As an established real estate agent who primarily lists homes, I have seen my share of mortgage brokers. Many are good, some are very good. But the one who truly stands out is Bruce Salik from Rate. Truly, Bruce, and the team he has working with him, are the best of the best. Recently I had 2 difficult condo listings. The boards weren’t meeting the banks’ requirements. Bruce happened to have both those buyers and went to extraordinary efforts to help the boards change what needed to be changed so the banks would make the loans. Who does that? Someone who knows what to do, someone who cares about his clients, and someone willing to put in the extra effort and time. I don’t believe either of those deals would have closed were it not for Bruce. If you are in the market for a mortgage broker, you would be remiss not to work with him. He has an amazing track record as well as respect from his real estate community.

Purchased a home with Bruce as the lender in 2021, and again in 2026! Bruce and the team were again fantastic to work with. Very communicative at every step, clear with what they required from the documentation side, and easy to connect with even as we needed assistance on the weekend. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

I had an amazing experience with Rate inc .. The entire process was smooth, professional, and well organized from beginning to closing. The team was very helpful, responsive, and always willing to answer our questions especially Kelly !! They guided us through each step and made the home-buying process much less stressful. We truly appreciate all their help and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable mortgage lender.

Bruce Salik and his team at Guarantee Rate are, without a doubt, the very best at what they do. We’ve worked with Bruce before, and once again, he exceeded every expectation. From the moment we got pre-approved to the day we sat at the closing table, the level of service they provided was exceptional. Every step of the process felt personalized, and we always knew we were in good hands. What truly sets Bruce and his team apart is how they go above and beyond. They didn’t just help us secure our mortgage—they assisted us with shopping for homeowners insurance, setting up a home security system, and even scheduling our utilities so everything would be ready by moving day. They thought of everything, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth, organized, and stress-free. Working with Bruce again only reinforced why we came back. His knowledge, professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care for his clients are unmatched. If you’re looking for a mortgage team that treats you like family and is committed to making your home-buying experience as seamless as possible, I cannot recommend Bruce Salik and his team highly enough. There is simply no competition. Thank you Team

Bruce and his entire team are incredible. Guaranteed Rate has now helped me through two mortgages, and I truly can’t recommend them enough. Bruce has been my main broker for both, and what I love most about working with him and the team is that they are always there. They are unbelievably responsive, I text them at all hours, and they make you feel like they genuinely care and are personally invested in getting you across the finish line. My most recent purchase came with a tricky timing situation, and they went above and beyond. They ran what felt like 10 different scenarios, walked me through every possible option, worked with me on rates and timing, and helped me find a path forward. There were moments when I honestly wasn’t sure I was going to get there, but they made it happen. If you want a mortgage team that is attentive, personal, responsive, truly feels like they are on your side, and gets you a great, competitive rate, I would absolutely recommend Bruce and his team. They cheer you on throughout the process and genuinely celebrate with you when it all comes together. A+ experience, 10/10!
Response from Owner

Knowing that you felt supported, heard, and personally cared for throughout both of your mortgage journeys is exactly what we strive for every single day. We're so glad that Bruce's responsiveness and dedication made such a meaningful difference, especially during those tricky timing situations where the path forward wasn't always clear. Running through every possible scenario and working through the details with you to find the right solution is what the team is here for, and hearing that it all came together for you makes it so rewarding. We absolutely love celebrating these milestones alongside our clients, and your kind words remind us why we are so passionate about what we do. A+ and 10/10 right back at you, Cyntia — it has been a true pleasure being part of not just one, but two of your home purchases. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and for recommending us so wholeheartedly!

Positive experience! Not just Bruce, but the team was "on it" and had a clear, easy-to-use interface to share required documents. Contract to close in less than a month, no hiccups! That might not be everyone's experience, but if you do your part as the buyer, they definitely hold up their end.
