“I would highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for one of the best in the business - a pleasant, reliable, responsive, and trustworthy lender!”

As a Real Estate professional, working with Monica was an absolute joy from start to finish! Her communication was exceptional and kept everyone informed throughout the entire transaction, answered questions quickly, and made the lending process feel seamless for my buyers' and myself. She was knowledgeable, professional, and always one step ahead, which helped ensure we closed on time without any surprises. My clients felt well taken care of every step of the way, and as the buyers agent, I truly appreciated her teamwork and dedication. She's a true ROCKSTAR!! I look forward to working together again on future transactions and would highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for one of the best in the business - a pleasant, reliable, responsive, and trustworthy lender! I would give 50 stars if I could!!

“I truly appreciate their professionalism, prompt work (we got to close a week earlier than anticipated), communication, and friendliness.”

Words cannot express my gratitude to Monica, Katie, Violete, and Julie for helping us close on our condo. I truly appreciate their professionalism, prompt work (we got to close a week earlier than anticipated), communication, and friendliness. I am over the moon in my new place and cannot express my gratitude enough.

“Monica was very professional and patient assisting with my first mortgage on my own. … I appreciate her kindness, explanation of the process and honesty.”

Monica was very professional and patient assisting with my first mortgage on my own. I had lost my husband a few months earlier and it was difficult for me starting over on my own. I appreciate her kindness, explanation of the process and honesty. I would definitely choose to work with her again. Thank you Monica.

Kim, it was truly a privilege walking alongside you through this major step. I know how much strength it took to navigate your first home loan independently, and I deeply appreciate your trust in me. Helping you secure a fresh start and achieve your goals means the world. Please reach out anytime you need anything at all as you settle into your new chapter.

“Especially Monica Richmond, she was very dedicated, easy to contact, and was on top of everything. I needed things explained to me multiple times and she happily did so.”

There was an avoidable complication that caused a time crunch, but it was from both my side and their side. I would still recommend Guaranteed Rate Affinity because of the dedication and extremely hard working staff. They worked very hard to fix issues that came up and still was able to give me exactly/very close to what I was asking for. Especially Monica Richmond, she was very dedicated, easy to contact, and was on top of everything. I needed things explained to me multiple times and she happily did so. She made sure I fully understood everything and I really appreciate that. She and the team that helped with my loan were very communicative.

“Monica was on top of everything every step of the way. I would have been lost without her!”

This was such an easy process. Monica was on top of everything every step of the way. I've never bought a house on my own and had no clue what I was doing. She kept me on my toes and explained every part of the process. I would have been lost without her!

“With only a short amount of time to close she ensured us that she was going to get us there and that we were in good hands. She was right.”

Not that she was able to get us close to our current 2.25 interest rate but Monica heard through a mutual friend that I We were getting taken to the cleaners by another lender and not being treated respectfully. With only a short amount of time to close she ensured us that she was going to get us there and that we were in good hands. She was right.
