From start to finish, this was one of the best working relationships I've ever had. Every one that I encountered was friendly and prompt to respond. Skip went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable, informed and he really treated me like family. This is typically an overwhelming process but with Skip and his team, I felt like this was a walk in the park. The closing process was an enjoyable experience as well. I felt very informed every step of the way. I can tell great care was taken to make sure I understood what each document was and why it was important. The presentation of the documents was a very nice touch as well. I'm beyond impressed with every email, every phone call, every interaction that I've had with everyone during the whole process. I've been raving to everyone who will listen about this team.

Very responsive and communicative! During these unprecedented times, buying a home is daunting to say the least. Guaranteed Rate Affinity kept us in the loop every step of the way. Very responsive and communicative! Skip Yanick, the VP of Mortgage Lending, was so professional and a pleasure to work with! It is clear he knows what he is doing and loves his profession! I am beyond grateful that we had Skip on our side throughout this process. I've heard so many stories how unnerving and overwhelming their loan process was...not mine! It seemed like I spoke with Skip on the phone, and he took it from there. I submitted my required documents then sat back and he did the rest. THIS is how a loan transaction should be. I HIGHLY recommend Skip and his Guaranteed Rate Affinity team!!
