Thank you, Jeff ! We’re thrilled to earn your 5-star rating. The Matts & Team are committed to great service, and it’s wonderful to hear we delivered. Hope to see you again soon!

Worked with Matt Paradis and he was awesome!! Always quick with responses and no problem answering all my questions. Very supportive and guides you through the process. Definitely recommend!!!

Response from Owner

Thank you for the recommendation and for sharing your experience working with Matt Paradis. We’re glad he was quick to respond, answered every question, and guided you through the mortgage process with the support you needed. Clear communication and a step-by-step approach are how The Matts at Rate help homebuyers and homeowners in Geneva and across Chicagoland feel informed from pre-approval through closing—whether it’s a first-time home purchase, a refinance, or a more complex loan. We’re grateful you chose our team and would be happy to help again whenever you or someone you know needs a mortgage in the Fox Valley or greater Chicago area.

Working with Matt was so easy. He made sure to explain everything and ask along the way if certain things were clear. It felt like an old friend was helping me and that lessened some of the stress of buying a house! Could not recommend enough!

Response from Owner

Thank you so much for sharing this — it means a lot to Matt and the whole team. We’re glad working with Matt made buying a house feel straightforward and a lot less stressful. Taking the time to explain each step of the home-buying process, and checking in to make sure everything is clear, is exactly how he likes to work with buyers. Hearing that it felt like help from an old friend is the kind of feedback we value most. We’re grateful for the recommendation and happy we could be part of your purchase. If you ever have questions about the home, need a referral for a local vendor, or know someone looking for a real estate agent who walks clients through buying a house with patience and clear communication, Matt is always happy to help. Congratulations again on your new home!

We always recommend the Matt’s with Rate! They communicate extremely well, stay on top of everything, and get it done right every time! As local realtors, we always feel confident sending our clients their way!

Response from Owner

Thank you for the recommendation and for trusting us with your clients — that means a great deal to Matt and the Rate team. We know how important it is for local realtors to have a mortgage partner who communicates clearly, stays on top of every detail, and gets loans closed correctly and on time. Matt takes that responsibility seriously with every buyer you send our way, from pre-approval through closing. We’re grateful for the confidence you place in us and for the strong working relationship we share with real estate agents in the area. If you ever need a quick update on a file, a second look at a loan scenario, or want to introduce another client who is buying a home, Matt is always available. We appreciate the partnership and look forward to helping more of your clients finance their next home.

I am not a person to leave public reviews unless there was a profound impact made. If you are seeking assistance on getting a mortgage and purchasing a home, your best and only call is to The Matt Guys. I found them through asking for referrals on a local Facebook group—they had the most mentions and, for good reason. Matt Paradis, Matt Del Giudice, and the entire team behind them with Rate made the mortgage process incredibly simple and smooth for a self-employed, single, and first time homeowner. I contacted them with urgency to buy a home to leave a domestic violence case with legal matters proceeding quickly. In this, they were professional, efficient, prompt, attentive, and demonstrated empathy and expertise from the first call to even after closing on my home. They are the best around and I’m grateful to have had their support and expertise in a trying time. Contact them for help!

I had the pleasure to work with Beth, and let me tell you she was amazing! The Matts double amazing!
