Guaranteed Rate to Host Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony Celebrating New Michigan Location

 

Guaranteed Rate, a leader in mortgage lending and digital financial services, is hosting a grand opening ceremony on Wednesday, July 20th between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to showcase its newly renovated location in St. Joseph, Mich.

 

The branch, located at 717 Ship St. in downtown St. Joseph, was first  announced last September and is one of twelve locations Guaranteed Rate has opened in the state. A familiar name in the Southwest Michigan mortgage industry, Joy Cluff was brought on to serve as Area Manager.

 

“We have been patiently waiting for the opportunity to celebrate our new office for a while now, and we are so excited to finally show off our new space and connect in-person with members of the community,” said Cluff, a 19-year industry veteran. “Our dedicated team has a true passion for helping homebuyers achieve their dreams of homeownership, and we are so

thrilled to provide the very best mortgage experience.”

 

Alongside Cluff is her husband Matt, who serves as a mortgage consultant for the operation. Together, they have assembled a team of experienced industry professionals, including Tim Ritchie, Monica Shannon, Justin McMurray and David and Regina Danikowski’s team, Rick Lapins Branch Manager Renovation Specialist to serve clients in Southwestern Michigan and Indiana.

 

“There were multiple factors in joining Guaranteed Rate. Not only are they a growing company with a solid foundation, but also my husband works in operations. This allows us to show our three children that parents can work together and be passionate about what they do,” adds Cluff.
