Rose
will
be
in

started

In
this

more
than
$19
billion
in
total
loan
volume
to
the

In
2021,

brokerage


Compass. 

“It
is
great

Meanwhile,
Hutchens
returns
to
Guaranteed
Rate
after
a
two-year
tenure
as
a
branch
leader
at

Movement
Mortgage.
In
his
new
role,
Hutchens
will
oversee

book
of
business
in

North
Carolina.
Additionally,
he
will
provide
management
and
mentorship
to
other
loan
officers
at
Guaranteed
Rate.

“It’s
cliché
but
sometimes
you
don’t
know
what
you
have
until
it’s
gone,”
Hutchens
said
in
a
statement.
“I’ve
returned
to
what
I
believe
to
be
the
best
mortgage
platform
in
the
business.
I
enjoyed
nearly
a
decade
with
this
team
before,
so
my
trusted
referral
partners
are
thrilled
to
see
me
return. 

“Everything
at
Guaranteed

is
geared
towards
delivering
a
world-class
client
experience;
the
website
and
app
are
easy
to
navigate
and

business
our
way.
Guaranteed
Rate
loan

have
the
pricing,
tech,
and
tools
to
truly
deliver
results
in
North
Carolina’s
fast-paced
and
competitive

real
estate
market.”
