Guaranteed Rate Chosen Lender of the Year – Again

Chicago,IL. December 5, 2011-For the second year in a row, Guaranteed Rate was voted Lender of the Year by Chicago Agent Magazine. Although there was plenty of stiff competition, local agents, builders and developers agreed that Guaranteed Rate’s straightforward business model structured around its customers is the best of its kind.

“Guaranteed Rate is delighted to be chosen Lender of the Year by the Chicagoland Realtor community.” Victor Ciardelli, CEO and president of Guaranteed Rate states, “We help our Realtor partners succeed in part by offering great mortgage rates and products, but we also go the extra mile by offering several unique and innovative tools to our Realtor partners that help differentiate them from the marketplace.”

Originally opening their operation in Chicago, Guaranteed Rate now covers 43 states with over 70 offices. With their forward-thinking approach and customer-orientated mindset, Guaranteed Rate has become one of the largest and fastest growing independent mortgage lenders in the country, while still keeping a neighborhood vibe.

“Guaranteed Rate’s business model has always placed the highest emphasis on helping our Realtor partners grow their businesses,” continues Victor Ciardelli, “so winning this honor is especially rewarding for us. Thank you again for this award and be assured that Guaranteed Rate will continue to work diligently in the years ahead in helping Realtors succeed in growing their own businesses.”
