I chose to work with Greg to help me buy my first home and I'm so glad I did! I honestly can't recommend him enough, he made the whole process so easy and stress free, helped me every step of the way to understand what I needed to do next and a lot of the time was doing all the work for me. Such an absolute pleasure to deal with, I sincerely appreciate everything so much and will be referring everyone I know your way!

For anyone considering or even contemplating a broker + advisor combination, look no further! I consider myself loyal to those who are strong to their word, provide genuine help and are able to put it in plain English so I can make an informed decision based on my circumstances.

Sarah was absolutely a whiz at all things health insurance related. What's a real bonus for us is that she is not commissioned driven and really does take the time to find what best suits your family needs and then explain terms and conditions. Felt really cared for under her.
Would highly recommend these guys for health insurance needs!

We were looking for a mortgage adviser, and my friend suggested Scott from Advanced Mortgage Solutions. She bought her first home with his help and was very happy with the services. From the very start, nothing seemed too much of a problem, and the whole process for us was very smooth and easy. Scott was very efficient in his communication, patiently answering our questions and providing a very detailed, step-by-step guide. We feel pretty lucky to work with Scott. Very grateful for his help and knowledge, and will definitely recommend to our friends and family!

It wouldn't be wrong to say that Scott is the best in town. In 2019, we initially reached out to him based on stellar Google reviews while purchasing our first home. Now, in 2024, for our new property, choosing Scott again was a no-brainer. His exceptional skills as a mortgage advisor speak for themselves; he truly excels in his field.
