"Leo has always gone above and beyond to help me get the best mortgage rates for my home! When I purchased my first home, when I renegotiated my mortgage, and when I moved provinces, he was always ready to hope on a call with me to alleviate any concerns I had and answer every question. Leo went over every detail of my home purchase and the mortgage documents, ensuring that I was comfortable with the purchase and terms of my mortgage. Both Leo and Ashley were so quick with all communications and were such a pleasure to have in my corner getting me the best rates and conditions. I would wholeheartedly recommend Leo to anyone and plan on calling on his expertise when my mortgage is up for renewal!"

Thanks for everything - especially answering my constant stream of questions!

Andrea Patey

We were very impressed with Leo during the process of purchasing our home. He was very personable and kind right from the beginning. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us when explaining the home buying process. He really took the time to explain everything which helped ease our anxiety with us being first-time home buyers. He helped us get a great mortgage that we were very happy with. Ashley was very patient and thorough as well. We would recommend Leo and Ashley to anyone looking to purchase a home, or looking for a mortgage.

Andrew Hoch and Kaitlin Powley

We really do want to thank you and Ashley with your guidance and expertise with finding the right lender and the best rate, and helping us navigate through the mortgage renewal process. In all honesty, it makes our lives so much easier to not have to worry about this process now, as well as 5 years ago.

Without hesitation we would recommend your services to others.

Ankur Chopra & Isabelle Levert-Chiasson

As first time home buyers, we had no idea where to start. Leo and his team were referred to us by some close friends, and we could immediately see why! Leo took the time to meet with us on our schedule, provide a detailed but simple overview of the mortgage shopping process, and answer all of our questions. We felt confident from the beginning that he would get us the best deal for our dream home. His communication style is clear and responsive, and it is obvious that he cares about his clients. We would definitely recommend Leo and his team to anybody who wants to simplify the home buying process. A special thank you to Ashley for making sure all of our documents were sorted out. Thank you Leo and Ashley!!

Anne Richard and Nathan Batten

Leo and Ashley's knowledge and expertise helped make the mortgage approval process effortless. They were both approachable and always willing to take the time out of their busy schedules to call and answer any questions, and they had this ability to make you feel like you were their most important client. Leo continued to work to get us the best rate up until closing and he still continues to provide excellent service months after. You can tell he cares about his clients. I will be recommending his services to anyone looking to purchase a home and I look forward to working with him many more times in the future. Thanks again Leo and Ashley!

Anthony Di Perno

'Leo gave us great insight into the mortgage market and empowered us to make the right decision for our family. He was always responsive and took the time to answer all of our questions.' Thanks for you hard work!

Ben Mazereeuw and Mariel Kaine

Thank you so much for all of your support throughout the process of getting the mortgage. We especially appreciate the help towards the end of the process when the chaos started to escalate. We are thankful for all of your knowledge and assistance in helping me feel empowered to get into the housing market for the first time. I’ve had quite a few beautiful evenings looking out towards the mountains on my balcony and I couldn’t have done it without your help.

Bradley Hamilton

Choosing Leo as our Mortgage Agent was one of the best decisions we could have made. As first time home buyers we really didn't know the in's and out's of the mortgage world or what we should even be looking for. Leo met with us multiple times to explain everything in detail and couldn't have been easier to talk to. He answered all of our questions and made sure we were comfortable with the process along the way. When the time finally came to put in an offer on our home, Leo made himself available right away to discuss the specifics with us and ensure we were taken care of. He worked with us to make certain we knew all of our options in terms of different mortgages available and reviewed in detail the mortgage option we ultimately settled on. It was truly a seamless process. I wouldn't hesitate to refer him to friends or family.

Brandon Nussey & Heather Ogilvie

The new mortgage is working out just fine. Thank you for Ashely’s and your help.

As for insights, keep up with what you and your team are doing. Flawless. Quick to respond to my concerns, a patient listener as well, and I love the fact that you don’t assume that the Bank will process the application and account(s) in a timely fashion. Ashley’s follow-up with Scotia Bank was more dependable then the Scotia Rep. They should be paying her their percentage of the deal.

