Response from Owner
Steve, it was a genuine pleasure partnering with you on your home loan. I know how much work goes into navigating the paperwork, and I'm glad we could make the process smooth for you from start to finish. If you ever need anything down the road as you settle into your property, my door is always open.
Clear Communication from the whole team, made the process completely smooth

Working with Charles Olguin was the best decision we made during our home purchase. Incredibly responsive and made a stressful process actually enjoyable. 10/10—will use again and recommend to everyone I know.

Charles Olguin and his team at rate were great to work with! From the start of the pre approval process up until closing, communication and guidance was spot on. I highly recommend them for all of your real estate needs.

Rate gets things done!

With the very personalized and step-by-step guidance of Charles Olguin, I secured a HELOC loan. He was tremendously patient with me as I asked an inordinate number of questions and did so at all hours of his working day. Voluntarily, Charles kept me abreast of each action he was taking and of those that were my responsibility. The process was amazingly easy to follow as I navigated through the paperwork required by the company RATE. They, too, were patient, supportive, and thorough in helping me reach my intended goal. Truly, it was painless and I am, beyond any doubts, exceedingly happy that I made the decision to follow their lead.

GREAT! MAGNIFICENT! RESPECTFUL! Everything went smoothly! Thank you so much for your help!

Charles is the GOAT. Very nice man and he is always available for his clients.

Excellent service! Charles is an amazing professional who cares about his clients! I would recommend him 100%

This is the second time I have worked with Charles and his team. I bought my house with him (my first house) about a year and a half ago, and then I have recently refinanced with him as well. The rates and fees have always worked out to what we had discussed in our informal conversations, and his team was easily contacted for any questions I had during the process. This team is the best for getting what you need during a very difficult process - buying a house, refinancing - it's a load of paperwork, but they make it easy. I feel that I can trust him also - if I wasn't going to be saving money by refinancing I know that he would have told me that it wasn't the best time to do it. I wish I could give him 10 stars!
trusting agent's honesty and words in deliver his commitment

Charles and his team are friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable about the home finance market
It was very convenient to do things remotely. The web interface is easy to use. Agents were responsive over phone, email, and text. However, some people may prefer (and need) face-to-face meetings.
The team went above and beyond, and made things spectacularly easy!
