We have used Jacquie five times for our mortgages and renewals. She is so thorough and explained everything … clearly. Since our first mortgage to now, the process with forms is different but even though it’s easier - Jacquie has always been available to explain the required documents. We appreciate her very much and always recommend her services.

We have been working with Jacquie for almost six years, and will cry the day she decides to retire. Jacquie is not only an excellent mortgage broker, but a good person, and her warmth and friendliness makes one of life’s most stressful processes so much easier. When our mortgage lender made an error in our renewal, Jacquie immediately contacted them (her responsiveness is incredible!) and not only did she get the error fixed, but she managed to get us an even better deal than we had originally expected. Furthermore, she’s well-connected within the real estate market and has provided several recommendations, which resulted in us finding our new realtor. I can’t say enough positive things about Jacquie, if you work with her, I guarantee you’re in good hands!

I had an outstanding experience working with Jacquie and Lisa for my mortgage renewal. From start to finish, the service was professional, efficient, and genuinely supportive. They took the time to explain every step clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made the entire process feel smooth and stress‑free. Their expertise and dedication is second to none. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional mortgage guidance.

Jacquie Bushell was absolutely exceptional throughout our entire mortgage process. From the very first conversation to final approval, she was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain every step clearly, answered all our questions (sometimes more than once!), and made what could have been a stressful experience feel organized and completely under control.

Jacquie went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible outcome, advocating for us at every stage and keeping us informed the whole way through. Her attention to detail, calm approach, and genuine care for her clients truly set her apart.

If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who is trustworthy, proactive, and truly has your best interests at heart, I cannot recommend Jacquie Bushell highly enough. We are incredibly grateful for her support and expertise.

I had an amazing experience using Jacquie Bushell for my mortgage. After a two year long divorce battle, Jacquie made it so simple to finally buy out my ex husband and I now own my house on my own! As soon as I contacted Jacquie she made everything so easy. Contacting her was so simple and everything went extremely smoothly. I had never done anything like this on my own, in regards to large financial decisions or purchases, but she answered all of my questions very quickly and was able to beat the lawyers timeframe. I would highly recommend Jacquie to anyone looking to acquire a mortgage. I will definitely use her services again in the future.

Working with Jacqui Bushell has been outstanding. As a first-time homebuyer navigating a complex process, I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable, patient, and supportive mortgage broker.

Jacqui took the time to walk us through every step. She was incredibly responsive—no matter how many stupid questions we asked—and consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything stayed on track.

She genuinely cares. She didn’t just process paperwork; she offered thoughtful guidance, and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Her professionalism, expertise, and warm personality made a huge difference.

Truly grateful for her help and would highly recommend Jacqui to anyone looking for a mortgage broker who combines deep expertise with exceptional client care.

I've had the pleasure of working with Jacquie for over 12 years, and I truly can't recommend her highly enough. She's guided me through multiple home buying and selling journeys with unwavering professionalism, deep expertise, and genuine care. Jacquie is incredibly patient—she takes the time to walk clients through every step of the process, answering questions thoroughly and calmly, no matter how complex or repetitive.

What sets Jacquie apart is her integrity. She's absolutely committed to securing the best possible rate for you, but never at the expense of what’s right for your situation. She won’t push products you don’t need, and she’ll only recommend switching to her services if it’s genuinely in your best interest. Her honesty, transparency, and client-first approach make her an exceptional mortgage broker—and a trusted partner in one of life’s biggest decisions.

We’ve reached out to Jacquie multiple times over the years for our mortgage needs — whether it was buying a new home, renewing, or transferring. She has always been incredibly friendly, honest, and supportive. Jacquie takes the time to gather every detail, does thorough research, and always provides the best, well-informed advice.

What truly sets her apart is her integrity. There have been times when she advised us not to proceed with certain actions because it wasn’t in our best interest — even though that meant all her effort went unpaid. That level of honesty and dedication is rare and deeply appreciated.

Whenever things didn’t go as we expected, Jacquie was there not just as a professional but as a genuine person — offering emotional support and thoughtful guidance with future options that kept us hopeful and motivated.

We’re truly grateful to have Jacquie as our mortgage broker and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust.

Working with Jacquie has been so smooth, whenever we have reached out to her. This is our third time asking for her assistance regarding our mortgage and we definitely plan to keep reaching out, in the future.! She is personable, really listens to you and you really can tell that she cares about her clients. I could not recommend her more!

Jacquie is the BEST person to work with you to solve your Mortgage needs. I have dealt with her for over 25 years, and everyone in my family has their mortgages booked through her, along with many friends. She is the only Mortgage Agent that I ever refer to anyone. Look no further! You have found the person that you need to help you and meet your needs.

Jacquie is a true professional. I have worked with her on multiple property mortgage renewals. Her knowledge, experience and dedication is top notch. She takes the time to explain all scenarios and answers all questions. White glove service at its finest. She loves what she does and truly cares about her clients. Plus, she is very friendly and has a great sense of humour. I wouldn't trust anyone else with these difficult decisions especially in this economy. Highly recommend.

Rosemary

We have had the absolute pleasure of working with Jacquie for many years, spanning two generations of our family. Her expertise, dedication, and genuine care have made every step of the mortgage process seamless and stress-free.

What truly sets Jacquie apart is her accessibility – she’s always just a phone call away, ready to answer questions, provide guidance, or offer reassurance whenever we need it.

Her personalized service and unwavering commitment to her clients have made her an invaluable part of our family’s journey. We couldn’t recommend Jacquie more highly to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate mortgage broker. If you have a dream, she will help make it come true!
