Response from Mike Murgatroy CrossCountry Mortgage
Thank you so much for the opportunity to assist you. I'm so glad your credit union made an exception to help you in a county they don't handle and do the low down payment jumbo mortgage. Since you had used them multiple times and their rates and terms were fair I made sure to advise you to stay with them. My team and I will always give this type of advice. We look forward to future opportunities.

Mike and his team were top-notch. While we had purchased a home before, this purchase was more complicated due to our employment circumstances and the way we needed to structure the loan. They guided us through every step and walked through our options, making sure we understood the pros and cons to different approaches. They always responded super fast to our questions, and kept us up to date on the status as things progressed. Mike and his team were able to come up with a mortgage solution that worked perfectly for our situation. He is highly professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend him!

I am so happy I worked with Mike and his team at Guaranteed Rate to help my husband and I purchase our first home. I first spoke with the team February 2017 for the loan application and received our pre-approval letter a few weeks later. Mike's team member, Rick, helped me through the home buying process and was able to break down the expected costs many, many times. I had many questions and Mike and his team were very responsive and patient with my requests. I am a preferred member at certain banks and they didn't give me the attention and care that my husband and I received at GR. I needed an updated pre-approval letter on a weekend and I was able to contact Rick directly for the updated documentation we needed without having to wait until Monday. After going through three contracts, we finally closed on our first home July 2017. One of Mike's team members, Patrick, came to our closing to make sure we were happy with our mortgage package. I know I can call on Mike's team at any time and I look forward to working with them in the future.

Mike Murgatory's G/R team recently helped me complete a refinancing and I could not be happier with the process and the result. Previously I enjoyed an excellent experience with the same team two years ago when we first purchased the home -- when they guided me through a fairly complicated situation. I emailed them on a whim a few weeks ago to see if we might be able to restructure our loan on better terms due to changed circumstances. I heard back later that day from Peter with a range of options. I'm normally pretty neurotic about following up on things and setting reminders for myself, but this team is just totally on top of everything so I let them run the show and waited for updates which always came, at a minimum, every Wednesday. The process was painless like the last time. Everyone on the team handles their business and all the outside people show up on time (appraiser, notary). We will now be saving many thousands of dollars thanks to the refinancing. I wish I had more opportunities to work with this team -- they're just tremendous and work in lockstep. I will recommend them to anyone and everyone I know in the market.

We will continue to utilize Mike and his team for all our mortgage needs. He delivers amazing results, is always available, goes above and beyond to answer all of our questions, and does not shy away from giving good input and tips regarding property purchases, etc. We cannot praise Mike and his team enough.

I don't even know where to start. Mike and his team helped me get a loan after being turned down by three previous lenders. My situation was difficult and other companies scratched their heads at my dilemma. Mike went straight to his underwriter to explain my circumstances. He didn't want to waste my time or get my hopes up. I really appreciated that after being turned down, several times, previously. Honestly, I had a good feeling about Mike after reading how responsive he is. The reviews don't lie!!! Five minutes after sending Mike a message he reached back out to me!! I was SUPER impressed. Mike is professional and his has one of the best power teams that I have ever come across. I am blessed to have been fortunate enough to find such a great team of outstanding people to work with. Don't call anyone else, it doesn't get any better than Mike and the fine folks at Guaranteed Rate. Hey Guys.....YOU ROCK!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!

Mike and the team are top notch. When I was looking for a mortgage, I tested offers from big names like Wells Fargo and Quicken. I also tested out Mike Murgatroy with Guaranteed Rate because of the reviews here on Angie's list...and am I ever glad I did. The biggest difference was that Mike didn't try to stick me in a one-size-fits-all mortgage like the others. In fact, Mike was very creative, looked at my situation and evaluated every aspect to find a perfect loan. It literally saved me thousands in both closing and over the term of the loan. When I told the other companies I wasn't using them, they asked why. I told them about the loan and it was only then when they offered the same terms. No thanks, I'd rather use someone that is looking out for me from the start. I won't hesitate using them in the future.

Everything went smoothly. 90% of everything was handled online. When I needed a person to speak to my calls were answered quickly and efficiently. What I did was a little scary or daring. My family and I decided to make a major change in our lifestyles moving from New Jersey to Louisiana. I had worked with Mike before on a refinance because of the Angie's List reviews. He lived up to the reviews that time. This time when there was very little room for error, knowing I could count on Mike and the financing made the process less nerve racking than it would have been. We are good candidates with good income and good credit. So the process should go smoothly and with Guaranteed Rate it did.

I cannot say enough good things about Mike and his team of professional individuals. In this day and age, unfortunately, it is very hard to find good customer service, let alone great customer service. Mike and his entire team where there to assist me every time I called, were always available, extremely responsive and on top of all me needs/requests. I was looking to re-finance and called my existing lender first to find out details/cost and then I called Mike. Comparison of service/cost between the two was night/day. I would recommend ANYONE looking to finance or refinance a home to call Mike at Guaranteed Rate Mortgage. You won't be disappointed.

This is the second time I have used Mike Murgatroy/Guaranteed Rate (once for a refi, once for a new home mortgage), and they make it so easy. They stay on top of deadlines, stay in constant communication, and are totally up front about everything. Each department person was like this, although I knew Mike would be there if I needed him. Good experience.

