I was well taken care of and my emails/phone calls were responded to quickly. I was met with friendly, knowledgeable, courteous and professional personnel. As I m not adept with today's technology, Guaranteed Rate walked me through the steps one by one until I was able to complete the documents. Kudos to that. Thank you so much for a pleasant experience.

Rich Postlethwait and his crew are very knowledgeable which turned out to be very helpful to me. I ended up lowering my interest rate two days prior to closing and Rich told me that he would get everything done on time and he was right. Closing went on smoothly. This is the second home my family and I bought thru Guaranteed Rate in three years. Looking forward to work with Rich and his team again in a near future. Thank you!

Rich Postlethwait has a very difficult name to spell but after that he is the best and most approachable realtor I could imagine. His knowledge and ability to communicate it in terms that a layman can understand is unequaled. Rich is extremely personable whether in person or on the phone. This characteristic is passed on to all the people who work with him which allows the customer to be relaxed and confident when asking questions or getting advise. I would recommend and have in the past...

Thanks to Rich and his team, the process of refinancing our mortgage was practically a nonevent. We now have a lower rate of interest on our primary home mortgage and look forward to many years in our home of 32 years. The information required was detailed for us and put in proper format for the closer. The closer was very professional and did a first rate job, all in the comfort of our home. We would recommend Guaranteed Rate, Inc. to everyone with the caveat that Rich Postlethwait and...
