My experience with Jacquie when it came to renewing my mortgage was fantastic. She was kind efficient and was able to help me find a way to save money by consolidating some of my high interest debt with a refinance. I appreciate how she checks in from time to time and look forward to working with her again at renewal time!

Jacquie exemplifies white glove service! We are so thankful that our paths crossed with hers. Over the years she has helped us secure great rates with reputable lenders. Her knowledge, expertise and out of the box thinking has had a massively positive impact on our ability to create a stable financial future for our family. The time she takes, in advance of finding you the best mortgage, to guide and advise on how we can put ourselves in the best position, is truly invaluable. Jacquie treats her clients like family, you will not regret trusting her with your mortgage needs. We have recommended her dozens of times to friends and family and will continue to do so.

Our mortgage was up for renewal at the beginning of the summer. This is a very frightening time as rates are high and it is a lot of unknown with banks. Jacquie Bushell went above and beyond to get us the rates that we wanted. Her patience to guide my husband and I through every step helped us complete the sometimes gruelling task and still enjoy our summer holiday. Jacquie explains in great detail every step of the process and makes the difficult appear incredibly easy. I can't imagine doing it without her professionalism and support.
