Elliot helped me with my purchase and I couldn't have asked for a better realtor! Buying a property…read moreis a stressful process and you always hear horror stories from people who've had terrible experiences so I was preparing for the worst. BUT, Elliot made me feel at ease and the process with him was smooth and painless right from our first meeting to when I received my keys! Even after I moved in, he checks in to see if I needed anything! He's very knowledgeable and has fantastic communication with super quick responses at any time of the day or night! He understood what I was looking for and gave invaluable advice and feedback which helped me make the right decision in the end! Elliot is honest, knowledgeable and hard working! Thank you Elliot!

You know those commercials that stress the importance of needing a realtor, especially if you're…read morebuying a home for the first time? My situation easily could have been put into one of those commercials and Elliot would be the hero realtor in the commercial that saved the day. The time finally came where I was ready to spend my hard earned savings on a home of my own. I started looking at places online but had no idea where to begin. That's where Elliot came in. As soon as I told him what I was looking for, and in what area, he began sending me listings in my price range. I couldn't believe it: of the first three listings he sent me, I knew I found my dream home. It was love at first sight. Elliot immediately booked a viewing for me and my fiancé. He booked us viewings for all the other listings we were interested in too. So the search began. After going to all these viewings, I still had my heart set on the one I fell in love with. It was time to put in an offer. We told Elliot how low we wanted to go and he respected our wishes. When the seller countered, we came back with another low offer. Elliot listened to our requests to still go lower. He let us know of the risks of going too low (that we could lose the place) but still countered, giving the seller reasons to take our lower offer. His persistence paid off and the seller agreed! Our experience wasn't over then though. We had issues with strata fees that were supposed to be included in the cost, mailbox keys that had gone missing, property taxes, etc. Elliot stood by us the whole time. He was quick to answer our texts, calls and emails no matter the time of day. He worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly, despite a lot of our issues not being part of his job. As stressful as our closing was, Elliot was always there for us and made sure that we were happy. Even after the closing, Elliot has still been there to answer further questions we've had. Thank you Elliot for helping us find our first home and for getting us through all of the hiccups. We couldn't be happier now and won't hesitate to have Elliot help us again when we're ready to upgrade.

Now they're like a bad bank! I give an instruction when a deposit is to roll over, 1 year, 90 days, and it is NEVER what I've instructed. I phone and they see my instruction in the computer, then correct it. This happens repeatedly. I've gone in person and it takes an hour, and up to 3 people to correct the errors. And they can see my actual instruction in their computer! I've been trying for a year to escape this disintegrating credit union. When all my RIFs are (correctly) rolled over I can get out. I don't know what's happened, poor training? Poor computer programs? The humans know what I want, yet it's never done correctly. I'm frustrated beyond belief. Maybe stop rebranding and expanding and look at how poorly you're functioning.

I got sick of pressing 1 for this, 2 for that, 3 for something else.... only to receive another long message and a command to repeat my selection. Ad nauseam. Honestly, that female robot they have on there sounds as though she's being dragged to the guillotine. Be prepared to wait. And wait. And wait. ALSO don't bother walking into a BCAA office, hoping that someone will look after you as in years gone by. It always comes down to phoning for telephone assistance - or making an appointment. Note: The next day I tried again and this time I was told that someone would call me back if I didn't want to wait. I was instructed to punch in my 10-digit number starting with my area code. I began this process, but after entering my area code Ms. Death scolded me: 604 is not a valid number! I had to return to the never-ending hold queue. I am very very happy to say that I DID eventually receive assistance over the phone by a competent agent named Rita Li. She was wonderful. This one-star review is for the telephone system, not her.

If you are considering purchasing out of country medical insurance from BCAA; do yourself a favour…read moreand save your money and get it from someone else. I have been buying an annual policy for myself and my wife for 3 years in a row. On average it's about $500 a year for both of us. They are all smiles and handshakes when they are taking your money, but as soon as you submit a claim ; it's a different storey. We spent 25 days in Texas in November and while on our trip, my blood pressure spiked to 240. I called their claims number and asked if it would be concerned. "Yes sir, go to the hospital and we will take care of it " That's what I was told, very friendly people. I went to an emergency walk in clinic and the total cost was $140 USD. I submitted the forms online, copies of the receipts, the doctors notes / reports , copies of my boarding passes, credit card bill and the forms were accepted. 2 weeks later they sent me an email stating they did not receive the required documents. The irony is all the requested documents were attached to the email they sent me stating they were not received. I've tried calling them repeatedly and as soon as I say hello "they hang up" I don't know what kind of company this is but I'm guessing it's run out of someone's basement on Montreal and they don't pay claims. The good news is my bill was only $140 and I can live with that and more importantly, I'm Really glad I didn't go to an actual emergency department at a hospital because then I would've heel screwed out of thousands of dollars instead of $140. I had no pre- existing condition and was given approval by this company to get treatment. I'm not going to file a dispute with my credit card company and ask to have the charges reversed. I'll pay the $140 from the $500 refund I get back from their fraudulent insurance. Shame on you guys. The thing is, I read several bad reviews about BCAA travel insurance but I tried it anyway , never again. Save time money and stay away from these sheisters.
