“Luis made the entire mortgage process feel much more manageable. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and genuinely invested”
I want to take a moment to recognize and highly recommend Luis Sanchez-Santana from Rate Mortgage for the exceptional service he provided throughout my home-buying process.
Purchasing a home can be an overwhelming and stressful experience, especially when there are so many moving parts and deadlines involved. From the very beginning, Luis made the entire mortgage process feel much more manageable. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly.
What stood out to me most was how accessible Luis was throughout the entire process. Whenever he needed important information or documentation from me, he would reach out directly and make sure I understood exactly what was needed. At the same time, whenever I had questions or concerns, he was always available to help. I never felt like I was left wondering what was happening or where things stood. His communication and willingness to explain things made a huge difference.
Luis also went above and beyond when it came to getting us to the closing table. He understood how important it was for my family to get into our new home and, more importantly, to get my children registered for school before the summer ended. He worked hard to help speed up the process and kept things moving so that we could close sooner than originally expected. That extra effort meant a lot to me and my family.
I truly felt that Luis treated my home purchase as more than just another transaction. He took the time to understand my situation, stayed on top of the process, communicated consistently, and worked to find solutions whenever something needed attention. His dedication and personal involvement gave me a great deal of confidence throughout the entire experience.
I have purchased a home before, and I can honestly say that having someone like Luis in your corner makes a significant difference. His professionalism, communication, knowledge, responsiveness, and willingness to go the extra mile are exactly what you want from someone handling such an important part of the home-buying process.
I would absolutely recommend Luis Sanchez-Santana to anyone looking to purchase a home or navigate the mortgage process. If you want someone who will answer your questions, keep you informed, advocate for you, and genuinely care about getting you to the finish line, Luis is that person.
Thank you, Luis, for everything you did to help make this home purchase possible for me and my family. Your hard work and dedication did not go unnoticed, and I truly appreciate everything you did for us.

“Luis is fiercely intelligent, patient, competent, and kind. He went above and beyond to make this process as effortless as it can be. You are in great hands.”
I have had the opportunity to work with Luis in a number of ways over the years. His work ethic is exceptional. Luis is fiercely intelligent, patient, competent, and kind. He will take the best care of you. I both purchased as well as refinanced my house with Luis’ guidance. Ladies and gentleman, I won’t mince words, I can be a real pain in the back-side as a client. My work can distract me easily from even the highest priority items on my personal “To-Do” list; like refinancing my house with a ticking clock. This process is incredibly streamlined, Luis and his team have excellent online tools available to their customers for reviewing and signing documents from the convenience of your cell phone, tablet, or computer. It really can’t get any easier to close on a home or refinance… unless you’re someone like me. Luis patiently kept me on task. He answered my questions promptly. He went above and beyond to make this process as effortless as it can be. I had a month to close with the rate we locked in for me, and Luis and his team would have probably been able to get it done within 2-3 weeks if I had stayed on top of it. Things got very busy for me with work and travel, and Luis still made it work and helped me close with the rate I needed. Look, I’ve known Luis for about 10 years. We served in the same unit together. He could have told me to get it together and pull my head out of my…you get the picture. He didn’t. The guy is a consummate professional who holds himself to the highest standards, while at the same time remaining sensitive and adaptable to his clients circumstances. He makes things happen for people. He works with you. You are in great hands.

Upon meeting Rosa, she remained dedicated, diligent, and proactive in preparing and completing all necessary paperwork to secure loan approval.

This is my second time working with Luis. I first worked with him to refinance my house. He was great to work with. Always on point, always responded quickly, very truthful, and no nonsense. Because of the great experience, I reached out again to purchase a new home. He did not disappoint. I made a few offers on other houses and he got all the docs I needed when I needed them. When my offer was accepted, he got everything I needed and advised me when it was a good time to lock. It was a pleasure working with him both times. I will be calling him again when it's time to refinance.

Luis went above and beyond to explain every step of the mortgage process to us as new home buyers. He was incredibly diligent in his work and most importantly he over-communicated. Every email, text and phone call was answered immediately and my husband and I felt extremely comfortable reaching out to Luis for any question and clarification in the contracts. We're so thankful to have met him and now absolutely consider him a strong referral to anyone who's looking to buy a home. Thank you Luis for being so passionate and knowledgeable about what you do!

