“She explained everything and educated us about the biggest purchase of our lives!” – Jesus Rivera & Anne Buxton (September 2018)

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.

Elaine Peligren from Dominion Lending was recommended to me from a family member who had worked with her from many years.  When I first came to Elaine, I had a zero credit score because I came from overseas.  Without a credit score, it was absolutely impossible for me to get a mortgage.  From the get-go, Elaine was so cordial and welcoming, that I immediately felt that I could trust her.  Elaine’s many years of expertise in the mortgage field proved to be an extremely valuable asset for me and her advice on how to build a credit score turned out to be exactly what I needed.  Under Elaine’s guidance, I was able to build a very satisfactory credit rating over time.  When I finally found the property that my wife and I were looking for, there was not a bank around that was not willing to give me a mortgage.  This fact enabled me to get a really super fixed rate on my mortgage, with many variations enabling me to pay down my mortgage whenever I have extra cash.

It was so exciting to work with Dominion Lending Vanisle and Elaine Peligren’s trustworthy knowledge.  Elaine knows the ins and outs of the fine print of home mortgages, and under her management, it was so easy to find my way through the maze and now I own my own home! –  My dream of many years has finally come true!  I would highly recommend Dominion Lending Vanisle and Elaine Peligren for anyone – I’m sure that she will have good counsel on how to help reach the goal of home ownership.

I don’t know how we  would make it through our house build without Elaine and the staff at Dominion Lending. We are  self-employed small business owners building our dream house. Without their help we would have given up a long time ago. Not only did Elaine  help with the financing she got the best rate I have seen anywhere. Elaine is a true professional and I will be dealing with her anytime I get a chance. I have since recommended Elaine to friends and they have the same feelings.
Thanks again Elaine.

After speaking with Elaine on the phone our appointment was booked promptly. Our goal was a quick mortgage renewal. Elaine was very efficient and organized which made the process go quickly. We even were able to acquire the best mortgage rate with the financial institution we preferred to deal with. Elaine’s professional and friendly manor made the whole experience very easy. We have and will continue to recommend her to friends and family.
