“I was prepared for a stressful ordeal, but Mike made the entire process incredibly smooth. He was transparent about every step, proactive, and always available.”

I cannot recommend Mike Sanchez at Rate (NMLS #860048) enough! As a homebuyer, I was prepared for a stressful ordeal, but Mike made the entire process incredibly smooth. He was transparent about every step, proactive with communication, and always available to answer my (many) questions. If you want a lender who is professional, efficient, and genuinely cares about getting you into your home, look no further. Highly recommend!!

“They literally was the dream team. Mike and his team worked so professionally and so intentionally... I started the process and closed in 13 DAYSSSS.”

Woww ! I came to Mike and his crew with a denial. Feelings of hopelessness and fear of having to rent a home instead of buy. This process for me has been such a blessing but also overwhelming, exhausting and all the things. BUT MY OH MY…. When my file hit the office of Mike and his crew ❤️❤️ THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO HELP ME and guess what…. I just closed on my new built home. Mike and his team worked so professionally and so intentionally to the point they were getting up at 4 am to work on my file. The reason I know they were up at that time was because I would send them emails all types of night 😂 and they would be right there responding back. I was so confident with him and his team. CUSTOMER SERVICE 20/20. I don’t care how many question I had, they delivered my answers fasttttt. I started the process and closed in 13 DAYSSSS. Mike and the crew is so amazinggg they even gave me credits to help me out with this process. They didn’t even know me and they helped me like life depended on it. I will miss our conversations between his team and Mike, and fun moments but yall definitely won’t be disappointed in this team right here if you chose them ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Kate and Amy became one of my girls😂. Kate and Amy did the thing right along with Mike. THIS TEAM HAD NO I IN IT 😂😂😂😂 They literally was the dream team. Thank you all again, God bless you for all you do. Arlisa

“Their efficiency, responsiveness, and professionalism made what can be a complex lending process feel seamless and stress-free. ... We closed in less than 3 weeks on New Year’s Eve!”

Mike Sanchez and his team were exceptional from start to finish. Their efficiency, responsiveness, and professionalism made what can be a complex lending process feel seamless and stress-free. As a first-time investor, Mike’s knowledge of the market and lending options gave me confidence at every step, and his team operated like a well-oiled machine, even during the busy holiday season! They moved with impressive speed and precision, kept communication clear and ensured nothing fell through the cracks. Thanks to Mike’s leadership and his team’s coordination, the entire process stayed on track and exceeded my expectations — we closed in less than 3 weeks on New Year’s Eve! I couldn’t have asked for a better lending experience and highly recommend Mike Sanchez and his team to anyone looking for a top-tier lender who delivers stress-free results.

Response from Owner

“The process was incredibly fast, smooth, and we closed right on time without any issues. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lender who is professional and responsive.”

I had an outstanding experience working with Mike Sanchez, Kate Estep, and the entire team. The process was incredibly fast, smooth, and we closed right on time without any issues. Mike’s crew was amazing, and Kate Estep especially went above and beyond for us. Her customer service was top-notch — she kept me updated the whole way, answered every question, and helped me choose the best loan for my situation. I highly recommend Mike Sanchez, Kate Estep, and their team to anyone looking for a lender who is professional, responsive, and truly cares about their clients. Absolutely a 5-star experience.

Response from Owner

Thanks Frank!! You are correct. Kate is a huge part of this Teams success and we are lucky to have her. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions that you may have. My Team and i look forward to working with you again in the future. #relationalnottransactional

“We had 14 days to close when our original lender dropped us [...]. Through Mike and his team we were able to get funded and close on our first home in 11 days.”

It is rare when a person or service completely exceeds your expectations but that’s exactly what Mike at guaranteed rate did for our family. We had 14 days to close when our original lender dropped us after explaining that they won’t be funding VA home loans through the furlough. Through Mike and his team of professionals we were able to get funded and close on our first home in 11 days. There was never a time when there wasn’t constant communication via email, text, or phone call. Their portal is intuitive and convenient to use. We will always use them for any future funding needs.

“Mike and his team saved me .625% on the interest rate and $2,000 in processing fees. ... If you're a Veteran looking for a VA loan, you can't go wrong with Mike, Amy & the team!”

