Working with Empire has been amazing, I am very glad we made the decision. Patrick Zenta specifically has been there for me every step of the way - often times after hours as well! He will be a huge asset whether you're new to real estate investing or a seasoned individual. He will ensure the best products and options are put in front of you to make an educated decision. It's important to have an incredible team around you - Patrick is on my team! I highly recommend!

Aaron Porcaro is a gem! From day 1 of meeting, Aaron provided in-depth information about our mortgage options and answered numerous questions. With his deep expertise of the industry, we were confident that Aaron was leading us in the right direction to chose the best options. I would recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a mortgage - no matter the size!

Amazing service and mortgage advice from Patrick Zenta and team. With his help, I was able to successfully purchase a property in Hamilton and secure a mortgage during a probationary period, something that none of the big banks could offer me.
Patrick was exceptionally responsive to my inquiries as a first-time home buyer and provided the best financing options for my situation. He took the time to gather the specifics of my situation in order to qualify me for the maximum mortgage amount. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a mortgage or exploring their financing options!
