“Working with Michel was phenomenal. ... She was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in helping us succeed.”

Working with Michel was phenomenal. She was truly a mortgage angel from start to finish. She explained every step of the process clearly, answered all of my questions with patience, and was always available whenever I needed clarification or reassurance. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but she made everything feel manageable and helped me feel confident every step of the way. Most importantly, I felt I could trust her completely, which meant so much during such a major life event. She was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in helping us succeed. I couldn't have asked for a better lender and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

“Michel made us feel like we were her only client from start to finish. Her commitment to making our home purchase smooth and stress-free was unlike anything we ever expected.”

Michel Wright! From my very first call, Michel was so easy to talk to—she spent hours consulting with me, explaining every step (sometimes more than once!), double-checking all the math and then doing it again - she never once made me feel out of the loop. Michel took every call—even when she was on the way to family events. That’s the kind of dedication you just don’t see every day. Michel even showed up at our closing (which, let’s be honest, is above and beyond), and she’s continued to check in with me after everything was signed. In a word: AMAZING!! We are truly so grateful for her hard work—Michel made us feel like we were her only client from start to finish. Her commitment to making our home purchase smooth and stress-free was unlike anything we ever expected. Guaranteed Rate Affinity is truly lucky to have Michel on their team!

“Working with Michel Wright is such a pleasure. She knows what she’s doing and she always gets the job done earlier than the deadline.”

Working with Michel Wright is such a pleasure. She knows what she’s doing and she always gets the job done earlier than the deadline. She is friendly, bubbly, and always willing to help out. She make sure that the borrowers know exactly what they’re getting into even in the future so that they can make proper decisions about the house they choose. As a REALTOR working with her, it’s wonderful because I never have to ask her: Where is this or where is that? She’s always very communicative and turns everything in on time. I’ve been working with Michel for the last eight years and I’m happy to continue working with her. She’s never delayed any of the closings that I’ve worked on with her and that’s saying a lot.

Thank you so much!!! When I get to work with amazing and professional realtors like you- it makes things go so much more smoothly! You truly educate your clients and every transaction means true partnership to help the client reach their homeownership goal! You are top notch and it’s truly my privilege to get to work with you!

“She made the lending process smooth, educational, and even enjoyable. It’s clear that Michel genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in delivering exceptional service.”

I highly recommend Michel Wright for her professionalism, responsiveness, attention to detail, and outstanding work ethic. I recently had the pleasure of representing a buyer who worked with Michel, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Throughout the transaction, Michel provided timely updates, clear communication, and thoughtful answers to every question or clarification we needed. She made the lending process smooth, educational, and even enjoyable for everyone involved. It’s clear that Michel genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in delivering exceptional service. I would confidently give her 5 stars and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a lender.

Response from Owner

“She really understands what she is doing and answered every question with an explanation of why which made us confident in every decision we made!”

Michel is amazing. She worked with us all the way to the final closing in which she caught and corrected a error on the final paperwork and had it corrected in minutes. She really understands what she is doing and answered every question with an explanation of why which made us confident in every decision we made! Can't recommend her enough!

Response from Owner

I’m so excited for you on your new homeownership journey! You were both so on-the-ball and wonderful to work with! I wish you many happy years in your new home!! ❤️

“She guided me through the whole process, explained the process, answered the phone when I called with a question, treated me like a human being, and I couldn't be happier.”

I cant say enough good things about Michel Wright. I said to her what I would like, asked her if they were reasonable and she not only helped me get loan that I wanted but she went over and above. She guided me through the whole process, explained the process, answered yhe phone when i called with a question, treated me like a human being, and I couldn't be happier with Guaranteed Rate Affinity and Michel Wright. This Company was the way to go !!!!

“She surpasses all expectations and is truly gifted at getting to closing. She was able to even get us to the closing table 10 days early!!”

I can not recommened Michel and her team enough. We were first time home buyers and knew very little about the lending process. She walked us through the process, gave us different options that were available, etc. From offer to close, Michel replied to our emails promptly, answered every question no matter how silly. She was clear in the steps we needed to do to continue the process, so we were well informed throughout. She surpasses all expectations and is truly gifted at getting to closing. She was able to even get us to the closing table 10 days early!! If you are looking for a home or to refinance, Michel should be your only go to.

Michel helped us purchase a home after moving from FL to PA, and she really made the process easy! She is organized, professional, communicative, and answered every question I had in detail.

“Michel is organized, professional, communicative, and answered every question I had in detail. I’d recommend Michel and Guaranteed Rate Affinity to everyone!”

Michel changed my whole perspective on the mortgage lending industry! The first time I purchased a home (with a different loan officer), I had a poor experience that made me believe that applying for a loan is always super stressful. Michel changed that for me! SHE MAKES IT A BREEZE! She made the loan process simple, quick, and easy to understand! Michel is organized, professional, communicative, and answered every question I had in detail. I’d recommend Michel and Guaranteed Rate Affinity to everyone!

“Michel provided an incredible amount of help and assistance during my house purchasing process! She was always available to answer any and all of my questions.”

Michel provided an incredible amount of help and assistance during my house purchasing process! She was always available to answer any and all of my questions regarding the process, she'd explain the overwhelming and confusing details in a very digestible way, she was supportive and understanding when life got in a way and I had multiple emergencies happening during the closing process. I'll be recommending Michel to all my friends - she provided SO much help and support and eased the whole process to the maximum for me! I literally cannot say enough good things about Michel - I cannot imagine anyone being a better professional than her!

Response from Owner

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this amazing and sincere review! You were a true pleasure to work with and being able to share in the excitement and joy of your homebuying journey was an honor! I hope your home is a place you love for years to come! ❤️

“As a first time home owner, I felt like I felt welcome and encourage to ask all of the questions, and to me it meant universe to me.”

If there is anything that would describe my experience working with Michel and her team, it would be feeling of being cozy and comfortable. Just like one would feel when they are relaxed and enjoy sipping nice warm chocolate next to a fireplace because that's how smooth and easy my process of mortgage application and approval has been. This is all due to Michel's and her team hard work behind the scenes! As a first time home owner, I felt like I felt welcome and encourage to ask all of the questions, and to me it meant universe to me. I highly recommend Michel and her team!

“she was able to explain everything to us in a way that was extremely easy to understand. She also broke down different options for us”

We are first-time home buyers and we had a wonderful experience working with Michel. Mortgages and home buying in general are very complex -- she was able to explain everything to us in a way that was extremely easy to understand. She also broke down different options for us to illustrate how our decisions (type of loan, size of down payment, etc) would impact us in the long run, so we could make strategic decisions that align with our financial priorities. Michel was also incredibly responsive -- she responds to emails and phone calls very quickly, so we always felt supported by her. Our incredible, Type-A real estate agent even shared how impressed she was with the speed and quality of Michel's responses. If/when we refinance, we'll definitely go back to her.
