Matthew Roder – Guaranteed Rate

Matt and his team provided my wife and I with phenomenal service from start to finish. This was our first time buying a home, and they made navigating the mortgage process easy to understand, accessible and user-​friendly. Any question we had throughout the process was responded to promptly and attentively by Matt and his entire team. We were somewhat nervous going with Guaranteed Rate initially because we were buying a home two time zones away in Oregon… we worried that the time difference could be an issue. Nah — not in the least. I can think of at least one occasion where I e-​mailed Matt a question at around 7:30P our time (so 9:30P CST) not expecting a response until the next day, as it was nothing urgent. Without exaggeration, Matt replied less than 2 minutes later. Highly, highly recommend these folks to anyone!

Very easy group to work with. I normally have a lot of questions to ensure I understand everything and they accommodate that. This is the second time I’ve worked with them and definitely would again. Thank you!

Great and easy to work with. We’ve been with Guaranteed Rate for several years and just refinanced. They handle as much as possible to make it easier for you. Thanks guys!

I recently purchased my first home and worked with Matt and his team. They made it as easy and low-​stress as possible. I had no problems reaching them at any point. They always responded to my emails in a timely manner. Matt was honest throughout the process and I truly felt he advocated for me and my best interests. I strongly recommend Matt Roder and his team if you are considering seeking out a loan for a home!

Matt and his team were so helpful and amazing. I was referred by my realtor, and after shopping around a bit, Matt was able to provide the best deal on our home loan. His team was incredibly supportive and willing to educate a first time homebuyer. A few weeks ago, I got a call from Matt. Rates had dropped, and he moved me through the refi process painlessly. Now my payment is even lower, and I couldn’t be happier.

Matt, Jen, and the rest of the Guaranteed Rate team did a great job making our recent refinance extremely easy. I had a TON of questions and they helped me figure out the best options for me and my wife. Thanks for your help!

I’ve been working with Matt for over 2 years. He is the ideal mortgage broker! He answers questions clearly and concisely in a timely manner. If you’re looking to work with someone who will get the job done without confusion or stress, Matt is your guy!

My fiancé and I originally went with Chase, but did not like the experience. we met with them once and they were not informative or personable. They just wanted to business and did not seem like they wanted to help us.
My fiancé and I were referred to Matt Roder at Guaranteed Rate by our awesome Realtor, Israel B. From the first point of communication with Matt it was a great experience. I had introduced myself via email. He responded right away and informed me he was at a Continuing Education conference/​meeting all day. So I did not expect him to respond to any of my questions that day. However, it was the exact opposite. I’m not sure if it was during his breaks at the conference/​meeting, but he was responding quickly to my questions that day. I am very BIG on Customer Service and truly appreciate companies that provide that. Matt was already showing me that he would go the extra mile for us and help us every step of the way whenever he could.
This is first house that my fiancé and I were purchasing. Therefore, we were not familiar at all with this process. Matt and his team were GREAT in helping us with the process. Matt was patient with me and walked me through the mortgage process every step of the way. The process was smooth and thoroughly explained to us.
I would highly recommend going with Guaranteed Rate and working with Matt and his team. They’ll help you get a house! We closed last Thursday and it all went smoothly. Thanks!

I found Matt through looking at this Unilocal profile so wanted to add to the reviews. This guy is the real deal. Straight talking and does his business efficiently and without being pushy. We got the best rate from him (we did price around) and could not have been happier with the service. He always updates you on the progress and is open and transparent when you have questions. You could not believe how little stress there was in getting this done. All in all this was a fantastic experience from start to finish and we cannot recommend him highly enough.
We closed yesterday and now have our new home thanks to Matt and all in the office! Thank you.

I was referred to Jen and the team at Guaranteed Rate by my broker this past spring. A friend of mine who had also worked with GR had great things to say about the team, so I figured it would be a safe bet… and it was!
At first, I was completely unfamiliar with the home purchasing process and completely mystified by the loan/​financing aspect. From inception, Jen and Matt were both extremely informative, responsive and patient with me, not to mention, AVAILABLE as they navigated me through paperwork, explained my options to me (over and over) and kept me on track.
I had a pretty expedited (self-​inflicted) timeline that I wanted to close within and yet, they were always one step ahead of me — meeting each and every deadline with ease. All the while, they kept me calm and made the process truly «stress free».
THANKS MATT & JEN! I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone to hold their hand through the process!

I’m now a first home home owner. I came to Matt via personal recommendation and I could not have asked for better loan officer! Always available, gave me all the information I needed, walked me through things I was not familiar with. With Matt I knew exactly what my options were with different types properties I considered. Once I found my current condo, when securing the loan I knew where things were every step of the way, and who at Guaranteed Rate worked on what. Documents were easy to sign even over phone while traveling. I was never made to feel lesser just because I was buying a modest first condo. My Remax agent was so thoroughly impressed by Matt’s professionalism she is now recommending Matt to her clients too. I’ll be a repeat customer if need ever arises.

We recently purchased our first home with the help of Matt and his team at Guaranteed Rate. Everything went very smoothly, they met our closing deadline with no problem and everyone was extremely helpful, professional and knowledgeable. As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions along the way and Matt made himself available anytime to help us through each step. We would highly recommend Matt and Guaranteed Rate to any friends looking to purchase a new home!

All I can say is FANTASTIC! We have re\financed a handful of times over the years, and this was absolutely the most smooth and stress-​free experience EVER! Even with a minor hiccup with our paperwork with our current bank/​mortgage lender, Matthew and his team instructed me on what to request, and without a hitch, it was taken care of in less than a day! We highly recommend Guarantee Rate /​Matthew Roder!!!

IMPRESSIVE! I’ve referred Guaranteed Rate /​Matthew Roder to a few people already including a Real Estate broker. I truly appreciate his patience, personality, thoroughness and professionalism (all those attributes are not common to find when going through this process — I’ve learned this from experience). This time around, unlike my previous, was seamlessly smooth and not painful at all. and I was going the VA Loan route. Matt really does know his stuff, it comes across in every form of communication with him and his team!

Matt did a great job. He was very responsive and followed up frequently to keep things on track.
We used Matt to refinance our house and he worked in our behalf to get a great rate.
I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy or refinance their home.

Being a licensed local real estate broker what I like most about Matt is that he is thorough and consistent. Lenders are notorious for making empty promises and then letting people down as the transaction progresses. He is great with communication and works with a great team.

We were referred to Matthew Roder when looking to buy a house. After wasting our time with Chase, we couldn’t believe how he made the process so easy and stress free. Not only he kept his promises but he kept us informed during the whole process and we were able to close early.
can’t ask for more!

Mr. Roder was very helpful in making my home purchasing experience smooth and stress free. Being that me and wife were first time home buyers he took us step by step in every aspect there was to making the purchase. I have and will continue to refer my friends to Mr. Roder when it comes to making a home purchase. Also if your lucky as we were he might even take you out to lunch after closing !
