From beginning to end and even after the experience was amazing. Peter took the time to meet in person with us and explain the process as well as other details regarding refinancing for the future. We appreciated every call and text as they were always informative and plan to use his services again! ... Read More

Nicholas Smith (

First off, let me start with I am a veteran and currently employed for the Department of Veterans Affairs. One of my biggest pet peeves in life is a lack of communication. What a breath of fresh air it has been working with Peter and his crew. Constant communication to keep us up to date and our minds at the ease. Monitoring of interest rates to help us. Instant response when we would call, text or email. We will not work with anyone else in the future. We do not have accounting or finance backgrounds. We had tons of questions and Peter and his crew never made us feel like we were less educated. He was happy to answer everything and educated us on what we didn’t know. If you are looking to move forward with purchasing a house, I can’t recommend this team enough. ... Read More

As a second time homebuyer after 13 years, I still had lots of questions and anxiety about making a house purchase. Pete was very patient and was available to answer all of my questions as we worked through the process. I would highly recommend working with Pete and his team at Preferred Rate. ... Read More

When it comes to honest business, Peter is the guy to work with. Oftentimes, we need someone that we can trust and who's word is GUARANTEED! I recommend anyone that need a home loan to call this guy and listen to his sound advice.

Incredibly professional organization from top to bottom. They reviewed all of our options and put us into the best product for our family. I would recommend them to anyone looking to purchase or refinance a home.
