My Wife and I could not recommend Rich and his team more highly! As first time home-buyers, there was a lot about the home buying process that we didn't know. Rich and his team went above and beyond to educate us on how the process works, every step of the way. Rich and his team are professional, courteous and responsive and they make themselves available 24/7, 7 days a week for their clients. Rich is clearly very well-respected within the Realtor community in the Chicagoland area, and during the home buying process Rich is able to leverage these relationships to distinguish his clients from their competitors and put his clients in the best position to win in competitive markets.If you are looking to buy in the Chicagoland area I would highly recommend working with Rich and his team!

After choosing our dream home, working with Rich was the next best decision we made in the home buying process. As first time buyers, we were overwhelmed, but Rich guided us through every step with patience and clarity. He took the time to make sure we felt confident. Beyond his expertise, Rich is simply a great person who truly cares and wants the best for his clients. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner and now friend!

Rich is such a knowledgeable lender and made us feel like we were his most important clients. In addition, he is very personable and always had us laughing during a time that can be very stressful. He always made sure that we understood everything we were signing, as well. We highly recommend Rich as a lender!

Best of the best. Extremely responsive, transparent, and easy to work with. When buying a house there are a lot of moving parts and Rich takes one off your plate.

Rich was wonderful to work with, his advise helped us get a great rate in this economy. He kept us informed all through the process and was available for questions whenever we had them. I would highly recommend him, especially if you are a new home buyer trying to get financing.

Richard and his team took care of us from start to finish. At every point in our journey they handled their business and got things done. They’re currently helping my in laws and I know my family is in good hands.

Rich made the whole buying process so smooth and gave great advice in regards to the whole process. We have our dream home because of him. Very good at communicating and responds very fast.

Rich was FANTASTIC to work with as a first time home buyer! I can't recommend him enough to anyone who is going through the process for the first time. He was honest and clear with all his communication to my wife and I. We can't thank him enough for his help and look forward to working with him again on our next home financing experience!

First time home buyer, and Rich had a level of expertise and a drive to help me through the entire process that was unmatched. From his monitoring and securing the best interest rate, to outlining the steps throughout the home buying process, to education, I would recommend Rich and his team to anyone anytime.

Rich was amazing to work with, especially being first time home buyers. He took the time to explain everything step by step to us at every step of the process. He sent us monthly payment scenarios on all the houses we toured so we could get an understanding of what our payments would look like. He also answered all of our questions in such a timely matter! Would highly recommend Rich to anyone who’s looking.

If you're looking for the not only the best lender out there but more so someone who will advise / consult you through the entire process, stop your search and go with Rich and his team. Simply put: they are the A-Team when it comes to mortgage lending. You'll thank yourself later that you chose to go with this team.

I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Rich went the extra mile for us, and I can't recommend him enough. He was a total professional and a pleasant, friendly person to work with from start to finish.

Rich was incredibly helpful and always great with following up, it was great working with him on the home buying process.

Very quick to reply with updates and all the document status as the process went on .From start to finish Richard was there to answer questions or concerns. Highly recommend Preferred Rate.

Richard and his team were great! We were able to get the mortgage approved and funds in 3-4 weeks. Definitely would work with them again.

Rich and his team were great to work with while we quickly moved on a second home.He helped navigate us through the process with no surprises and great correspondence throughout.His background in real estate, familiarity with the area, IL vs WI legal nuances, experience with secondary home buyers made him a great match for us.Would highly recommend him and hope to work with Rich/Team again!

Rich and his team are second to none. We had a tight window to close on a housing opportunity and they turned it around with no concerns. He was highly communicative and even offered consultative services to get the best rate possible! I would highly recommend him and his team for your lending needs.

He even went above and beyond with coordination of the other parties involved. We would highly recommend Rich and his team!!

