Derek has been great and very professional

Brian A.

Derek was amazing to work with. Very knowledgeable, respectful, and was on top of things from start to finish. This was the best refi experiences I have ever had. Rate was an excellent company to work with.

Derek Towns was very easy to work with. He was very communicative, always very kind on the phone or email and always answered the questions I had while going through a refinance. I’m a very persistent person so I hope I didn’t cause too much of a headache for him! You never realize the steps you have to go through when you own a manufactured home but I’m certain every step were the right ones. I’m just glad we were finally able to do this and Rate gave us that opportunity. Thank you to Derek and everyone on his team for helping us navigate this loan process.

Took care of business On a timely basis

I recently worked with Derek Towns at Rate.com for a small renovation HELOC, and the entire experience was outstanding. The process was extremely easy, and we were able to close within three weeks. Communication was excellent throughout, documents were uploaded electronically, and I received weekly updates on document reviews, requested items, and loan status. Derek was completely transparent about loan origination fees and closing costs. On the day of closing, he even arranged for a mobile notary to verify identity, notarize the documents, and scan them back to the lender. The process was efficient, client-friendly, and seamless. Derek’s approach focused on educating me about different loan options and providing clear guidance on each one. He exceeded all expectations.

Fast, easy, better rate, lower payment.
