I'd use Guaranteed Rate again mainly due to Gary Marino. Gary is professional, knowledgeable, accessible and engaging. He didn't just list out facts but provided context. He facilitated a full team coming together to support the process in a timely fashion, and I did not worry that something would be missed. Tiana was responsive, concise and helpful. The ease of reviewing, submitting and signing documents almost exclusively online made the process much easier, and I liked that very much, but it's the people who made the difference.

Our friends had a great experience with Gary Marino so we went with their referral. And sure enough, we would recommend Gary over and over again as well.

Stephanie T. | May 2019
The entire team at Guaranteed Rate was phenomenal from start to finish. They made the loan process personable, understandable, hassle free, and successful.

Eugene G.
I am a real estate agent. I often recommend mortgage loan providers to my buyer clients. Although I'm required to recommend 3 names, I always urge them to choose Gary Marino. I am always relieved when they choose to work with Gary because I know he will find a way to get my client to the closing table. This time, I was the borrower and, of all the mortgage loan officers I could choose from, I chose to work with Gary Marino. My husband and I were as pleased as we expected to be. Gary is THE BEST!!
