As a first time home buyer the entire process can seem pretty intimidating. Scott walked me through every step of the way and made sure that he explained exactly what he was doing, what was required, why this was needed... he even offered tips and help with steps outside of the mortgage process and made me feel comfortable with every part of the purchase. I would recommend his services to anybody. Thanks again Scottread more

Scott accomplished nothing short of a miracle by finding me a great lender and a great rate. My situation was very difficult and no other broker was able to help. The type of service that Scott provided me with, will never be forgotten. He worked diligently to make sure I was able to secure a mortgage on time and, in more than one occasion, went well past office hours to make sure it happened. I will always come to him and will recommend him to anyone that required these services. Thank you so much, for everything!read more

After being left high and dry by my previous lender just a couple of weeks before close I contacted James. He worked so fast and connected me with a lender in a matter of days. He was a life-saver! And I ended up with a much better rate! This guy is magic! I will recommend him forever!read more

We feel very lucky to have been able to work with Steve at Mortgages.ca to secure our mortgage. Steve was always available to answer questions (and believe me, we had lots!).

We worked with James and he helped us to get amazing percents with 5 years closed in one of the top5 Canadian Banks despite we were new immigrants and had only 5% downpayment and were already rejected by TD Bank before we came to James. Even the Bank employee was shocked when we came to brunch meeting: he said that the Bank didn't offer such low percents these days. James is really a magician and we are so happy and grateful. Thank you again, James. It was a great pleasure to work with Mortgages.caread more

We've had a great experience working with James and the Mortgages.ca team for more than a year now, including securing a mortgage for our first home. On top of that, the team alerted us to other great opportunities, such as a program to complete our home renovations and later helped us lower our interest rate. We highly recommend the broker route for anyone buying a home!read more

It was a pleasure to have Steve and Zayna to help us out with our mortgage needs. We not only needed a good rate mortgage but also so many other things to get it approved. Steve and Zayna were very professional and very quick to response. They were always available when needed and helped us out beyond the call of duty. They were there every step of the way and we would highly recommend them.read more

We, as a family, have had the pleasure of re-mortgaging with Steve at Mortgage Architects. I have never done business dealings with anyone as professional as Steve. He was recommended to us by a friend and had the rare knack of making us, strangers, feel right at home from the very beginning to the end. No question asked was considered a stupid question. We felt very comfortable conversing with him and he took the time to explain in depth until we completely understood. Although we never got to meet him in person, we will always remember his professionalism, quick responses and courteous manner. We will definitely pass his name on. Thank you Steve, for getting us on the right road to a happy ending.read more

I recently renewed my mortgage with James and was very happy with the result. Compared to my previous lender (BMO), I found James much more knowledgeable on the options available and most importantly (for me, at least), he was able to provide me with a much better rate that I could find with one of the big banks.read more

The experience working with James and his team was amazing from start to finish! It was my first mortgage for my first home and James was great at explaining what was needed, any next steps, got me pre-approved within a day and even responded to me on the weekend as I had questions while putting in my offer. The quick turnaround on rates and other data points that I asked about made it really easy to for me to make decisions. On top of that, it was the best rate I got. I would definitely recommend going through James for any future financing needs!read more

I was looking to purchase a second condo and having had such a great experience with James the first time, working with him again was a no-brainer. I had a lot of questions - James and his whole team were always available to answer and sometimes (re answer) my many questions. They made a confusing and seemingly daunting process very easy for me. I will absolutely work with James again.read more

Steve brought transparency, availability and a whole lot of experience to the table. The process was far more efficient than other banks and brokers I dealt with. All of our interactions were digital or over the phone - I didn’t have to go into the office once! Steve and Zayna, thanks for making the purchase of my first house possible!read more

James and his staff did a great job providing us a mortgage although we have non traditional incomes. Another broker could not find us a top lender and the rates were much higher than what James was able to provide. I would highly recommend him to anyone.read more
