To say that Rich Smith is a miricle-worker would be an understatement. Not only did he get us a great mortgage (from 5,000 kms away no less) but he also did so in a very short amount of time. We have dealt with two brokers in town before so I am confident in saying that Rich is THE best person to have on your side. He is productive, efficient, comitted, empathetic, and positive...when we would come across a road block and other brokers would say nothing else could be done, Rich found a way. Myself, my husband, and our children will forever be grateful for the work he put in to get us into our forever home.I cannot adequately express my gratitude to everyone at Tekamar for their assistance with the purchase of our new home in Airdrie, Alberta.

I cannot adequately express my gratitude to everyone at Tekamar for their assistance with the purchase of our new home in Airdrie, Alberta. Just about everything that could go wrong during the process did go wrong beginning with the bank where we have been customers for over 50 years refused to help us with bridge financing after telling us that they would and so we committed to buying the house. We were sitting there with our necks out a mile and the bank did not care one iota. Enter Rich Smith at Tekamar. He was up front about the additional costs and fees and while I was not thrilled, at least I knew that there was a way out of our predicament. Through the entire process, Rich was extremely professional, comforting us at every stage and ensuring us that everything was under control and they could and would help us. Amie in the office was pure gold, always meeting us with a smile whenever we entered. When my printer/scanner broke down, Amie copied and scanned countless documents to multiple lawyers in Alberta for us. At the end of the day, the additional fees were so worth it. We wish that we had just gone through Tekamar to begin with. Now that we are settling into our home in Airdrie and expecting to receive the money from the sale of our home, we are so very grateful to our new friends back in Salmon Arm. Tekamar, you saved us and if we can help you in any way, please do not hesitate to call us.

A few months ago my husband and I were just starting to look at the possibility of buying our first home. It can be an overwhelming process to start, especially with the market being what it is. Rich proved to be an exceptional guide, with unending patience and thoughtful answers to our countless questions, he walked us through each step of the process. The Tekamar team went above and beyond, working tirelessly within a tight deadline to help us secure our dream home. Now happily settled, we cannot recommend their outstanding service enough!As a first time homebuyer, and as an Albertan looking to buy a property in the Shuswap area, I had a lot of questions and concerns as to what direction to take.

Rich (Jr jr) was a pleasure to deal with, I found our conversation very informative and would highly recommend setting up a meeting yourself!

This was a second opportunity to work with Tekamar Mortgages Ltd. Several years ago Tekamar Mortgages Ltd. Broker Ester Arrowsmith took on the request to put together a lender with our son, who was purchasing his first home. Ester kept our son informed all through the process, and passed on the agreement between the lending institution and himself with only signatures required. I recognized the value of an experienced broker, searching for best value for her customers's need and to top it off, everything was kept local. This summer my wife and I experienced the same customer service excellence. We found a home we wished to purchase and we went to Tekamar Mortgages Ltd for help. I was directed to Tom Arrowsmith and explained the situation. He gave us clear direction on what we needed to provide to help him with our purchase. Tom's experience as to how the Lender's bundle services together, helped us compile a package between mortgage and line of credit. We found a lender we hadn't even considered, who met with us in our home to finalize the document's signing. Again, Tom followed up with myself on each step of the process, with a quick text, or email, and at the final stage, personal phone calls. My wife and I are grateful for the Tekamar Mortgages Ltd team. Thank you for helping our family again.

Trusted by these lenders
(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.
