Darren was very thorough, approachable and also very efficient. He answered my many questions. Once I was approved, Daren walked me through the next steps that I would need to do, leading up to my possession date. Using text messages, phone calls and emails were also effortless as we worked towards getting my mortgage. I would hire Darren again! - Elke Brase

I have dealt with mortgage specialist in the past but never have I had the pleasure of dealing with a team of professionals going above and beyond what is expected. I needed to move quickly and with unrealistic time lines somehow Darren and his team made it happen!

Darren looked very helpful at the early stage until we signed the papers, we find out that he lied and because we have not prove about what he said we were in bad status with the bank, first the bank send us a letter requesting us to close all out accounts and we informed the bank that we already informed Darren about the information, Darren denied that he know anything about it. and when we provide proof to the bank, the bank said they will use that for training and improvement purposes only but they will not change their decision. - Hamid kamoona

Darren and his team made the whole process so easy. We had some missteps trying to get the process started with some other brokers previously as we are relatively new to Canada, just moved across the country and looking to buy our first home but Darren supported us through all of that in a very quick and responsive manner. He made the whole process so easy and got us terms that were much better than what we were expecting, we definitely won't be using anyone but Darren in the future. - Courtney Peden

My realtor connected me with Darren after I had been pre-approved by two banks with relatively high rates. Darren swept in and not only got us a significantly lower mortgage rate, but he was thorough, diligent, and worked with us to ensure we got the best deal possible. This can be a stressful time for many, but Darren made it smooth and painless. I would 100% recommend Darren. You will never want to work with anyone else! - Mishma

He is very knowledgeable and makes it easy to navigate complex files like ours (multiple properties and corporate earnings).
