When my partner and I started looking to buy our first home together we knew we wanted to find someone who would take the time to talk with us since I was a first buying a home and I really didn’t know were to start. Knowing how stressful the process can be we got in touch with Rich and Amie at Tekamar Mortgages and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. Their team supported us, explained our options clearly, guided/clarified anything we were unsure of or didn’t understand and kept us updated with everything we needed to have ready make our dream home happen. They worked above and beyond considering our very tight timeline, while still making sure we felt secure in our decisions and getting everything thing in place to make it happen. We are beyond grateful to the Tekamar Team and we would highly recommend them to anyone.This was a second opportunity to work with Tekamar Mortgages Ltd. Several years ago Tekamar Mortgages Ltd.

This was a second opportunity to work with Tekamar Mortgages Ltd. Several years ago Tekamar Mortgages Ltd. Broker Ester Arrowsmith took on the request to put together a lender with our son, who was purchasing his first home. Ester kept our son informed all through the process, and passed on the agreement between the lending institution and himself with only signatures required. I recognized the value of an experienced broker, searching for best value for her customers's need and to top it off, everything was kept local. This summer my wife and I experienced the same customer service excellence. We found a home we wished to purchase and we went to Tekamar Mortgages Ltd for help. I was directed to Tom Arrowsmith and explained the situation. He gave us clear direction on what we needed to provide to help him with our purchase. Tom's experience as to how the Lender's bundle services together, helped us compile a package between mortgage and line of credit. We found a lender we hadn't even considered, who met with us in our home to finalize the document's signing. Again, Tom followed up with myself on each step of the process, with a quick text, or email, and at the final stage, personal phone calls. My wife and I are grateful for the Tekamar Mortgages Ltd team. Thank you for helping our family again. Pat and Donna Doorn, Enderby, BCI had a superb experience with Tekamar and it's entire staff. They were prompt, accurate, and friendly at every turn. Impeccable with their word is the best way to describe this outstanding company!!

I cannot adequately express my gratitude to everyone at Tekamar for their assistance with the purchase of our new home in Airdrie, Alberta. Just about everything that could go wrong during the process did go wrong beginning with the bank where we have been customers for over 50 years refused to help us with bridge financing after telling us that they would and so we committed to buying the house. We were sitting there with our necks out a mile and the bank did not care one iota. Enter Rich Smith at Tekamar. He was up front about the additional costs and fees and while I was not thrilled, at least I knew that there was a way out of our predicament. Through the entire process, Rich was extremely professional, comforting us at every stage and ensuring us that everything was under control and they could and would help us. Amie in the office was pure gold, always meeting us with a smile whenever we entered. When my printer/scanner broke down, Amie copied and scanned countless documents to multiple lawyers in Alberta for us. At the end of the day, the additional fees were so worth it. We wish that we had just gone through Tekamar to begin with. Now that we are settling into our home in Airdrie and expecting to receive the money from the sale of our home, we are so very grateful to our new friends back in Salmon Arm. Tekamar, you saved us and if we can help you in any way, please do not hesitate to call us.

We just purchased our second home through Tekamar and we would hands down reccomend Tom and Richard! Everything was very straight forward and thorough! They really go the extra mile working behind the scenes and are very knowledgeable! We had a private sale this time around and they were so helpful through the whole process! We had a very fast deadline and they made it all work! Tom also was able to get us an even lower interest rate then what we started with so all around happy!Tekamar responded quickly to any question we had about attaining a mortgage. They worked hard to find me the best product and I was very pleased with the final result for sure!

(and a couple dozen more)Getting a mortgage without a broker, is a bit like DIY dentistry
Sure you could pull the tooth out yourself, but having a dentist would probably help.
Getting advice from a mortgage broker means making the right plan today, so you can start working towards your mortgage-free tomorrow.

Helping people beat the banks since 1979.
Tekamar Mortgages has been based in Salmon Arm, BC since 1979. In that time we've worked with thousands of people across Canada.
We built our business on repeat customers. The plan was simple: treat every customer like somone we'd like to work with again and again until they were mortgage free, then make a plan to get them there. Nearly half a century later and so far it has worked.
95% of Tekamar's customers returned for their second, third and even fourth mortgages. We're pretty proud of that, and would love the opportunity to show you why so many people trust us with one of their biggest decisions.
