I had a great experience working with James to secure my mortgage. He is extremely knowledgeable and down to earth, and will take all the time you need to explain the ins and outs of mortgage agreements in a way that's easy to understand. He takes the time to thoroughly understand your interests and needs, and matches you with the options that will work best for you. The mortgage process can be intimidating. If you're confronting it for the first time, do yourself a favour and work with James. You won't regret it!

- After a long search we finally found our perfect home. Unfortunately we were in a unique financial situation. None of the regular banks would have found a way to finance our dream home purchase, but James worked hard and found a way to make it happen! His outside the box thinking and determination to get us what we needed is greatly appreciated!! Thanks for your hard work.

I came to James looking for a mortgage as a recently-divorced, self-employed mother of two. I didn't even know if I would qualify to get one. James was wonderful and so great to work with. He was patient and informative and really put me at ease. We reviewed my finances and he helped me get my ducks in order so everything would be ticketyboo on the application. He explained what type of mortgage I could get and what I couldn't, so I didn't waste time on avenues that weren't going to work for me. He outlined the advantages of different lending institutions, asked me for my thoughts, and made recommendations based on what was important to me and what would work for me. Because finding a house was taking a while, he advised against getting a pre-approval before I needed it, which was great advice (since they expire). We had all the documentation ready to go and he kept his eye on the interest rates. One day he called me to say it looked like they were heading up, so we applied right away and got a pre-approval before they did. I felt so lucky to have such great service. Because of James, not only do I have a mortgage, but I have a great one. I can't recommend him enough.

As first-time homebuyers, we felt a bit overwhelmed by the whole process, but working with James was a real pleasure. He was patient and took the time to explain everything in detail. He answered our questions very quickly and always gave us clear information we knew we were in good hands. We ended up getting a great rate, and James even managed to get it lowered a couple of times before closing. We highly recommend James to anyone looking for a competent and friendly mortgage broker. Thanks again for your help, James!

"We are so glad we worked with James on our mortgage. He worked hard to find us a mortgage product that fit our unique situation, and as first-time homebuyers, we really valued his clear, detailed explanations at every step of the way. This was especially welcome in the unprecedented housing market of 2020, and we always felt we were in good hands.

James led us through each stage of the process - he communicated with us regularly and always explained what the next step would be.
We would highly recommend him to family and friends and we look forward to working with him again in the future.

After a change in our family situation, I found myself having to take on new responsibilities as I was now purchasing a house on my own (entering foreign territory). Thankfully, James Leitch offered me the guidance and patience I really needed. He broke down the mortgage verbiage so I had working knowledge of the process and provided me with multiple options on what was right for me. I had a ton of questions and James was incredibly timely, supportive, and understanding through the entire process. After all was said and done, James reached out to see that everything was going smoothly and reminded me that should further questions/concerns arise, I should not hesitate to contact him. I am loving my new home and grateful to James for helping me get it.

- James came highly recommended from a friend who has multiple properties. My experience with James was really good. He is very informative, took the time to explain and answer my questions. He was also patient and easy going as I changed my mind a couple times on how I was going to go about the new purchase and what to do with the condo I owned. He was straight forward when something wasn't going to work. The lender was a bit demanding to work with as they kept asking for new documents but James was always on the ball and following-up closely to make sure everything would go through and on time. I will work with him again in the future. Thanks for all your help!

“Being first time home buyers, we were not familiar with mortgages or the home buying process. James made the mortgage process very easy to understand and helped to guide us throughout the whole experience. He was always available to answer our many questions and helped to secure the best possible mortgage option that met our needs. He was very personable to work with, and we felt trusted and heard through it all. I definitely recommend him to anybody looking to buy a home.”

When it came to getting a mortgage we were very lost but we were in great hands with James. He was always quick to answer any questions we had and made sure we fully understood everything. James made the process simple and we couldn't be happier with his service!

I was introduced to James in 2013 for a mortgage renewal-looking for a better rate, as my mortgagor did not give me a good rate. After talking to James, he was very informative and helped me with my options. I ended up getting a great rate and refinancing at that great rate. He made the process so easy and he was very attentive and knowledgeable. He always called me back within a few hours and or emailed to let me know when he was available. Anytime I phoned he has always been straight with me so I can make an informed decision. I have since used his services a few more times for an investment property. I am glad I met James to help me with this matter, especially since I am in Toronto and he is in Ottawa. He has made these important money matters less stressful.

I would recommend James, he is well qualified and keeps up with the changes to advise so you can make informed decisions.
I have appreciated everything that he has done for me.

"James was easy to work with and very helpful in helping me and my husband buy our first home. He answered all our questions quickly and I would recommend him in a heartbeat!"

I have worked with James on on multiple occasions for both my original mortgage and renewal. He does an excellent job of presenting the options available to you and outlining the reasons why the recommended option is the most suitable. He takes the time to make sure you understand the process each step of the way, and is always available to answer any questions. I would not hesitate to work with him again in the future. He’s a real asset in navigating the mortgage landscape, and I highly recommend him.

Our family began researching the possibility of purchasing an investment property in the spring of 2017. James Leitch was initially highly recommended and we subsequently went through with the purchase under the very patient guidance of Mr. Leitch. Every step of the process was explained in advance, viable finance options were presented with great care, without pressure. I was particularly pleased with the willingness to offer an alternate finance options and possible consequences a few months after the purchase of a real-estate property. If the opportunity were to present itself again our family would not hesitate to enlist the services of James Leitch.
