James was extremely helpful from the very beginning of our home search, his guidance and the final work to obtain a great mortgage made our house hunting experience a breeze in these very unpredictable times. A special mention of Zayna who was very patient and thorough in helping us get all the paper work together!
Our family will go them James again any time and highly recommend his and his team to all our friends and family.

I have used Mortgages.ca for both my mortgages and both times Scott has exceeded my expectations. Scott & Adam were absolutely fantastic this past time in securing me a great rate and putting my mind at ease in the process. They were able to navigate and mitigate complex issues with cross boarder signing and made the process as smooth as possible. Outstanding work by them both, I will certainly be recommending to friends + family and utilizing Mortgages.ca in future as well.

My Bank of over 20 years would not give me the mortgage I required to keep my existing property and buy new. It took the bank 30 days to gather documentation to come to this conclusion. After calling James, he not only got me what I needed to move into my dream home, he got me approved by one of the top lenders in 1 hour. I would highly recommend James and his team!

Worked with Steve Harrison to secure the mortgage for our condo, and cannot recommend him enough. As first time home buyers, we were very new to the process and had tons of questions. Steve and his team were knowledgeable, friendly, prompt, and always reachable. They went above and beyond in walking us through the process, and were there for us at each step of the process. Plus, they got us a very competitive rate, much better than we were getting when we contacted the banks ourselves.
