Guaranteed Rate's newest branch is located at 717 Ship St. and is now the eighth location for the company in Michigan. With the new branch comes two new team members, Matt Cluff and Shana Chrismon.

Cluff, who has 15 years of mortgage operations experience, will join the team as a mortgage consultant. Chrismon will join the company, as well as serve clients in Niles, Mich., as a vice president of Mortgage Lending.
