Kevin was great to work with. We had a few hiccups through the process (like with any house buying) and he was quick to work through everything. When things needed to be done quickly he was quick to respond and get us everything we needed to close. Through and through we are very happy. Thanks Kevin!
Kevin was an excellent mortgage lender. He was attentive, organized, and kept the entire process moving on a fast yet appropriate timeline from start to closing. He was always one step ahead, keeping me informed and making sure everything stayed on track. Whenever I had questions, he was readily available and quick to respond. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable mortgage lender.
Because of the low interest rate estimate faster than competitor

My experience with Guaranteed Rate was excellent from start to finish. The refinance process was smooth, communication was clear, and the team was always available to answer my questions. Everything moved quickly and professionally, and I felt supported throughout underwriting and closing. I truly appreciate their efficiency and transparency.
For the third time — thank you, Kevin Nelson! Highly recommend — 10/10.

I recently worked with Kevin Nelson on a Twin Cities buyer transaction, and this was exactly how a deal should run — clean, efficient, and professional from start to finish.
As a Minnesota real estate agent, I’ve worked with many lenders, and Kevin is definitely someone who stands out. Communication was fast and consistent, timelines were tight, and everything stayed on track all the way to closing. That kind of execution makes a big difference in today’s competitive Minnesota real estate market.
What I value most is having a loan officer who can problem-solve quickly and keep things moving — Kevin delivered on that.
If you’re looking for a trusted mortgage loan officer in Minnesota for a home purchase or refinance, Kevin Nelson is someone I confidently recommend.

Working with Kevin and his team was an excellent experience from start to finish. They were always available to answer my questions, explain every step, and keep me informed in real time. I appreciated their clear communication—nothing was ever left vague or confusing. They worked hard to find the best solution. I truly felt supported and confident throughout the process. I would recommend Kevin and his team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and results-driven team.
Kevin handled my loan professionly all the way. There were several barriers along the way but he was able to find a way. Without him I don't think I would have my condo today.
Had an excellent experience at rate with Caitlin and Kevin. Easy process that I was able to do 99% on my phone. Any questions and concerns were addressed promptly and explained.
Consistently strong customer service. Technology infrastructure allows for a very quick process (we went from an inquiry to being closed in 20 calendar days).

Kevin was helpful and responsive every step of the way. Highly recommend.
Kevin was a dream to work with. He answered all of our questions and made this experience completely seamless. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will recommend in the future
Kevin is great! We worked with him for our initial mortgage financing in 2024 and again in 2025 for our refinance. He responded promptly, answered all my questions, and was easy to work with in every way. If you have the choice, I'd recommend working with him for your mortgage needs. I expect we'll work with him again for any future mortgage needs.
We were very pleased with the service we received from our Mortgage Originator

TThomas C.
Working with Kevin Nelson and his Guaranteed Rate team was the smoothest part of the entire process. They communicated very well and made a complicated process seem simple. They were always responsive and available for questions.

The process was easy. Using the "Rate" website had it issues. I forgot my password and it was quite painful to get my account unlocked. It took several days and multiple phone call for something that shouldn't be difficult. Also, I submitted "Tasks" that were assigned to us and I would get emails (sometimes multiple after re-sending the info needed) from people requesting the information I had already submitted. Very annoying. Despite this everyone was very friendly and professional.

Kevin made the process seamless; he communicated clearly and promptly via, text, email and phone call. This was my 4th time purchasing a home and it was by far the best experience I have ever had. I look forward to doing business Kevin and the Rate.com again in the near future. You've gained a lifelong customer.
