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!

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.
