“He was terrific from start to finish: knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. He anticipates issues before they arise [and] keeps everything moving forward.”
We had an outstanding experience working with Paul at Rate. He was terrific from start to finish: knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. We’ve now completed two successful transactions with him, and both times he made the process feel seamless and easy.
What really sets Paul apart is his ability to combine deep expertise with a practical approach. He anticipates issues before they arise, communicates clearly, and keeps everything moving forward without unnecessary friction.
We’ve confidently referred Paul to friends and family, and will continue to do so for anyone looking for someone who is savvy and delivers results. On top of it all, he’s just a great guy to work with.
Highly recommend.
Response from Owner
This means so much, Brooks — thank you so much for taking the time to share such kind and thoughtful words!!! Working with you (twice now!) has been such a great experience on our end too, and it's always wonderful to hear that the process felt as smooth and seamless from your side as it did from ours.
I'm really glad we were able to keep things smooth and straightforward both times — that's always the goal, especially with how crazy and overwhelming the process can feel at times. Knowing that you felt supported and that things kept moving forward without unnecessary friction means a great deal to me.
It's incredibly rewarding to hear that the combination of staying ahead of potential issues and keeping communication clear made a real difference for you throughout both transactions. That's exactly what I strive for with every client, and it's gratifying to know it came through in our work together.
And the referrals to your friends and family? That's honestly the biggest compliment we can possibly receive. The fact that you've trusted us enough to recommend Paul to the people closest to you truly means the world. We don't take that trust lightly, and we'll always work hard to make sure your referrals have just as positive an experience as you did.
Looking forward to the next one whenever it comes, Brooks — and thank you again for the incredibly kind words and continued trust. It's a pleasure working with great people like you!
Best,
Paul
“Paul and his team made what is historically known to be one of life's most stressful events, seamless. They took great care of absolutely everything in an organized fashion.”
My husband and I first met Paul 13 years ago while in the process of purchasing our home. Our trusted realtor, who was also a good friend, insisted we use him!
Paul and his team made what is historically known to be one of life's most stressful events, seamless. They took great care of absolutely everything in an organized fashion so that it wasn't difficult for us to provide the documentation to bring us to a successful closing.
Since that time, we have used Paul and his team for 3 separate properties, each with the same positive experience.
We have also used him on two different occasions to acquire pre-approval status for 2 other offers that unfortunately never materialized due to prices going higher than we were ultimately to go. On each of those occasions, we have no regrets and remain grateful to Paul and his team's work and guidance which allowed for us to be serious contenders throughout the process.
If you are in the market for a mortgage to purchase a property or in need of a refinance, look no further than Paul Archibald for a 10 out of 10 experience!

“As first time home buyers buying a foreclosure, Paul and his team relieved a lot of the pressure. We always received timely responses and were treated with patience.”
I cannot overstate how glad my wife and I were to have Paul and his team in our corner for our recent purchase. As first time home buyers, we decided to make it extra difficult on ourselves by buying a foreclosure property in an attempt to not get sucked into the currently chaotic market. We knew going into it there would be headaches, but Paul and his team relieved a lot of the pressure. We always received timely responses to our questions, of which we had many, and were always treated with patience and understanding. In addition to competitive rates, the team really set themselves apart with their 5-star service. They were proactive and moving things along when they could, as well as ready to react at a moments notice once all the foreclosure title issues were resolved. If you're struggling to choose a loan provider among the innumerable options, look no further than Paul and the team at Guaranteed Rate.
Response from Owner
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words, Patrick! It truly means the world to us to receive such a thoughtful and detailed review. We are so happy that we were able to make your first home buying experience a positive one, especially given the added complexity of purchasing a foreclosure property. We completely understand how stressful and overwhelming the process can be, and we are glad that we were able to relieve some of that pressure for you and your wife along the way.
This is exactly the level of service that my team and I strive to provide to each and every one of our clients. Your patience and trust in us throughout the entire process, from navigating the foreclosure title issues to answering all of your questions, truly made it a pleasure to work with you both. We always aim to be proactive, responsive, and ready to act at a moment's notice, and we are thrilled to hear that those efforts made a real difference in your experience.
Congratulations to you and your wife on your new home - it is a big milestone and you both deserve it! If you ever have any questions or if there is anything I or my team can assist you with in the future, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are always happy to help! ~Paul
“Nobody was able to come close to the rates Paul provided me. The process itself was efficient, seamless, and overall a breeze! We were able to close early and could not be happier.”
If you are in the market to buy a new home and need a mortgage, call Paul Archibald. I shopped around like most people (local & national), and nobody was able to come close to the rates Paul provided me. Paul and his highly-capable team at Guaranteed Rate are nothing short of amazing. Paul has a full team of professionals that handle every part of the mortgage process from pre-approval, underwriting, to closing. That said, Paul remained engaged throughout the entire process which was excellent.
The process itself was efficient, seamless, and overall a breeze! The best part was the additional resources (lawyers, appraisers, insurance comparisons) that were made available to us. They were able to take care of everything and provided us with the best prices for our insurances. At the end of the day, we were able to close early and with a mortgage we could not be happier with! We will be returning to Paul & Team when we decided to return to the market without a doubt.
Paul, thank you and thank you to your team. You made the mortgage process a great experience for our family!
“Paul and his team led the process and were attentive and timely in their communication the entire way. I would highly recommend using them, they are a pleasure to work with!”

