Working with Ania and her team was a great experience in purchasing my first home. Her and her team kept timely, consistent communication with me throughout the entire process and were able to help me understand anything I had questions on. The rate app was also super easy to use to keep track of anything I needed to upload and keep track thongs. I am very happy to have been recommended to work with Ania and I would highly recommend her!

Response from Owner

I had a great experience working with Ania Kozera for my home purchase in Michigan. She made the entire mortgage process easy and stress-free, was always available to answer my questions, and kept everything moving smoothly from pre-approval through closing. Ania and her team were available any time that I needed anything. Any time I had any concern or any anxiety (there was a lot,) they were able to easily answer all my questions and put me at ease. I can not stress enough how great they all were. If you’re buying a home in Michigan and looking for a knowledgeable, responsive mortgage loan officer, I highly recommend Ania. She and her team were professional, efficient, and made sure we closed on time. I would absolutely work with her again!

Response from Owner

Ania Kozera was absolutely amazing! She helped me secure a second mortgage that turned my dream kitchen — and a few other home projects — into reality. She made the entire process easy, stress-free and even fun. Ania was always quick to respond, happy to answer questions and genuinely excited to help. If you want someone knowledgeable, dependable and wonderful to work with, Ania is the one!

Title: Exceptional Mortgage Experience from Start to Finish I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding experience I had with Guaranteed Rate while securing my mortgage to purchase my condo. From the very beginning, Anna Kozera and her entire team were absolutely amazing. Every detail was thoroughly checked and handled with great care, which gave me tremendous peace of mind throughout the entire process. I was especially impressed by how accessible they were—I could contact the mortgage company anytime during the day, even late in the evening, seven days a week. They always answered my questions and made sure I understood every step. What impressed me the most was how fast and efficiently they worked. Anna and her team communicated and cooperated closely with my real estate agent and attorney to make sure all of my needs were addressed and that everything stayed on track. I truly feel so lucky that I chose Guaranteed Rate for my loan. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and reassuring. Thanks to their hard work and support, my closing went smoothly and without any surprises. Thank you so much, Anna, and the entire team, for supporting me from the very beginning all the way to the closing. I highly recommend Guaranteed Rate to anyone looking for a mortgage company that genuinely cares about its clients and goes above and beyond! Grazyna Myslinska

Hi, Grazyna. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!

Anna is extremely professional! Everyone thinks they have everything under control until it's time to actually get things done. Difficulties can arise at every single stage of buying a house, so who you work with and who handles your case makes all the difference. To be completely honest, if it weren't for Anna, I wouldn't have been able to buy my home. Trust her. If Anna says she'll close the deal, trusting her will be the best decision you can make.

Response from Owner

Hi, Roman. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!

Ania and her team were very helpful in helping us get our loan in a time crunch and was very clear and open when answering all our questions. Quick, efficient, and helpful in so many ways.

Response from Owner

Hi, Azaan. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!

Great experience - was able to help secure a property in Wisconsin.

Response from Owner

Thank you so much for your kind words, Kevin. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us.

Working with Ania and her team was a great experience from beginning to end. Ania made my wife and I comfortable with the process and kept us in the loop extremely well. Ania also responded to our questions with frightening speed. The whole ensured we had the best rate when the time came and executed the lending part of our home buying journey with precise precision. If we were to go and buy another house in the future, we would look no where else but to Ania and her team.

Response from Owner

Thank you, Mike, for your positive review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

You can’t close in 14 days in Florida ! Ania and her team - Hold my beer!! 😊 Ania and her team are one of the most professional teams I worked with. Fast, friendly and very responsive. Can’t recommend enough! Thank you

​I cannot thank Anna Kozera enough for her incredible work. Going into this year, I didn't think buying a home was on the table for me as a first-time buyer. Anna completely changed that. She guided me through a bank statement loan program and made the entire process seamless. She truly made homeownership possible for me when I thought it was out of reach. Professional, knowledgeable, and highly recommended!

Response from Owner

We are absolutely thrilled to hear about your wonderful experience with the team! It truly warms our hearts to know that she was able to guide you through the bank statement loan program and make the entire home-buying process seamless for you as a first-time buyer.

We will make sure to pass along your kind words to everyone on the team, as feedback like yours means the world to us. Congratulations on your new home, and thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for recommending the Ania Kozera team.

Do not think twice! Ania’s team is the best if you want lot of confidence and peace of mind. They made my home buying process feel easier than buying a car. From the very beginning, they were honest, transparent, and clear about what I needed and what I didn’t need to get into during the process. I never felt pressured into anything unnecessary. Their communication, professionalism, and commitment truly stood out every step of the way. Anytime I had questions, they were responsive, patient, and willing to guide me through everything clearly. I’m very grateful for their support and would highly recommend Anias’ team to anyone looking for a trustworthy, transparent, and dedicated lender. They truly made the entire closing process smooth and stress-free.

Thanks for the great feedback, Dave. It was a pleasure working with you to get your home loan sorted out smoothly. I'm glad our team could make the process straightforward and easy for you from start to finish.

Excellent experience working with Ania! She offered a great and very competitive rate right from the start and never had a pushy sales approach like many loan officers do - which I really appreciated. Ran into one small issue and she took immediate initiative solving the problem and making sure everything was back on track. Ania will get the deal done and make the whole process feel like a breeze! I was clear to close in 15 days and even now weeks later I’m very glad and relieved I chose to go with her!
