Shelly was an absolutely delight to work with! As first time home buyers, we were unsure of how the whole process worked. We shopped around and met with several different loan officers and what lead us to go with Shelly was her transparency, accessibility and her disposition . She made herself available and answered all of my many questions which provided calm to what can be a hectic process. Absolutely recommend working with Shelly, and we will again in the future!

My wife and I worked with Shelly for our home loan, and she was amazing. She was prompt and professional throughout the entire buying process. She was happy to share her knowledge of the Chicago real estate process and went well beyond what we expected. I highly recommend Shelly to anyone purchasing a home in the Chicago area.

My husband and I refinanced our home with Shelly & Guaranteed Rate in August 2020. I would not hesitate to work with Shelly again and plan to recommend her to my friends & family. Shelly is responsive, informed and didn't hesitate to answer our many, many questions. Through her ongoing counsel and proactive communication, we felt confident in the financing choice we made and well-informed about the process every step of the way. Seamless from start-to-finish. Thank you, Shelly & team!

Shelly was amazing to work with. As a first time home buyer, the process was completely new and we were feeling a little lost at first. However, she made it really simple by explaining every details with the terms that we'd understand and answering all our questions. She was very easy to contact with and always quick to respond. We would definitely recommend Shelly to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Over the course of 3 years of on and off house hunting, I've gone from someone who knew nothing about buying a home to having one myself and that was due in large part by the guidance of Shelly. Shelly was so amazing to talk to and was a helpful voice through the whole process. Throughout numerous offers and inquiries for certain homes, Shelly was available to talk almost any time day or night. I have recommended working with Shelly to a few friends and I will continue to do so. Shelly is amazing!

Shelly is fantastic! I had to change lenders late in my buying process - Shelly stepped in and was incredible. She made sure we didn't miss the close date even though we were only 3 weeks away from closing when we first started working together. Her team worked so quickly and there were no hidden last minute documentation requests. She was upfront about the process and knew of some rate discounts based on area/ first time buyer. I would highly recommend Shelly, in fact I would work with Shelly from the beginning of the buying process next time.

Shelly was the absolute best to work with for our home buying journey! She was patient and attentive, and made sure all of our needs were met, especially when buying a house in a pandemic. Not one question was left unanswered, and my husband Joe and I had a TON of them. Would HIGHLY recommend her and Guaranteed Rate for your lending needs.

Shelly Ave was amazing to work with. Could not have asked for a better person to guide us in the right direction to buy our first home. Shelly was there to answer any questions we had and made the process as smooth as possible. I highly recommend her services. She is the best!

Shelly was awesome to work with when I was buying my house... she's super knowledgable, and was able to answer all of my questions. When you're making a big purchase, it's nice to know you've got someone in your court helping you through all of the things that come up... Shelly set my mind at ease and made the whole process a breeze - we even closed early, she was that on top of things! I can't recommend Shelly enough!
