    Overview of BBB Rating

    Overview

    Guaranteed Rate is a Chicago mortgage banker which allows prospective homeowners to apply for and get approved for a home mortgage online, in addition to providing mortgage calculators, credit scores, and other financial information for consumers to use. The company allows for individuals to apply for a mortgage through their loan application, which allows them to customize the rates and conditions of their loan to fit their specific needs. They then gain access to a free credit score report from the three credit bureaus to assist them in seeking their loan and determining how much of a mortgage they can afford. Using the company's automated underwriting service, individuals who qualify for a mortgage can receive their acceptance letter to purchase a home without waiting for a bank and third party. Guaranteed Rate NMLS ID 2611. For more information go to www.NMLSconsumeraccess.org

      Answered
      Last year I was so excited to close on my first home. The only problem is it never happened like I was promised. My experience with this company was horrible and embarrassing. I was advised that I qualified for a VA loan. I submitted all my documentation paid all fees and was given a closing date only to be told I didn't qualify. Once I discovered the error the team was very inconsiderate and rude. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

      If it's to good to be true it probally is. I got preapproved for ****** HELO only to find out I can't use my wife's income. Doesn't say that when you apply. They gave me some BS story that ** isn't a community property. BS again because I've shopped around and was able to get it with a co signer and my wife's income with other companies.They told me to reapply so I did and now I'm not qualified for the loan. They string you along, take forever and just when you think your good, they pull some kind stunt.
