I had a great experience working with Greg Wickstrand and Rate. They helped me work through a complicated loan process. I highly recommend them.

Greg was invaluable in getting my bridge loan set up, navigating a bunch of not-easy (at least, for me) situations. I had lots of questions, which he answered fully and at a level I could understand. Give him a call!

Working with Greg's team was seamless. From start to finish, they were very hands on and their offer was very competitive compared to others I reviewed. Was pleased with the service quality, and they were there to answer any questions I had promptly.

We are delighted to hear your experience was seamless and competitive. Thank you, Jack, for trusting Greg's team with your needs.

Greg and his team did a great job for us. They made things easy and seamless.
Response from Owner
Thank you for sharing, Sally. Making the process easy and seamless is always the goal. We appreciate your trust in Greg and the team.

I recently found myself in need of a move, came across the too-good-to-be-true listing, contacted Greg regarding a mortgage strategy, and closed the transaction in a little over three weeks. I worked in real estate for over twenty years and rarely saw even cash transactions close that quickly. Greg had a high-touch approach to my path from start to finish, including weekend calls and a conference call while he was driving to his wedding anniversary site in Mexico. Greg is the personification of the phrase work ethic. I am eager to recommend his services to my former real estate colleagues.

It was great working with Greg on the refi of our condo. He was on top of it walking us through the process of obtaining the loan. Returning my calls in the evening and weekends. Easy to work with.”

Greg was absolutely fantastic! My husband and I are first‑time home buyers, and he walked us through every detail of the loan process with patience and clarity. He made everything so easy, from getting pre‑approved to securing our final financing. We couldn’t be happier with the support he provided.

Efficient and easy to navigate

Greg is great to work with. He kept an eye on the interest rates. When they dropped enough to make a difference in my monthly payment, he reached out to me, gave me all the details, and I closed on a refi, reducing my monthly payment! Thank you Greg!

Greg and his team were great, again! Three years ago, Greg helped us through what could have been a difficult mortgage (due to timing) and made it easy and flawless. Since then he’s kept track of when the conditions were right for our refinance, and again, went flawlessly! Thank you!

Here is your refined review including the CEO and company name: ⸻ I recently had the pleasure of working with Rate, led by SVP Greg Wickstrand, and I cannot speak highly enough about the experience. From beginning to end, the team was efficient, professional, and genuinely caring. Every step of the mortgage process was handled with clarity, organization, and prompt communication. What can often feel overwhelming was instead smooth and reassuring. What truly sets Rate apart is their human approach. I felt heard, supported, and respected throughout the entire journey. The team took the time to understand my financial goals and provided thoughtful guidance tailored to my situation. There was never a moment where I felt like just another transaction. Under Greg Wickstrand’s leadership, it’s clear that professionalism and client care are at the core of the company’s values. I am deeply grateful for their dedication and would confidently recommend Rate to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and compassionate mortgage partner.

Greg Wickstrand and his team are on top of EVERYTHING!!!
Made the whole refi process a cinch!

Greg was very nice, very professional and communicated in a way that I can understand. Detail by detail. Everything he said would happen, happened the exact way he explained. His team was also amazing. Listened to me and all my questions and answered them in a timely manner. They use an app which is very self explanatory and user friendly. Going through Escrow was a breeze! She was very nice and pleasant to work with. Her and her team were great and very knowledgeable. They made closing easy and made sure I had nothing to worry about. I would definitely recommend using Greg and his team to all family and friends and for my future needs.

Helped greatly with our loan, thank you greg!
Response from Owner
We genuinely admire your positive feedback, Rj! Thank you for choosing Greg Wickstrand at Rate for your loan needs.

I highly recommend Greg Wickstrand and Rate.com for your next refinance. I recently retired and finished a rental property renovation incurring $65K in credit card debt. After being denied a second combo loan to restructure card debt due to my retirement income, I contact Greg who sold me on a DSCR refi loan based solely on rental income. The process only took 4 weeks, I was able to refi property at the current interest rate with a cash-out, and paid off all my credit card debt. I can't thank Greg and his team enough for all their help and professional service. Thank you! - Jon H.
Response from Owner

Greg Wickstrand went above and beyond to help my husband and I buy our dream home together. He was recommended to me by my dad, and our experience with Greg was fantastic. We had a long process of putting offers on homes while trying to sell our first home and having deals fall through for reasons outside of our control. Greg was there for us through it all. He was diligent about helping us understand how the process works and how we can get the home we were looking for. He went out of his way to show us multiple loan analyses on different properties to help us decide what would be the best route for us. He was punctual and frequently called us to check in and see if we had any questions for him. He explained things well and was very thorough and timely. We are forever grateful for all his hard work to help us start our lives together as newlyweds in our dream home!

Awesome communication and swift process
Everything was fast an easy and explained thoroughly.
Greg Wickstrand was exceedingly accessible, and literally helped me for three months prior to starting the loan process work through Prop 19 ramifications of a purchase versus a refinance. He did research, answered a million questions, and gave me choices at the time of securing the loan. Once the choice of loans was made the process was straightforward, quick, and easy…
Excellent service throughout the entire process.
Greg's team has always provided outstanding customer service.
Professional and knowledgable GR employees.
They did a fantastic Job in getting our approval done in 12 days
Greg was very helpful with me, making my decision.
Greg and his team are exceptional. They way they communicate to organization skills are top notch.
