My wife and I know quite a few people who managed to get their mortgage through Zena Shekarabi. Since we dont live close to Toronto, I hadnt thought of contacting Zena Shekarabi before. We mainly liaised with Mahsa and we found Mahsa and the office very efficient and professional. They know their job well and they make sure that you dont feel neglected. I got quick replies to my emails and clear instructions that resulted in a mortgage at a good rate. I recommend Zena Shekarabi with no reservations.
