How Business Creates Value:

Many people get frustrated with the home loan process for a number of reasons. For some, the mortgage process can take a long time and your application can drag on for months. Maybe the customer service representative you are dealing with won’t give you a clear answer or communicate with you effectively. Unlike other mortgage lenders, I stay in constant communication with my clients, helping them through the whole mortgage process. This means I take you from the initial loan application and issuing your pre-approval letter to signing the final loan documents and funding your loan. If there is a part of the mortgage process my clients find confusing or are unsure about, I make sure to answer their questions comprehensively and without any ambiguity.

 

How Member Creates Value: 

At Rate One Financial, Inc., mortgage broker since 2005, we specialize in finding creative solutions to your mortgage needs. No matter the loan scenario, we likely have experience dealing with it. We use our resources and experience to make sure you are satisfied with your mortgage product and service.
