I used GABM twice and they are outstanding. Their knowledge and expertise, along with analyzing my personal situation... and the current lending landscape got me to a better place. They made my qualification / home purchase process stress-free.read more

Robert called me within minutes of me reaching out to the company and answered any question I had on the phone (I had... many as a first-time home buyer). I then had Pam assist me with the remainder of the process and she was pretty much on standby for any question I needed an answer to and she was very direct with what I needed to provide to her. She was very kind, honest, and just a pleasure to deal with. Although I was approved for a mortgage with one of the big banks, I decided to go through Get A Better Mortgage because they still got me a lower interest rate than the bank and the service was way better (the bank would take days to answer a question). I didn't see a reason to go with a bank in the end. I highly recommend them. I am very grateful.read more

If I could give more stars I would! My partner and I grew up in the Etobicoke area and although we were planning on... buying a house outside the GTA, we still wanted our mortgage broker to be from our area. We had the pleasure to collaborate with Pam who worked really hard for us. I would recommend all first-time home buyers work with Pam because she was receptive to our millions of questions about the home buying process. No joke, I emailed her every day and she emailed back with a detailed and kind response. We are extremely happy with Pam and Get A Better Mortgage, and although we are settling two hours outside of Toronto, when the time comes to move onto another house you, can bet we will be calling Pam. Because my partner and I are relatively young for first-time home buyers, many mortgage brokers and mortgage agents did not take us seriously. They were condescending, insulting and made us feel so small. Pam was the total opposite. She was kind, supportive and honest. Seriously, if you are a first time home buyer, go to Get A Better Mortgage and talk to Pam! You won't regret it :)read more

Terrible experience with Pam. Wasted 2 months of our time for her to give us hope that we'd get a HELOC. Couldn't get... an appraiser in time for the closing either because she "forgot". Should be called "Don't get a mortgage"read more

We can't say enough about our 3rd (or maybe 4th) mortgage experience working with Mark and his team at GABM. As our... financing needs have evolved over time, Mark's expertise, knowledge and patience continues to impress. We are not easy clients but that doesn't seem to phase him. After evaluating many products, solutions and structures we honed in on a plan that made sense for our family and it was perfectly executed. As well, facing COVID-19 during our lock in time frame and closing added extra complexity and Mark provided sound advice and fought for our rate in a quickly evolving market. Allan packaged up the documentation to ensure that our funding was all ready for closing day even amidst the early days of the lock-down. we would have recommended the GABM team based on our first few mortgages with them but after this experience...we're totally sold. Highly recommended! Great work guys! Thanks!read more
