“Adam on Shant's team guided us through a smooth fast pre-approval process. As a result, we found a home pretty quickly and were able to close in 2 weeks time! Adam always responded promptly, answered every question, helped navigate any corrections and communication with the rest of the team and all the people involved. I would highly recommend GR and specifically Adam Tanner!”
John Machado
“I highly recommend Shant Banosian and the Rate team. They were there for us through the ups and downs of a nearly 4 year search for a single family home. They have helped us through the completion of two property purchases and the second time through the process we were able to close in 20 days.”
John Remby
“I worked with Jared and Shelby on Shant's team and they were amazing. Helped support every step of the process to ensure that I was able to put forward the best possible offer to win the bid on my new home, and then get everything underwritten and clear to close quickly and seamlessly for a peaceful and uneventful closing.”
