Greatly appreciated my experience with the team at Preferred Rate Mortgage these past few weeks while closing on my new home. Very organized, proficient and timely services. Michael K was able to make me aware of an opportunity to further improve my mortgage package and cost to close which I was not previously aware of. Substantially improved my closing financials and 30 year rate. The team was instrumental in pulling off a very quick closing schedule! Thank you much! ... Read More
