Double Your Business
With Guaranteed Rate
Victor Ciardelli
President & CEO
Our focus is on
doubling your
purchase business.
At Guaranteed Rate, our goal is
to offer a platform to double a
originator’s purchase business.
This platform consists of very
competitive pricing, an efficient
process, state-of-the-art
technology, online and offline
marketing, and sales coaching
support for our originators.
Our unique business model
takes administrative tasks off
producers’ plates, freeing them
to do what they do best: close
more mortgage loans.
I founded Guaranteed Rate in
2000 with the idea of building
a different kind of mortgage
company: one that brings
transparency and simplicity
to the mortgage process,
both for homebuyers and our
employees. In the years since,
we’ve grown to become one
of the 10 largest home loan
companies in the nation,
funding nearly $80 billion in
loans since our inception and
$12.4 billion in 2014 alone.
We’re licensed in all 50 states,
and we have nearly 2,500
employees at approximately
175 offices from coast to coast.
Our streamlined approach
has attracted some of the top
originators in the country, and
we have more members of
the “Top Originators” lists in
Scotsman Guide and Mortgage
Executive Magazine than
any other bank or mortgage
company three years in a row.
And it doesn’t stop there. We
were ranked #1 for retail volume
on Scotsman Guide’s 2014
“Top Mortgage Lenders” list. We
were also named the #4 private
company job creator and #1
real estate industry job creator
in the U.S. by Inc. magazine in
2013. And we’ve been named
to the Chicago Tribune’s “Top
Workplaces” list four of the
past five years. Clearly, we’ve
shown that can transform an
industry while providing a great
environment for employees to
build successful careers.
At Guaranteed Rate, we’re
focused on supporting our
originators to help them double
their purchase business.
We have a program that’s
statistically proven to grow a
originator’s purchase business
by more than 100% over a
period of 12 months. It’s built
on proprietary technology
and includes a step-by-step,
detailed plan that enables them
to spend more time building
their purchase business with
both current and new borrowers
and referral partners while
reducing the time spent on
administrative, non-sales tasks.
I encourage you to read on and
learn more about our platform
and the outstanding career and
personal benefits of joining the
Guaranteed Rate team. Thank
you for your interest in us.
Sincerely,
Put the customer first
At Guaranteed Rate, a satisfied
customer is one who would refer
us to friends and family. We
strive to win the trust and the
business of our customer to
make them clients for life.
Work with the best of the best
We built our company by
focusing on the best of the best.
High-performing individuals and
organizations have a multiplying
effect on results and so we are
selective about whom we work
with. We work hard to support
and improve the relationships
we have with our employees and
referral partners.
Demand excellence
We have a high standard for
the quality of our work. When
we do our jobs well, our referral
partners are happy and our
customers keep coming back.
We pride ourselves on excellent
work, and it shows in our
year-over-year growth.
Hold self and others accountable
We hold ourselves and others
accountable for high-quality
work and meeting commitments
made. We admit our mistakes,
seek transparency and embrace
constructive feedback, which
allows us to learn from our
mistakes and improve in the
future.
Ownership
We work as though we own the
company, and we focus on the
whole. We have a commitment to
sustainability and growth.
Frugality
We spend on what matters to
our customers, and we limit
the rest. Low rates can only be
accomplished through being
financially disciplined. Frugality
is a constraint that forces us to
be inventive and have a culture
of self-sufficiency.
Bias to action
Quick delivery is important for
our customers and our bottom
line. We move fast in order
to limit risk. We make tough
decisions and strive to create
an environment that fosters a
strong bias to action.
Healthy, balanced and fun
Delivering results is best
achieved by energetic and
healthy individuals who
love their jobs, have good
relationships with co-workers
and live balanced lives. We
also believe that part of being a
healthy and balanced individual
is giving back and making a
difference outside the company
through charity.
Think big and solve problems
We are bold in our ideas and we
challenge the status quo. When
confronted with a problem, we
turn lemons into lemonade,
finding solutions with a
proactive mentality.
Deliver results
We overcome obstacles, solve
problems and produce results
for the business. We don’t spend
time thinking about the past.
Rather, we own them and find
ways to deliver better outcomes
in the future.
Guaranteed Rate Core Values
At Guaranteed Rate we strive for the industry leading value proposition
for our originators, our referral sources and our customers.
Industry-Best
Technology
We continually develop cutting-edge technology to create
greater efficiencies throughout each step of the process,
which equates to more closed loans for our originators.

