Sammy Iliopoulos – Guaranteed Rate

Prior to closing my refi, I had contacted Sammy over the past two years and he gave me honest, real advice to make smart decisions on refinancing. When I then needed to refinance, the process was so simple and straightforward, that I had very few questions for Sammy. If I did have a question, Sammy was very responsive, whether it was email or phone and always kept the same cheerful disposition. An absolute pleasure to work with — I would highly recommend Sammy and Guaranteed Rate!

Sammy was so amazing helping me and my husband purchase our first home. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable, but his attitude and willingness to help really made the experience enjoyable.
Sammy was always reachable when we had questions, answering phone calls, texts, emails, etc quickly, clearly, and gladly! He was never bothered or annoyed by the sheer number of questions we had as first time buyers.
Aside from his obvious experience and expertise in the area, he’s just a really great guy. I always felt comfortable talking to him, and remain friends with him to this day, long after our financing was complete and home bought.
I would recommend Sammy to anyone thinking of buying a house!

We recently closed on our first home and we could not have done it without Sammy’s help and guidance. He was incredibly helpful throughout the process, answered all of questions (always got back to us within an hour or two), and made the entire experience seamless. We would not use anybody else, ever!

We recently closed on our first home using Sammy to secure financing. We had a complicated application, and were grateful for Sammy’s help and responsiveness throughout the process. Despite the odds, we managed to close on time. Would definitely recommend Sammy/​Guaranteed rate!

Sammy was recommended to us by a friend and I am so glad he was! He was with us from the start of our house hunting. He was always there and got back to us right away if we needed a pre approval when we put in offers (even on his birthday!). We put multiple offers on different houses and probably would have drove anyone crazy but not Sammy! He was so patient throughout the whole process and made us feel so comfortable. My husband lives in another state due to the navy and he was so accommodating with the time differences and all the emails back and forth. We finally found our dream home and Sammy made the experience so easy! He was very organized and had it all sorted out. When we finally met him, he was so easy to talk to and so likable. We not only found our house but we found a friend too! We will recommend Sammy to all our friends and family! Thank you!

I will only use Sammy for my property purchases. He is the best. He navigated the process for us smoothly, and explained everything every step of the way. I honestly would not use anyone else. He is super easy to work with and my fiancé and I absolutely love him. Thank you Sammy!

I worked with Sammy on the purchase of my first home and he and his team went above and beyond to answer all my questions and do everything possible to expedite my process. They kept me up to date on the process and managed my incessant communication (I was a new buyer) with phenomenal patience.

My wife and I just finished purchasing our first home. If you are just beginning this process I am sure you are feeling a little lost. Basically there are two parts: finding the home and securing the financing you need to buy it.
I always assumed that going directly to the bank would be the best and safest way to get the least expensive rates. Actually after doing some research, I found out that mortgage brokers because of the way the system is set up have access to rates lower than many banks.
Hearing stories of people who had bad experiences with mortgage brokers I was leery about contacting one and didn’t know where to start. A friend suggested that I call Sammy so I did. He picked up the phone right away and answered my preliminary questions. That afternoon my wife and I met with him and in about 30 min, he broke down the whole process explained it to us simply and in a way we could understand. We left knowing exactly what we could afford with a pre-​approval in hand and ready to house hunt.
During our search I had frequent questions and Sammy was always accessible; either answering my questions on the spot or calling right back with the answers we needed.
After we made our offer and were ready to secure the loan the process was simple. Even though he was working with many people he always seemed to have our loan in mind, calling to check in to see if we had questions, update us on the loan progress and help make sure any needed documents were in order, confirming and letting us know when things were set. Everyone on his team at Guaranteed Rate was top notch, thorough and professional.
We really felt like Sammy was in our corner every step of the process. If you are ready to buy a home, don’t look any further and call him today. Not only was he a pleasure to work with, he will save you time, money and make what is a stressful process for many a smooth and pleasurable one.
The next time we are in the market, Sammy will be my FIRST call.

I have worked with Sammy and team numerous times over the years and each time I have been pleased with the level of service and the very competive package offered.
I have and continue to highly recommend to family and friends.

We worked with Sammy on multiple occasions now and always had excellent experience. Last mortgage we worked on we needed to close in a very short period of time. Sammy and his team made sure we were right on time and had a very quick turn around time. I would highly recommend Sammy and Guaranteed Rate as a mortgage broker.

Sammy was such a pleasure to work with and I can’t say enough good things about him & his team! He helped my fiancé and I purchase our home in December 2013 and made the whole process of applying for a new mortgage easy and stress free. Sammy is extremely knowledgeable and helped us decide on a loan that would suit our needs. He and his team are very organized and quick to respond to emails and calls. We had SUCH a great experience working with Sammy and Guaranteed Rate and will be using them again in the future. Both my brother and my cousin have used Sammy when they purchased their homes as well, which speaks to how great we think he is to work with.

Sammy was a GREAT help with my re-​finance and it couldn’t have been easier from start to finish. Even answering my calls in the evening and on weekends. There is no one more knowlegable or helpful or better than Sammy and I have recommended him to many and will use him again… Sammy is now my «go to guy» when it comes to financing!
Thank you Sammy!!!

Can’t say anything but good things about Sammy. I recently purchased my first condo and Sammy and his team delivered. He was knowledgable on the product offerings and guided me to the perfect loan for needs.
He was prompt on following up on things and even helped see my loan through completion while he was overseas on vacation.
I would highly recommend Sammy and often drop his name when talking to friends interested in real estate.
Thanks again Sammy & team for all the hard work!

Sammy is fantastic! We used Sammy and his team to upgrade from a condo to a single family home, which was a little nerve wracking because it obviously meant our mortgage was going to get bigger. Sammy helped us figure out exactly how much home we could afford and gave me all the information about what the terms and payments would be so that I could do all my budgeting early on and focus our search in the right price range. My first mortgage company made it seem like they were doing me a favor giving me the loan, and even though this was a bigger loan, Sammy was nothing but happy to help us get into the perfect home. The application process was a breeze and we closed the loan in a very short period of time. We went from offer to close in a little over a month and everyone at Guaranteed Rate was a pleasure to work with, starting with Sammy.
