Belief Manifesto
Every dream come true started with the same, simple thing. Belief. The belief that the dream isn’t just imaginable...it’s possible. Yes, there will be roadblocks. But belief will help you navigate around them. There will be setbacks. Belief will help you regroup. There will be doubters. Belief will help you ignore them. There will be critics. Belief will help you prove them wrong. There will be negativity in your own thoughts. Belief will overwhelm them with positivity. There may be an army of forces arrayed against your dream. But belief... is a force unto itself.

Women play a major decision-making role in 91% of all new home purchases and make up 67% of real estate agents. So we think it’s unacceptable that only 24% of top loan officers are women. We’re proud that now 32% of our loan officers are women, but we won’t be satisfied until that number is at least 50%. That’s why we created the Guaranteed Rate Organization of Women (GROW) to support the growth of every woman in the company, while pushing change in our industry.

Dedicated monthly calls with the leaders of GROW—get tips and advice from women who are leading the industry
