Chicago, Illinois, United States
BEN COHEN NMLS ID: 217528 • GUARANTEED RATE NMLS 2611 I’ve spent more than two decades helping people navigate one of life’s biggest decisions—buying a home. As Managing Director and Senior Vice President of Lending at Rate, I lead a team that’s built on speed, service, and execution—but more importantly, on relationships and trust. I believe the mortgage process shouldn’t feel overwhelming or impersonal. My goal has always been to simplify the complex, provide clear, actionable advice, and make sure every client walks away feeling confident in their decisions. On Sunday mornings you can find me on NBC’s Open House Chicago, where I share market insights and highlight some of the city’s most remarkable homes. I also love speaking with real estate professionals, developers, and fellow industry peers about what’s really shaping today’s housing market—and how we can make the process better for everyone involved. I’m also deeply connected to the community through local food banks, charitable organizations, and park district and youth sports programs. Giving back and helping others thrive is a huge part of who I am.
