Marc took care of my client amazingly! I’m a Real Estate Agent that referred a client that is technology challenged he handled her with kindness patients and compassion. He knows everyone understands the computer systems differently . He was patient. He showed her how it worried and explained all the details to get her the loan she needed and wanted. I always recommend Marc often And without hesitation.

Marc Datnow and his team were a pleasure to work with on my first home purchase. Marc is knowledgeable, personable, and was always available to take calls to answer the many questions I had about the process. If you’re a new homeowner and/or a Veteran wanting to use your VA home loan, I strongly recommend you give Marc and his team a call.

Marc is such a great person to work with for your loans. He will look out for his clients and do all he can for them. He helped me with my VA loan for my home and made the whole process as nice and as easy as possible. It was a great pleasure and will definitely continue to work with him in the future.

Marc D. was an absolute pleasure to work with. He took the time to truly listen to my situation, explained all of my loan options clearly and was able to explain it to me as if I did not know anything about loan. Marc was transparent every step of the way but what impressed me most about Marc was how available he was, I know could always count on him to answer my calls and questions, which is something I haven’t experienced with other loan officers. He helped get me out of a really difficult situation, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything he did. As a thoughtful surprise, he even sent a box of delicious cookies after closing. It was such a kind gesture and speaks to the type of person he is, feels like he values the customer relationship more than your business which I really appreciate. I highly recommend Marc to anyone looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and caring loan officer.

Marc Datnow was an absolutely amazing person to work with. He answered all my questions and calls and helped me navigate this difficult process. He single handedly is the reason why I would recommend Rate.com

Marc Datnow is great.

Paula C.

I would not only recommend Guaranteed Rate, but Marc Datnow specifically. I would do so for a few reasons, first being the fact that I opted to do my refinance through Marc because he is the one person who's gone above and beyond to stay in touch and me appraised exactly what was going on in the market and making sure I was ready when the time was right. Second, I have to say, I think this is the fast refi process I have ever experienced.

Misty D.