Thanks again. We will definitely recommend you to our friends and colleagues.

Cheers.

Brian and Kelly.

Brian and Kelly Briere

It was a real pleasure to work with Leo and Ashley to secure our recent mortgage. Leo was attentive to our needs, thorough in his explanations and always available to answer our questions. Ashley was well organized and readily able to synthesize required documents. Both Leo and Ashley were very personable and easy to deal with. I highly recommend them when you need a mortgage!

Catherine Airth

I want to thank you and Ashley for all the work you devoted to the messy, complicated purchase of our home. (first time around and now)

Wish you all the best, take care and thanks again.

Christine Gervais

My husband and I both highly recommend Leo as a mortgage broker. As we navigated an uncertain and stressful mortgage renewal, Leo was a beacon of helpful information. He provided us with steady and reliable advice that helped us to feel calm and confident in the choices that we were making. He provided us with realistic options when we believed that we didn’t have any. It was truly a pleasure working with Leo!

Claire and Jason Prevost

Our experiences with Leo and his team are always pleasant. They are very reliable, knowledgeable and eager to help us out. We’ve been working with them since the purchase of our first home, and we will continue to contact Leo with any future mortgage questions and renewals.

Cory & Michelle Bresee

Thank you very much for all of your help and hand holding during this process. We deeply appreciate your efforts and patience with us. We now have a much deeper appreciation for all of the hoops of fire and various other obstacles you all must encounter and/or traverse.

Also, to be fair, every client that you provide service to is a unique situation. With that said, we feel that given our unique scenario, you both provided great insight and service where possible. I wouldn't change a thing on your end of things. Nonetheless, we will most definitely spread the word for that's the best advertising in my opinion.

Curtis O'Neil

I was referred to Leo by a friend, and he and Ashley were amazing. They took the pressure off during the move, and their system was easy to work with. When confirming the mortgage with my bank, the bank teller asked how I got such a great rate! I recommend Leo and his team to anyone who wants/needs a mortgage.

David Pierce

"Leo was very helpful throughout the process, it was my first time buying, and Leo helped me understand everything about how mortgages work, I felt very confident making decisions with all the information I got. I would definitely recommend and use Leo's service again"

Dr. Hesham Ads

Leo was great to work with and as first time homebuyers, we felt we were in good hands. He took the time to answer all of our questions and empower us with knowledge so that we could make decisions that made sense for our circumstances. We'd recommend Leo to our friends and family!

Emily Clark and Phil Kidd

We would highly recommend Leo and Ashley to anyone looking to obtain a mortgage. They were instrumental in helping secure our first mortgage and once again in 2020 as we renewed our mortgage. Leo was patient as we explained our situation and plans for the future. He took care and consideration to adopt a mortgage that worked best for us. They are always available to give us updates and answer any questions. Their knowledge of the market and the overall mortgage industry was vital in helping us get the best rate for our mortgage. We look forward to working with them again!

Emma & Matt Krupovich

As first time home buyers, we weren't exactly sure what to expect and were a little overwhelmed with the process. Luckily for us, Leo and his team were able to assist us every step of the way. Right from our first meeting Leo was kind and knowledgeable, easily able to answer any questions we had. He got us a great rate and was there with us right through closing to ensure smooth transition. To this day, Leo maintains contact with us to make sure all is going well. We could not have asked for a better experience and recommend Leo & his team to everyone we know at every chance we get. Thanks again!!

Eric & Erica Seguin

Eric and Erica Seguin

Leo Maiorino and his team provided us with top notch service while putting together our mortgage. Leo is the ultimate straight shooter who can boil down complex calculations and detailed information with ease. His experience and insight were invaluable and we could not have been more impressed with his process. We would recommend Leo to anyone!

