History

Established in 2004.

Though it is a national company, perhaps it’s the personal touch Guaranteed Rate provides that keeps my business growing. The internal systems that we have in place allows for a seamless loan process throughout the transaction, which really frees me up to be able to take the time to meet with my clients in person. I attend the majority of my closings and take pride in always being available for my clients and Realtor partners.

Sam Sharp, Jason Hasner, Tom Krakau, and Chris Lundeen are the best in the business!!! I’ve used them multiple times… They are truly 2nd to NONE. Masters of their Craft! They go the job done swiftly and efficiently, WITH NO HASSLES. They kept it all quick and easy.
When it comes to mortgages, there truly is no one else to use but them and Guaranteed Rate. In fact, using anyone else would be foolish on your part.

I used Sam Sharp years ago and recently recontacted him because I remembered what a great experience it was working with him and his team. They are extremely responsive and professional, and were also able to close a loan despite some last-​minute obstacles. I have recommended Sam to friends also who had similar great things to say. It was a good rate and a Great Team, highly recommend. Melissa D.

Working with Sam Sharp and his team was a great experience for my fiancée and I purchasing our first home together. If there was ever a question about anything they had an answer. Always answered phone calls or emails in a timely manner. They got us a great rate and really took good care of us. I’d recommend using Sam Sharp and his team to anyone.

Sam and team were able to put together a fast mortgage package for me at a very competitive rate. Without their expertise and efficiency, the great deal I was able to get would have been unattainable. I highly recommend their services.

Sam helped us throughout the first time home buying process and was a consummate professional. I was super impressed to see he remained available to help nearly a year after we closed when he assisted us in a dispute with my mortgage holder. Would highly recommend!

G-​rate made the loan very easy for us. Sam and his team are very professional and efficient.
As a first time home buyer, we asked a lot of questions during the process. Sam and his team always responded quickly and clearly. Most important, we got the best rate with their help! I will not hesitate to refer Sam to my friends and colleagues.

Proud 1st time home buyer here and all with Sam Sharp’s help! Not only did Sam get us the best possible rate verses all the competitors we tried, he also got us closed in 3 weeks. Working with Sam was like working with a family member. I was never hesitant to ask him any questions. He treated me like a friend and not a clueless 1st time buyer. If you are looking to purchase a home give Sam a try. You will not be disappointed!

My wife and I just closed on our house last week and it couldn’t have been easier working with Sam and his team! He and his team walked us through the entire process and ensured we knew what they needed, why they needed it, and gave us several different ways of getting it to them. I can’t recommend Guaranteed Rate enough!

I recently had a transaction with Sam and his team that was difficult due to several factors however, Sam communicated realistic expectations and was able to close the transaction. I definitely will be referring him business in the future.

Sam Sharp continuously exceeds our expectations, offering the absolute best customer service and guidance. My husband and I have used Sam to refinance a previous home as well as to secure financing for our current home, and we would most certainly use him again! Each time, the process was seamless and stress-​free. In particular, Sam and his team provide stellar communication, making sure to explain each step of the process, keeping us updated, and answering our questions in a timely manner. It was a pleasure working with Sam and the rest of his team and we look forward to working with him in the future!

In the home-​buying process, I’ve been surprised at how many people in this industry don’t take the time to answer my questions and aren’t interested in following up.
Sam, Jason and Thomas were very professional, took their time with me and made me feel like they were on my side. Not to mention that when I was shopping around for loans, I brought their rate to the largest bank in the US and was told flat out that it couldn’t be matched… So yes, on all counts I’d definitely use Sam and his team again!

I have been a realtor for 9 years with one of the top firms in Chicago so I’ve seen it all. Sam and his team are amazing! They saved a client of mine once when he needed a new lender a week before closing. I used them for my own home purchase and it was nothing but smooth sailing all the way. They communicate promptly and explain everything carefully to you. They are always competitive with the rates but the customer service that Sam and his team provides is unmatched. I refer him to all my clients because I have complete faith they will be more than satisfied with their performance.

Sam is a true professional and the only lender we will use moving forward. He represented us on a single family home purchase this year and made the process very easy for us. He is easy to reach and a good communicator. In addition to this last purchase, Sam helped us a few years ago by getting our building FHA approved so that our buyers could close more quickly. He has been great for us on both sides of the deal.

Sam Sharp and team are the best. I have gone through the loan process quite a few times and I can honestly say that Sam provided a smooth transition from the moment we called him for the pre-​approval letter to the end. My experience with others banks have always left me stressed out, due to all the back and forth requests of information, with Sam the information was requested once and we closed as planned. He provided me with exceptional service and a very good rate. I highly recommend Sam Sharp.
Thank you Sam!

Where do I start?! Sam Sharp is amazing. We were looking for a home for 2 years, not in a rush to find one but definitely looking out. We tried 5 mortgage officers just to get a pre-​approval. The others lacked motivation to even bother following up. Their return calls were slow and we coughed it up as a sign it was not time to buy yet. (Since we were already not in a rush to buy.) We finally found a house that we were really excited about and Sam was a heaven sent! It’s was perfect timing in all directions. Sam is swift, and timely. He wasted no time to have us a pre-​approval right away. It got our home buying process started very quickly. Sam who has an equally reliable partner, Jason Hasner, also make them a dynamic pair. Jason also followed up quickly and informed us of all we needed to do with regards to paperwork. I couldn’t be happier to have found Sam and Jason. I will definitely recommend them and hope to work with them again for other opportunities.

Guaranteed rate was a second option when i started the home search process. Howeverm when the bank i went to want an upfront assessment fee, i asked my realtor and he recommended Sam sharp. I am glad i did! He explaines to me every question and concern i asked. His team follows up on me and on what documents needed. We closed in three weeks. It was a very smooth process for a first time homebuyer like me.
On top of the best service, they have the best rate and competitive fees.
Highly recommended.

Sam was great to work with on my complicated home purchase. He was able to find a program that fit my needs and nimbly adjusted mid-​stream when the circumstances warranted. Throughout the process, he made me feel comfortable that we would be closed, on time and without surprises. This had to be the best experience I’ve had in working with a lender. Knowledge, flexibility and just a nice guy to deal with. Will definitely come back to Sam for my refi down the road!

Sam was a life saver! We are so glad that we met him when we lived in Chicago. We ended up having the house deal in Chicago fall through and a couple of years later we moved back to Boston.
My wife and I started going through the process of a home purchase again in Boston and we were working with a local bank. It was such a hard process and we remembered how much help Sam was in Chicago so we decided to give him a call. Luckily he was able to work in MA also! So we cut it off with the local bank and within about 4 weeks we closed on our home in Boston!
Now I know who to call FIRST for any of our home purchases/​financing.
Thanks, Sam!

After being in the business for over 10 years with a considerable amount of experience, initially as a mortgage originator myself, I can confidently say Sam Sharp is one of (if not the) best in the business.
He has put together one of the most efficient and knowledgeable teams I have ever seen and continues to over-​deliver for my clients. Closing with Sam is a worry-​free enjoyable experience. Exactly how it’s supposed to be!
Chicago, IL
Sam and his team were quick, detail oriented and took the time to explain everything to us. Being first time home buyers, we had lots of questions and concerns. The entire process of buying our first home was virtually flawless. We would definitely recommend him to all of our family & friends!