My wife and I recently purchased a new home and couldn't be more ecstatic about our experience with Mike Sanchez and his team from Rate. Originally, we at the mercy of the builder's preferred lender, I mentioned I wasn't happy with their interest rate (VA loan) I was given Mike's info. I called him and knew right away I was in good hands. Mike and his team saved me .625% on the interest rate and $2,000 in processing fees. When I asked about the processing fees he told me we don't charge you that, you're a Veteran. If you're a Veteran looking for a VA loan, you can't go wrong with Mike, Amy & the rest of the team from Rate!

Response from Owner

Joe, Thank you!! I'm glad that we were able to get you a much better deal than the builder's lender. It's always good to get a second opinion when you're purchasing a new construction. Sometimes , the numbers don't seem to be as good as they look. My team and I look forward to working with you again in the future! ##relationalnottransactional

“From start to finish it was an amazing experience. I thought it would be stressful but Mike and his team took care of everything!! [I] highly recommend Mike and his team!”

I had to edit this review bc I left out some huge points of interest. The reason why I went back to Mike and his team was Honesty and Integrity!! In my opinion, Mike will be open and honest about ALL products bad or good. He will also give you all the options and let you decide which one to go with. He won't lead you into a bad deal. Mike isn't one of the best in our area bc he tries to make alot of money off everyone he talks to. He develops relationships. He takes care of our Veterans!! From start to finish it was an amazing experience. I thought it would be stressful but Mike and his team took care of everything!! Very impressed with how everything went. Hi highly recommend Mike and his team for all your loan needs!!

“They were very informative about the process, responsive to all my questions and concerns, provided immediate follow up... and always supportive. Everyone is extremely polite.”

The team at Guarantee Rate Mortgage led by Mike Sanchez are great. They were very informative about the process, responsive to all my questions and concerns, provided immediate follow to text messages and phone calls and always supportive. I remember calling Kate one evening intending to leave a message because it was well past office hours, thinking she would follow up the next day. Not only did she answer the phone, she sent the information I was seeking and followed up the next day to ensure I understood. Amy Hardy, was always there to ensure I had all of my closing documents, understood the documents and answers all questions. Everyone is extremely polite and patient. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and very professional. I would highly recommend this company and especially this team.

“From start to finish, the loan process was remarkably smooth and efficient. His professionalism and dedication to his clients truly set him apart.”

We had the pleasure of working with Mike Sanchez for our mortgage on our new second home, and I cannot recommend him and his team highly enough! From start to finish, the loan process was remarkably smooth and efficient. We all know that process can be laborious. As a trusted local lender, Mike Sanchez and his team demonstrated not only their expertise but also a genuine commitment to helping us find the best loan options for our needs. He was incredibly responsive and took the time to explain every detail, making sure we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. Again, what impressed us the most was how quickly everything moved. Thanks to Mike Sanchez's diligent efforts and thorough understanding of the market, we experienced no delays at all. If you're looking for a reliable and knowledgeable mortgage lender, look no further! His professionalism and dedication to his all clients to include those in the military truly set him apart. We're so grateful for his assistance and couldn’t be happier with our experience!

“He was absolutely crucial in ensuring a smooth and efficient 21-day closing. From start to finish, his communication was top-notch. I will absolutely be referring future clients.”

As a buyer's agent, I cannot recommend Mike highly enough! He was absolutely crucial in ensuring a smooth and efficient 21-day closing for our clients. From start to finish, his communication was top-notch. He was always available to answer my questions, as well as our client's questions, making sure everyone felt informed and confident throughout the process. One of the things that truly set Mike apart was his proactive approach. He made a point to check in regularly and even reached out to the listing agent to reinforce our buyer's strong financing position, which strengthened our offer. Even during his bereavement leave, his incredible team stepped up seamlessly to keep everything on track without missing a beat. Working with Mike was an absolute pleasure, and I will absolutely be referring future clients to him. If you're looking for a lender who is knowledgeable, communicative, and dedicated to making the process as smooth as possible, look no further!

“It was truly a pleasure working with Mike to purchase our new home. The process was very smooth and our closing went off without a hitch. He truly goes above and beyond.”

It was truly a pleasure working with Mike to purchase our new home. He was honest and did everything in his power to ensure that we were informed and happy during or process. He or someone on his team was always available no matter the day or time to respond to our calls and inquiries. The process was very smooth and our closing went off without a hitch. Lastly, he is just a decent human being. During our process , our family was hit with tragedy more than once. Mike always reached out just to see how we were and offer his support. He even sent messages on holidays just to let us know he was thinking about us. We highly recommend working with Mike because he truly goes above and beyond for his clients.

