Employees from Metlife Home Mortgage recently joined
Guaranteed Rate; this is what some of them had to say.
Allyson Kreycik
Senior Vice President of Mortgage Lending
2011 Funded Loan Volume: $118,425,395
Why Guaranteed Rate?
After working over a decade at large banks,
I wanted a lender that focused not only on
just the mortgage business, but also on the
service experience for the customer. I saw with
Guaranteed Rate that not only did it offer the most
aggressive platforms in the industry, but also due
to its size and leadership, it was agile. That meant
that if a program or product was missing – it got
created. From technology and systems, to interest
rates and available programs, to marketing and
sales support, Guaranteed Rate was the best fit for
my career and for my customers’ home financing
needs. When I entered this business, it was because
I loved finance and wanted a job where I could
help people with theirs. I am excited to work for
a company that shares the same goals.
Bard Conn
Regional Manager
Former District Manager at
MetLife Home Mortgage
Why Guaranteed Rate?
Having worked for some of the largest
brands in the mortgage industry over the
past 25 years, I decided that I wanted a
lender dedicated to the products that I sold.
I felt it was key to find a mortgage banker
that was solely focused on mortgages and
placed emphasis on consistent product
innovation, competitive pricing and complete
dedication to the customer and referral
source experience. Mainly, I wanted to work
with good people who shared my core values.
I was lucky enough to find that company
and those people at Guaranteed Rate.
Joe Smith
Senior Vice President of Mortgage Lending
2011 Funded Loan Volume: $121,511,948
Why Guaranteed Rate?
The drive, leadership and energy of the management
team and the support teams are inspirational.
The operations staff has a singular focus: manufacturing high-quality loans at a high volume with
outstanding customer service.
The processing flow implemented at Guaranteed
Rate removes the requirements so many lenders
place on originators to collect docs and conditions
before they can submit a file. This process frees up
originators to do what they do best, “Produce more
loans.” It is a simple, highest and best use philosophy
that is their blueprint for success.
The origination platform is unparalleled. The pricing
model takes your loan parameters, cross references
lender guidelines and provides you with an investor
ranking that enables you to provide the lowest
rate available to your borrower based on their
qualifications.
