There are generally two ways to get a mortgage in Canada: From a bank or from a licensed mortgage professional.
While a bank only offers the products from their particular institution, licensed mortgage professionals send millions of dollars in mortgage business each year to Canada's largest banks, credit unions, trust companies, and financial institutions; offering their clients more choice, and access to hundreds of mortgage products! As a result, clients benefit from the trust, confidence, and security of knowing they are getting the best mortgage for their needs.
Whether you're purchasing a home for the first time, taking out equity from your home for investment or pleasure, or your current mortgage is simply up for renewal, it's important that you are making an educated buying decision with professional unbiased advice.
Elaine Peligren was recommended to us by a well known Nanaimo realtor who had first-hand knowledge of Elaine’s success stories from feedback with his many clients who had dealt with her. We took his advice and asked her to help us with an extremely challenging mortgage application. She took on the challenge with enthusiasm and always gave us hope that she would succeed, knowing there were many hurdles to overcome. After a lot of very hard work and investigating every possible for us, she put together a mortgage that fit us and found ways to “make it happen”. To this day, I consider her to be a “mortgage miracle worker”! Even after all the dust had settled, and we were in our new home, three months later she suggested we come into her office and put together a letter asking CMHC to review our file and consider a rebate due to unusual circumstances in our situation. She helped us with the letter and we were successful in receiving that rebate. She leaves no stone unturned and does everything in a timely manner, even if it means she has to work on the weekend or into the night. She is there to help, and we really felt as though she cared about us. We can’t thank her enough for holding our hands through a very scary process and making it all look so easy. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to find the very best service and mortgage deal out there. Her integrity and proficiency are second to none in the mortgage world. We consider to have found more than a great mortgage broker, but also a good friend in Elaine Peligren.

Dennis and I wish to thank you for the excellent service you provided us acting as our Mortgage Broker. Elaine took the time to explain things in a way we could understand which no bank had ever done for us in the past. We were most impressed not only with your professionalism and knowledge but also at your perseverance in finding us the best available mortgage rate available, saving us considerable time, and money, and how quickly it was all completed. We look forward to recommending your services to anyone considering a mortgage, and would definitely use you again.

“I can’t say enough about the amazing service we received from Elaine. From the start, her and her brilliant staff treated us like family. She got us over, well, too many obstacles to list, and was unstoppable when it came to doing whatever she could to help this newly engaged couple get into their own home.”

We would like to thank Elaine Peligren for all her efforts to help us get a mortgage. Elaine’s bright pleasant attitude made the process appear to be simple. She explained the process for us from beginning to end so there were no surprises.
We are settled into our new house and we often speak about how “painless” the process was because of Elaine’s great customer service and her positive attitude.

“During what was an exceedingly stressful time for me, Elaine was extremely helpful, professional, knowledgeable and efficient, right through to the end. Given I do not reside on Vancouver Island, Elaine accommodated my shift work and physical location always having my best interest in mind.
To say she put my mind at ease through the whole process, is an understatement. I would use her again in a heart beat and
would highly recommend her to anybody looking to mortgage or refinance.”
