Emmett and his team are professionals that are consistent and knowledgeable through the home loan process from start to finish. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Perfect interaction from start to finish! Would highly recommend!

Emmett was referred to me after feeling like two previous lenders lacked communication. As a first time home buyer, I was clueless. However, Emmett made the process easy and manageable. He walked me through every step and did not hesitate at all to answer any and all questions. I would recommend working with him!

We are repeat customers of Emmett and his team as they helped us buy our starter and now our (hopefully) forever home. His knowledge and experience in the lending space provided us with a menu of options that helped us decide the best choice for our family. Throughout the process he was responsive and attentive to our questions, and help us clear the many hurdles it takes to purchase a home on 2026. Thank you again Emmett and team for your support, guidance, and knowledge.
Fast and efficient closing.

Simply said, Emmett Harkins was the absolute best. He made my home buying experience a smooth one. What more could I say, he was knowledgeable, professional, forthcoming with information, and very engaging. Thank you so much for everything Emmett!!
Because RATE is excellent, Emmett and Kristen supported us every step of the way.

We worked with Emmett Harkins and he was so helpful providing us with numbers we needed for houses of interest. Easy to work with, readily available and just a nice guy.
Extremely quick and smooth process with no issues!

Emmett and Kristin were fantastic throughout the entire process. They guided me every step of the way with professionalism and care. Emmett especially went above and beyond, thinking quickly and making critical decisions close to closing—thanks to his quick thinking, everything came together smoothly and successfully

Emmett Harkins was very easy to work with. He responded almost immediately to request about the cost of potential homes we were considering. Any questions we had were answered in a timely matter. We felt very comfortable with him and would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Great service! My experience with Rate was superb! Emmert and team were on top of things from the “get go” and making the process much easier and less stressful. Knowing they had everything rolling and were monitoring the entire process, I could relax and concentrate on other things. Good service is hard to find or nonexistent. Excellent service you need to refer and share with others so don’t think twice about using Rate. They are a “5” and I was thrilled to find them.

Emmett was such a pleasure to work with in walking us through the purchase of our home in PA. We were navigating the process from Texas and he was always immediately accessible for completing items in a timely manner. Emmett was also an excellent source of information about the area. I highly recommend him for any real estate financing needs. -Bill and Robin Vancak
As a first time buyer Emmet handed everything. Not only the technicalities but with helping to answer questions I had. The process was made much easier by his experience and support. Incredibly efficient and hard working.

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us through every step of the way buying our first home! Emmett is the best. SUCH an approachable, friendly, knowledgeable and all around great guy. He made the complexities of the financing side of home buying a piece of cake. Really grateful to have worked with Emmett — would recommend him to anyone!

My experience was great with Rate. They were super easy to work with and very helpful throughout the loan process.

Cannot say enough great things about Emmett! He made this process so smooth and stress free for my husband and I. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and responsive. Having him by our side throughout the process of buying our first home was the best decision that we made. Thank you Emmett!!

I can’t say enough good things about Emmett at Guaranteed Rate! From the beginning, he was SO positive to interact with. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave me & my husband several options to choose what worked best. Once we found our house, he kept a close eye on the interest rates and let us know when they were at their lowest to lock us in. This was so great because we were way too busy to keep track of that! Beyond that, the communication was amazing. He would get back to us quickly even when we weren’t expecting him to. He worked tirelessly getting us several estimates on closing costs and making pre-approval letters on short notice to meet deadlines (the market was very competitive). Even more, when we had a big letdown losing a house we loved, he sent us an encouraging message that was so thoughtful! Lastly, I have to highlight Emmett’s patience. Being new homebuyers, we were extremely nervous! He never faltered, answering all our questions professionally and reassuring us throughout the way. Overall we are so happy with our mortgage and would highly highly recommend Emmett!

Em was very very helpful with every step. His patience was most appreciated since i am not that knowledgeable in this field. He also worked very hard to get me a great mortgage, which I'm very happy with. I still contact him if I have any questions and he is quick to help. I highly recommend him!!

Emmett has helped my wife and I secure a fantastic Mortgage not once but 2 times. He always has something up his sleeve to try and get you the best rates, and is always happy to answer any questions you might have, especially as a first time home buyer. Cant recommend enough!

Emmett was awesome to work with, made everything so easy for us to understand and was available for questions 24/7!

Emmett and his team helped us through a very stressful period with ease. He was always positive at times when we were not. Em is a great guy and we highly recommend working with him to assist with your home financing!

I met Emmett through my realtor Jannelle and working with him has been amazing. Emmett ensured he was readily available to answer all of my questions and concerns. He made my homebuying process extremely stressful! Emmett combated every obstacle that attempted to arise during this journey. Even at the last hour when me closing cost looked as if they were going to increase, he worked to ensure things worked in my favor. He worked to get me as much extra financial assistance from the previous owner to limit my cost and for that I am extremely grateful. Emmett worked overtime for me during this process...Thank you!!!!

So thankful that my realtor introduced us to Emmett. He made this process so smooth and easy. When he tells you that he walk you step by step through everything he 100 percent means it. We had a couple hiccups that we caused and he was there to fix them for us. We cannot thank him enough for all of his efforts and availability through the home purchasing process.

Thank you for the kind words. I am grateful every day to work with wonderful clients like you. Enjoy your new home!

I was on the hunt for my first home, and I had been searching for months with little success. Then, I met Emmett, a realtor recommended. From our first meeting, emmett’s dedication and expertise were evident. He took the time to understand my preferences, budget, and needs. What truly set him apart was his commitment to finding the perfect home for me and my wife. Emmett was incredibly patient and never pressuring me to make a decision. He had an impressive knowledge of the local housing market and was always well-prepared with information about each property we visited. This experience with Emmett made a stressful process enjoyable and memorable. It reminded me of the importance of having a dedicated and knowledgeable professional by your side when navigating the real estate market. Jaysson,

Thank you! Making sure my clients are well-informed and comfortable with the process is a high priority for me.

Emmett is an absolute ace. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, he takes the time and the care to explain each aspect of the process in detail. He is connected and well liked in the field which makes advocating for his clients very easy. Emmett is supportive and calm through what is an extremely stressful process. He was there with my at my closing and available for any random panicked calls or text messages. He is a gift to anyone going through the home buying process and he will approach your needs and fears with zero judgement and a proactive approach. I hope anyone reading this is lucky enough to get to work with him.
