Joe Burke and his entire team were great to work with. This was my first experience purchasing a home, and I had a lot of questions, which they patiently answered and made sure I understood everything. It was a very smooth transaction, which must be attributed to Joe and his team. It was a pleasure to work with them, and I will recommend them the future to friends and family.

Joe Burke and his team were great to work with for my recent purchase. As a first time homebuyer, I was admittedly a bit stressed about the process, but Joe was there to answer all of my questions. There were a few occasions where his teammates didn't respond to my questions, or I needed to follow-up with them, but as soon as Joe was pulled in, he got me what I needed. We also had to postpone the closing due to the seller with a last-minute change in the title company, and Joe and his team pulled everything together in 1.5 days to make it happen

"I love working with Joe and his staff because they are knowledgeable and always extremely helpful! The application packet was a little confusing and the list of materials needed was hard to tell if I received everything and provided everything asked for so it was wonderful to have Joe and the team to walk me through. Great service, great rates, and Joe does a great job of explaining the process to inexperienced buyers. I have and will continue to refer others to him."

"Joe was always personable and professional, and willing to answer our questions thoroughly and promptly. We were very impressed with the amount of information and numbers that Joe provided early in the process. This level of transparency made us feel more confident about Guaranteed Rate, and it made the rest of the process smoother because we knew what to expect and what the numbers should be. I was impressed with the level of customer service and professionalism that we received, and I would be happy to recommend them to anyone looking for a mortgage."

“I worked with Joe Burke and his team and I was completely satisfied. From the beginning, Joe made me feel like I was his top priority, answered all of my questions and calmed my nerves about the whole process. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and I was highly impressed. He even called me the day of my closing to congratulate me and ask if I was going to celebrate! It made me feel like this wasn't just a job to him and that he actually cares. I now know why my agent highly recommended him. A+ and 5 stars all across the board. Thanks Joe!”

Kristen F. -- Chicago, IL -- 12/2012
Everything wentvery smoothly. I met with my lender well in advance of needing a loan to understand my options, so by the time I put an offer in on a condo, my lender had most of the information needed to help fill out my loan application. Within a couple days, the application was complete and I was well underway.
