Sarah and Sally were absolutely wonderful when we were buying our new house!
They made everything so clear so there were no surprise fees or anything we were unaware of. They got us an amazing rate and we’re very responsive to any questions we had.
Absolutely lovely people and highly recommended!

Sarah has been our mortgage broker for years. She is great to work with, knowledgeable and and very responsive (even when we were closing over the holidays). Thank you!
Agata F.
Sarah helped us with our mortgage recently for our first home. She was amazingly patient and kept in constant contact with us throughout the process. I will defiantly be recommending her to anyone looking for a mortgage broker. We are excited to work with her in the future.

Sarah was excellent to work with. She is great at explaining things in terms that you can understand and doesn’t over complicate things. She responded to all our questions and requests almost instantly. She found us a great rate and was able to secure it for us last minute.
Andrew M.
I’ve worked with Sarah a few times now. She is always happy and willing to help and answer my ridiculous questions. Most recently, she helped me secure a great house when I was going through a separation. She was very helpful and encouraging while I was going through a very difficult and stressful time. Thanks to her, getting my mortgage settled was never a stressor!
Angela F.
Sarah is an excellent mortgage broker. She is very knowledgeable of the industry, friendly and client service oriented. She helped us tremendously to find our last mortgage and we look forward to working with her again when it comes time to renew. Sarah was always available to answer our questions (we had lots!) and provided everything in a clear, concise manner that was easy to understand. I cannot recommend her services enough - she is your best bet to find a mortgage for you and your family.

Sarah worked with us to renew our mortgage during a time of rate volatility. She got us a great rate and we locked in before rates continued to rise. Sarah listened to our needs and wants and found us a mortgage meeting all of that. She gave us great advice and helped us get out of our collateral charge mortgage, which we had no idea about when we initially got it with a previous broker. We learned a lot from her and highly recommend her!
Bethany S.
Sarah was an amazing broker through all of the curves and sometimes mountains we had to endure to finalize my mortgage. She fought hard for me and knew my needs every time I reached out (which was a lot!). She was never frustrated or upset with the constant changes that I provided her with. When the time came she secured a mortgage for me within 24 hours and was as excited to relay the news to me as I was to receive it. If you are looking for a person who is passionate, caring and a bull dog when needed call Sarah. I give 100 stars out of 10.
Brittany S.
Sarah had been wonderful to deal with for our mortgage. She has answered our 101 questions with great detail, in a timely manner and with lots of patience. She is very easy to talk to and is down to earth making things understandable. I highly recommend Sarah for your mortgage needs!!
Caitlin S
Sarah was incredibly helpful and personable during our first time home buying experience. She provided us with all the advice we needed to make very important financial decisions in a timely manner and was able to negotiate a very good rate for us.
I would recommend Sarah to anyone who is looking for a new (or first time) mortgage broker.
Chelsea S.
We were glad we had reached out to Sarah Levine and Sally Litz for our mortgage shopping. Despite the short notice, Sarah and Sally were committed to helping us find the right mortgage solution, and we were able to close on time for our new home.
Sarah and Sally: thanks for going the extra mile in securing us a mortgage at a reasonable rate at the last minute. Keep up the good work.
Connie P..
When you get your mortgage, Sarah is just as excited as you are! Definitely her passion and goes the extra mile to get things done. Picks the best lender for you and keeps you updated every step of the way. Accommodates weird hours and reassures you anytime you need it. Cannot say enough good things about her. Truly gifted at what she does.
Dana T
Sarah is so wonderful! We had a pretty bad experience last year with a different broker, so we were a little bit reluctant to go with a broker again. I reached out because she came highly recommended and were so glad we did! Not only did Sarah help us out of a bad situation, she got us into a mortgage that fit our needs, walked us through the process with grace and professionalism, and supported us every step of the way.
Danielle G
We dealt with two other mortgage brokers before working with Sarah and Sarah was the only one who was able to get us into our first house! She definitely goes above and beyond for her clients. Her work ethic is like no other. Stop searching for mortgage brokers and reach out to Sarah. You won’t regret it!
Danielle L.
Sarah is the person that you want to turn to for your mortgage needs. She will do her best to find you the best rates. She is awesome.
David G.
Sarah was very honest and provided a full and complete picture of my options and helped me make the best decision for my situation. I would recommend working with her, without hesitation.
Debora R.
It was a pleasure working with Sarah. She was always quick to respond to questions but took the time to answer them fully. I will definitely work again with Sarah and highly recommend her.

