This is not a notary anyone should ever choose to convey their mortgage. They are extremely incompetent and very unprofessional. Watch out for significant cost escalation, and many "hidden costs" that will get added onto their "quote for service". I do not recommend this company.

We went to Harman Virk on the purchase of our condo and then again when we sold our condo and got into a townhouse. The team at Harman Virk was very accommodating and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We felt very confident in the team and Rhonda was even available to explain any unknowns to us so much so that we were very confident in the transactions that took place. Will continue to use Harman Virk Notary for any and all future transactions. Thank you for the work that you do.

Have used Harman Virk a few times and have found them to be very professional and knowledgeable. I have recently used them during covid and they have amazing covid protocols in place. I will definitely recommend to friends and family

Not professional, bad customer service, name spelt wrong 6x after multiple warnings. this place gave me so much stress and made the process that much more difficult. They don't explain the fees they charge. Choose Simpson notaries - they explained the fees for me even though i wasn't using them to buy my first home because when i called this place they refused to explain or were not knowledgeable until day of signing all legal documents which was too late at that point to back out. Sorry but they need to hire some new admin staff who are more helpful and have some basic knowledge.

Receptionist is rude and arrogant. Doesnt provide a timely response and lacks basic interpersonal skills. Highly suggest training and development. Weve used Harman twice, definitely will not be returning.

Receptionist was very rude, not welcoming at all. Very abrupt talking. Definitely lacks interpersonal skill. Think she might be a relative of the owner, thats why they are putting up with her despite all these bad reviews. My wife and I had an appointment today and we were standing right at their door at the right time, still we had to make a phone call for her to come open the door although she could see us clearly and was sitting 6 feet away from the glass door with no other customer with her. (Door was locked due to Covid restrictions). When inside, she made us feel like we were there asking