And you are 100% correct; even though Mike has a team he works with, he is never too busy to talk to his clients. This is why we have repeat clients such as yourself!

Mike's team name is Team Integrity. Integrity defined as "the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness" Sometimes we advise our clients NOT to take a loan if there is no true benefit. Unfortunately there so many mortgage originators that are just looking for the SALE and will write a mortgage that doesn't make good financial sense to their customer. We do not believe in transaction selling; we focus on relationship building so our clients become part of the Murgatroy family and are treated as such! This is why we are known as Team Integrity!

Rate was reduced considerably, Although that's in great part my doing, GR was able to offer the best rate. PMI was eliminated. Although a shorter term, monthly mortgage + escrow only went up by about 15%. Paid up front for an appraisal, but that was prorated in the loan cost. The process was extremely easy. Most of the paperwork I needed to provide was available electronically and posted to a secure web site. To close, a notary came by with some additional paperwork, and then BAM, closed. I think it was easier than financing a car. All told, the actual loan cost minus the appraisal was added to the loan, and I was able to get just a bit of cash back. Michael and team: thanks so much. I'll be back when it's time to refinance again and build a sun room, a stone fence and an underground lair.

We love to hear that our process was smoother than getting an auto loan! Mike and his team utilize a web based platform that makes getting a mortgage very convenient for the modern buyer. Also we analyze our client's entire picture instead of just focusing on the mortgage. This is why we always circle back to our clients after 6 months to a year to re-address their mortgage needs (such as removing PMI). We very much enjoyed working with you and look forward to assisting all of your friends and family members in the future!

I reached out to Mike Murgatory to see if he could help me. He reviewed my finances and credit history and found that my ex husband had defaulted on the house we had lived in when married. He had taken possession of it… Mike took the time to help me work through this and find a mortgage that was an acceptable term and rate. No one else would do this without charging me an arm and a leg! Mike knew that my sister was a disabled veteran from the US Air Force and he wanted to do all he could to help and sure she had a safe home to live for days. He kept the cost down as much as he could so the necessary adaptionS for her could be done. I cannot thank Mike and his team enough for helping me through this very, very stressful time. He did such a good job that the actual closing was anti-climactic! I don't think it took a whole hour to complete the closing !
Description of Work: I needed home mortgage. I had come out of a bad divorce that had left me with a six-figure IRS debt. After seven years I had finally paid this and all the other debts he left me off and was ready to move forward on buying a home for myself and my handicapped sister. I have been with the same bank since 1987 and thought that would be the best way to move forward. The lease on our current home was up at the end of April and I began the financing process in late December. My bank told me they could give me a mortgage at an astounding rate and term. I went through all the underwriting process and at the last minute they told me that my debt to income ratio did not meet their standards (for some reason they were including the lease and the new mortgage and my monthly payment). They had no other options for me. In a panic I reached out to Mike Margaret Tori to see if he could help me.

We see this all the time where one of the big box banks will tell their clients amazing terms and then at the last second either increase the rate/terms or flat out decline them for something that should have been recognized right up front. Mike has a special ability to quickly identify any challenges and structure a loan with the right solution in a matter of MINUTES. When Mike structures a loan properly up front, he knows that the rest of the process is simply following the path that he laid out. With Guaranteed Rate being a direct lender, Mike is able to reach out to our in-house underwriters at anytime when structuring loans with those tricky situations. The difference between Mike and those big box banks are that they say they want to build a relationship with their clients; Mike actually does it!

Mike’s team consistently went above and beyond to help me refinance. My situation was a bit more complex than a typical refinancing - I acquired my home using a private lender and I invested a significant amount of money to renovate the property. The team helped me through the process of refinancing which included paying off the private lender and returning cash proceeds to myself. I originally reached out to them back in January 2016. While the home renovation process went slower than expected, the Murgatory team stayed by me the entire time and was always willing to help. Do not let their location prevent you from working with them – everything went smooth even though they are located in Florida and I am in New Jersey. They can handle mortgages all over the country. I would recommend this team to anyone. Thanks again guys!

We know that not every refinance is going to be cut and dry and completed in 30 days. Sometimes we have clients that need to wait for various reasons; in this case home renovations; but others may include the waiting periods for bankruptcies or foreclosures, paying down debts to increase credit scores, waiting on the sale of another property to qualify, and much more. Mike firmly believes in his follow up system. He wants his clients to know that he will be with them every step of the way until the time is right. And you are correct, our system for processing a loan 1,000 miles away is the same as it would be for a client in our own backyard. Our process is streamlined, convenient, and efficient! Thank you for trusting us with you most precious asset . . . your home.

For various reasons we have clients that may not be ready to finance for several months or in this case over a year. Mike and his team have a follow up system to make sure our clients are progressing towards their goal. Unlike big box banks that forget who their clients are after a month, Mike takes a vested interest in helping people, which includes educating them on the process. Not every loan will be cookie cutter and this is why working with Mike is so important. He has the foresight to know what challenges may lay ahead and will properly structure your loan with " thinking out of the box" financing to get the job done. And now to see how delighted his client is over a year later is why Mike got into this business in the first place . . . . the satisfaction of helping someone achieve homeowenrship . . . . no better feeling in the world!