Sarah is very responsive and incredibly professional
G. L.
Amazing all around. Luckily we were in a position to maximize the best option for us. We had 3 main goals (merge mortgage, get rid of line and get rid of ties with 2 companies). We were able to accomplish that but also start increasing our savings account, pay off my car, and pay to fix my bumper. This was all still within our existing biweekly amount and essentially the same length of mortgage. She was able to give us sound advice and talk us through it all. I gave her a maximum biweekly amount and she came to us with $50 less on accelerated biweekly. I couldn’t be happier that she helped us should’ve gone to her sooner. Highly recommend!

Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable while also being friendly and approachable. I can't think of a better advisor than her.
J Yak
Sarah was amazing to work with. We reached out to Sarah to discuss potentially getting a mortgage with our unusual situation. Sarah took the time to listen and provide us with all the information we needed to make our decision.
When we finally decided to go ahead with our purchase she was there every step of the way. She answered every call and email quickly and we always felt that we had her undivided attention
Sarah got us a great rate and made the stress of buying a new home easier for us. She was patient and professional throughout the whole ordeal and was so resourceful in getting us our mortgage. I cannot recommend her enough!
Jamila E.
I found Sarah by doing a quick google search, looking for a mortgage broker last year. She came right to our house at our convenience, was extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable and was able to find the perfect mortgage for us. She helped us with ongoing questions and concerns we had along the way, and was quick to find answers for us when we needed them. She truely wants what is best for her clients and works hard at getting us the best deal possible. I have refered her to my best friend and to my mother in law, and I wouldn't hesitate to refer her to anyone else looking for a qualified broker.
Janie P
Sarah was so easy to work with she was helpful and efficient she got along so well with our kids and came to us!! She made our house purchasing so enjoyable!! Thank you so much sarah!! I'd recommend you any day!

I highly recommend Sarah. She's helped me with 2 mortgage transactions and literally lifted me into better scenarios both times. Sarah is a delight to work with - approachable and knowledgeable. I appreciate her skills and abilities to listen about your personal and family needs and work hard to advocate and find the best most suitable options while also helping you navigate the process every step along the way. Sarah has a great mini team that is very supportive too! Once a client...forever a returning client!