Geoffrey Makhoul & Sarah Martin

As for the service you provided, we are extremely happy with how everything worked out. All of the information was provided to us concisely and in a timely manner and there weren't any surprises. Both you and Ashley were very responsive to any emails or calls that Andrea and I had.

Since buying our home a number of friends and family have reached out about suggested services to help get the ball rolling to purchase a home and we have been referring you to them.

Graham Falt & Andrea Palmieri

From the outset, Leo and his team brought a calm and sensible approach to my search for a mortgage, coincidentally just as the Ottawa market had started to go crazy with bidding wars, bully bids, listings selling well over asking etc. As a first time buyer, it was easy to feel overwhelmed with the multitude of mortgage offerings available. Leo's vast knowledge, experience and familiarity with all of the various mortgage options allowed me to me focus on the elements that were most important to my situation, lifestyle, budget and future considerations. At no time did I ever feel pressured to select a certain product. Leo never lost patience or faith in me being able to find the right fit. He and his assistant were always reachable and available, often on short notice. In the end, Leo secured a mortgage with a very attractive rate and flexible options. I am extremely satisfied with the professional service, guidance, and solutions that I received from Leo and his team.

Greg Kingsbury

Leo and Ashley were highly responsive, agile and informative throughout the entire process. Would not hesitate to recommend them to others

Jeff and Cindy Wong

Leo is incredibly approachable, knowledgeable and understanding. He was easy to get in touch with both for our initial meeting,and to schedule subsequent meetings, or simply to ask questions. He and his staff take the stress out what can be a very stressful experience. Leo's calm confidence helps you to feel calm and confident in the biggest purchase you'll ever make.

Jessica and Corey Whitney

"We can't say enough good things about Leo, Ashley and their team. From the very beginning, they made the daunting process of securing a mortgage feel like a breeze. Their professionalism, friendliness, and tech-savvy approach made all the difference. What truly stood out to us was their commitment to using technology to streamline the process. They made everything so convenient, from quick email communications, document submissions to virtual meetings. They answered all of our questions, addressed any concerns, and made sure we felt comfortable with every decision we had to make. Their dedication to providing excellent customer service is truly commendable. They are the best in the business, and we wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in search of their perfect home financing solution."

Jodi and Quang

Leo and Ashley provided us with the absolute best service. They are incredibly diligent, patient and commutative which made purchasing our home so much easier. Buying a home can be such a stressful endeavor, but Leo and Ashley made it so easy for us to understand all aspects of the process. They have our highest recommendation!"
Joe and Brittany

Joe and Brittany Richard

Katie & I just received your Christmas card & brownies today. Thank you very much! And of course, thank you for the always-exemplary service we received from you & Ashley during our home buying process. You made everything easy & took as much of the stress out of the process as possible. Since my first home purchase 5 years ago, I have never hesitated to recommend you to friends & colleagues, and we both will continue to do so in the future.

Jon Pellow and Katie McWilliams

“We worked with Leo and Ashley for a mortgage on our new home and had a great experience. Leo was very present and helped us to make sure we had a good idea of what our limit was when looking for houses. He would check in as we were searching to see how it was going and answered any questions we had such as how bridge loans work or anything like that. Once we found our house, Leo and Ashley were very organized and helped us get through all of the paperwork without overwhelming us with everything else going on! They always made themselves available when we had questions and were always very prompt in getting back to us. We had a great experience and would highly recommend Leo and his team for your mortgage needs!”

Thanks again so much for all your help, we really appreciate it!

Julia Weber and Adam Laubenbacher

You make buying homes easy!

Yourself and Ashley are a pleasure to work with and you would be the first person I would recommend friends and family to for professional guidance and financial advice on how and when the best time to buy or remortgage their home would be.

I always know you have your clients interests as your top priority and that is reflected in your day to day friendly professional advice and conversations.

Kevin and Mallory Lamer

Leo was amazing to work with! He was an excellent guide through a complicated process, and made buying our first home a pleasure. I would recommend him and his team without reservation.

