Working with Mary Beth was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Navigating mortgage options, disclosures, and paperwork can easily be the most stressful part of buying a home, but Mary Beth’s incredibly positive attitude and helpfulness made all the difference. She was always there to answer my questions, kept me updated every step of the way, and made sure everything went smoothly right up to closing day. I highly recommend Mary Beth to ANYONE looking for a loan officer who genuinely cares and delivers top-tier support!

MaryBeth was amazing. She went on this journey with us, guiding us every step of the way. Even when we didnt reach out to her, she'd call us and see how the search was going and if we needed anything from her. And often we did! And she delivered! She was on point, and always made time for us. We never had to guess where she went or look for her, she made herself available for us. She is such a people person. She made us feel comfortable, informed and kept things stress free. She even went to the closing with us even though she didnt have to be there! We absolutely appreciated her support. If you want a good mortgage lender that makes this journey smoother, reach out to Marybeth!

MaryBeth is the best! She made the process of buying our home easy and enjoyable. She is always available to answer any questions or concerns. We loved working with her!

I had a great experience working with Marybeth. She was transparent throughout the entire process, clearly explaining each step and making sure I understood all my options. Communication was consistent and timely, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. What stood out most was how easy she was to work with—approachable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me secure the best outcome. I always felt supported and never pressured. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy mortgage lender.

Marybeth was amazing to work with. I highly recommend her.

Mary Beth Brannigan at RATE was absolutely amazing throughout our home purchase. We had to sell our home in order to buy, and when our buyers delayed the closing, she handled everything seamlessly. We found multiple houses where deals fell through, and each time Mary Beth simply moved the loan over without issue and kept everything current. When we finally found the right home, she had my mortgage cleared and ready to close in just 10 days. Her communication was excellent — she kept us up to date every step of the way and followed up consistently with our Realtor to make sure nothing slipped. Mary Beth is kind, precise, meticulous, and truly gets the job done. She made a stressful process feel manageable, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Mary Beth was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the mortgage process. Her attention to detail, deep knowledge, and clear communication truly set her apart. She consistently went above and beyond to make sure I understood every step, proactively followed up on items, and was always available to answer questions with patience and clarity. What really stood out to me was how much she genuinely cares. Mary Beth wasn’t just focused on getting a loan done she was focused on doing what was best for me. That level of care, professionalism, and integrity is rare and incredibly appreciated, especially during such an important financial decision. I would highly recommend Mary Beth to anyone looking for a lender who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly invested in their clients’ success.

Many years ago, I initially used Marybeth because she was a friend and I wanted to give her business. She did not disappoint then and I’ve continued to use her several more times, including our most recent purchase we just closed on a couple days ago. There is no one I will ever work with but her. Marybeth’s customer service is excellent, she is knowledgeable, and delivers quickly on all aspects of the process. I cannot recommend her more highly. She’s simply the best in the business!!!

An absolute pleasure to work with. MaryBeth made the entire home buying process painless; from the initial purchase offer through the closing.

Marybeth at Rate was amazing (along with the rest of the Rate team. We needed to close on a house quickly. It took only 15 days!! Marybeth was super helpful for the entire process. She patiently answered my many questions. She made herself available via phone, text or email, whichever was more convenient for me. The whole process with Marybeth and Rate was very easy. The portal for uploading documents was great as well. Closing a loan in 15 days was incredibly fast. Nothing but great things to say about Rate and especially Marybeth and the team. I 100% recommend her if you have mortgage needs!

Marybeth is amazing to work with and truly wonderful. She helped me so much in the process of buying my home! Some of the things I really appreciated and that really stood out with her is that she listened to me and my questions and gave me the answers that I needed. She also very clearly communicated with me as she guided me through the process. Those things really meant a lot to me and helped me. She also has such a great and positive attitude it was a pleasure to work with her. I would recommend her to any one of my friends or family!

Marybeth and the all team was excellent!!!

MaryBeth worked so hard for me to make sure my loan needs were meet. I will not use another person

MaryBeth was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our mortgage refinance process!

Hi MaryBeth It was very nice working with you , I greatly appreciate your service. The process of getting my mortgage was easy start to finish .

Marybeth in one word is simply amazing! We worked together for almost exactly one year searching for our first home. I met Marybeth at an open house and she called me that week to see if we were interested in that particular house, we passed but Marybeth would call me every week to see if there was anything that she could do to help my wife and I find our forever home. She is extremely responsive, friendly like no other, and only wants the best for you. If you are a client of Marybeth, you will be well take care of. She was instrumental in us getting the house we have today as she would initiate conversation between interested parties and get things done. Simply said, there are not enough kind words to describe Marybeth or the process of working with her and her team. Thank you for the diligent work ethic, constant offers to help, and the thoughtfulness you showed me and my wife. We truly appreciate the work that was needed to get us to where we are today! Thank you!

We could not have closed on our home so fast without MaryBeth. She is amazing!!! So attentive, efficient, and organized. I loved working with MaryBeth and her team. Truly made the mortgage experience so easy and painless!

Marybeth was an absolute joy to work with. We are first time home buyers and she was available at all hours of the day to answer our many questions and help guide us through the home buying process. She continually went above and beyond for us and we are so thankful to have worked with her! Highly recommend her for all your mortgage needs! Thank you again Marybeth!

Exceptional Service – Above and Beyond! I can’t recommend Marybeth from Guaranteed Rate enough! From the moment we began the home-buying process, she was an absolute star. She helped me get pre-approved quickly, which made everything easier. Over the course of 8 months, she remained in constant contact, always available to answer questions and provide guidance. Her dedication and professionalism throughout the process were simply outstanding. What sets Marybeth apart is her continued support even after the sale was complete. She provided me with valuable information and advice that has made settling into my new home much smoother. If you’re looking for a loan officer who is with you every step of the way – and even beyond – Marybeth is the one to trust. Thank you, Marybeth, for making my home-buying experience such a success!

Marybeth is absolutely a fantastic professional to work with when it comes to home loans. We had a great experience in working with her during our loan application process. Will highly recommend her name to the future clients. All the very best to you, Marybeth.

From beginning to end Marybeth was an absolute pleasure to work with! If we were in school I would give her an A++, if we were discussing restaurants she deserves a Michelin Star. You get the point. Marybeth made sure that everything went smoothly, always explained things thoroughly, and followed up at every step during the mortgage process, making sure I was okay, and I understood what was going on, always keeping me in the loop. I was able to close in less than 30 days, and Marybeth was a huge part of making it happen. Purchasing a house is a big deal and nerve wrecking and stressful enough as it is, but Marybeth and the team at Rate made it seem almost effortless. We even shared a few laughs along the way. Definitely, highly recommend using Marybeth and Rate for all your mortgage lending needs.
