Guaranteed Rate Affinity, a partnership between Anywhere Real Estate and Guaranteed Rate, today announced the appointment of Mark Rawls as Vice President of Mortgage Lending. Rawls brings over 22 years of industry experience to the role, which includes being a six-time President's Club recipient during his tenure at Movement Mortgage and a member of the Founder's Club, which recognizes loan officers who close $250M in loans during their time at the company.

"As I join Guaranteed Rate Affinity, I'm excited to leverage the innovative technology and support of this incredible team to serve my clients better," said Rawls. "Building relationships through clear communication and being available 24/7, something clients truly appreciate is what makes this work so rewarding. I'm committed to ensuring that each family I work with experiences a smooth and truly fulfilling home-buying journey."

Rawls announced the move in a LinkedIn post. 

"We are thrilled to welcome Mark to the Guaranteed Rate Affinity team," said Jay Crowder, divisional manager for the Southeast region. "His extensive experience, industry accolades, and client-first approach make him a perfect fit to lead our North Carolina team and strengthen our partnership with Coldwell Banker."

Lance Branham, managing broker-in-charge for Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, a subsidiary of Anywhere Real Estate, said the company's partnership with Guaranteed Rate Affinity sets the table for the best mortgage experience possible.

"Mark's passion for real estate and community, combined with Guaranteed Rate Affinity's proven platform and talented loan officers, is a recipe for continued success in providing our clients with a fast, seamless mortgage experience," Branham added.