“He is knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to work with. He's also honest and fair ... His team is also quick and supportive, and went out of their way to make the application smooth.”
I have done multiple refinancings with Paul Archibald, and highly recommend him for anyone considering a refi. He is knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to work with. He's also honest and fair - in fact, one time he actually gave me the advice that I should NOT do a refi given the current interest rates and my individual circumstances. His team is also quick and supportive, and went out of their way to make the application smooth and easy. I would definitely use him again, as I am already a repeat customer.
Response from Owner
Much appreciated, Pete! You've always been terrific to work with - I look forward to providing you more of the same whenever opportunities arise!

“We had a fantastic experience working with Paul and his team on the purchase of our Cape house! From start to finish, Paul was incredibly responsive”

The whole process was seamless—we had zero issues along the way and were able to close in less than 60 days. Buying a second home can come with a lot of moving pieces, but Paul and his team made everything feel straightforward and stress-free. We always knew where things stood and what was needed from us.
We couldn’t have asked for a better lending experience and would absolutely recommend Paul and his team to anyone looking to purchase a home!

Paul is best in class. We’ve worked with three other mortgage brokers prior and are so happy we found him. It is immediately evident when you speak with Paul that he knows his stuff and will do everything he can to get you the best rate (to which he did!) The level of client service was exceptional from start to finish, and we really appreciated how proactive and dedicated he was throughout the entire process.

I'm so glad that commitment came through clearly in your experience, and that you never felt like you had to wait around for answers or updates. That level of communication and dedication is something I truly pride myself on, and it means a great deal to know it made a real difference for you.
My goal has always been to ensure that my clients get the absolute best rate possible, and I'm so happy we were able to achieve that together. But as you know, my commitment doesn't stop at closing. I'll absolutely continue to keep a close eye on opportunities and possibilities that could benefit you even further down the road, because that ongoing relationship is just as important to me as the initial process.
I truly look forward to continuing to work with you and supporting you in the future. Thank you again so much for the trust you've placed in me and for taking the time to share such a wonderful recommendation — it genuinely means the world!

As first time home buyers, Paul and his team guided us perfectly through the entire process. He and his team was super responsive, picks up the phone immediately and addressed my questions in timely basis which really helped during the offering process where it’s really time sensitive.
Paul also introduced me with a process called Powerbid which I found extremely efficient. This made my post offer process easy, not have to go thru a fire drill.
He also communicates really well with the buying agent and the lawyers who supports the closing process.

Paul and his team were extremely friendly, organized and efficient. They guided my wife and myself step by step through the process answering any questions we had. In my case I met Paul through my real estate agent on a Friday afternoon. I found a beach house and wanted to place an offer on the house that weekend before it went to market. Paul worked the weekend and gave me an approval letter Sunday afternoon to submit which untimately was accepted by the owner.
I am extremely satisified with Paul and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know.

“He is knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to work with. He's also honest and fair”
I have done multiple refinancings with Paul Archibald, and highly recommend him for anyone considering a refi. He is knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to work with. He's also honest and fair - in fact, one time he actually gave me the advice that I should NOT do a refi given the current interest rates and my individual circumstances. His team is also quick and supportive, and went out of their way to make the application smooth and easy. I would definitely use him again, as I am already a repeat customer.
