I highly recommend Leanne. We just bought our first home and has been absolutely fantastic. Leanne had answers to every single one of our questions and is super patient. She walked us through step by step and really help calm my anxieties about buying. She got us a great mortgage rate. I have nothing but good things to say about Leanne, she’s amazing!

I had a fantastic experience working with Leanne Funston for my recent mortgage renewal. She was incredibly thorough in explaining all of my options and took the time to answer every question I had - and there were a lot! Her responsiveness and willingness to research details made the entire process so much easier for me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive mortgage broker!

I was purchasing a property on my own without any experience
and Leanne walked me through every step with grace and professionalism. She was very responsive and informative and sought out the answers to my questions if she didn't know off hand. She was also very patient with me as I went through the emotional rollercoaster that purchasing property can be. I am very grateful for her help and I highly recommend her.