We have had Sarah set us up many times with a great mortgage rate and amazing service. Highly recommended!
Justin S
Sarah took time to find us a competitive rate for our needs, explain the terms and conditions of the mortgage, and she went above and beyond when our real estate agent went MIA mid-sale. We are so grateful for Sarah's expertise and continued support through the term of our mortgage. Sarah made buying a house far easier.
Kaitlyn G.
Thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful.
I can't imagine a better mortgage experience. Highly recommend!
Kaitlyn M.
Sarah is amazing at what she can do for you. We were remortgaging to set ourselves up for retirement and she made it so easy and non-stressful! Got us a fantastic deal and made house calls to process the paperwork! I highly recommend Sarah. You won't find anyone better to deal with! You actually feel like her only client while you are working with her!!! Thanks Sarah!!
Kathy K
Sarah managed to help us out of a desperate pinch. We sold our home and were ready to port our previous mortgage when the bank insisted we increase the borrowed amount by $123K unjustifiably. We couldn't afford that. We reached out to Sarah and within two days had a new mortgage, better terms, and a better interest rate. What else could we ask?
Kimberly F.
I reached out to Sarah through a Mommy Page on Facebook. She was quick to response and follow up with me. She took the time to talk to me and explain the different options and the way things work with Mortgages. She was amazing and I wasn't even a client of hers. She WAS NOT paid for this. So I highly recommend her and will definitely do business with her when I finally make a decision on what to do....
Linh K
Sarah made our mortgage experience feel like a breeze and stress free from start to finish! From her friendly sunshine smile, unsurmountable patience, to making sure everything was right and perfectly in place. She provides top rate customer service and follow up, we anyways knew we were in the best hands. Sarah always made us feel like any question or request was a pleasure to take care of even when we made a last minute change. Her knowledge and professionalism is beyond compare and she makes understanding the mortgage world so accessible to those of us who may just not quite get it. She’s an 11 out of 10!
Lori W.
Sarah was great! We were first time home buyers and she walked us through the whole process, even answering questions that were not related directly to her work as best as she could. She responded quickly to emails and was a really great person to work with. We felt the whole time that she cared about getting us the best deal and best rate! At no time did she seem to be working only to support a specific lending company, she cared about us first!
Luke H
Sarah is wonderful and I couldn’t recommend her more. I have worked with Sarah for the purchase of my first home, and my mortgage renewal 5 years later. I plan to work with Sarah for the foreseeable future and recommend her any chance I get.
She is patient, understanding, thorough and happy to explain (and re-explain!) if you have any questions or concerns. She has a cheerful demeanour and her response times great. She and her assistant, Sally, kept me in line to make sure I didn’t miss any deadlines or details and I really appreciated that!
Marissa M.
Sarah is fantastic! Always one step ahead, extremely professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!
Melissa B
Sarah was very helpful in walking us through the mortgage process, especially considering we had no knowledge of it prior to the purchase of our first home. She was friendly, approachable, and made sure that all our questions were answered (even the ones we didn't know we had). I would definitely recommend her services to another first-time buyer.
Michel S
Lots of people recommended Sarah and they were not wrong. She has been a pleasure to deal with, has explained everything very well to us and got us a fantastic rate on great terms. I would not hesitate in working with Sarah again.
Michelle M
Sarah is awesome! Being first time home buyers, Sarah is patient and caring with us, always taking the time to fully make sure we understand our options and what it means to have a mortgage and own a home. She works tirelessly to find us the best rates and lenders, turn applications and documents around quickly, and keep us posted as the process moves forward. We also really appreciate her taking our calls outside of normal hours. She's also a wealth of home buying and home owning pro-tips, which has been incredibly helpful for us. Sarah has been with us every step of the way and we're so happy to continue working with her!
Mike B
I highly recommend Sarah as your go-to mortgage broker. Her professionalism, responsiveness, advice and openness makes the painstaking process of shopping for mortgage rates an easier and less stressful experience. Not only will Sarah get you the best possible rates but she will guide through the selection process by outlining the advantages and disadvantages of the various lenders and their terms and conditions so that you can make the most informed decision for your individual situation and circumstances. Thank you, Sarah!
Mohamed E.
Sarah is great to work with! We had an amazing experience with her . We are first time home owners and she was able to secure us the lowest interest rate ! She is very skilled at what she does , and I would highly recommend her .
Mushki A
I contacted Sarah after another interest increase. I was looking at different options since I am a single mother and had a variable rate mortgage. She was so kind and empathized with my situation. She took the time to look at a few different scenarios with me. I really appreciated her help and would recommend using her. Thanks Sarah!
Nicole C.
We recently worked with Sarah Levine to secure a mortgage for our new home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and took the time to explain every step of the process, making it easy to understand.
She provided a variety of options tailored to my financial situation and helped me choose the best one. The level of professionalism and expertise was evident throughout, and I appreciated how she went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable with my decision.
Communication was top-notch I never felt out of the loop, and any questions I had were answered promptly. The entire process was seamless.
I highly recommend Sarah Levine to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable mortgage broker. Her dedication and support made a potentially stressful experience much more manageable. Thank you for your outstanding service!
Patricia H.
Sarah was awesome to work with. She got me an amazing rate, was so patient with me throughout everything because my case was not easy and so she helped relieve so much of the stress that comes with purchasing a home. Her assistant was also great to work with! I highly recommend her!
Patricia O.
Seamless! What a pleasure to work with Sarah.

