Peter and team soo wonderful execellet

Peter and his team provided top notch service. They made me feel like one of their own family members. I never purchased a home before and Peter and his team made it very easy to do so. I highly recommend Peter Traum at Rate!!

I had the pleasure of working with Peter a second time and the process was smoother than the first time!! He always walks you through everything so that there aren’t any unexpected events to delay your closing. I recommend him to first time buyers, second home buyers or retirement home buyers. You won’t regret it and you’ll definitely tell friends and family how easy the process is!!!!

Peter helped me through all steps of the home buying process and explained everything very well!

I had a great experience working with Peter and his team from start to finish. The entire process was smooth, professional, and well organized. Everyone I dealt with was knowledgeable, responsive, and took the time to answer all of my questions and explain everything clearly. They kept me informed throughout the process, made what could have been a stressful experience feel easy, and went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track. I truly appreciate their professionalism and dedication. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a trustworthy team to help with their home financing. Great service and a great experience all around!

Guranteed Rate has been extremely helpful in every way. We have come to look at Peter and Solimar as friends. They have given us a lot of of their time and patience and we appreciate them very much. We have recommended you and one of our friends has obtained a mortgage through you. We will continue to do so in the future. Thank you again for having such nice people to work with.

Peter and his team work tirelessly to make our dream a reality. In fact I don't think any of them sleep! We had some challenging circumstances and more than a few hurdles. They had creative solutions to complex issues and were relentless in solving every problem we encountered. I would recommend them without hesitation, they were absolutely wonderful!

Our experience was excellent from start to finish. The entire team was very helpful, professional, and attentive to our needs. They took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure we understood the process every step of the way. We received exactly what we were looking for from their service, and we are very satisfied with the overall experience. We would definitely recommend their services to others.

We had a great experience with Peter. The process was quick, easy, and stress-free. Peter was always available if I had any questions and followed up when needed. I will definitely recommend him in the future.

Very easy to work with. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and elevated a good amount of anxiety in the closing process. I would recommend his services!

Very responsive, quick easy service. A complicated transaction made easy with Peter Traum and his team!

An amazing team. I have a complicated and difficult financial situation. With several rental properties and self employment. They worked through all of the issues and got us what we needed. And in relative short time frame. Communication was specific and prompt. I have never had such an excellent experience obtaining a mortgage. I highly recommend them and will use them again when I need another mortgage.

Wes thanks very much for that nice review and your kind words. It was our pleasure to help you and glad it worked out so well for you. Lots of luck. Peter

I have purchased 5 houses in my lifetime and worked With multiple lending companies. Peter was by far the best experience thus far. To really drill down on what made him stand out was his accuracy, timeliness and professionalism . I would encourage anyone to work with him in securing funding for their next home. Thank you Peter!

It has been a pleasure working with Peter. He went above and beyond to get my wife and me the loan we needed. We truly appreciate his knowledge and professionalism — he was on top of things throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Peter for your loan. We are truly happy with our purchase, and we would not have been able to do it without him.

We had a great experience working with Peter!! He was easy to work with, always kept us updated, and was quick to answer any questions or concerns we had. He was honest, informative, and made the whole mortgage process feel much less stressful. We really appreciated how responsive and helpful he was throughout everything. We'd definitely recommend him! Thank you Peter!

I am very thankful for Peter and the help he has offered me as a first time house owner. He helped me in every step of the way and made this difficult process easier. I would highly recommend.
Response from Owner
Yesenia congratulations again. Thanks for your kind review. Wishing you and your family lots of luck and happy memories in your new home! Peter

As a first-time homebuyer, I was incredibly nervous and intimidated by the entire process. I was doing it on my own and honestly had no idea where to begin. From my very first conversation with Peter, he immediately put me at ease. Peter wasn't just my mortgage broker—he was the person who helped me start the entire journey. He connected me with an outstanding realtor who was the perfect fit for me, recommended an excellent real estate attorney, guided me toward homeowners insurance, and helped me find every professional I needed along the way. Whenever there was a question about what to do next or who to contact, Peter had me covered. He guided me through every step of the mortgage process at a pace that felt comfortable while still moving things along remarkably quickly. He was always friendly, patient, and reassuring, and he took the time to answer every question I had—whether it was during business hours, after hours, or even on weekends. What impressed me most was his dedication and responsiveness. The speed with which I was able to move from starting the process to getting into my new home felt almost record-breaking, yet I never once felt rushed or overwhelmed. Even on closing day, Peter sat beside me and carefully explained every document and every line I was signing, making sure I fully understood everything. That level of personal attention meant so much to me. Thank you, Peter, for making what could have been a stressful and frightening experience feel manageable, exciting, and positive. As someone buying a home for the first time, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Peter went above and beyond in every possible way, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a mortgage broker. He didn't just help me secure a mortgage—he helped me build the entire team that made my dream of homeownership a reality. Warmly, Liz Norris

Liz thank you so much. I was very moved by your review. Thank you for your very very kind words. You stated all the reasons I do what I do and love my job! So glad you felt this way and so happy to see you in your first home. Wishing you lots of luck and many happy memories to come. Peter
Made the process of getting my loan very easy, very informative and helpful
Response and assistance was excellent

Looking for someone to handle a mortgage can be stressful. There are a ridiculous amount of people and companies to choose from. It can be overwhelming. So I asked a friend in Real Estate who she trusts and she recommended Peter Traum. Peter took the time to go over the different options we had available to us and helped us choose a loan type that fit our needs perfectly. In addition, Peter went above and beyond and picked up the documents we needed to submit and that saved me hours of scanning on my printer that doesn't have an automatic feeder.

