Rick is fabulous to work with. We thought it was going to be a no brainer to move forward with our current bank as the lender, but Rick was so much better to work with (in addition to competitive interest rates). He responds quickly, answered all our questions and met our closing date with ease! I highly recommend and would absolutely work with Rick again.

Rick Bennett, with Rate, has great communication and really cares about their clients. When the insurance agent dropped the ball two days before closing, Rick and his team went above and beyond to help my client find new insurance and still close on time! They also offer concierge service to help clients transfer utilities into their name.

Thank you, Jeff! It is always a pleasure working with your clients.

As a first-time homebuyer, I can honestly say Rick and his team were one of the best things that happened to my wife and me during this process. Buying your first home can be stressful and confusing, but Rick made everything feel much easier. He was always available to answer our questions, explain things clearly, and guide us through every step. We always felt like we were in good hands and never felt like just another client. My wife and I are very grateful for all the help and support throughout the entire process. I would 100% recommend Rick and his team to anyone buying a home, especially first-time homebuyers. Thank you for helping us make our first home a reality!

Sharon R.

Taking out a home loan can be very stressful and scary, especially for someone like me who is extremely conservative with money. Rick went above and beyond with communication and explained things to me when i had questions. He even reached out to the title company when i had questions on their line items. We came to Rick not knowing what our options were when buying a new home. He presented us with several possibilities and helped us choose what made us most comfortable. Thanks to Rick, one of the biggest home-buying stressors has been alleviated, and we can now focus on making our new house a truly beautiful new home.

Jill C.

Rick Bennett was awesome in getting my loan approved. His communications were timely and appropriate. I would recommend Rick to anyone seeking financial help.

Alicia L.

As first time homebuyers and new to the Tampa market we were lucky to connect with Rick through our Relator. Rick was able to walk our family through the entire buying process along with showing "buying power" options with just market rates or ARM's and or buy downs. All the buzzwords we heard through the years about home buying but explained to us in simple math and simple terms. Rick forecasts the entire buying cost process so you're always in the know on how to reconcile your budget and at the end of day the projected costs were spot on. Highly recommend Rick if its your 10th purchase or first purchase as he does a great job of explaining the process simply so you can get on to thinking about painting and home improvement projects. Thank you Rick
