The Get a better mortgage

Testimonials & Reviews

As a professional realtor, I cannot thank Mark Tamburro and Robert DiStefano enough for the excellent and competent service that they have continued to provide my clients over the past 12 years. They have successfully placed hundreds of mortgages for my clients and assisted in making the borrowers feel very knowledgeable and comfortable. The personal service that they give, along with the friendly and courteous staff who work hard to get superb rates and quick mortgage commitments remove a great deal of stress from the buying process for the buyers and for myself as an agent. A mortgage commitment from Get A Better Mortgage Inc. is one that you can rely on and as a result, I will, without hesitation, continue to recommend their excellent and professional service to my clients.

Both times that I needed advice on how best to proceed with my mortgage options, you were not only there, you exceeded my expectations by providing a solution that made sense and saved me money in an uncertain marketplace. That’s a good way to turn a new client into a repeat client.

It was a pleasure working with you. Your knowledge of the industry and product offering was invaluable and helped us in making an informed decision. You made the entire process simple, efficient, and painless and obtained a rate we could not have achieved on our own. You are the consummate professional and I will continue to refer you to my friends and family.

As a first time homebuyer I was looking for an expert mortgage broker who could guide me through the experience of a home purchase without anxiety and unnecessary hassle. I was really impressed by Mark’s professional knowledge and ability to explain in detail the various types of mortgages that were available to me. He also spent a lot of time helping me choose the mortgage which best suited my needs. Because of his strong affiliation with many major financial institutions, Mark was able to get me an incredibly competitive rate, which translated into major savings. I had a truly positive experience with everyone at Get A Better Mortgage Inc. and felt all along that I was being provided sound advice.

I am a first-time home buyer and Pam was able to walk me through the process every step of the way. She took the time to explain unfamiliar components of obtaining a mortgage. She was very responsive to my emails and was able to search extensively to provide me with a great rate. I would highly recommend to friends and family. Thank you Get a Better Mortgage and Pam for the great experience I had.

I cannot get over how amazing of an experience I had with Get a Better Mortgage. As a first time homebuyer, they worked with me to give me the best deal and guided me step by step through the process. They explained everything thoroughly and worked according to my needs. They were incredibly timely and truly got me a better mortgage. I worked particularly with Pamela Woods and she did an absolutely fantastic job. Thank you Get a Better Mortgage for making my first home purchase such an great and exciting experience!

We worked with Allan at GBAM on the mortgage for our first house. The entire experience was such a pleasure as new home buyers. He was able to work with us and explain and take the time with ALL of our questions. He took the time to find us the best deal and we would highly recommend him and the team at GBAM. They really cared for us and would utilize them in the future again

We've worked with Hector Lopez twice. The first time was as a first time home buyer and the second time was to refinance. Hector was excellent to deal with. He was prompt with responding to all phone calls, texts and emails. He provided us with several options, always keeping our best interests at heart. If you want someone who doesn't waste your time and will get the job done, Hector is the man to call. We look forward to working with him again on our new home purchase.

Working with Hector Lopez was the worst decision I made in my first time home buyers' journey. I was provided with a pre-approval certificate from Hector on the property I wanted to buy after sharing my down payment and financials. My offer was accepted on April 19. Hector ignored my calls, texts and emails for over a month, failing to provide any meaningful updates. In one instance I called the receptionist at this brokerage requesting a call back because he was just not replying. On the evening of May 31st (mortgage stress test rules changed June 1st making it more difficult to qualify for a mortgage) Hector called me and ever so casually told me that I needed to come up with a significantly higher down payment in order to secure the property and not lose the down payment I had already put down. He expressed no empathy, no apology whatsoever for his lack of professionalism that put me in the worst imaginable position for a first time homebuyer. He used a variety of personal excuses to justify his lack of communication and professionalism. My only advice out of this horrible experience should you decide to work with him is have a back up, insist on full transparency, set strict timelines and expectations from the start and don’t trust the so called ‘professionalism’ because there is none working with him. The business development manager and managing partner at Get a Better Mortgage contacted me to get an understanding of the situation. I shared emails, texts and that turned out to be a waste of time because at this point I had under 2 weeks to secure a mortgage and all I got was hollow excuses and explanations on the work Hector had done. Ultimately, my story has a happy ending I ended up getting a mortgage with Scotiabank working with one of their mortgage specialists. There are people in the mortgage industry that care - Hector isn’t one of them.
