“Ever since starting in residential lending in 2003, I’ve always respected the business that Rate built,” said Paul. “The company’s values, goals, and beliefs are consistent with what I feel is most important in lending: providing the best products at the best rates for our customers while caring, working hard, and holding ourselves accountable. Everyone at Rate does their job well and is never satisfied with remaining stagnant. The vibe of Rate is something I’m very proud and excited to be a part of.”
