Our loan was very complex with self employment income, gifts from family, and various debts that needed to be excluded for the price point we were seeking. Corey and his team were miracle workers, and went above and beyond to make it happen (at all hours of the day and night). They are responsive, knowledgeable, creative, direct, transparent, and quick! I would (and will) recommend this team - they are the best, without question. ... Read More

I would definitely recommend Preferred Rate as the lender for your home purchase. What made the big difference is their service and response.
