Working with and supporting George has truly been a positive experience. George is not only dedicated to his clients and business partners, but he also brings a calm, professional, and approachable presence to every transaction. He genuinely cares about the people he works with, and that shows in the way he communicates, follows through, and makes others feel supported throughout the process. One of the things I appreciate most about George is his consistency and the respect he shows to everyone around him. He works hard, stays engaged, and always strives to do what’s best for his clients while also being a great person to work alongside. His positive attitude and steady approach make a real difference, especially during busy or stressful moments. George is someone you can count on, as he brings professionalism, kindness, and commitment to his role every day.

I am writing to share my positive experience working with George McFaden. George was incredibly helpful in refinancing my condo after we previously faced challenges due to litigation regarding a deck built before our purchase. Because we couldn't secure a standard loan at that time, our original APR was quite high. Thanks to George’s assistance with the refinance, we successfully secured a lower APR and a significantly reduced monthly payment.

George is very knowledgeable in the real estate industry and what we appreciate most about him is his willingness to jump on a quick call to chat through logistics, details, questions, advice, you name it - he’s there for you 24/7. Having gone through the mortgage lending process now twice with George and his team, their timely communication and excellent expertise enabled us to feel confident going through the entire home buying process. Thank you Guaranteed Rate Affinity!

George pays attention to detail and is a solution based lender. I recommend George highly to anyone looking to get a mortgage.

George has been a fantastic partner on transactions. He’s quick to pick up the phone, communicates clearly with both me and my clients, and his pre-approvals actually hold up under offer scrutiny — which matters in this market. Twenty-plus years of experience shows in how calmly he navigates the curveballs every deal seems to throw. My clients walk away feeling informed and confident, and that’s the highest compliment I can give a lender. If you’re buying or refinancing in the Bay Area, you’re in great hands with George.

I’ve worked with George McFaden at Guaranteed Rate Affinity several times now and he’s been consistently excellent. The process is efficient, fully digital, and very well managed end to end. George is highly responsive, clear in his communication, and follows through exactly as promised. He’s straightforward, reliable, and easy to work with. I'm so glad I was referred to him and I’d recommend him to others without hesitation.

Fast, effective, and a good advocate. One thing that would have helped would be a written intro to the team & their responsibilities. Sometimes I was contacting people without knowing if they were the right ones to contact.

Great service, speed

George McFadden and his team are absolutely outstanding. I have bought and sold six homes in my life, so I’ve had more than enough experience dealing with mortgage brokers, lenders, and the home financing process. Without hesitation, I can say George and his team are simply in a league of their own. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, responsive, efficient, and thorough in everything they did. What truly set them apart was the level of care, communication, and guidance they provided throughout the entire process. They never made me feel rushed or like I was just another transaction. Instead, they took the time to walk me through every option available, clearly explaining the pros and cons of each decision, the long-term financial implications, and how each choice could impact me and my family down the road. That level of transparency and thoughtfulness is rare, and it made a huge difference. I felt genuinely informed, protected, and confident every step of the way. There is a tremendous amount of peace of mind that comes from knowing you have the right team in your corner during such a major financial decision, and that is exactly how I felt working with George and his team. If you are looking for a mortgage broker who is sharp, trustworthy, fast, communicative, and truly invested in doing what is best for you, I cannot recommend George McFadden and his team highly enough. Five stars without question.

It was an absolute pleasure working with George and his team throughout this process. His guidance, patience, and professionalism made navigating such an important milestone feel smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciated the thoughtful partnership at every step. Erika and Cinthia were also fantastic—consistently responsive, prompt, and on top of everything, which made the entire experience a breeze. The online portal was especially impressive; having tasks clearly laid out and easy to track made the process very organized and transparent. The chat bot feature at the beginning was a great touch as well, answering many of my initial questions right away. The detailed analyses provided through the portal were extremely informative and helped me feel confident that I was making well-informed decisions based on clear, tangible data. It was easy to discuss the different options with George using these data points. I also really enjoyed the short video updates along the way—they added a personal touch that made even email communication feel more engaging. Overall, this was an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend George and his team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and client-focused experts.

I found my dream house! However, I wasn’t prepared to sell my current house and needed help navigating lending options. Others were interested in the home and time was short. I needed to secure the deal quickly. George listened intently to my needs and wants. He gathered the pertinent information and developed the solution I needed to secure the deal while giving me the time to prepare and sell my current home. George was available to me throughout the process and gave me a gentle nudge when something important required my attention. He is truly a joy to work with. I needed a solution and George delivered. I am living in my new home listening to crickets and bullfrogs. He helped me realize my dream. I am forever grateful.

George was a fantastic partner for both our initial financing and our refinance. Through no fault of ours (or George's), not everything with our initial financing went smoothly, but George came through in record time and saved the deal. The refinance then went flawlessly. George was professional, friendly, always responded promptly, and found us a great rate. I have no hesitation to recommend him.
