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.

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!!

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!

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
"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
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
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
We have dealt with Leo on many occasions over the years, his experience and caring goes beyond what is expected. During the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, Leo ensured that we received the best service in a timely manner to help us renovate our home
Nathaly & Shawn
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.
Rohanna Hossein
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.
Sarah Harb
"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."