alike realize numerous benefits.
Products

We sell directly to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae,
which provides minimal overlays and our originators
are armed with the most competitive pricing on conforming
products in the mortgage industry.
Access Exclusive Programs
Our originators can always find a program to satisfy the unique needs of clients and referral sources
at great rates. Originators are free to use our in-house underwriting and all correspondent lenders for
conventional, jumbo or government programs. For unique products and situations they have the option
of using one of our many portfolio lenders. In addition to the many banks we do business with, we also
sell directly to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae.
Unmatched Pricing
By selling directly to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, we are able to offer the most aggressive
pricing on conforming products in the industry with minimal overlays. Our business model enables us to
operate at a lower cost, and this allows us to pass the savings onto borrowers. Our efficiency drives low
rates and fees, and investor competition drives better pricing. Our flexible compensation model allows you
to price to your needs.

I have increased my volume every year
since joining Guaranteed Rate. A lot
of that is due to products, technology
and marketing, which has allowed me
to focus on new business instead of
sitting in the office processing loans.”
Process
& Support
As a sales-driven organization, we allow our originators to focus
on growing their purchase business, while the rest of the team ensures
a seamless process for the borrower. Our time-tested process works.
Sales-Driven Workflow
Guaranteed Rate’s loan process, called the POD Flow, is the backbone for getting loans closed quickly.
This unique and proprietary business model elevates the level of the originator to a manager/CEO of
their team. This allows a vice president of mortgage lending (VP) to maximize the highest and best use
of their time to growing his or her business. We provide our originators with talented and highly trained
operations professionals coupled with a transparent loan process. When loan files have been delegated
to their processing team, the originator audits the file through our online systems, updated in real time.
BENEFITS

	 advanced technology let
	 originators focus on selling
• 	Mortgage consultant (MC) and
	 loan coordinator (LC) follow
	 POD guidelines and originator
	 (VP) delegated expectations

	 originators to monitor loan
	 progress at every step
KEYS TO SUCCESS
• 	Know guidelines,
	 qualify borrowers
• 	Select a lender, lock loan

Guaranteed Rate 2015

  • 1. Double Your Business With Guaranteed Rate
  • 2. Victor Ciardelli President & CEO Our focus is on doubling your purchase business. At Guaranteed Rate, our goal is to offer a platform to double a originator’s purchase business. This platform consists of very competitive pricing, an efficient process, state-of-the-art technology, online and offline marketing, and sales coaching support for our originators. Our unique business model takes administrative tasks off producers’ plates, freeing them to do what they do best: close more mortgage loans. I founded Guaranteed Rate in 2000 with the idea of building a different kind of mortgage company: one that brings transparency and simplicity to the mortgage process, both for homebuyers and our employees. In the years since, we’ve grown to become one of the 10 largest home loan companies in the nation, funding nearly $80 billion in loans since our inception and $12.4 billion in 2014 alone. We’re licensed in all 50 states, and we have nearly 2,500 employees at approximately 175 offices from coast to coast. Our streamlined approach has attracted some of the top originators in the country, and we have more members of the “Top Originators” lists in Scotsman Guide and Mortgage Executive Magazine than any other bank or mortgage company three years in a row. And it doesn’t stop there. We were ranked #1 for retail volume on Scotsman Guide’s 2014 “Top Mortgage Lenders” list. We were also named the #4 private company job creator and #1 real estate industry job creator in the U.S. by Inc. magazine in 2013. And we’ve been named to the Chicago Tribune’s “Top Workplaces” list four of the past five years. Clearly, we’ve shown that can transform an industry while providing a great environment for employees to build successful careers. At Guaranteed Rate, we’re focused on supporting our originators to help them double their purchase business. We have a program that’s statistically proven to grow a originator’s purchase business by more than 100% over a period of 12 months. It’s built on proprietary technology and includes a step-by-step, detailed plan that enables them to spend more time building their purchase business with both current and new borrowers and referral partners while reducing the time spent on administrative, non-sales tasks. I encourage you to read on and learn more about our platform and the outstanding career and personal benefits of joining the Guaranteed Rate team. Thank you for your interest in us. Sincerely,
  • 3. Put the customer first At Guaranteed Rate, a satisfied customer is one who would refer us to friends and family. We strive to win the trust and the business of our customer to make them clients for life. Work with the best of the best We built our company by focusing on the best of the best. High-performing individuals and organizations have a multiplying effect on results and so we are selective about whom we work with. We work hard to support and improve the relationships we have with our employees and referral partners. Demand excellence We have a high standard for the quality of our work. When we do our jobs well, our referral partners are happy and our customers keep coming back. We pride ourselves on excellent work, and it shows in our year-over-year growth. Hold self and others accountable We hold ourselves and others accountable for high-quality work and meeting commitments made. We admit our mistakes, seek transparency and embrace constructive feedback, which allows us to learn from our mistakes and improve in the future. Ownership We work as though we own the company, and we focus on the whole. We have a commitment to sustainability and growth. Frugality We spend on what matters to our customers, and we limit the rest. Low rates can only be accomplished through being financially disciplined. Frugality is a constraint that forces us to be inventive and have a culture of self-sufficiency. Bias to action Quick delivery is important for our customers and our bottom line. We move fast in order to limit risk. We make tough decisions and strive to create an environment that fosters a strong bias to action. Healthy, balanced and fun Delivering results is best achieved by energetic and healthy individuals who love their jobs, have good relationships with co-workers and live balanced lives. We also believe that part of being a healthy and balanced individual is giving back and making a difference outside the company through charity. Think big and solve problems We are bold in our ideas and we challenge the status quo. When confronted with a problem, we turn lemons into lemonade, finding solutions with a proactive mentality. Deliver results We overcome obstacles, solve problems and produce results for the business. We don’t spend time thinking about the past. Rather, we own them and find ways to deliver better outcomes in the future. Guaranteed Rate Core Values At Guaranteed Rate we strive for the industry leading value proposition for our originators, our referral sources and our customers.

