Aleem - the mortgage specialist is extremely knowlegable, professional, efficient and helpful. He was prompt getting... back to us with quick and detailed information. He was able to provide great advice and options making the experience less stressful. Very evident that he gives advice that is to the best interest of his clients rather than putting his interests first. It didnt matter to him wether he would get paid or not as long as it made the most sense for the client financially. Without a doubt we highly recommend his honest and expert advice! Thank you so very much Aleem!read more

My friend suggested that I contact Aleem for a consult and I ended up working with him on and off for 2 years through... several life transitions, budget and preference changes. I appreciate that he took the time to educate us so that we can feel more confident in our decisions. For example, I am a visual learner and choosing a mortgage product based on listening to a bunch of financial jargon is not helpful. Aleem sent a side by side comparison chart of the different mortgage options available to us, with explanations, and this allowed me to "see" the differences, as well as do my own further research. As a first time home buyer with no prior knowledge or experience in the financial sector, this attention to detail is empowering because I felt that it enabled us to make our own informed decision rather than having a professional tell me what is best and take control. Lastly, Aleem also kept us apprised on the status of our application through email, which helped alleviate some nerves during a time of stress and uncertainty. I truly hope Aleem stays in this business for years to come- he is definitely THE mortgage specialist who I would reach out to again. Thank you for everything.read more

I contacted Aleem after finding The Mortgage Specialist online, with a google search. I decided to call Aleem based on ... all the positive reviews. Aleem was prompt to reply, and within a few minutes of our conversation, he was able to tell me that he should be able to help me. The application process is simple and painless, he asked me the questions on the phone and filled the details out for me, and then sent me a detailed list of everything that we would need to provide the lender. Overall I would say that I was very satisfied with the attention to detail, the level of clarity and the overall professionalism of working with The Mortgage Specialist.read more

I bought my property as a pre-sale back in 2014, and had spoken to Aleem back then at the recommendation of some family... members that he's helped.My building was finally ready to complete this fall and my cousin reminded me about Aleem (I had forgotten we had even spoken) - Aleem remembered me and our conversation.We set up a phone call, and he asked me questions about my plans for the future, and some goals. He then explained to me why this information was important, and how it would help as a compass to find the right mortgage. He explained to me exactly what the difference in actual dollars a lower rate of 0.25% would be, and clarified the fine print in the contracts with the different lenders, and how it could end up costing me in the long run.He took the time to understand what was important to me and gave me advice that aligned with my plans and goals. And he was very clear on the why and the how part as well.Everything came together very smoothly. There was a delay in my completion date, but Aleem explained that it would be in my best interest to continue on and get everything done and be ready, especially approaching the holiday season, and the nature of my work. Sound advice, as I just got my completion notice about 13 days ago, and we are ready. Thanks for your help, Aleem and team.read more

My husband and I were referred to Aleem and we were very happy working with him to obtain financing for our first home.... Our situation was unique, and there were some complications which took some time to navigate through. Aleem made us feel comfortable by keeping us in the loop the entire time. He took the time to explain in as much detail as we requested, and set expectations for us. What helped a lot was he broke down the turn around times and the processes, so that we were not in a panic if we did not hear back on something right away. Even though we know that we were not his only clients, Aleem we felt treated like we were always priority number one. On top of that we got a fantastic rate, and we feel comfortable with the terms based on our needs.read more

Aleem was referred to us by our financial advisor. It was encouraging to hear on the very first call that we would be... able to qualify for the mortgage amount that we wanted. Not only were all my questions answered in great detail, but I feel like I have a better understanding of the entire process. I was still nervous about the buying a home (who wouldn’t be) but Aleem certainly made me feel very comfortable with the process of attaining financing. Aleem gives you all the info you need and then lets you decided how to proceed. At no point did I ever feel like he was pushing me one way or the other. I always felt like he was on my side and that really helps. Having someone like Aleem who has the connections, the tools and the experience really makes a big difference. I would highly recommend Aleem if you have any mortgage related needs. As a matter of fact, I have already referred his name out to 2 of my colleagues. Overall an outstanding experience!read more

I was referred to Aleem and things moved really quickly. I had written an offer that morning! Aleem re-arranged his... schedule to accommodate me. He was insistent that we spoke before we began the process, and I am thankful that he was so insistent. I felt really comfortable and got a good understanding of the process. The offer ended up not being accepted, but we found another place not too long after. We had a trip scheduled around this time as well so things were pretty hectic. Aleem was transparent, efficient and flexible by providing us various options for the signing.There were a few delays to closing as we found some issues in our final walk through, and again Aleem was very helpful in making sure that what needed to get done got done. He worked very closely with our realtor to ensure the tight deadlines and turnarounds were being met. I would definitely recommend using Aleem if you need a mortgage!read more

A colleague who was also in the process of buying referred Aleem to us. We were at the very early stages of starting to... look for a place, and Aleem was patient, and provided us with insight and relevant advice. Even though we were not completely ready to move forward for a few months, Aleem followed up with us regularly to check in and provide us with tips and updates to the mortgage market. Overall we felt very comfortable throughout the process and would recommend Aleem and his team for anyone that is looking for sound mortgage advice.read more
