Annie recently helped us with our financing on our new home. She is very professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. It was our first time buying a home and Annie was always patient and open to all of our questions. I would recommend her to any and all friends and family!!!

I have worked with Annie at Peak to Peak twice in the last five years. The first was in obtaining a mortgage as a first-time home buyer. Not only did she help me navigate all of the details that I had no previous experience with, but she helped me with a mortgage that was quite a bit more than what I was pre-approved for. The second was in re-financing my mortgage. Throughout both of these circumstances, Annie was very responsive, professional, friendly, and went over and above with extras to make the experience that much easier. I definitely recommend her!

How do we begin? My wife and I were first time home buyers. In the past we had gone to our bank looking to buy a home. We had zero debt, an excellent credit rating and 20% to put down on a townhouse, yet the banks would only approve us for maybe enough to try to purchase a “room” in our city. A friend recommended me to go to see Annie. This has been one of the best decisions we have ever made. Needless to say we are now proud homeowners of a 3 bedroom, 2,5 bathroom townhouse in downtown Squamish and we have never made it without her. Annie is very knowledgeable, genuine, warm, engaging, experienced and trustworthy, always available to answer our questions and never made us feel like we were bothering her. We highly recommend Annie!

We recently purchased a Townhouse in Victoria and got our financing through Annie. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and can help you navigate the mrotgage application process as quickly & efficiently as possible. Our experience was great and we would recommend Annie to any of our family, friends and anyone else who wants to have the best experience possible with getting a mortgage

My partner and I bought our first home in February and Annie was recommended to us by our realtor. Annie was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. She took a huge amount of stress out of buying our first home and I'm very grateful to have had her help. She is very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and went above and beyond for us at the last minute to fix a mistake I made that nearly cost us our cash-back offer on our mortgage. She was also very responsive, which was extremely helpful when we had to make important decisions under time pressure. I highly recommend Annie.

We had heard of Annie through recommendations and she totally exceeded expectations. This was our first house and she was very helpful in explaining the whole process and helping us get approved. She shopped around and found us a great rate and made sure that we were on top of all our documents, even helping us with unconventional income statements (student, sole proprietor). She made the whole house buying process much easier and we would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a good broker.

Annie came highly recommended to us from our Realtor and we couldn't of been happier with her services. She was always available when we had questions and we truly felt as though she was in our corner as we navigated the purchase of our first home. Anybody who is considering a mortgage broker in the area would be well advised to reach out to her. She seriously makes magic happen! Thank you so much Annie!

My partner and I had the pleasure of using Annie as a mortgage broker for our first home. This was probably the most stressful time in our home buying experience, but it was made substantially easier by having a great mortgage broker.Annie was very responsive in answering questions and helping calm our nerves as deadlines closed in. She was super knowledgeable and approachable at all steps.We selected Annie based on her great reviews online, and are happy to say that they are all accurate! We are so lucky to have her in the sea to sky area!

Annie was the broker on a recent mortgage project. She did a phenomenal job over several months - always available, answered numerous questions and sorted out the many issues and challenges along the way. Best mortgage broker I have ever worked with - hands down. Highly recommend.

Annie, at Peak to Peak Mortgage, was an exceptional partner for our mortgage refinancing and Home Equity Loan needs. Annie was informative, available, responsive, and exceeded our expectations. The rates she negotiated were excellent. We have worked with several brokers in the past, and none have compared to the level of service and professionalism we received from Annie. I couldn't recommend a better broker!

I cannot say enough about Annie and how amazing she was throughout the entire process of purchasing our first home. From start to finish she was by our side and always available to answer all our questions. As a first time home buyer things can be overwhelming, but Annie made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. She worked so incredibly hard to help make our purchasing dreams come true and I can't imagine having gone through this process without her guidance and support.

This was our first time buying a home in Canada as we are new to the country. Annie was recommended to us as a good person to help us on our journey and we are so very thankful for that recommendation. Not only is Annie prompt and professional, she took the time to make sure we understood every step of the process and answered all of our questions. She made us feel confident and comfortable with the process and our investment. We feel like Annie went above and beyond to get us into a home we love and she will be the first person we call if we ever decide to move.

She was fantastic both times!It definitely felt like she had our best interests in mind during any decisions that needed to be made. We got a great rate too! Any questions were answered promptly and thoroughly. Annie helped facilitate communications with everyone involved as well - the bank, home assessment, lawyers, etc.Would highly recommend her services for anyone in the market for a new mortgage, renewal, or refinance!Thanks Again Annie!!

How could I describe my experience with Annie? I have never seen her and only met her via an email. She is calm, professional, fast, patient, and target oriented. I would say my situation might not be easy, however she got enough to solve the case. It was a great choice, and it led me a great outcome. I read other's reviews about Peak to Peak Mortgage in Google, and I was able to feel empathy and fully understand what they would like to express about, is because that is true. Thanks to Annie.

Had a great experience working with Annie. She was always very responsive by email, text or phone call and we appreciated that she was happy to do things electronically which suited us. She locked in our interest rate the night before interest rates rose, we are very pleased with our experience with Annie and highly recommend her

We used Annie from Nelson, never met her in person, but she came highly recommended to us. Annie was incredibly helpful and made herself available to us any time by phone and by email, explained the entire mortgage process to us (no question was too stupid, we were first time home buyers), and most importantly got us a great deal.10/10 would get mortgage again.

Annie has been amazing to deal with! She has gone above and beyond what we expected and helped us secure our first mortgage at a great rate.

I am a Real Estate Agent since 2009 that has had opportunity to work with different mortgage brokers . Annie stands out for her patience, professionalism, knowledge... such a reliable mortgage broker . It has been a pleasure working with her and I hope to have many transactions in the future together.I first heard of her from my clients that have a corporation and it was very hard for them to get approved, but she did an amazing job that was not possible for other mortgage brokers .

We came to Annie after she was highly recommended to us, and it was one of the best decisions we made! This was our first time purchasing a house so she was very patient and explained/answered any questions we had (and there were a lot of them)! She was quick to communicate with us and didn't hesitate to pick up the phone or go the extra mile to make sure this worked for us. She was also flexible in meeting us to accommodate our crazy work schedules. Her warm, kind nature made us feel very comfortable to trust her with this task; there was never a doubt in our minds that she wasn't fully invested in making this work for us! And, if it wasn't for her battling for us (something I'm sure a bank wouldn't have worked so hard for) we would not have been able to get the house we wanted! She did an incredible job and we will be using her in the future. Thank you, Annie - we will be telling everyone we know about you!

Annie is truly one of a kind. She puts all of her heart and soul into making sure the “mortgage experience” is as stress free as possible. The purchase of my home is without a doubt, the biggest investment of my life. From the pre approval process to the closing date, Annie was communicative, honest, and I felt confident that her relationships with the various lenders, product knowledge and genuine desire to act in my best interest, secured me the lowest interest for the mortgage term I was looking for.Annie made this process as seamless as possible. It is obvious that her many years of experience as a mortgage broker, combined with her sincere desire to find an approval for me, allowed me the exact mortgage product and term I was looking for, in addition to the lower 5 year rate in marketplace.My experience with Annie is one that I love to share with others as she made what can be a very stressful process simple, efficient and she helped me solidify the lowest monthly mortgage payment possible for the next 5 years.Thanks Annie, you are the truly the best at what you do and a gift to all that know you.
