CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - April 07, 2016) - Guaranteed Rate, the eighth largest retail mortgage lender in the nation and an industry technology leader, emphasizes the importance of comparing mortgage options to find the lowest rate in its latest national television campaign featuring company spokesperson and home improvement celebrity Ty Pennington.
The commercial, titled "Double Dare," challenges consumers to shop and compare mortgage options to find the lowest interest rate for their home loan. Guaranteed Rate's goal is to remind borrowers that choosing a mortgage rate that is even a faction of a percentage point lower can result in significant savings. For example, when applying for a new 30-year purchase mortgage with a loan amount of $300,000, choosing an offer with a 3.25 percent interest rate versus an offer with a 3.50 percent interest rate could save over $15,000 in interest over the life of the loan.
"Guaranteed Rate built our company on the goal of providing customers with the very best service, product and interest rate possible," said Victor Ciardelli, Guaranteed Rate President & CEO. "We invite all borrowers to take just a few minutes to compare Guaranteed Rate's low, low rates to see if they can save money on their mortgage."
