“I believe that she cares and puts your interests and [benefits] as equal if not higher than hers or her company's. I absolutely recommend her to be your mortgage advisor.”

When you call bankers and brokers for quotes regarding mortgage and rates, most of the times you have this feeling that they are only focused on their own benefits. You feel their advice is disingenuous and they may not be honest. This is absolutely not true about Melissa. I believe that she cares and puts your interests and befits as equal if not higher than hers or her company's. I absolutely recommend her to be your mortgage advisor.

“I didn’t believe I was going to be able to buy a home, but she made it possible for me. From start to finish, she took care of everything and made the process so easy and stress-free.”

Melissa is absolutely amazing! I didn’t believe I was going to be able to buy a home, but she made it possible for me. From start to finish, she took care of everything and made the process so easy and stress-free. She was always there to answer my questions and to encourage me when I had doubts. I could tell she truly cared about me and wanted the best outcome. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, I’m now a homeowner. I’m beyond grateful for Melissa and all that she did for me.

“Melissa was a knowledgeable, professional, and extremely helpful broker. We put them through their paces with a quick closing while out of state but they pulled through!”

Melissa was a knowledgeable, professional, and extremely helpful broker. I was referred to her by a family member and could not have been more thrilled with her and her team’s work. We put them through their paces with a quick closing while out of state but they pulled through! We heartily recommend Melissa and Guaranteed Rate.

“Melissa exuded professionalism and was extremely personable, which made the lending and closing process less stressful. ... Any worries I had were quelled after a quick call.”

We worked with Melissa to purchase our new house in the Western Burbs this past month, and we could NOT have asked for anyone better to go alongside us on this wild journey. I connected with her via our realtor back in August, and right away Melissa exuded professionalism and was extremely personable, which are two things that made the lending and closing process less stressful than I had previously expected it to be. Many questions were asked on my end that were answered swiftly and in a detailed manner by Melissa. Any worries I had were quelled after a quick call with her. From putting in an offer to closing, I felt as though we were in great hands, and closing was a fairly smooth process. I recommend working with Melissa — in fact, you'd be remiss to NOT work with her. Thank you so, so much, Melissa!!!

“Melissa is flat out the best lender that I have ever worked with. I've purchased 5 houses in my life, and this purchase was 100% the easiest and I owe it all to Melissa.”

Melissa is flat out the best lender that I have ever worked with. I've purchased 5 houses in my life, and this purchase was 100% the easiest and I owe it all to Melissa. She and her team are absolutely incredible and I would recommend her to anyone (and have!).

“She was very attentive and gave thorough responses. She is very professional and detail oriented. She was like an angel during this stressful home buying process.”

I’m so happy that I was referred to Melissa by my realtor. She was very attentive and gave thorough responses to my questions. She is very professional and detail oriented. After bidding on 5 homes, my 6th offer on a home was approved and it was mostly due to the fact that Melissa was listed as my mortgage lender and she has a great reputation. She was like an angel during this stressful home buying process and definitely put my mind at ease. I’m very thankful for her and highly recommend her.

“You would’ve never known we were 900 miles apart. The process was very smooth, from start to finish. Communication from Melissa and her team was great. She is a true professional.”

Melissa and I worked together A LONG TIME AGO! in banking. The bank was bought and everyone went their separate ways. On occasion we would get together, a bunch of former employees. I had moved to Texas, from Illinois and was back in Illinois for a weekend. By chance, the former employees were gathering again. Melissa was there and I asked if she could finance me in Texas when I purchased. You would’ve never known we were 900 miles apart. The process was very smooth, from start to finish. Communication from Melissa and her team was great. Melissa kept in touch with me during the process to ensure I was comfortable with each step. It was great to work with Melissa. She is a true professional.
