in the process - with the step-wise approach and discipline you and your team have. But... the last 24 hours have been beyond impressive. You guys were stand-out in the solution orientation, communication and urgency/focus you brought to my situation. And I very much appreciate it.
Aaron C. 08-20-2015
David was absolutely phenomenal to work with and I couldn't have imagined a more knowledgeable, driven, and patient partner to work with. Not only did he go above and beyond every step of the way to make the process clear and easy, his attention to detail and personalized focus assured me that Guaranteed Rate was committed to doing what is right for me. David and his team made it so easy to go through the application, approval, and closing. Other banks I considered all had time consuming bureaucratic processes. Really appreciate the customer-oriented service at Guaranteed Rate.
Caroline L. 08-03-2015
Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU. We moved in to our new home yesterday and could not be happier! Guaranteed Rate proved to be an excellent recommendation - easy to work with, responsive and friendly. Your creative use of technology made the entire process - from application to funding - so much easier than the old-school mortgage process used by so many of your competitors. We will definitely recommend GR to our friends and family. Thanks so much!
Mark J. & Jeremy L. Geneva, IL
David Dakoske is amazing. I emailed and called other loan officers but David was hands down the best. His customer service and knowledge of the process is the start to a flawless execution. He communicated constantly and always made sure that I was doing informed and comfortable. David is friendly, knowledgeable, transparent, and really makes the process easy and stress free. His support team of Kathryn and Maggie is also great and showed best in class service. This team's customer-centric attitude make it very easy to recommend Guaranteed Rate.
