A few months ago my husband and I were just starting to look at the possibility of buying our first home. It can be an overwhelming process to start, especially with the market being what it is. Rich proved to be an exceptional guide, with unending patience and thoughtful answers to our countless questions, he walked us through each step of the process. The Tekamar team went above and beyond, working tirelessly within a tight deadline to help us secure our dream home. Now happily settled, we cannot recommend their outstanding service enough. Their dedication and professionalism are truly unparalleled.I don’t often write reviews but I want to share the exceptional experience I had with Tom and Tekamar Mortgages.

I don’t often write reviews but I want to share the exceptional experience I had with Tom and Tekamar Mortgages. Right from the first phone call to our last communication, Tom was clear and precise in answering questions, finding answers, helping us through the documentation phase, and even smoothing out signing of the documents. He was always prompt in returning my calls and answering my emails. Tom was there every step of the way until close. And he negotiated a better mortgage than one of the big banks! Whether this is your first mortgage or like us, your sixth, do yourself a favor and give Tom a call.My fiancée and I were shopping around for mortgages and tried Tekamar on a recommendation from a friend.

My fiancée and I were shopping around for mortgages and tried Tekamar on a recommendation from a friend. They got us a much better rate than even our banks were willing to give us with a loyalty discount and we now live happily in our new home. Amie was the lead contact for us and she was fantastic. As first time home buyers, we didn’t really know what we were doing but Amie, Rich, and the Tekamar team took time to walk us through every step and explain it all. I cannot say enough good things about our dealings with Amie and how easy she made the process for us. I look forward to dealing with them again in 5 years when it’s time to renew.Got the job done without stress. Also gave good suggestions for other people as part of the house buying process and all of those people also seemed great.

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. Ray and Marilyn MunsieRich at Tekamar was the absolute best.

(and a couple dozen more)Getting a mortgage without a broker, is a bit like DIY dentistry

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.
