it was such a joy partnering with you on your home loan. Our entire team really enjoyed working together to make everything run smoothly from start to finish. Thank you for the wonderful feedback!
I had a great experience working with Guarantee Rate, and Mike was an excellent loan officer. He was professional, responsive, and made the process clear from start to finish. Communication was excellent, and he was always willing to answer questions and explain each step. I would definitely recommend him and Guarantee Rate to anyone looking for a reliable and smooth experience.

I had an outstanding experience working with my lender Mike Brustad. From start to finish, he was incredibly patient and took the time to guide me through every step of the process. No matter how many questions I had, he was always responsive and made themselves available whenever I needed clarification or support.
What really stood out was how much he truly advocated for me. Mike worked hard to ensure I got the best possible deal while also listening carefully to what I wanted. I never felt rushed or overlooked; instead, I felt supported and understood throughout the entire journey.
I highly recommend working with Mike Brustad if you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely committed to your best outcome.

Very impressed with Mike Brustad He works with excellence. He’s efficient And communicated every step of the way with us! Thank you Mike!
Mike and his team are fabulous to work with. They are all very knowledgeable and kind. They closed our cash out refinance in thirty days. We uploaded all the requested documents, and signed all our initial disclosures online.
They provided a notary to come to our house to close. We did have to hand sign closing documents, but Kate, the Notary, was prepared and ready. The closing went smoothly.
I highly recommend Mike Brustad and Guaranty Rate Mortgage for your home loan needs.
I cannot say enough about my recent experience with Mike Brustad with Guaranteed Rate Infinity, during the purchase of my new home. From our first conversation and throughout the home buying experience, Mike went above and beyond to not only ensure that he secured the very best rate for me, but that I was kept informed and supported throughout the process. He answered my calls or texts regardless of the day or time, even on the weekends.. and also talked me off the cliff a time or two when I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, as all new homebuyers probably do. He is kind, caring and beyond knowledgeable about home mortgages, rates and all details involved in the home buying experience. If you are buying your first home or your 5th, I couldn’t recommend anyone for the job that would take better care of you than Mike, hands down! Coming from a Registered Nurse that has cared for patients and families for over 35 years, Mike cares for his clients like I care for my patients..and that is a rare gift…My Best, Candace

As a real estate professional, I have had the pleasure of working with Mike Brustad on few transactions. Each one has been a positive experience resulting in a successful closing with him as a mortgage lender.
Mike stands out in the industry due to his extensive knowledge of mortgage products and his unwavering commitment to providing exceptional service. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that my clients receive the best possible loan options tailored to their unique financial situations, to also include first time homebuyer programs that was able to assist with down payment& closing cost assistance.
Mike & his team provided clear and effective communication, all parties were kept informed throughout the lending process, ensuring that everyone was on the same page and any potential issues are addressed promptly. This level of transparency and reliability is crucial in our industry.
Mike is also highly efficient and detail-oriented. He understands the importance of meeting deadlines and works diligently to ensure that the loan process progresses smoothly and on time. His proactive approach and meticulous attention to detail have consistently resulted in timely and successful closings for my clients.
