Matt Harmon
Executive Vice President of Guaranteed Rate
Matt Harmon is responsible for processing and production management within Guaranteed Rate’s retail branches across the country. He also oversees the company’s Appraisal, Co-op and Condo Departments. When Matt is not in the office, he can be found at the helm of his boat, treating his family and friends to pleasure cruises on the waters of Lake Geneva in Wisconsin. His life and work philosophies overlap according to an essential principle that has guided many throughout the ages. “I live by the Golden Rule, here and outside of work,” says Matt, a Roman Catholic who is actively involved with his church and community. “Treat others how you’d like to be treated. What I’ve always loved about Guaranteed Rate and Victor’s vision is the focus on helping people, and not just the customer. Whether it’s great employee benefits and the rooftop deck or the GR Foundation and all the volunteer activities we do, this is a company that really treats people the right way.” However, Matt cites the focus on customer satisfaction as the element that truly sets the company apart. “We’re different than any other company in the mortgage space because of a singular focus on how we impact the customer. People here are taught early on that we do things differently, that we don’t operate according to what other companies are doing or ‘how it’s always been done’. We have a specific model, a set of core values that binds us together every day. When we get into work we’re all fighting for the same cause: to be the best in class in processes, products, and especially service.”
