We had such a great experience working with Max Deulofeu and his team! As first-time homebuyers, we really had no idea what to expect going into the process, but Max made everything so much easier for us. As 22 and 23-year-olds, we felt like buying a home was not doable for us. Max made sure that we actually could own a home, which was our dream for so long. He was always patient, helpful, and willing to answer all of our questions along the way. We genuinely enjoyed working with him and always felt like he had our best interests in mind. Buying our first home was a huge milestone for us, and although we definitely faced a few bumps along the way, Max and his team never gave up on us and did everything they could to make it happen. We are so grateful for all the time and effort he put into getting us into our first home. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We would recommend Max to anyone looking for a lender, especially young couples and/or first-time homebuyers. Thank you, Max, for helping us make this happen! Truly the best!

We just closed a house with Shant and team. They are all very professional, reliable, and easy to work with and communicate. Their rates are also competitive and best of all, you can be sure you close on time!

Moving and getting a loan is always stressful and time-intensive. Working with Shant and his team (Adam, Justin) made the process easy. I was also evaluated for loan approval quickly and there was no guessing about what was next. One minute I was filing information and the next minute I was at appraisal! This team is hard-working and full of integrity. They have many tools at their disposal to help with this process. I don't want to move again but if I have to, I would use Shant and his team!

Very helpful for my first time home buying experience and also accommodating to my specific needs!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Andres Benitez on Shant's team. Andres was especially helpful in guiding my wife and I as first time homebuyers. He was also readily available on evenings and weekends to accommodate our schedule. The team delivered well ahead of timelines to ensure a smooth closing.

I’m so grateful to Max Deulofeu and his entire team for helping me through the process of buying my first home! As a first-time homebuyer, I had so many questions, but they were always patient, professional, and available to guide me every step of the way. They made what could have been a stressful process feel much easier and gave me confidence throughout the journey. I truly appreciate their hard work, communication, and dedication to helping me achieve this important milestone. Thank you for helping make my dream of becoming a homeowner a reality! I highly recommend this team to anyone looking to purchase a home, especially first-time buyers

They made the process easier for me, a first time home buyer, made sure I was in the loop on anything related to the property, had answers to all my questions and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. Really great team to work with, heard my needs and got me into my home at a price I could afford. Really great work and I’m a very happy customer.

Shant is fantastic, I first used him for a condo I purchased when I was 23 and just now I worked with him again for a family home with my husband. Shant is super responsive and a straight shooter; when purchasing a previous home he worked with my husband closely to explore all of his VA options along with traditional loans. Shant's biggest asset is his team - Kevin Farrelly was fantastic, available nights & weekends to get me updates and sort out questions I had. Kevin also walked me through the process even when I was working with the other members on his team. Julie Ard was unbelievable when it came to communicating with the underwriters and helping me close in a tight 3 week timeline. Overall Shant is trustworthy and his team are rockstars!

Excellent attention And great professionals, Andres and his team are incredible

Shant was the calm in the storm. Purchasing a house is stressful but Shant and his team are professionals. They helped me close incredibly fast and get an interest rate that I couldn’t find anywhere else (believe me, I tried).

Shant and his team (Adam, Rose, and Camille) were absolutely fantastic - cannot recommend them enough. We were first time homebuyers and they were really knowledgeable and patient with us. We went from being uncertain buyers to needing to close within 21 days on a place and they made it happen (3 days early too!). We had lots of questions - even as someone who works in finance this process is overwhelming and their team walked me through all of it. They communicated well, were timely, responsive, and professional!

I had a great experience with Max and Edward on Shant's team. They were both incredibly responsive to all my questions during the mortgage application process and even after closing. They made the process easy to understand for me as a first-time homebuyer and I appreciated their good communication skills with the others involved in the process (realtor, lawyer, etc.).

Soup to nuts, Shant and his team cover everything, every step of the way. From your house search to the closing process and even after, keeping an eye on re-fi prospects. It was a pleasure to deal with the Rate team. We will again.

Shant and the entire team at Rate were terrific. The application process was streamlined and efficient. They answered all my questions promptly and got me to closing in roughly 3 weeks. Could not have asked for a better experience!

I applied for HELOC and everything was done online without any problems. Responses were immediate and helpful. I recommend everyone to contact them for any housing loan.

It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. As a first time home buyer they made the process easy and understandable. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to buy.

Excellent customer service.

There is not a single thing that I would change about the process. As promised, there were no surprises. Everything was explained at a level of detail that I knew what was happening, but in plain vanilla English so that I did not get confused.

Easy process and great communication

Our team was responsive and kind. They went above and beyond to make sure we closed on time.

Incredible support and speed, plus friendliness of the team. Couldn't be happier.

Because Andre is the best.

Excellent service

Great service

Got me a good rate. Made the process reasonable. Best mortgage broker I have worked with.

The process was simple and everyone I spoke with answered all my questions and concerns.

They were great and smooth

Timely and effective communication with fast turn-around for a quick closing date.

We worked with Andres Benitez for our re-financing and he made the entire process so easy for us. He is thoughtful, flexible, open to suggestions and made the entire experience enjoyable. He was on top of everything, very prompt email responses to all our questions. He definitely went above and beyond to ensure we are happy! Everything was done in 15 days!!

very helpful and swift

It is excellent processing

"Fantastic experience with Ross, at Rate. They were proactive, extremely responsive, and kept me informed through the entire process. I closed on time without any issues. Thank you, Shant, Ross, and everyone at Rate!"

Seamless process and a good rate.

On top of a stressful process of finding a house, they take the stress out of the most important part, which is the mortgage. Also, their communication is top notch and they are VERY responsive.

Great communication as well as friendly and helpful staff.

Shant's team is exceptional, and made the process easy. My questions were always answered in a timely, efficient, and polite manner. The execution was flawless, that's why I chose, again, Rate as my lender. Shout out to Sarah for the months of inquiries, and her always be there to answer (even on weekends). Just a fantastic experience - thank you!

Fast, closing on time

Libby and rose were great

They provided a lot of very helpful information during the loan application and closing processes. They were clear and prompt with their communication.

Helpful people, very responsive and explained every step of the way for me to understand

They were so easy to work with and also provided explanations of what everything meant along the way and what to expect. They made the home process way less intimidating!

Speed to closure - the only organization able to meet a tight close deadline (but at the cost of a very onerous documentation process). The dashboard for document uploads / questionnaires was efficient. The teams I worked with were willing to get on the phone, hear my story, and advocate for me.