“This is the 5th loan I've done through Mike and his team. Every time... he has gone above and beyond and ensuring that he is providing the best products and advice.”

This is the 5th loan I've done through Mike and his team. Every time I've used Mike as my lender he has gone above and beyond and ensuring that he is providing the best products and advice for my and my families situation. He has not only helped me in Virginia but also closed on my house is North Carolina this week . Mike has a customer for life for all my real estate needs. I highly recommend anyone who wants a no BS, easy to work with team, who will close on time, everytime to reach out to him.

“Mike and his team are the most efficient group in the business, without exaggeration. His intimate knowledge of the intricacies of his craft coupled with immaculate soft skills.”

Congratulations! If you are reading this you have found THE best lender available (especially for VA Loans). Buy a lotto ticket on the way home. Mike and his team are the most efficient group in the business, without exaggeration. His intimate knowledge of the intricacies of his craft coupled with immaculate soft skills set him orders of magnitudes above other lenders. He had to educate our Agent on creative HELOC strategies, as an example. This team is available at all hours and it was routine for Mike to answer calls while at his son's baseball games or on a drive to/from colleges. He even answers on the way out for vacation. But what about substance? Mike and his Rate team locked us in at a 5.25% rate when 6.5%+ was common place. The title company even made specific mention of our rate at closing saying its the best they had seen in weeks (including closing cost credits!). To summarize, I couldn't be happier with Mike and his team. I will never use another lender. I will never recommend another lender. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the best in the business so you can focus on other things.

Response from Owner

Ryan Thank you for this amazing review! I know the journey wasn't easy after making offers on multiple properties, but I was thankful to be along for the ride. My Team and I look forward to being your Lender for Life, and would welcome any and all referrals you send our way.

“I had such a wonderful experience with Mike and his team. He is professional, intelligent, wise, caring, honest, and has a very high business IQ and customer service component.”

I had such a wonderful experience with Mike and his team. From the first moment I spoke with him, he has been such a delight to interact with and do business with. He is professional, intelligent, wise, caring, honest, and has a very high business IQ and customer service component to his work. Although I never met Mike, I trusted him to help me and my family make the best decisions regarding finances and he did not let us down. I recommend Guaranteed Rate for anyone financing a home and more specifically i recommend Mike and his team b/c they were the dream team for us!

“Mike Sanchez & Team are extremely professional and super efficient. I was able to close in my house in 10 days because of their commitment. They definitely put clients first.”

“I would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a lender who genuinely goes above and beyond!”

I had the pleasure of working with Mike on a recent transaction, and I couldn’t have been more impressed.

I’m so thankful for the referral and the opportunity to work together. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a lender who genuinely goes above and beyond!

“Mike and his team provided outstanding customer service Cum the initial meet/greet phone call ask the way though final closing steps.”

Mike Sanchez leads the consummate team estate loan team. I met Mike last year at a Navy sponsored executive transition assistance program (E-TAP) class. At that time I had been thinking about buying a house upon my retirement but wasn’t sure where to go and goes to start the process. Mike and his team provided outstanding customer service Cum the initial meet/greet phone call ask the way though final closing steps. His team guided me through leveraging my VA loan for buying my house. Thank You Mike for all you do. Your team including Kate, Amy, Michele effectively and professionally handled all my loan processing details. He introduced me (at my request) to our realtor Carrie Hamilton Wei helped us fund the perfect house.

Response from Owner

Jeffrey, it was an honor helping you navigate the home-buying journey after meeting you at the E-TAP transition class. Guiding you through leveraging your well-deserved VA benefits was truly rewarding for our entire team. Thank you for your service and for trusting us to get you into the perfect home.

Mike and his team are absolutely exceptional! Not only are they by far the best rates in town, they go above and beyond to ensure their clients have the best experience possible. No matter the time, day or night, Mike and his team quickly answered all of my questions (running and rerunning numbers over and over again). The amount of patience Mike has had for me through a very taxing home buying process goes above the responsibility of a good lender, I will never truly be able to express all of my gratitude. Thank you, Mike!!!

Great service. Less than 30 day close with a VA loan and they worked quickly and diligently to lock me in at the lowest rate for the month. Great mentorship and advice throughout the entire process. This is my second time working with this team and overall great communication with easy checklists and steps to follow. Mike also called regularly to explain any changes to estimates and provided clear justifications through the entire transaction.

