You need a mortgage? You need an unbiased expert advice? You've found the right person in Jacquie Bushell !!!

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Jacquie Bushell for my mortgage needs, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with her professionalism, knowledge and desire to help. She took the time to listen to my personal situation, my financial situation and my goals in order to tailor a perfect mortgage plan.

Throughout the process, Jacquie's professionalism and responsiveness stood out. She was thorough in explaining all the details, patiently answering my questions (and I had many!), ensuring I felt confident in every decision made. She made sure I understood my options and that I was fully aware of what to expect. Jacquie promptly answers your calls and emails.

We have been dealing with Jacquie for 14 years now. She is hands down the best. Even if she’s not actively searching for a mortgage for you she will give you the best advice possible on renewals, refinancing or money in general. She has saved me money at every turn and helped me make sound financial decisions almost my entire adult life. Thanks Jacquie!!!