Here's what you need to know about Rich: when my wife and I (first-time homebuyers) were reviewing numbers late at night and thought we would be paying much more in closing costs than we initially thought, Rich responded to our email within minutes to explain and clarify what we would actually be paying, saying, "I didn't want you to go to bed thinking you were paying that much in closing costs." It was exactly what we needed to hear in that moment and perfectly exemplifies Rich's very human approach to this process. He was always willing to hop on the phone, answer questions and explain, all of which was crucial for our first homebuying experience.

I have worked with Rich on two deals now and he is great to work with. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to buy a home or refinance.

We were extremely pleased with Richard (Honquest) and his team at Preferred Rate in both Oak Brook Terrace. IL (and Lake Geneva). He was extremely knowledgeable about home mortgages and the market in the Lake Geneva and helped us avoid some pitfalls that other agents would not have been aware of. He kept us continuously up to date on and walked us carefully (handholding) though a relatively difficult and hurried purchase that turned out great due to Rich's diligence and hard work (also by his team who seemed to be working around the clock for us). At the end the mortgage and purchase came off without a glitch. We are very appreciative and indebted to Rich and his team. Cannot recommend them any more highly.

I had a fantastic experience working with Rich and his team. The entire process was smooth, transparent, and efficient. They were incredibly responsive, answered all my questions, and truly made me feel confident every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in this journey. Highly recommend their services!

Rich and his team were beyond amazing. They were always willing to answer all of our questions as new homebuyers and were extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the home buying process. They are a very responsive, communicative, patient, and understanding team. Even after the purchase of our home, Rich continues to make himself available for us to reach out with questions. He always helped us feel reassured in a challenging housing market. We are so appreciative of Rich and his team and cannot recommend them highly enough!

Rich was so helpful with our first time home buying process. He walked us through everything, checked in with us regularly and never made you feel like any question was a stupid one. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Rich and his team were a breeze to work with! Communication was consistent and clear, we felt supported every step of the way. They made the mortgage process easy to understand and closing was seamless.

Rich was an invaluable resource from very early on. He went out of his way to make our home purchase as easy and painless as possible, while also making sure we understood and were comfortable with the entire process. I highly recommend Rich to anyone purchasing a home.

Rich and his entire team were excellent throughout the entire process. Incredibly hard working and we essentially had access to them 24/7 if we needed anything. Highly recommend!

Rich and his team worked very hard to make sure that everything went smoothly. They were very good at letting me know what was complete, in process, and what to expect next. Rich was always willing to follow up with a phone call if I had questions. Our closing was on time and problem free.

First time homebuyer - Rich met me where I was in terms of my understanding of mortgages and strategies for getting me the best loan at the best price and the nuances associated with each. He was incredibly diligent in follow up in where we were in the lending process and more responsive to my texts/emails than anyone I know. I know that I will be going to Rich for future home loans, refinancing or otherwise.

I couldn't have asked for a better partner in completing my first time home purchase. Rich was excellent in explaining everything in our initial calls, getting numbers requests for properties we liked, and answering questions we had along the way. Once we went under contract, he was all over the process and kept us in informed about where we stood. He was creative in "chasing down" our loan rate before close as rates dipped after we locked - something that I know is difficult for him but ultimately better for us.Rich is the kind of person to answer the phone on the first ring at 5:00am or 11:00pm and get an answer in our inbox in minutes. In a world full of people who claim to be experts in their fields, it is refreshing to see and work with one like him. I would recommend Rich to anyone.

We’ve worked with Rich on both of our home purchases. The first time was 4 years ago when we purchased our first condo and again this spring when we moved. Rich went above and beyond to make sure that a very complex transaction went smoothly. We cannot recommend working with him enough—he always goes the extra mile for his clients!

Rich and team are the best and make the process easy as can be, highly recommend. Thank you

Rich and his team were thorough and helpful. I'm so grateful.