Mike Sanchez and his team are true professionals! I have all the trust, faith and confidence in the world in Mike when I hand my clients, friends, and family over to him for any of their Mortgage/Refinancing needs. Its refreshing to know that my client is not only most likely going to get the best rate, but that they are going to be educated on their options and they will know what to expect during the process. This seems like it should be a given, however, after spending many years in this business that is definitely not the case so I am sincerely thankful and appreciate the care that Mike and his team always give my people! 👊🏽

“Mike guided me through the process and it took just under 2 weeks for Mike and his team to get me from an apartment into my first home. I couldn’t be happier.”

I’m pretty new to the whole homebuying thing and I was pretty intimidated getting into this world. However when it came to getting a mortgage Mike guided me through the process and it took just under 2 weeks for Mike and his team to get me from an apartment into my first home. I’m not hugely familiar with real estate but that’s light years quicker than what I was expecting and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks Mike!

“The process with Mike and his team was far and away, better than any similar services I had tried to use in the past. Mike and his team made it so simple and transparent.”

I waited a bit to drop a review for Mike and his team because it wasn't until now that I finally made a payment on a loan I closed with him a few weeks back. The process with Mike and his team was far and away, better than any similar services I had tried to use in the past few months/years. Being a unique piece of property Mike didn't waste any time and got initial clearance from underwriting on the loan possibility at the very start and saw the loan sail through all the nessecary wickets in an unbelieveble timeline. Literally unbelieveable, as I am writing this now knowign that this is a real loan, mike and his team are the real deal. While I constantly waited for the other shoe to drop throughout the entire process it never happened because mike and his team made it so simple and transparent. Thank you Mike and those you surround yourself with, I don't make reviews or reccomendations often, but you get a full thanks and reccomendation from me. -Zed

“Mike Sanchez was straight forward with the rate and very knowledgeable about the process.”

Phenomenal job from start to finsh. Mike Sanchez was straight forward with the rate and very knowledgeable about the process. Kate Estep,Amy Hardy, and Shelley Washington were amazing in their response time, instructions, and always got things corrected when asked in a timely matter. I highly recommend Guaranteed Rate.

“Mike and his team are the very best in the industry and make this process simplified, fun and easy! They give you peace of mind and save you time. I endorse them wholeheartedly.”

Mike and his team are the very best in the industry and make this process simplified, fun and easy! The process for applying for a mortgage does require documentation, patience and some hand holding and this team is very customer centric, helping you every step of the journey. They give you peace of mind that you're doing the right thing, coach you when you need advice and save you time, which is so important in our busy lives. I have used Mike in other transactions and wouldn't hesitate to endorse him wholeheartedly. Thank You All!

Mike was fantastic from the start! Very smooth process and Mike was there every step of the way! Knows how to treat Vets! Recommended to two other Vetrans and I don’t do that lightly . He beat every rate from other lenders and best of all did not BS me. Which in my book is the most inportant aspect of anyone! If I have to move again, Mike will be my first call!

“Mike was an amazing resource for my wife and I, both Active Duty, to secure a VA loan with the lowest interest rate out. [H]is team were very professional and accommodating.”

Mike was an amazing resource for my wife and I, both Active Duty, to secure a VA loan with the lowest interest rate out. We met Mike during our Transition Assistance Program (TAP) in the National Capital Region. Mike helped educate us on the process for VA loan process during the program and shortly after we were in contract for buying a home! We just closed yesterday and cannot be more excited to land the home of our dreams with an excellent rate, especially in a competitive market. Mike and his team were very professional and accommodating, making the process easy. Definitely use them!

“With only 72 hours to go before my mortgage contingency expired, Mike and his team got me approved. He is straight, won’t make empty promises, and acts with professionalism.”

Mike and his team saved me after I fell prey to a “smooth talker” from another bank who couldn’t give what he promised. With only 72 hours to go before my mortgage contingency expired, I called Mike and is team got me approved and through underwriting before the deadline. Mike is straight, won’t make empty or false promises and his team has shepherded me through two closings with professionalism and kindness.

“Mike was awesome to work with. As a 21-year-old first-time home buyer, I had so many questions, but he supported me all the way and we closed in less than 30 days!”

Mike was so awesome to work with, I’m 21 and a first time home buyer so I obviously had so many questions through the process, but he supported me all the way through we closed in less then 30 days because he and his team truly stayed on top of everything and had great communication a true pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend using him and his team; as I will again in the future! Thank you so much! One of the few genuine and honest people in today’s world, I’m so grateful!