Sarah was great in handling our mortgage renewal and is very knowledgeable and professional. We got great service and a very good rate! She answered all kf our questions and concerns. Highly recommend her!!

Sarah was incredible. She was so instrumental in helping us get our home, specially in the short time constraints we were under. She went above and beyond and provided us with amazing help and advise. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking to get their new home.
10 stars all the way.
Thank you once again Sarah.
Roberto M.
Sarah was great. This is the second time we have used her to purchase a home. We were impressed at how she handled our complicated financial situation, and made the whole process a breeze. She is personable, kind and very pleasant to work with. I would absolutely recommend her services. Thanks Sarah!
Samantha B.
We've been working with Sarah for 5+ years now and she has been wonderful to work with. She has helped us with our mortgage renewal and pre-approval for our current house hunt.
Sarah has been quick to respond with all of the information we need to make informed decisions and is very knowledgeable on the current market and provides helpful advice.
if you are looking for a mortgage broker we'd definitely recommend Sarah
Sasha D.
Sarah is a highly professional and knowledgeable broker! We had to renew in the fall and ended up switching lenders - the process was easy and straightforward. She answers any and all questions in a timely and friendly manner. I would definitely recommend reaching out to Sarah for any mortgage needs!
Shannon F.
Sarah and Sally were incredibly helpful getting me a great rate for my first home purchase, even negotiating a lower rate after everything had been signed with the lender since rates went down.
Shannon F.
Working with Sarah was incredibly easy. She is such a sweet and likeable person to start. Awesome personality aside, she knows her stuff and works hard for her clients. My best piece of advice - find yourself a good broker like Sarah who will scour the market for a great deal. I very nearly renewed with my previous mortgage company and just checked in with Sarah to make sure the rate I was given was competitive. Within no time Sarah had gotten back to me with an incredible rate that my previous company couldn't compete with. I was renewing at a time when interest rates were quite favourable and Sarah not only worked with me to lock in a great rate but she kept an eye on the rates and ended up getting me an even better rate in the end. That attention to detail is unmatched by other companies, and certainly by any other broker I have worked with. I will continue to work with Sarah for future renewals and I highly recommend her to anyone purchasing a new home or looking to renew.
Shannon S.
Sarah was very professional , knowledgeable and more importantly made herself available to answer my questions in a timely manner, which there were a lot.
Leaving a banking institution and going with Sarah was seamless. She worked to get the best rate and kept sending updates. I would recommend Sarah as a broker.
Sherry W.
Sarah was responsive and always helpful through the whole financing process, even when it got a bit chaotic and deadlines were looming. I'd recommend her services to anyone!
Travis F.
So much to say about Sarah Levine and her team. This will be the second time we asked Sarah for help with a mortgage, and both times we've presented challenge and she always pushes through and we can't be happier! Purchasing a home is a big investment and we wouldn't do it with out her!
Vesta M.
Sarah has been more then advertised. Sarah has and still providing me with the assistance I need to reach my goal. Even in the hardest situation, Sarah finds solutions that has made it possible to continue moving forward. I highly recommend Sarah with your search for the best solution to your questions.
Vincent
Sarah was a massive help. Having Sarah help me in a transitioning time in my life was a major boost. I highly recommend Sarah and look forward in continuing to deal with Sarah in my future retail dealings.
Vincent S.P.
Excellent, quick, efficient service. Sarah is very knowledgeable and helps guide us through all the stages of holding a mortgage, from initially buying our house through to renewals. Highly recommend her as the go-to mortgage broker in Ottawa!
