Sammy Iliopoulos - Senior Vice President

We had a very smooth closing process. Sammy and his team were on top of the paperwork needed promptly at each step in the process, and were always easy to reach by phone and email. I had shopped around at several other lenders, and the 30-year fixed rate that Sammy was able to lock in was a dead tie with the other lowest offer I found, and a full 0.5% APY lower than two other banks were offering. I am very happy that we went with Rate.

Sammy is an incredibly knowledgeable mortgage broker who truly masters the art of communication. He strikes the perfect balance, keeping us fully informed without ever overwhelming us. He is easily one of the most responsive professionals we have ever worked with, making us feel welcome to ask questions whenever we needed clarity. We learned a great deal from his expertise and felt he was genuinely acting in our best interest throughout the entire process. We never felt pressured to make decisions before we were ready. Additionally, his team was outstanding! They worked quickly to process paperwork and proactively kept us on track with projected timelines. I highly recommend Sammy and his team!

Sammy at Guaranteed Rate was absolutely excellent. The entire process was incredibly smooth and fast, and we ended up saving a ton of money. Not having to go through an appraisal made everything even easier and removed so much stress. Sammy was responsive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel effortless from start to finish. Hands down one of the best lending experiences I’ve had — I couldn’t recommend Guaranteed Rate or Sammy more highly. If you want a quick, seamless process with real savings, this is the team to work with.

I had an outstanding experience working with Sammy to refinance my mortgage. From start to finish, Sammy was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly responsive. Every step of the process was explained clearly, and I always felt confident that I was in good hands. He found the best possible rate for my situation and made what could have been a stressful process feel simple and seamless. Sammy’s professionalism and genuine care for his clients truly stood out. I highly recommend Sammy Iliopoulos to anyone considering refinancing or purchasing a home—you won’t find anyone better to guide you through it!

I cannot recommend Sammy enough. I've worked with him on two separate mortgages and he's been prompt, thorough, and an absolute pleasure to work with through the whole process. He was already fantastic to work with on my first mortgage, but he went above and beyond when we decided to move. He helped us close in 23 (!!) days, which was the deciding factor in us being the winning bid on our current home, despite not being the highest offer, monetarily. If you have the chance to work with Sammy, go for it. You won't regret it.