  • 10. Process & Support As a sales-driven organization, we allow our originators to focus on growing their purchase business, while the rest of the team ensures a seamless process for the borrower. Our time-tested process works.
  • 11. Sales-Driven Workflow Guaranteed Rate’s loan process, called the POD Flow, is the backbone for getting loans closed quickly. This unique and proprietary business model elevates the level of the originator to a manager/CEO of their team. This allows a vice president of mortgage lending (VP) to maximize the highest and best use of their time to growing his or her business. We provide our originators with talented and highly trained operations professionals coupled with a transparent loan process. When loan files have been delegated to their processing team, the originator audits the file through our online systems, updated in real time. BENEFITS • Highly efficient processes and advanced technology let originators focus on selling • Mortgage consultant (MC) and loan coordinator (LC) follow POD guidelines and originator (VP) delegated expectations • Online auditing tools allow originators to monitor loan progress at every step KEYS TO SUCCESS • Know guidelines, qualify borrowers • Select a lender, lock loan • Set borrower expectations, introduce the team • Delegate tasks to POD team and audit for success BUILD RELATIONSHIPS • Ensure client’s complete satisfaction • Ask for referrals, solidify relationship • Ongoing communication with past borrowers and referral sources PROCESSING UNDERWRITING APPROVAL VP VPMC UW LC ORIGINATION CLOSING VP DELEGATES AND AUDITS PROCESS USING ONLINE TOOLS
  • 12. The POD processing model is very different. I’m now able to focus on taking new business and even have time to have lunch and build relationships with my referral partners.

  • 13. Marketing Tools Originators at Guaranteed Rate have a variety of marketing tools readily available. From automated, database-driven marketing campaigns to co-branded realtor partner materials and even custom- made collateral, there are numerous ways for originators to build their business and reinforce existing relationships. When transitioning to Guaranteed Rate, we understand it’s crucial to originators’ business to get up and running fast. Business cards, moving announcements and a personal website are just a sampling of what is implemented right away. On Boarding/Start-Up Originators submit their databases, sign up for campaigns and watch their leads roll in. Our automated campaigns allow them to market to past clients and referral partners as often as they choose.

Another top selling point is Guaranteed Rate’s innovative technology, which is a game changer for leaders in the industry who want to grow their business.” Julia Borst Former Owner of MetroPointe Mortgage Midvale, UT Company Volume and Units the Last Full Year with MetroPointe Mortgage: $66.4M, 289 units 2013 Regional Loan Volume and Units with Guaranteed Rate: $286.1M, 1218 units 2014 Regional Loan Volume and Units with Guaranteed Rate: $321.5M, 1334 units
