Alan Dillon and his team were marvelous! Questions were answered promptly and information was readily available. Closing was done at an impressive speed and efficiency. We are happy and would recommend. Thank you.

Alan helped us every step of our home buying process. He took the time to walk us through all the numbers and always was so thorough in explaining everything. He was always available to answer any questions we had and took the time to send a personalized video to the seller. Highly recommend Alan for any lending needs.

Alan was amazing from Day 1. He was patient and responsive with us through a long house hunting process.

I had an exceptional experience working with Alan from start to finish. He was truly a pleasure to work with: professional, responsive, and incredibly accommodating of my busy schedule. Everything was handled digitally and remotely with ease, which made the entire process seamless. What stood out most was his responsiveness. He consistently answered my questions in under 24 hours, often much faster, and was available at all times of day, which gave me a huge sense of confidence throughout the process. He has a rare ability to explain things clearly without overcomplicating them, and I always felt informed without feeling overwhelmed. Just as importantly, he made me feel like a priority every step of the way. He strikes the perfect balance of being assertive without ever being pushy, something I really valued during such an important decision. Beyond his professionalism, he’s simply an authentic, genuine person, which made the experience even better. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a lender they can trust.

Alan has been handling my mortgage application. He is very detailed oriented. He had created personalized videos to guide me through the process and explained every step of the way to the final closing of my house. I appreciated his dedication to his clients and he is very pleasant to work with. Thank you, Alan.
Alan is so detail oriented. He creates videos explaining the process and items in the statement which helps me tremendously. I really appreciate his dedication to his job.

I was very happy with Alan's guidance and responsiveness, and I got my loan.

Excellent service and result. Thanks, Alan!

I had a great experience working with Alan. From the very start, he was incredibly quick to respond and always easy to reach, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. Anytime I had a question, he got back to me right away with clear, helpful answers and kept everything moving. It really felt like he was on top of everything and looking out for me the entire time. Alan also took the time to understand my goals and helped me lock in a great rate perfectly. He made what could have been a complicated mess feel easy. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants someone fast, reliable, and genuinely great to work with.

Very helpful and insightful! Went above and beyond for everything!

Since the first phone call I had with Alan, I knew he was the right person to help me in my homeownership journey. He truly does take the time to understand your financial situation, your goals, and guides you every step of the way. Not only is he an amazing lender, he is a very caring person. I was very pleased to work with him while purchasing my first home and then refinancing a few years later.

Alan Dillon at Rate was amazing to work with! He made the entire mortgage process so much easier than I expected — always quick to respond, super organized, and incredibly helpful.

I recommend Alan Dillon without reservations.

Alan is outstanding, patient and knowledgeable. He walked us thru the process and ensured we had done everything that was needed. The home buying experience would not have been so positive if not for Alan’s dedication. He is a gem and highly recommended.

Alan is my guy - helped me finance both of my home purchases. creative, flexible, nice - came to my closings. all around good dude. his catch phrase is all the best and thats what you get.

Alan is a wonderful mortgage broker - extremely friendly, communicative, and knowledgeable. He was there for us through the process cradle to grave and highly recommend him and the team over at Rate.

Worked with Alan Dillon, both him and everyone else at Rate that helped us through the home buying process were premier. He was always available to answer any of my questions or concerns, communication was top-notch, and his approach at getting offers approved in a competitive housing market make him an invaluable asset to have on your side. 10/10 will be working with Alan again in the future!
Easy and clear process, great customer service and regular updates. Big shootout to Alan and his team!

Alan Dillon is a highly-skilled mortgage professional who works well with clients in all price ranges from first-time buyers through multi-million dollar clients. I’ve been privileged to partner with Alan on my clients’ purchase transactions in Northern Virginia and DC over many years. Alan is very patient and thorough in explaining financing to buyers and uses the latest technology and personal touches to help buyers secure the house of their dreams. My real estate clients and I will benefit from continuing to work with Alan for a very long time. You should work with Alan Dillon too!

Alan is an absoluting amazing person and professional to work with when you're purchasing your home! Him and his team explained the process clearly, were always available to answer any questions we had and helped us close fast with a great interest rate! Highly recommending Alan and his team for your home purchase!

Alan was amazing throughout our home buying process. I shouldn’t even call it a “process” because it was done so quickly. He created a personalized video that I have no doubt helped us seal the deal. Alan communicates exceptionally every step of the way. I would recommend anyone working with him.

Alan was fantastic to work with! Not only he was able to help us with a fast closing but also in a great rate in a very competitive market. If you are looking for lender I would highly recommend you to work with Alan and his team!

