He was available at all hours and was constantly updating us as well as communicating on our behalf to other parties involved in our home purchase . He really made all the difference .

If you are in the market and looking for a mortgage loan officer and company to work with I would high recommend Chris Strauss & Guranteed Rate! During the entire process Chris was excellent with communication and guidance with getting us approved for a loan. He is transparent and flexible where possible to get you the best rate possible based on your current financial standing and capabilities. Nonetheless, he made sure all our questions and concerns were addressed and left no stone unturned. My wife and I will definitely consider working with Chris & Guaranteed Rate for our future home buying endeavors!

Chris was the perfect lender to help me secure my first mortgage. He was honest and worked daily with me to make sure I understood every term, step, and strategy to ensure I could afford the purchase long-term! Couldn’t have asked for a more patient, personable, and intelligent lender!
