Even though he is specialized for first time home buyers he is equally if not more better for individuals who are either remortgaging, refinancing or renewing their mortgage. He will get you an appropriate lender at the best possible rate. He will never pressure you to accept a deal that you are not comfortable with. He is not worried about his revenues he is more worried about what is right for you. He has your best interest in mind at all times. He will also give you multiple options based on your needs. I have recommended him to many first time home buyers and they all have thanked me for the referral. The other good thing he has is that he will always call you back or get back to you one way or the other no matter how busy he is or how late you call him. He is pleasant to deal with and will understand your file completely.

But this did not affect the speed that he was able to get us approved for our home, and get our application moved forward. He was able to secure an excellent rate, and provided tips and tricks to help us save money on interest throughout the lifetime of our loan. I would recommend him to anyone looking for mortgages in the GTA, he really helped me and my husband out a lot! Thanks Jackson!

Extremely pleased with True North Mortgage and broker Robert Dang…read more While shopping around for an online mortgage broker, I chose to try out True North Mortgage because of its A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and its excellent ratings on Trustpilot. The mortgage broker assigned to me was Robert Dang. I sought out a broker in the first place instead of going directly to the banks because my work income doesn't measure up very well in the traditional gross income models used by the banks and I knew it would be challenging and time-consuming to shop my case around myself at the big banks. Robert took on my case enthusiastically and listened very well to the particularities of my case. I know he put a lot of effort into advocating for me and quite quickly got me pre-approved at two different banks. Once I found the perfect house, he worked even harder to firm up the mortgage as I had slightly exceeded my initial pre-approved loan amount. He was superb from beginning to end and got me approved for the larger purchase price. To top it off, he got me a much better mortgage rate than I had initially expected. He was knowledgeable, always quick to respond to queries, and full of helpful advice all along the way. I very much appreciate all the hard work he put in to realize my house purchase. I am extremely pleased with the service I received from Robert Dang and True North Mortgage. I highly recommend their services.

I really hope prospective home owners take the time to review who they entrust with one the most if…read morenot the most important decisions they make in their lifetime. I've been a home owner for nearly 30 years and have always trusted the big banks in looking out for my best interest. I'd like to set the record straight. Big Banks are motivated by their shareholders but that's not a bad thing. However, it can be if you are not careful and ask the right questions, hoping that your business means something to them. I truly mean it is incumbent upon you to do your research. I wised up really quick when I received a letter from the bank about what my next mortgage renewal would be when I simply asked the question about mortgage rates. They told me that they would give me a rate; however, if I were to recieve a better rate they would match it. Here I'm scratching my head and I'm thinking since I have a 25+ year relationship with the bank and also all of these investments, I must be getting a preferred rate. I was sadly disappointed because that was farther from the truth. I started asking questions and doing my own research which lead me to the great team at True North Mortage. Like many of you may think that Mortgage companies are not reliable nor helpful nor could they compete with the big banks. I will tell you first hand of my own experience with Robert Dang and Nidhita Achhapeliya at True North Mortgage. They didn't know me from a hole in the ground and yet they treated me as a top tier client. Both Robert and Nidhita worked so closely and tirelessly with me by informing me of all the necessary documents I needed. They explained every step of the way.....oh and what I didn't share with you was my mortgage was coming up for renewal January 1, 2026. After several calls to the bank they said someone will get back to me but never did. I am not sure about what the intentions of the Big Banks were but I decided to engaged Robert and Nidhita for their help at the eleventh hour. They could have just thrown a rate to me but they didn't. They educated me on what I needed to know and how to obtain the best interest rate. So, now you know this info, who has your best interest at hand? Again, Robert and Nidhita did not know me but were ready to help me get the best rate possible. Now, who do you think is looking out for my best interest? Hands down, I would say it is Robert and Nidhita as they tirelessly helped me find the best rate (beating out the big banks) considering the value of a mortgage and helping me get the best rate speaks volumes about their sincerity and working hard to earn my business. Robert and Nidhita walked me through the process and offered up information that would benefit me. So who do you think is working hard? On top of it all, my mortgage had to be completed during the Christmas break, New Years festivities, and while I was on vacation with my family. Robert and Nidhita literally held our hands through the entire process......all remotely. I didn't have to meet face to face nor have to give up my family time. Now that's worth its weight in gold. On top of that, we had some opportunities with technology and weren't able to provide signatures as planned. That didn't matter because Robert and Nidhita were able to come up with not only suggestions but real solutions to a crazy and hectic time for us. I recall getting emails and phone messages at extremely different time lines that a big bank provides. This brought it home for me as they are looking after my best interest and in my corner. In my mind, this is how it should be, someone who is not only tirelessly working on our behalf but also communicating with me every step of the way. I never had to wait or wonder what was happening with my mortgage application as they updated me every step of the way without having to ask. I am so completely pleased with how Robert and Nidhita helped me through this crazy economic timeline that I will be engagIng them again for my other 2 mortgages in the near future. If you haven't worked with Robert and Nidhita at True North Mortgage, you are most definitely leaving your hard earned money on the table instead of putting it to good use. Thank you so much Robert and Nidhita for your tireless effort and helping me look beyond my own bias that banks are the only game in town and are offering me the best value.

My wife and I are first-time home buyers and started our search late last year. We met Les and…read moreFiorella by chance when we went to an open house that they were showing on our street. We instantly hit it off and felt a strong connection with them. They came across as very real and genuine people. At the time we did not have an agent working for us so we decided to meet with them later to see if we could work together. We usually go with referrals but in this case we had a good feeling, and we were right. At our first meeting, Les and Fiorella listened carefully and took the time to really understand what we were searching for. They addressed all of our questions and concerns. It was immediately clear that they have been in the business for a long time and really know what they are talking about. In all of our communications with them they have been very responsive and helpful. On all of our house visits they have provided us with invaluable advice on the merits and drawbacks of each house. They know a lot about houses can easily go into detail about the cost of potential renovations or repairs which we found quite useful. We never felt any pressure from them to make an offer on a house that we were not interested in and when it came down to making an offer they provided us with a lot of data on houses in the area to help us make an informed decision. Very quickly into the relationship we did not see them as our realtors but rather as our friends. In the end we ended up finding our dream home and there is no way that we could have done it without their help. We highly recommend their services to anyone who is interested in purchasing a house in the GTA.