Alan is hands down the best lender I have had the pleasure of working with. He made the process of buying our new home so easy, was able to secure a 15 day close, and even went the extra mile to make a video for the selling agent to help seal the deal. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Alan was, in a word, indispensable. As a first time homebuyer, I was in the dark about a lot of the process. Alan explained each step of the process, laid out every option and their pros and cons, and was in constant communication throughout the entire process. He completed closing in 10 days and was my go-between for the entire process. In addition to all of the professionalism and competence, Alan also happens to be an eminently jovial lad. Many of our phone conversations ended up lasting a little longer than the exchange of information as we shared some laughs and great conversation. If you need a friend to help you through a homebuying process efficiently and knowledgeably, there is no better choice.

Allan is knowledgeable, personable, and patient. He will work on your behalf for the best.

Alan helped us immensely with our loan! We wanted to close on our house faster than originally planned and he got us over the finish line. Highly recommend.

Alan was fantastic from start to finish!

Alan is a pro and was really helpful in guiding us through the process in a way that was accommodating to our specific needs. We especially appreciated his understanding of VA loans and expertise in keeping that option open—which was the best solution for us—even in an environment where home sellers prefer to avoid VA because of more stringent requirements. I’d recommend Alan to anyone who needs a professional with a friendly and personal touch.

I highly recommend working with Alan Dillon for all your mortgage lending needs. Alan is professional, responsive and always put our interest first in our home buying process and I'm certain he'll do the same for you. If you're in the market to purchase a home, I would reach out to Alan immediately. All the best!

Allan is the absolute best in the business! He makes buying a home pleasant and as easy as possible. We have worked with him to purchase our last two homes, and would not hesitate to work with him again. Our moves were time sensitive, necessary (because of job changes) and stressful as we have a household of 6 and pets! He made the entire process easy and communicated with us regularly. Not only is he good at his job, but he is just a good person too!
Alan was a professional customer-focused and effective representative. He explained the process at each step, used tact yet remained aggressive to achieve my loan approval.
Alan Dillon and his work
Alan was great and our closing came very quickly.
Quick, easy, and convenient. Alan was a great advocate for us and kept us informed every step of the way.
They were all very clear and helpful to understand my loan regulations and fascinated all my papers for signing in.
Excellent, smooth and responsive service.

Alan went above and beyond in every way - speed, tenacity, communications. I’d definitely do business with him again.

Alan is fantastic. This is the second loan he secured for me and the second time I was successful getting my dream home thanks to Alan. I can’t wait to enjoy many years of happiness in my forever home!

As a first-time homebuyer, I was pretty intimidated by the process. But Alan was so attentive, easy to reach, and happy to answer any questions about all of the fine print. By the end of the process, he felt like family! I'll always be grateful his hard work. Highly recommend him!

We have worked with Alen Dillon over the year . We have found Alan to be extremely knowledgeable and professional. We have always trusted his professional advice with our investment property and our home he was very good, ALAN had to refer us to other brokerages with lower interest rates, which were able to do exactly what we needed. Alan is trust worthy !

My daughter was buying her first place - given the service and rates Alan has provided me there was no question who we should call. Alan was SO patient with her - walking her through every step of the process! It took me back to when I made my first purchase and the lender spoke to me as if I had done several loans. Alan always tailors his delivery based on each buyers' loan experience. He truly is THE BEST!

Super friendly and Professional Lender! We were recommended by one friend of my fiancé, and it was a great choice for listening up. Alan is outstanding. He is easy to be in touch with throughout the entire home purchasing process, and on top of it, he is a great communicator where he shares the video via email by explaining every single detail both to buyer and seller. Highly recommend working with Alan if you are planning to be dealing in DMV housing market!

I work with Alan for my first home purchase and I can’t say how thankful I am. He will sincerely listen your financial situation and find the best way to purchase the house. He is super fast and accurate at the same time. I had to close my first home in few weeks and Alan helped me to go through this process very well. I sincerely recommend Alan to everyone!!!

We came to USA in Jan 2023 and didn’t expect to buy a home for at least few years, however Alan was honest with his recommendations and adviced to buy ASAP, as rates being high means less competition. He was definitely not wrong so we decided to go ahead with it and the sellers accepted our offer on Thanksgiving day. Alan's professionalism exceeded the expectations, he acted fast by doing a video to Listing Agent which promised quick close. Also, Alan recommended doing the PowerBid Plus Pre-Approval, which meant that the Underwriter review all your documents before you made the offer and this Underwriters Pre-Approval strengthened our offer. Not to mention, Alan was available all the time and even arranged a face to face meeting with us when we had extra questions. During Christmas time when he was overseas with his family, he was still coordinating the closing and made sure everything went seamlessly. We were lucky to have found Alan and we send our most highest recommendations!

Alan was an outstanding resource. He is profoundly knowledgeable about the market, is clued in to absolutely everything that is going on, and goes above and beyond to keep you from being surprised. He also stayed on the job and helped me in dropping my interest rate pretty much as close to closing as was possible. This type of thing isn't always doable, and I wasn't expecting it, but he is relentless. Alan advocates, communicates and walks you through how every thing can go so you have a comfort level with what can be a stressful experience. Would highly recommend Guaranteed Rate, but specifically Alan for sure. He made this super easy to manage.
