Proper Rate Makes Impressive Debut on Chicago Agent Magazine’s 2021 Who’s Who List
September 27, 2021 (CHICAGO) — Proper Rate, a joint mortgage origination venture between Guaranteed Rate and @properties, had 11 of their top originators featured in Chicago Agent Magazine’s 2021 Who’s Who list.
The list, published annually in Chicago Agent Magazine, recognizes the top Chicagoland real estate professionals. Through a rigorous nomination process, these professionals are ultimately selected not only for their production numbers, but also for their hard work and dedication to excellence in the industry.
“It’s truly incredible to see these hard-working individuals who contribute so much to the success of Proper Rate being celebrated on such a large scale,” said Dan Moran, Executive Vice President of Sales for Proper Rate. “To have more than half of our Chicagoland based top-producing loan originators recognized for their contributions to their clients, partners and the entire industry is a clear reflection of the top-notch team we have assembled. After what has already been a record-setting year for the company, I can’t wait to see what’s ahead for us.”
Proper Rate, which launched in 2020, offers borrowers the advantages of a big lender with the hands-on feel of a “boutique” firm. Despite the challenges of launching during the pandemic, the company’s loan officers funded more than $1.6 billion in total loan volume in 2020 and served over 4,400 borrowers. During its second year, the company has already funded more than $1 billion of total volume in the first half of 2021 with the average Proper Rate loan originator each having closed over $80 million in total funding.