My real estate broker recommended Rich as I was searching for a new condo after a divorce. At a tough time of my life, Rich was so supportive. He spent a lot of individual time on the phone with me and my parents, walking us through the process, alleviating my fears, and making recommendations. No question was too silly or small for him, and where other, bigger lenders wouldn't pick up the phone until I filled out an application, Rich really dedicated his time to building a relationship.Rich is really a hands on kind of person, and I can't recommend him enough.

Rich and team were amazing to work with! He was always readily available for us and so helpful. Rich made the process as stress free as possible. We felt totally confident he could get the job done.

Rich and the team were wonderful to work with. We were under a quick turnaround time and they made it a really smooth process. I would highly recommend working with them and would look forward to getting the opportunity to work with them again!

Working with Rich was fantastic. He was on top of everything and kept the loan application, approval, and funding process moving. Rich provides valuable insight so you can make the right choices when applying for your mortgage. I will definitely work with Rich on my next real estate purchase.

Rich was so informative and caring throughout the entire home buying process. He makes you a priority and helps to quickly answer questions in a thoughtful way. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Very smooth underwriting and closing-communication was great

Rich was an essential part of my first-time homeowner buying experience. From start to finish, he ensured that I was informed about every detail of the process through clear communication and consistent updates which I greatly appreciated. We were under a tight timeline of closing within a one month span, and it wouldn't have been possible without the Rich's expertise. Thank you to Rich and team for making my first buyer experience a great one!

Rich was great to work with. He was very knowledgeable and made the buying process easy!

Rich was great to work with. Upbeat and positive through the entire process. Definitely would recommend!

Rich Honquest and his team at Preferred Rate were absolutely wonderful to work with. We reached out several months before we started looking at homes to get pre-approved. Rich walked us through the process and was available for questions but did not hound us or harass us at all. Rich and his were quick to respond, transparent, friendly and professional. My husband and I are first time home buyers and knew very little about the process going in. Rich was patient and knowledgeable in explaining the process and answering all of our questions clearly and concisely. He went above and beyond exploring different loan options with us to get the best rate and even called the sellar's realtor to help us secure our home. His guidance helped us feel secure and confident. He also worked well with our realtor, insurance agent and lawyer. Rich and team made this process as painless as possible and I would recommend him to any homebuyer in the Chicago area.

Rich and his team have been absolutely wonderful through all stages of the home buying process. My husband and I are first-time homebuyers who knew very little about the process. Rich provided clear and concise explanations and answered all our questions. We applied for pre-approval months before we started looking and Rich was always available but did not hound us. Rich went above and beyond exploring different loan options to get us the best rate and even called the seller's realtor to help us secure the contract. Rich and his team were very quick, professional and communicative throughout the process and made it as seamless as possible. I would recommend Rich to anyone in the Chicago area. He's the BEST.

Rich was so very helpful throughout our entire loan process. We had to pull out of our first house and start a second loan process. He was with us every step of the way explaining everything in full detail. We put out trust in Rich and he delivered! I would got to him 10/10 times.

Rich and his team exceeded my expectations in every manner possible. Their expertise, customer service, and problem solving ability made my home buying experience a breeze during a period of rate instability.Bottom line, if you work with Rich, you work with the best!

Rich was absolutely awesome to work with! He was on top of our loan from our first conversation to our closing. He really worked all angles to make sure that we got the best rate possible in this difficult market.

Rich Honquest is an incredible lender!! Every question I had was answered, and he is so incredibly knowledgeable about the industry. I felt supported every step of the process. Rich and his team are just the best! I will never go to anyone else for a loan again :)

Rich and his team could not have been more helpful and knowledgeable throughout the home buying process. He made himself available 24/7 and could always provide us with the answers we needed. Would recommend using Rich and his team every single time you can.

I can't even begin to express the amazing experience I had with Richard! I switched finance companies 3 months into trying to find a home after switching realtors. I dreaded it because of the awful stressful experience with the first company. Rich made it so simple! He was so friendly and nice! He never hesitated to answer any questions I had. He soothed any of the anxiety I had with buying a home and all the stressful stuff that went with it! Trust me I was stressed! His team worked so well together and never acted bothered by me. When it came time to bid on a house I truly believe he was the reason I am living in my first home! His experience as a realtor definitely benefited me! He even gave me a connection to a great insurance agent!I truly can't express my gratitude for having the luck to work with Rich! I definitely would recommend him and his company!

