I recently had the pleasure of working with Tekamar Mortgages, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. My wife and I had been searching for our first home for the past few years, and once we found it we knew it would take a bit of creativity to get a mortgage. Tekamar was able to put together an option that worked out great for us! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a mortgage.I must say that I was completely satisfied with my experience at Tekamar.

I must say that I was completely satisfied with my experience at Tekamar. They were very knowledgeable and helped walk me through every step which was much appreciated as I was first time home buyer. Tom and the team were excellent in every regard. I appreciated that they let me know what to expect and kept me informed throughout the process.Always had time to answer our many questions, they know what they're doing and didn't mind me doing my own research and bugging them with questions afterwards.
Dealing with Tekamar Mortgages was a pleasure! Not only did they get me the LOWEST rate, their service was FREE and FAST! Thanks again!

Saw the 5 star reviews and decided to go with Tekamar over our Big Bank when we were looking into our first home. It was the best decision. Right from the first meeting Tom and Ester felt like family. The process was unexpectedly smooth and stress free with their steady hands helping us along. I would 100% recommend Tekamar. Just days before closing, Tom went out of his way and wrangled us a better interest rate on top of our already low rate. Not to be underestimated- interest rates that will make the people you know jealous! Totally Satisfied!This was a second opportunity to work with 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, BCEster at Tekamar is a pleasure to work with!

Ester at Tekamar is a pleasure to work with! We were planning to just renew our mortgage with the current lender at a higher rate just to avoid any hassles. Ester contacted us before we did and was able to get us a significantly lower rate, and did all the work for us. It was probably easier than resigning out old mortgage, and we saved tons of money. Highly recommended!!A few months ago my husband and I were just starting to look at the possibility of buying our first home.

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!Dozens of people from Salmon Arm, the Shuswap and acrsoss Canada have trusted us with their mortgage in the past six months. 113 were kind enough to share their experience on the internet.

Trusted by these lenders
(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.