Kordan and Elizabeth Harvey

My wife and I reached out to Leo when buying our first home because he was recommended by a friend (who had also been given his name by another mutual friend) and we’re very glad we did. Not only did he and his team make the whole process smooth and easy to understand (even though it was all new to us), and got us an unexpected lower rate between signing and closing, but he also looked out for us in a couple of small but important ways. We were planning to buy without a realtor (as first time homebuyers, we didn’t know what we didn’t know), and without being at all pushy, he helped us understand what the downsides of that approach might be, and introduced us to a realtor he trusted to talk through the options, no obligations, just a conversation. He also made sure that our lawyer was on top of the vacancy fee declaration with the City of Ottawa, and that we understood it. All in all, we would not hesitate to recommend Leo as a mortgage broker and will definitely work with him again if we ever buy another home.

Kristin

Kristin Fardy and Monica Granados

"It was so easy to work with Leo and Ashley on the financing for our first home! As first time buyers his knowledge was so crucial in helping us make informed decisions about our mortgage and the home-buying process overall. Both Leo and Ashley were super quick and proactive communicating with us through the whole process. We were referred to him through a friend, and I wouldn't hesitate to refer to him to anyone!"

Leah Morrell and Nigel Noble-Hearle

Linda Boudreau

I was referred to Leo from a family member. I had had some discouraging news from a previous mortgage broker. Leo was able to not only secure my mortgage but give me my confidence back. Between Ashley and him, I in a few short weeks was back on track with everything in my name amd ready to go. They were both so helpful and informative to all my questions and concerns. I highly recommend them and will refer and talk them up whenever I can.

Louise Woodland

Leo and Ashley were super friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. As a first time home buyer, I had so many questions which they always answered quickly and with clarity making the whole process comfortable and as stress-free as possible. I would recommend them to anyone!! Maddy

Madison Thicke

Leo and his team have helped us during the purchase of our first condo and again most recently when we found our first house. Leo was extremely helpful in guiding us through a process that was entirely new to us the first time around, and this time aided us in finding creative strategies in order to purchase our dream home. We would highly recommend Leo to anyone looking to buy!

Marc Vincent & Brooke Zacharuk

In regards to your service, I can only say good things. You and Ashley make a great team. I felt supported every step of the way during the mortgage process.

Marie-Jose Drisdelle

As first time homebuyers we were very unfamiliar with the intricacies of the mortgage application process or the products available to us. This coupled with the tight real estate market in Ottawa made the prospect of finally buying a home quite daunting. Initially we worked with a major bank but found that they were slow in responding, did not explain all of our options or really provide any sort of real customer service. We left the bank feeling disillusioned and a bit hopeless. Then we were introduced to Leo and his team by a family friend.

From the first pone call with Leo our hope was restored. Not only was Leo exceptionally knowledgeable but he explained all of our options and the process itself in plain language. Leo demystified the process and gave us his honest and timely advice. Leo also ensured that we didn’t just get pre-approved for the highest amount but what we could actually afford. Because of Leo and his team we were able to take the first steps to securing not just our first home as homeowners but our forever home.

I would not hesitate to recommend Leo and his team and we will most certainly be working with Leo again when our mortgage comes up for renewal.

Matt & Sarah MacGowan

Leo, my experience with you both was wonderful from the start. Your patience with my questions when I was doing research on mortgages and affordability was the reason I chose you to continue working with when I was ready to pursue my mortgage. I'm thrilled with the interest rate that I got and I know that was because you kept an eye out for me and kept applying for the lower rate! You were there quickly and professionally through the whole (extended) process and I felt very safe and secure knowing you were behind me and the whole endeavor. Your recommendation over to Frank was also greatly appreciated, he was a wonderful agent to work with and I know it was a total team effort that got me into my very first home! (Oh and thank you for the Brownies! They were delicious and some of my first mail at the condo!)

I would be happy to be a reference for you if ever you need one and I've already handed out your name to a few friends that are looking into mortgages and better service from their brokers.

You and Ashley were wonderful!

Thank you again and wishing your whole family and team a wonderful and busy 2021!

