Chris Chambers at Guaranteed Rate (NMLS #224552) N Ravenswood Ave, Chicago

We have purchased four homes in the past 26 years. In all our dealings with mortgage lenders, Chris stands head and shoulders above all the others. He provided continuous guidance throughout the loan process, giving us comprehensive financial information to help us make an informed decision on our mortgage. He laid out several financial options and took time to ensure we understood their differences. He was extremely patient with us and took pains to explain things to us clearly. Chris went above and beyond what a typical lender usually does for their clients: he communicated frequently with all parties on the loan status and was quick to respond to questions and concerns. At various times we asked him to contact the seller's agent to discuss important issues, which he willingly did. Chris had a sense of ownership throughout the process and even recommended an outstanding realtor to us. He is proactive, diligent, savvy and treats his clients with upmost care and respect. As long as Chris is in the industry we would never consider working with anyone else and highly recommend him to friends, family and colleagues.

Chris was amazing to work with from the first phone call to the last page signed at closing. This was my first home I purchased and I had no idea what I was doing. He helped me with an FHA loan (which many lenders aren't experienced with) and worked tirelessly on securing the best rates and lowest down payment possible. I know I wasn't his only client at the time but he definitely made me feel like it. There is no doubt that I will use Chris with every home purchase going forward and will recommend him to anyone I know looking to buy a home.

I am real estate agent in the City of Chicago. I have referred Chris Chambers to a number of my clients and always get great feedback. Chris goes the extra effort to make sure that my clients understand the loan process and always has options that work for each individual case. Additionally, the company that Chris works for, Guaranteed Rate has cutting edge technology to ease the process and allow you to enter your info on an easy to use portal on your own time.

Chris is truly an expert in his field and is a pleasure to work with. You won't find a more knowledgable, nor a harder working mortgage broker. I recommend him to anyone who likes to dig in on scenarios and really understand products and how it all works.

Chris is great. My wife and I were first-time homebuyers with a million questions about how much to finance, down-payment options, multi-unit investment opportunities, etc. Chris was very responsive and generous with his time and wealth of experience to address all of those questions and then some. He is certainly analytical and adept with crunching numbers quickly, but he is also able to convey complicated concepts concisely and in a manner we could understand. At the end of the day, Chris made us feel confident that we were making our largest investment as knowledgeable pros and not the neophytes we were before we spoke with him. We highly recommend Chris and trust that you will have a similar experience with him.

No one gives the kind of in depth review and expert experience customized to your lending needs as Chris Chambers. He will spend the time needed to explain the options based on your goals and help you get into the best loan product to meet your specific goal. You will not go wrong with Chris and his team. I recommend him to all of my residential real estate clients and I've used him for several of my own personal loans.

Chris was outstanding to work with and calmed my nerves at every step along the way. At closing, I realized I had been worrying for nothing. Chris helped me secure a great IDHA first time home buyer loan and it was almost done electronically. The only documents that I couldn't e-sign, were FedExed with a return envelope. It was the easiest part of the entire home buying process and I will definitely use Guranteed Rate and Chris again.

Chris explained my mortgage options in a way that was easy to comprehend. He is extremely knowledgable. I recommend him for your mortgage banking needs.