Rich was very attentive to our needs and helpful throughout the process, even with the crazy market. He was readily available 24/7 to answer all our questions and expertise in an ever changing marketplace!

The best! As a first time home buyer, Richard walked me through everything. He and his team were top notch. I highly recommend Richard.

I've used Rich for three separate mortgage needs, and each time he's made the process incredibly easy. So much goes into the mortgage process, but Rich explains everything clearly and works extremely hard to make sure he's taking as much off my plate and getting us the best deal. I've referred him to everyone I know going through the process of purchasing a home, and I can't recommend him and his team enough!

Recently sold home after 20 years--forgot how stressful purchasing a home can be, not to mention obtaining a mortgage again. Rich was extremely patient with me, provided many different scenarios on multiple home options & most importantly, really wanted me to get the right home! Can't thank Rich enough for all his assistance--felt like we became friends through the process.

Unbelievable service and responsiveness!

Rich is very knowledgeable in the real-estate field, his prior experiences as a realtor makes him as credible as they come. He is very approachable at any point, weather its in the morning or at night when you are off the clock. Rich is not only a great rep, but is willing to shop around for the best interest rates and will provide break downs of all types of mortgages that are offered on any property that you visit. His knowledge of the market was a crucial part of my experience. If you are looking for someone who is on top of things with great experience and is enjoyable to talk to Rich is your guy! Would highly recommend his services weather your a first time home buyer or person that has a portfolio of properties! Very smooth to work with!

Rich and his team was great. Very professional, thorough, helpful.and knowledgeable! Would highly recommend him.

Rich was an absolute pleasure to work with regarding my re-finance! It was a tricky situation due to a divorce & corresponding requirements, but Rich was able to navigate easily and provided guidance throughout the process. Excellent communication and I felt as if I was Rich's only client. I will continue to work with Rich on all future loans without hesitation.

Rich Honquest was great throughout our entire mortgage journey. He was quick to respond to any questions that we had along the way. Highly recommend!

Rich was extremely helpful through the whole process. He kept a close eye on the mortgage rates after having the 40 day (?) locked in rate. Five days before closing, he went through the extra effort of rerunning all the numbers and submitting it just to save me an extra $20/mo because the rates dropped. Most people would say it’s not worth the time but when buying a house, every dollar counts. He even saved my butt after I opened a new credit card after my offer was accepted. While I was thinking I was gonna lose the house, Rich kept a level head, assured me he would take care of it, and DID. Rich deserves all five stars, no doubt.

Rich was great! As first time home buyers, he was extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and responsive throughout the whole process. He gave us a lot of confidence going into the home buying process.

Very attentive & personalized approach. Great service & experience. Highly recommend.

We feel very fortunate that Richard was part of our home-buying team! He did a great job explaining complex financial concepts in layman’s terms and made the home buying process much easier to understand. Richard never hesitated to pick up the phone and reach out offering guidance and valuable advice anytime my husband or I had a question about mortgage rates, how to increase our credit scores, etc. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable and personable to handle all of your mortgage needs, we highly recommend contacting Rich!

Rich was super helpful from start to finish - and was a dream to work with in general. He was quick to respond and very patient in explaining everything which made the homebuying process easier overall coming from out of state. We feel very lucky to have found someone so spectacular to work with!

Rich was a referral from an awesome real estate agent (Shanley Henry). As we purchased from out of state, he walked us through the entire process very thoroughly and helped me understand all of the nuances of borrowing in Illinois. He was really fast, truthful, gave great advise and is an all around pleasant person to work with. Thank you Rich!

Working with Rich exceeded my expectations. He is extremely responsive, timely and an expert in his field. Highly recommend!