Marla thank you for your kind review and congratulations to you guys on closing. I appreciate your trust and it was my pleasure to help. Lots of luck to you! Peter

My family and I have worked with Peter Traum at Rate for many years, and he has consistently exceeded our expectations. Peter has helped us secure the mortgage for our current home, refinance our current home, and even assisted my sister- and brother-in-law with their re-financing needs. Most recently, Peter helped us with the purchase of an investment property, and once again demonstrated the professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise we’ve come to rely on. Peter apart is always available to answer questions, proactively communicates throughout the process, and makes what can often be a stressful experience feel manageable and straightforward. His knowledge of the mortgage industry is exceptional, but just as important is the trust and confidence he builds with his clients. We have recommended Peter to family and friends without hesitation, and we will only work with him and his team on any future mortgage needs.

Response from Owner
Garrett thank you for your kind words. Congratulations again on becoming a homeowner for the first time and wishing you both many happy years and memories in your new home! Best regards, Peter

We had a great experience with Peter and his team from start to finish. Peter worked with us at every step of the way, responded to any questions we had, and was always available. But even beyond providing great service, Peter is really good at what he does - he pulled together a complicated loan in a very short period of time. Even after we closed, Peter has stayed in touch to ensure a smooth transition. Peter was great to work with!
Response from Owner
Shawn Congratulations again to you guys and thank you so much for the opportunity to help bring you "home!" I really appreciate your kind words. Wishing you both lots of luck and happy memories in your new home! Peter

My wife and I just purchased our first home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better mortgage broker than Peter. From start to finish, he was thorough, professional, communicative, and incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of the process. He took the time to answer all of our questions, kept us informed every step of the way, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. On top of that, he was genuinely kind and great to work with throughout the entire process. We can’t recommend Peter highly enough.
Response from Owner
Miles thank you very much for your kind review. It was a pleasure to help you guys get into your first home and I wish you many happy years there and best of luck! Peter

Peter was nothing short of incredible. We worked with him for both our initial mortgage and our refinance, and he was outstanding every step of the way. As first-time homebuyers, we needed someone who could guide us through the process, explain things clearly, and help us feel confident in the decisions we were making. Peter did exactly that. But what really sets him apart is that he doesn’t disappear after closing. He continued to be a trusted resource, gave us honest perspective on the market, and helped us recognize the right opportunity to refinance when rates came down. Buying a home is stressful enough. Having a lender you can truly trust makes an enormous difference. Peter is an excellent advisor, a great communicator, and just a genuinely good person to work with. I could not recommend him more highly.

Working with Peter was an absolute blessing! I switched over to him after having a terrible experience and Peter was on top of my loan application, helped me through every step and was available at all times of the day. It was quick and easy and I could not be more grateful! Recommended 100%!

Lissette thanks so much for your very kind words. It was my pleasure to help you and I wish you many happy years in your new home. Peter

Peter was truly exceptional throughout my entire journey. He treated my loan like a personal mission, showing up with dedication, compassion, and a level of commitment I’ve never experienced before. No matter the day or time, he was available to answer questions, calm any worries, and guide me through every step with patience and clarity. What set him apart was how personally invested he was. He advocated for me, protected my interests, and pushed the process forward with incredible effectiveness. Because of his relentless effort, I was able to close in such a record time, something I never imagined possible. Peter made me feel like my dream, my family, and my future truly mattered. If you want someone who combines expertise with genuine care, he is the one. A rare and remarkable professional.

Working with Peter was truly a great experience from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, transparent, and made the entire loan process feel much less overwhelming. He took the time to break things down in a way that was easy to understand and always made sure I felt comfortable moving forward. What I appreciated most was his responsiveness and dedication. No matter the time of day, he was available to answer questions, provide updates, and keep everything progressing smoothly. It was clear that he genuinely cared about helping me succeed, not just closing the deal. His professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile did not go unnoticed. I’m very thankful for his support throughout this process and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and hardworking lender.

He took the time to explain every step of the process, making sure I fully understood my options and felt confident in my decisions. What truly stood out was his dedication and availability. He went above and beyond, often working after hours to ensure everything stayed on track and deadlines were met.

Cynthia thank you very much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to assist you. Enjoy your first home! lots of luck!
I have refinanced my home for the first time with the help of Peter and his team. I was able to close very quickly, even with the process happening during the holiday season. Peter and his team were available on weekends and still available when most people were away and also during a busy month with other Closings trying to finalize before the end of the year. Peter walked me through every step, helped me come up with a plan and explained everything in detail. I 100% recommend Peter on your home buying and refinancing needs.

Peter has been very helpful throughout the process. He completed refinancing ahead of time and took care of every small detail. THANK YOU, Peter!

Thanks for the nice review, Yogesh! It was a pleasure to assist you. Wishing you lots of luck in the future.

Peter is fantastic! My wife had used him for a previous purchase and she wouldn't stop raving about how helpful, thorough, and kind Peter was. She was not wrong. He walked us through everything patiently. He gave us pointers along the way, helped with a few hiccups in the home buying process, and was with us every step of the way. We will definitely use Peter again and recommend him to anyone looking for a mortgage.
