Before I stumbled upon Tekamar, I held a skeptical view of brokers, believing they were solely focused on their own interests and indifferent towards their clients. Well, let me tell you, Tekamar shattered that misconception. It couldn't be further from the truth. What surprised me the most was that they represent you without charging any additional fees. Tekamar's primary responsibility is to scour the market for great deals and reliable mortgage providers for your home. They excel at finding the best providers with the most favorable rates, all while negotiating on your behalf. Think about it, can you really surpass their expertise by embarking on a DIY mortgage search, approaching your credit union or bank without any industry knowledge? The answer is a resounding no. That's precisely why you need a broker. Tekamar goes above and beyond. I spent countless hours on the phone with Tom, discussing the process, and he effortlessly explained everything, taking me along on the journey. He consistently justified his decisions and provided insightful explanations. Every single time, I found myself in agreement with his judgment. They are consummate professionals. Not only did they secure us amazing rates, but they also made the entire process feel as smooth as butter. A heartfelt thank you to Tom and the entire team at Tekamar. You guys are truly exceptional.Rich at Tekamar was the absolute best. As first time home buyers we didn't know much about the whole process, and he helped us every step of the way.

Rich Smith was pivotal in the process of buying my first home. I knew nothing about mortgages before talking to Rich, and he helped me understand everything I needed to know. Within two months of talking to him, I had an offer accepted for a home. He was extremely helpful with determining if I was ready to purchase a home and what exactly I would need to complete the process. On top of all that, Rich is a super nice dude and is very easy to talk to. 10/10Can’t praise tekamar enough! The purchasing of our house would not have happened if it wasn’t for Tom arrowsmith!

(and a couple dozen more)Getting a mortgage without a broker, is a bit like DIY dentistry
Sure you could pull the tooth out yourself, but having a dentist would probably help.
Getting advice from a mortgage broker means making the right plan today, so you can start working towards your mortgage-free tomorrow.

Helping people beat the banks since 1979.
Tekamar Mortgages has been based in Salmon Arm, BC since 1979. In that time we've worked with thousands of people across Canada.
We built our business on repeat customers. The plan was simple: treat every customer like somone we'd like to work with again and again until they were mortgage free, then make a plan to get them there. Nearly half a century later and so far it has worked.
95% of Tekamar's customers returned for their second, third and even fourth mortgages. We're pretty proud of that, and would love the opportunity to show you why so many people trust us with one of their biggest decisions.
