Julie was very helpful. In so many ways buying a home in your own city, even in your own state, is easier than buying one halfway across the country. Julie spent not just hours, but days helping me secure a home lone half way a ross the country and was by my side through thick and thin. Her team are allstars, earned my respect and trust.

I can't recommend Julie enough! She was extremely kind, personable, and completely transparent throughout the entire process. As a first-time home buyer, I had endless questions, and Julie patiently answered every single one while going above and beyond to help me get the home I wanted. Her support made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and exciting. I will definitely be referring her to friends and family and using her again in the future!

I had an excellent experience with Guaranteed Rate Mortgage and gave them a 10/10 because I’ve worked with Julie in the past. She helped me get my first homebuyer loan. I came back to refinance with Julie & her team cause they all truly earned my trust. From beginning to end, they were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. They guided me through the entire mortgage process, explained everything clearly, and made sure I always knew what to expect. Their professionalism and support made a stressful process feel manageable. I highly recommend Guaranteed Rate to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy mortgage lender

Julie Farrell with Rate is absolutely amazing. I came back to her to refinance my home because she was my very first loan officer who helped me buy my first home and once again, she exceeded my expectations.
Julie made the entire refinance process incredibly smooth from start to finish. She is excellent at explaining things clearly, truly listens to concerns, and takes the time to educate you on things you may not fully understand. I never felt rushed or confused at any point.
What really stands out is how reassuring she is throughout the entire process. She kept me informed, answered all my questions, and made me feel confident every step of the way. I genuinely trust her and highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and supportive loan officer.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Julie, Merissa & Team, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough! From the very beginning, they demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for our financial needs. Julie’s ability to clearly explain each step of the loan process made everything seamless and stress-free.
What truly set her apart was her responsiveness, and commitment to customer service. Every question we had was answered promptly, and she went above and beyond to ensure we got the best possible rate and terms. Thanks to her dedication and guidance, we felt confident and supported throughout the entire experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and knowledgeable to help with your loan, look no further than Julie! She is THE BEST!! We love our new home and are super thankful for having her in our corner!
Julie went above and beyond to bring our dream home into reality! Working weekends, answering phone calls,emails and endless questions, even through the holidays and a cold! We were able to place our offer, and Julie got our deal completed in what has to be the fastest closing ever! This all makes a world of difference when you have your eye on THE home of your dreams! I highly recommend Julie and her team at RATE

Thank you very much for this thoughtful review. It was truly an honor to be part of your journey to your dream home, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to assist you. Congratulations again, and thank you for placing your trust in our team.

Very nice and helpful

Julie is always so attentive and communicative! We initially met when she was helping a buyer on one of my listings. The transaction went completely sideways and Julie was able to save the day with some creative problem solving. Moving forward to today when she helped our joint clients land an amazing property with outside the box solutions, by switching to a cash purchase, even though she's in the mortgage biz, she supported the clients first. They are able to gather a loan with her after the fact to reimburse their accounts so really everyone wins in the end.
Thanks Julie!

Julie, Merissa and everyone with The Farrell Team were absolutely amazing from start to finish.

Julie and her associate, Merissa, are an awesome team! Julie's years of experience and Merissa's energy and great communication skills are a powerful force. They made the process of buying a house easy and walked me through until the end. Merissa picked up the phone after work hours to answer questions and kept me updated. I can't recommend them enough! Thank you Julie and Merissa ❤️

Julie is an awesome mortgage rep and even a better human!
I'm glad we went with Julie. Our situation was not normal this time, but Julie and Merissa were very helpful to make it all happen for us to get our new dream home. We didn't have all the information for the loan stuff but we trusted them and it all went fine. We're now enjoying what seems to be an upgrade of a home and we would recommend Julie's team to our friends. Thank you again!

Julie and her team were wonderful on helping us with our loan and keeping us informed of what was happening the whole time. Being first time buyers, we had essentially no idea of what to expect, but Julie made it feel not so overwhelming.

Julie was a big help to us to find funding after the first lender backed out. She’s friendly and knows a lot about getting us thru the financing process for home mortgages.

Thank you Hannah for the kind words. Happy to help you with your home purchase. We're here for you even after your loan has closed so don't hesitate to reach out.
It’s been a year since I closed my loan with Julie. As a first time home buyer, their team is top notch. Any questions I ask her, she goes above and beyond to help me understand vs. just telling me what to do. I texted her about removing our mortgage insurance and their team helped me call the servicer to make sure I had the necessary paperwork. Definitely feeling cared for. Thanks JF!
Response from Owner
Awe thank you Nick! Happy to help whenever possible even when the loan is over ;)
It was pleasant and painless. It was not my first refinance but, due to circumstances it was the most complicated and, they made it simple and easy to go through.
Response from Owner

Julie and her team were incredibly helpful during our entire home buying process. They all were great communicators and always answered any questions we had along the way. They made our first home buying journey a breeze and definitely found us the best rates. We will always return to Julie for future purchases and highly recommend them to everyone else!

Working with you Carissa is such a delight! You are professional, a great negotiator and I love collaborating with you! I look forward to serving you and your clients again soon.
Julie and her team rock. I’ve given her a couple of very challenging deals and she and her team closed them on time without breaking a sweat. Julie’s expertise, knowledge and calm demeanor is what helped to make them great experiences.
Thank~you, Julie, Nichole and Team for your partnership in helping my buyer get her dream home. The buyer was only available on the weekends to work on her loan or to look at properties locally. Julie agreed to meet with her on a Sunday and partnered with me for a group meeting afterwards. Julie provided clear parameters for the terms of the offer so I could write an effective offer. Nichole sent positive, informative emails or text's to me and the buyer to keep everything running smooth. They resolved a big issue towards the end that might have prevented the loan from going through too!
We had a great experience with Loanstar. Julie and her team went above and beyond in a difficult situation. Our condo was three months late in being finished and Julie was able to keep our loan rate secured. They were always available to answer questions and keep us informed. Loanstar came highly recommended to us and we would certainly pass that on.
Thank you,
Kay Fitch
