Our Story
Guaranteed Rate was founded in 2000, and has since become one of the largest independent residential mortgage lenders in the nation. Since inception, Guaranteed Rate has continued to experience rapid growth with an increase in funding volume from $195 million in 2000 to approximately $7 billion in 2011.
The company’s innovative and unique approach to mortgage lending has been the key to its phenomenal success. Taking the best practices from market leaders in other industries and applying them to the mortgage business, Guaranteed Rate has instituted innovative systems and technologies that have significantly reduced overall operating costs – a savings that is passed on to the consumers by offering low rates and fees.
The company’s leading edge approach has also produced a much higher level of customer service. The application process has been streamlined and automated so that a customer can apply online and get pre-approved within one hour. Much of the underwriting process has been automated; reducing the total time a customer is able to close their loans from months to days.
Guaranteed Rate has developed a Realtor® Partner Advantage Program along with an online Partner Xchange to provide extensive marketing support for our agents. The program is based on feedback from the real estate community and includes services such as custom flyers, a monthly magazine for clients, loan status updates, mortgage calculators, dashboard of real estate news/videos and discounts through our affiliated service providers.