Rich and his team made being a first time homebuyer a breeze. I would highly recommend to anyone.

We would highly recommend using Rich, as he will be the first person we would think of when friends and family need a referral. We will absolutely be reaching out again when the need arises in the future. Thank you, Rich!

It had been 15 years since we first purchased a home. Rich did a great job of giving us a refresher on the process and guiding us all the way through. Rich and his team were all personable and were easy to work with... which comes as a relief as purchasing of new construction was stressful. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a lender.

Rich was super knowledgeable about the whole mortgage process and presented information to us in a way that we could easily understand. He made the whole process effortless and did whatever he needed to do to get us to the finish line!

I highly recommend Richard and his team for any of your mortgage needs.

The professionalism from Richard and his team was second to none, and made a very difficult time for myself, far less stressful.I am very pleased with the end result.....and will be reaching out to Richard and his team for any future mortgage needs!

This is our second time using Rich and his team in our home search, and by this time, I have come to view him as trusted advisor for our family. He is an absolute pleasure to work with, and he and his team kept things moving quickly and seamlessly at all times. I'm so grateful to have him in our corner while navigating big and difficult decisions, and I would recommend him to anyone else in a heartbeat. A big thank you to Rich and his team!

Rich and his team helped me with my mortgage back in 2024 and made my refinancing experience this past month equally seamless. Rich and his team were extremely knowledgeable and professional, had prompt communication, and were always willing to walkthrough step-by-step when I had questions. If you are looking for a mortgage team that will make your process easy and catered to you, you are in the right hands with Rich and his team.

Richard does a great job. He's always there for us, responded promptly when we tried to contact him. He is very knowledgeable about the mortgage industry, helped us make our original mortgage happen and now guided us through a re-fi. Little tricks like taking control of our insurance/tax escrow so we could earn interest for ourselves rather than the mortgage company. Very knowledgeable, clever and attentive.

Rich and team are incredible. As a first time home buyer I can’t recommend them enough. They took the time to walk us through everything we’d need to do and were very responsive and helpful every time we had questions. Go with Rich. You won’t regret it!

This is my second time working with Rich and he has made sure I will be doing all my closings with him in the future. He is available, attentive, and able to handle any questions you may have. I have recommended him to others in the past and will continue to do so.

Rich is hands down the BEST person you can go to for not only your loan needs but literally anything and everything you need throughout the whole home buying process. We have now bought 2 homes with Rich and each time there has been some problem in the buying process and that’s when Rich would go above and beyond contacting whoever he needs to, to solve the problem and ensure the house buying process moves forward. Again Rich is #1

Service was excellent and fast!

Me and my husband used Rich to buy our first home and he was SO incredibly helpful. He walked us through the home buying process step by step and was always willing to go above and beyond. Will be using him for any future home needs, thank you Rich and team!

This was our third home we purchased with Rich and we will never use anyone else. Rich and his team walk us thoroughly through every step of the home buying process to ensure it goes smoothly and we have no questions that go unanswered. Rich treats us like family and we’re so grateful he makes this process so easy for us time and time again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Experience for First-Time Homebuyers! As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I were incredibly anxious about navigating the market, but Rich Honquest and the team at Honquest Mortgage made the entire process seamless. There are three major reasons why I highly recommend them: Outstanding Realtor Collaboration: In an incredibly competitive market, Rich worked hand-in-hand with our realtor to ensure we had a highly competitive, rock-solid offer on paper. This seamless integration was the exact edge we needed to win the home we desired. Empathetic Education: He took the time to break down complex financial terms and walked us step-by-step through the process, making us feel confident and educated rather than overwhelmed. Agile Rate Management: In a highly volatile macro environment where interest rates were changing rapidly by the hour, Rich watched the market like a hawk to secure the absolute best possible rates for us. If you want a lender who is proactive, highly communicative, and truly has your back, look no further than Rich Honquest!
