Very pleased with the service we received. Professional and trustworthy. Definitely felt our money was well spent as they took care of all the details related to our mortgage and made sure we were well informed and protected.

I involved the support of Blake and his team for the purchase of my first property. I had a wonderful experience - very professional, quick to respond to any and all inquiries, thorough in their explanations and accommodating to my work and holiday schedule. This is an intimidating process for a first time home buyer, however, Rita and Blake made me feel very at ease. I will be referring Blake to my peers to ensure they are in good hands!

We used Blake and his team in June/July for the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old home. I was extremely pleased by the service we received. First of all, everything was done in a timely manner - almost to the exact hour, were certain things achieved. When Blake and his team said "this" would occur by 3pm, sure enough, I received communication that whatever we were waiting for or whatever we needed done, had occurred. When it came time to actually sitting down with Blake, everything was done methodically, and he explained everything step-by-step-by-step. What I liked the most about

Used Blake for real estate sale. Was not kept informed of what was going on and had to constantly call to be informed if deal was closed and any details. When called, met with gruff and short response. Many mistakes made in the paperwork that had to be corrected. Charges were higher than quoted and no explanation provided. Find someone with better communication skills and attention to detail.
