“[H]e was so patient and thorough (and funny!) answering our many questions... and his team got our loan approved and finalized incredibly quickly - we were just so happy”

Mark and his team were fantastic at helping my wife and I through the process of buying our first home. He was so patient and thorough (and funny!) answering our many questions about the process. He had excellent communication with my partner and I and our realtor throughout the entire process and was easy to reach whenever we had questions. Lastly, Mark and his team got our loan approved and finalized incredibly quickly - we were just so happy with the process and would absolutely recommend him to anyone in our area looking to buy a house.

“Mark and his team not only took amazing care of us but would answer the phone everytime we called... Mark is the gold standard and you won’t find anyone as genuine and patient.”

I have never felt so comfortable going through the process of buying a home before. In the past trying to buy initially or refinance always put me in a spot where I felt like the I was doing it by myself and had to research everything so I didn’t get taken advantage of. Mark and his team not only took amazing care of us but would answer the phone everytime we called even if it felt like a stupid question. It was my wife’s first time buying a home and they all went out of there way to make sure she felt comfortable and understood the process. We truely feel like we found a friend through this entire process and I could recommend someone more. Mark is the gold standard and you won’t find anyone as genuine and patient as him. Five stars are not enough! Thank you Mark for all your help!

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with our lender for our recent home purchase.”

We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with our lender for our recent home purchase. From start to finish, the communication was top-notch. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to answer our endless questions and calm any concerns we had along the way. What truly blew us away was their availability—even while on vacation, they stayed in touch to ensure everything went smoothly. If you want a lender who is deeply dedicated, highly communicative, and genuinely cares about their clients.

“Mark was fantastic in helping us secure a home loan for our new home purchase. From the first day we met on the phone, until our loan funded, Mark made sure that any and all of our questions were answered immediately”

Mark was fantastic in helping us secure a home loan for our new home purchase. From the first day we met on the phone, until our loan funded, Mark made sure that any and all of our questions were answered immediately, ensured that our loan was taken care of, and navigated the challenges of the underwriting process with us! He also recommended locking our loan early and ended up helping us extend that lock to save us money and keep our interest rate as low as possible. Mark became a friend and ally through the complicated escrow process and we felt confident that with him in our corner everything would work out and it did. We highly recommend Mark Johnson and Guaranteed Rate to help with anyone’s loan needs. We will definitely use Mark’s excellent services for our future real estate loan needs whether it is a new loan or a refinance. Thank you, Mark, it was truly a pleasure working with you.

“Mark was excellent to work with. He always made us feel at ease... consistently communicative, informative and upbeat. We were very happy with both Mark and the experience.”

Mark was excellent to work with during the loan process. He always made us feel at ease, as it’s been 28 years since we last bought a home and a lot has changed since then. He was consistently communicative and informative and upbeat. The Rate website was also easy to navigate and determine where we were at in the process. Overall, we were very happy with both Mark and the experience at Rate. Thank you!

“My lending agent Ben was so professional, friendly, helpful and understanding, it made the whole process a breeze.”

My lending agent Ben was so professional, friendly, helpful and understanding, it made the whole process a breeze. I felt like he sincerely had my best interest at heart, as if he were a friend working on my file. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had, sometimes at surpising hours. I've never had such personalized service from a lending agent. I am very confident that I got the best rate possible and that's a good feeling.