Megan Tomkinson

We are very appreciative of the guidance and honesty that Leo and his team provided us as we ventured into the purchase of our new home. All our questions were answered in a timely manner and with care. Leo also took the time necessary to fully understand our needs in order to ensure the best outcome for our family.

Melodee & Dominic Doiron

As first-time homeowners, Leo made the process very easy for us. He was patient in his explanations, and it really felt like he had our best interests in mind - offering his knowledge and opinions along the way. We felt overwhelmed by our lack of knowledge before meeting and working with Leo, but he did a great job of informing us (in simple terms, as this was all new to us) of all that we needed to know to feel comfortable and confident moving forward. He was always quick to respond to emails, and never made us feel that we were being a nuisance with all of our questions (and we had many!) Overall, we had a great experience, and hope to work with Leo again in the future. Highly recommended!

Michael Kosteski & Joanne MacDonald

“Leo and Ashley guided us trough all the process and answered all our questions to get the best rates. We loved their transparency and professionalism!

Nathaly & Shawn

“This was our second time working with Leo and Ashley and they once again met our expectations. Leo has lots of experience and knowledge, and he was able to help us strategize while getting us the best rate. We also appreciated the honest and factual discussions we had while weighing our options. We have recommended others to work with Leo and Ashley and will continue to do so as they make the process easy and stress-free. -Nicky DePippo and Nick Plourde”

Your team met our expectations in getting the information we needed during the process. Thanks for all the help and discussions.

Nick Plourde and Monique De Pippo

"The process of downsizing had many moving parts for us. It meant shopping for a cottage in Calabogie at the same time we were putting our Stittstville home on the market. It involved a new mortgage but also bridge financing and many legalities which Ashley and Leo handled expertly. "

Hope this helps and I will definitely keep you in mind as my friends also downsize.

Cheers,

Leo was very helpful in finding a mortgage that worked best for me. The service he provided helped me feel comfortable and confident with the mortgage process, and ultimately that I made the right decision.

P.K.

A friend of ours recommended Leo to us and we're very glad she did. As first time home buyers we didn't know what to expect, but Leo held our hands throughout the process. He gave us great information on what would be the best to do for our mortgage and was always available to answer any questions that we had. We will definitely be working with him again.

"We were very happy with the process, working with Leo and Ashley was absolutely the least stressful part of the purchase. Everything was explained very clearly and we were able to easily weigh our options to select what we thought would be the best option for us with very sound advice from Leo regarding each option. We would happily refer them to any of our friends and family as I am sure Leo would exceed their expectations.

Sandy and Peter Mazereeuw

Thank you for the follow-up and the brownies:) We are very happy in our new home! The mortgage has been withdrawing from our account, as scheduled. Fortunately, we aren't having any issues.
Thank you again for all your help with the mortgage, it was a very smooth and easy process.

Hello Leo,

Tim and I would like thank you and Ashley for all of your hard work to make our vision reality. It was a challenging transaction with a few glitches along the way but we got there. Thank you for your perseverance and patience, we are so appreciative.

Tiffany Boire

"My real estate agent recommended Leo in a situation where we were buying a new home and becoming first time landlords of a home we almost owned. I was confused and couldn't fully grasp the most efficient and least costly way to get things done. Leo was more than patient and an absolute bank of knowledge. He made sure that I was comfortable with the set up, explained it to me thoroughly including a few face to face visits to my home to help, and found the lowest and most flexible mortgage. I have done this mortgage thing 4 or five times now, and have never felt more comfortable and confident that every one of my needs has been met. I can't thank Leo enough for the incredible service and peace of mind. Best mortgage agent working for the best mortgage broker. Kind of fitting."

Tim Morgan and Tanja Zivanovic

"Leo and Ashley provided us with excellent service. Their knowledge and advice well positioned us to make the best decision in selecting the mortgage that met our needs. They took the time to meet with us to answer any questions we had and were very patient with us throughout the process. We look forward to working with them in the future."
