We had an outstanding experience with Devonate Brooks and his team at Rate Mortgage. From start to finish, they were incredibly organized, communicative, patient and supportive throughout the entire financing process. Devontae took the time to clearly explain each step, answered all our questions promptly, and made sure we always knew what to expect. His efficiency and attention to detail helped everything move along smoothly and on time. What really stood out was how approachable and reassuring the team was. They made a complicated process feel much less overwhelming. We truly felt like we were in good hands. We are so grateful for their hard work in helping us secure our home and would highly recommend Devontae and his team to anyone needing mortgage services.

Devonte Brooks goes the extra steps to explain how things work and what effect the different options will have for your financial future.

Kristen D.

Guaranteed rate did an excellent job in helping me close on a VA loan in an expedited time. Devontae and his team communicated well and kept me informed throughout the entire process. They also worked a rate buy down that helped lower my payment for the first couple years. My only negative comment is in regards to miscommunications between my lender and realtor on how the closing costs were going to work. I had to unexpectedly cover my realtors commission which was over 8K. I still recommend Guaranteed rate because they consistently worked to meet my needs and act in my best interest all while closing in record time.
