★★★★★ Automated but human

I loved how Homewise was fast and automated, but still provided me with great personal support and answered all my questions. Well done!

Mark S
★★★★★ Awesome experience

I was referred to Homewise by my financial advisor and had an awesome experience. I applied while sitting on my couch and was on the phone with Vince by lunchtime.

Sam
★★★★★ Helped me during Covid

They helped me with the purchase of my first home and I couldn't be happier. Since I can't see anybody in person (during COVID), I thought I would have trouble with finding someone to help with my mortgage, but the Homewise team was great & didn't skip a beat. Very fast & professional.

Lui
★★★★★ Fast, easy and helpful

I worked with my bank in the past for a mortgage and it was a really bad experience. I felt that they hid things from me. I then contacted a mortgage broker and they really didn't help me, it was just as bad. Homewise was the opposite. The online process was so fast and I was set up with an Advisor in minutes who took me each step of the way to getting a really great mortgage at a low rate. Actually providing advice I didn't know of. Overall, definitely recommending Homewise to my friends
