Mike was fantastic to work with- very attentive, explained things well, always pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend him!

I didn’t need to think about a single detail of my mortgage, Mike and his team took care of it all, and they got me a 5.8% rate (in this economy!)

Mike and team are amazing. Highly recommend working with them when looking for a lender. They got the job done and put my stress to rest. Best team!

I cannot say enough good things about my recent experience with Rate the Rate Team. Anyone who has bought a home knows that the moving and mortgage process can be incredibly stressful, but the entire journey was a breeze thanks to Mike Hailey, Amy, and the rest of the Rate team. From day one, they were incredibly proactive, anticipating our needs and catching little details before we even had to ask. The communication was flawless; they were always accessible—no matter when I reached out with a panicked question, they were quick to respond, completely on top of things, and immediately put my mind at ease. It truly felt like they were always one step ahead of the process. What really stood out to us, though, was the level of care. Mike Hailey and Amy didn’t just treat us like another transaction; they went out of their way to make us feel like family. Knowing we had such a dedicated, hard-working team in our corner made all the difference in the world as we transitioned into our new home. If you need a mortgage and insurance team that actually has your back and treats you with genuine care, look no further than Mike, Hailey, Amy, and the Rate crew. I would give them 10 stars if I could!

Good relationship with the bank, great customer support

Working with Mike Tevani (NMLS#327918) at Guaranteed Rate was an exceptional experience. Tavani knows his stuff, is a great communicator and makes the overall process seamless. I felt like he fought for us every step of the way and helped us secure the best possible rate across multiple lenders - they beat out 3 other lenders. Tavani is a total pro and I cannot recommend him enough if you want to, in his words “rock and roll”, and bust through the finish line with ease! Cheers.

Mike was fantastic. He was available whenever we needed him. Very patient and a pleasure to work with.

My husband and I have worked with Mike twice in the last five years, and it’s been a great experience start to finish both times. The process of home-buying and securing a loan is super overwhelming, but Mike and his team kept us organized/on track, and were super responsive to jump on the phone and answer all of our questions. We felt so supported by Mike and his team - highly recommend them!

Excellent experience from beginning to end. Mike Tavani is fabulous. Most competitive rate. And a supportive team.

Lacey G.

Our agent was friendly and genuinely wanted to help us better understand the entire process. Also, signing paperwork is hell, but Rate's interface and portal made it VERY easy.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Mike and his team. From start to finish, he was incredibly accommodating, always making himself available to answer questions and walk us through every step of the process.

Mike is genuine, communicative, and educational! He helped me and my wife understand every step of the mortgage application process and was precisely the type of expert we needed. I would recommend him to anyone, and will use him again if I ever need to.

Mike Tavani and his team were all around rockstars from start to finish. Mike ensured we had everything that was needed as we went throughout the entire process and allowed us to see each step of the way during the loan process simply just by using the Rate app. This process was absolutely seamless. 10 out of 10 would recommend these guys at Guaranteed Rate! 🙌🤙

Marissa K.

Guaranteed Rate, and especially Mike Tavani, were excellent to work with! As a first-time homebuyer, this entire process was completely new to me and I had a lot of questions. Mike was very professional, honest, attentive, and so helpful at breaking everything down. He always responded promptly, even outside of normal business hours, and made the process go very smoothly. I also had very pleasant experiences working with Laura Powers and Amy Versace. The entire team made this process very enjoyable and I am grateful for all of their hard work!

Benjamin F.

Because they offer Ecellent service right from start

Rosemonde K.

Fast response times and comprehensive help

Christopher S.

Justin was extremely helpful throughout the long process. Being that it was a longer close, he kept me updated along the way, was able to answer all of my questions and locked me in at a good rate.

Daniel G.

Working with Rate, specifically Mike Tavani (and team!) has been nothing short of amazing. It can be intimidating/overwhelming as a first time homebuyer, but Mike made the lending process feel so easy. My husband and I couldn't have had a better experience. Mike is straight up, and we felt supported throughout the entire transaction.

Mike was super helpful and extremely responsive throughout the whole process. 10/10!

Mike was a rock star - always gave great advice and got us to the finish line on time, saving us a ton of money in the process. Thank you Mike and team!

Mike and team were super helpful throughout the entire process making it stress free from start to closing.

Mike Z.

We cannot say enough praise for Mike and his team! As first time homebuyers, my husband and I would not have been able to navigate this process without his knowledge and enthusiasm. He was available to answer questions whenever we needed, and he was proactive about resolving any potential issues before they even arose. He also got us a great rate in a challenging time and made sure that we understood exactly what we were getting into.

Working with Mike has been such a pleasure. He made the process very easy to understand and was on call to answer any questions I have with the lending process. Definitely recommend!

Mike Tavani is an absolute superstar! Working with him is always a pleasure, but he truly went above and beyond during the holidays. Despite two tight timelines on mortgages for my clients, Mike didn’t miss a beat. He worked tirelessly, kept me informed every step of the way, and ensured everything stayed on track. Thanks to his dedication, knowledge, and professionalism, both deals closed seamlessly. If you’re looking for someone who delivers exceptional results under any circumstances, Mike is your guy.

We were in a really stressful home buying situation with our original mortgage lender and Mike stepped in to save the day! He moved quickly, was so easy to talk to, and reassured us along the way. Highly recommend him to any home buyer!

Mike is a Shark. In the best way possible. He will get you the best rates and prices possible. In an industry where honesty and trust is hard to find, you’ll be happy you’re working with Mike. Do yourself a favor, let Mike help you for your lending needs!

Mike and his team did such a wonderful job of streamlining this very complex and complicated process for us as first-time buyers! Mike spent endless minutes on the phone with me discussing new terms, answering questions, and making sure we were comfortable with everything. Would highly recommend him and his team!

It was such a pleasure to work with Mike— he was clear, organized, efficient, and always quick to respond. In addition to his professionalism, he was very positive and down to earth. As first time homebuyers, the mortgage loan process felt overwhelming. Mike helped us feel confident every step of the way. If you’re working with him, you’re in good hands!
