Elle Zimmerman brings 10 years of experience in the mortgage lending industry and a passion for personalized service and transparency to her role as vice president of mortgage lending at Guaranteed Rate Affinity. Before transitioning to mortgage lending, Zimmerman developed a strong understanding of the real estate market and client needs, allowing her to serve a wide range of borrowers, including first-time homebuyers. Her approach is centered on understanding each client’s unique financial situation and ensuring they feel informed and confident every step of the way.
Zimmerman’s business style is defined by her focus on education and building trust. She takes the time to guide her clients through various loan options, explaining what they need to qualify and which products are best suited to their goals. This personalized service has earned her a reputation for going above and beyond to help clients who initially believed they couldn’t qualify for a mortgage. Clients often express their gratitude for her transparency and willingness to answer questions, which helps them feel at ease throughout the home financing process.
Zimmerman’s success stems from her strong relationships with agent referral partners, who trust her to deliver outstanding results. She also relies on referrals from past clients, who frequently recommend her to family, friends and colleagues. Her commitment to prioritizing her clients’ best interests — even when that means recommending alternatives — sets her apart in the competitive mortgage lending field.
Outside of work, Zimmerman enjoys spending weekends boating, hiking and exploring other outdoor activities with her family. The mother of three is also a renovation and design enthusiast. She recently completed a two-year remodel of a century-old home, allowing her to serve as a valuable resource for her clients.
