What I’ve always loved about Guaranteed Rate and Victor’s vision is the focus on helping people, and not just the customer. Whether it’s great employee benefits and the rooftop deck or the GR Foundation and all the volunteer activities we do, this is a company that really treats people the right way.” However, Matt cites the focus on customer satisfaction as the element that truly sets the company apart. “We’re different than any other company in the mortgage space because of a singular focus on how we impact the customer. People here are taught early on that we do things differently, that we don’t operate according to what other companies are doing or ‘how it’s always been done’. We have a specific model, a set of core values that binds us together every day. When we get into work we’re all fighting for the same cause: to be the best in class in processes, products, and especially service.”
