“The whole GRA team answered endless questions, guided without nagging, and were available even when they should have had their time away from the office to relax.”
As a first-time homebuyer, it's easy to be overwhelmed by the entire process, especially when buying in Florida. Luckily our real estate agent, Heidi Adams, connected us to Mark Zhimer and his team at Guaranteed Rate Affinity. Mark, Kara Greer, and Vincent Nastasi walked us through every step of the entire procedure, from a (thankfully) unsuccessful first home inquiry to our much more satisfactory and successful second target, which we are now the proud owners of! The whole GRA team answered endless questions, guided without nagging, and were available even when they should have had their time away from the office to relax. If you are looking for professionals who can answer your questions in a way that you as a novice can understand, reach out to Mark and his crew - you'll get the guidance and advice you need!

Mark was such a big help when my husband and I were purchasing our new home. He answered all of our questions and gave us in depth explanations about the lending process. Any barriers we ran into, he was there problem solving to get through them. By closing day, my husband and I were prepared and better equipped with what to expect for the home owning experience. We recommend him 100%.
