Sam and his team are professionals through and through, the home buying experience seems daunting and often impossible for first time buyers like myself and my partner. Sam’s team walked us through every step of the way and were so proactive with getting things done and submitted it felt like the process was over just as fast as it started! I cannot be happier with the whole experience and now we are in our first home after thinking it wouldn’t happen for years! If you are looking at getting into a home please reach out to Sam and his team, it couldn’t be easier!

This is the 2nd time we used Guaranteed Rate. This time it was to refi our home. From start to finish, Rate's professionalism, attention to detail, and follow through, kept us in the loop and abreast of the process, never leaving us out. Sam Warda answered my calls, concerns and any questions. When I had questions that required additional input, Sam was quick to get the answers, even at his busiest times. He stayed with us right through to funding and even followed up on the delay from the Title Company. All of Rates associates were quick to respond and to get things done. Any real-estate transactions we may have in the future, will be through Rate and Sam Warda. We will HIGHLY recommend Rate and Sam, to all our family, friends ,and associates, who may be looking for a mortgage company.

Sam is an absolute wealth of knowledge who takes time to consider all options and one who goes the extra mile to do what is right for his clients and not just do whatever he can to profit off someone.

Sam Warda truly made our first experience with a ELOC. He made the process smooth and easy, ensured he got back with us on the process. All questions were asked quickly and easily. He wanted to make sure we understood the whole process, make us feel comfortable. Always available. Truly great experience, recommend forward. Thanks Sam Eric and Mitzila D.

Sam was very helpful in our first time purchasing a home. I highly recommend working with Sam as he’s very knowledgeable and helpful and will be there with you every step of the way!

You know when you can just tell that someone is in the right field? This is absolutely the case for Sam! Home buying is already a stressful process but Sam did an amazing job answering our questions thoroughly. He really took the time to make sure we understood what was going on and how to work our financial situation. He was very diligent with all the paperwork on his end and had a great response time, which was critical at certain parts to make sure we closed quickly. I really appreciate that he wasn’t pushy at all and went the extra mile to make us feel like we had full and honest transparency through the whole process. We were also able to get a pretty competitive rate as well. Overall Sam is amazing at his job and a pleasure to work with. He is absolutely the person I recommend to others now!

Z, thank you so much for the incredibly kind words—I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure working with you, and I’m really glad I could help make the process clear and smooth. Congratulations again on your new home, and thank you for the recommendation! :)

I cannot say enough good things about Sam. I was actually looking at another company when he reached out, and I am so glad he did. From the very beginning, he made the entire loan process smooth, simple, and honestly enjoyable. What truly set him apart was how involved he stayed. Most lenders pass you off to underwriting and disappear. Sam did the exact opposite. He guided me through every step, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt confident the entire time. He answered my calls at 7 AM and even as late as 8 PM. I genuinely do not know how he manages it, but that level of accessibility and dedication says everything about how much he cares about his clients. If you are looking for a fast refinance, competitive rates, and someone willing to do whatever it takes to earn and keep your business, I could not recommend Sam more. He is the best!

Response from Owner

Justin, thank you so much for the kind words! I’m really glad we connected and that I could make the process smooth and stress-free for you.

He truly paved the path to success for us and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. Sam took the time to explain everything in detail, answered all of our questions and there were a lot and made sure we fully understood each step before moving forward. His knowledge and communication gave us total confidence in our decisions. Because of his guidance and dedication, we’re already moving forward to purchasing our next home and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for a mortgage lender who genuinely cares and delivers results, Sam is the guy. Highly recommend!