“Throughout the loan process [Luis] answered all of my questions, was very professional, always responded quickly... and ultimately we closed in about 30 days!”
We had a great experience working with Luis to refinance our home a few years ago, so when we found ourselves recently looking to buy a new house we didn't hesitate to contact him. Throughout the loan process he answered all of my questions, was very professional, always responded quickly, and helped us navigate the interest rate trends as best as he could. Luis helped us overcome some obstacles along the way as well and ultimately we closed in about 30 days! We're now repeat customers at this point and will surely be reaching out again in the future. I highly recommend giving him a call if you're looking for a mortgage, thanks again!

Andrea thank you for sharing your experience. Happy we were able to assist with the new purchase.
“My husband and I just purchased our second home and working with Luis was amazing. He guided us every step of the way, kept things simple but thorough, and we closed in record time!”
Anyone who’s purchased a home before knows how cumbersome, confusing and scary the process of getting a mortgage is. Well, not with Luis! My husband and I just purchased our second home and working with Luis was amazing. He guided us every step of the way, kept things simple but thorough, was honest, always accessible, responsive, and we closed in record time! (From offer acceptance to closing in 30 days!)
I highly recommend Luis and would work with him again without a shadow of a doubt!

“This was my first time buying a home and I had a ton of questions. Luis and Rosa were truly amazing. Not only did they take great care answering ALL of my questions—they also demonstrated high levels of empathy.”
I just recently purchased a new home in May 2023. This was my first time buying a home and I had a ton of questions. Luis and Rosa were truly amazing. Not only did they take great care answering ALL of my questions—they also demonstrated high levels of empathy.
Buying a home during a time when rates were increasing was very stressful! Luis was fantastic! He helped me find the lowest rates and carefully explained my options in great detail.
Rosa helped to expedite things when we needed to move fast and even the team of underwriters were prompt, professional, and eager to answer questions.
This team works days, nights and weekends to meet your needs. I normally do not write reviews but felt compelled to do so for Guaranteed Rate based on the top-notch service and care they provided.
Response from Owner
! Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are here for you prior, during and after so if you ever need anything please reach out. Thank you for your trust in us.
“I never felt pressured to make a choice, and Luis made sure my wife and I knew exactly how much money we would need to spend on our home. Luis was aware of our budget...”
I had some bad feelings about the industry after dealing with car lenders. Luis Sanchez and his group @guaranteedRate represented a new start. I never felt pressured to make a choice, and Luis made sure my wife and I knew exactly how much money we would need to spend on our home. Luis was aware of our budget and we closed on that sum. Shout-out to Rosa Torres-Milciukas, Luis’ team, for helping me put my paper work together. Luis I can't thank you enough; we'll discuss further when we refinance.
Response from Owner

“Luis and his team were of absolute value throughout the entire home buying process. ... From pre-approval to closing in less than a month, this was the right team for the job.”
Luis and his team were of absolute value throughout the entire home buying process. From the first time I spoke to Luis about my wants, he was ready to steer me in the right direction. The team of professionals Luis works with only made the process that much easier and clear to understand. There was never a phone call unanswered or an email without a reply. I will recommend this team to anyone needing the services they offer. Luis's knowledge in the real state arena is seen by the quality of his work and the precision of how he handles things. From pre-approval to closing in less than a month, this was the right team for the job.

“Luis was instrumental in helping us navigate the VA mortgage refinance... [H]e was patient, professional, and always eager to answer my questions. We couldn't be happier!”
Luis was instrumental in helping us navigate the VA mortgage refinance process, and he persevered through countless obstacles that came up along the way. We had a unique situation refinancing a house that was being renovated and getting the final appraisal approved was the biggest obstacle. Despite all the setbacks on my end, Luis was patient, professional, and always eager to answer my questions (of which I had many). With his guidance, we crossed the finish line at closing and couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Luis to anyone looking to purchase or refinance a home, and I've already started referring him. Thanks again!
