Yipeee!  You've been a blessing! Thank you so very much for all your hard work. I must thank Rick Van Hull for directing me to you as well, as I am sure if I went with any other broker, my situation would not have ended so nicely.  Thanks for your time; you've been great to deal with.---Sylvia


Laurie Foster is one of the best people I have ever dealt with in the mortgage industry. He has helped many of my customers achieve their dream of buying a home by being knowledgeable and energetic at what he does.  Laurie has always made of point of giving the client all the facts about what is available for them in the mortgage market and then helps them to get the best mortgage package to suit their individual circumstances.  Whether it is first time buyer or a seasoned consumer, Laurie does not make any assumptions about the client and makes sure to give them all the facts so they can make an informed borrowing decision. He knows that buying a home is a stressful event for anyone and helps to put people at ease by making it as simple as possible for them.  Laurie brings added value to the equation having been a real estate agent himself for many years helping to give extra insight and confidence to a buyer making one of the biggest decisions of their life.  I have known Laurie personally and professionally for over 15 years and have trusted him to look after many of my clients as well as friends and family members.  If you are looking for someone to help you get the best value for your mortgage dollars and treat you as a valued customer, I wholeheartedly recommend Laurie Foster.----Al Bernier, RE/MAX Performance Realty, www.RockSolidService.mb.ca

As licensed Realtors, my wife, Lynda Sawkins, and I have known Laurie for many years, first as a Realtor and, more recently, as a mortgage professional. We do not hesitate to refer any of our clients to Laurie. In fact, when we bought our new home last year, we had Laurie arrange the mortgage for us. He got us the terms that most suited our needs and at a very competitive rate. His thorough, no-nonsense approach is just what we and our clients are looking for. --- Tom Fulton, Broker / Owner, RE/MAX performance realty, www.sellingwinnipeg.com

I was impressed with the speed with which everything was done.  It was a "quick" purchase for me and I was going to be on vacation in a few weeks, but with Laurie and Kevin's help, I was able to get everything done and have a great, worry-free vacation.  Kevin was very helpful and very patiently and capably handled what I am sure were dumb questions from me.  I was even able to get a lower interest rate than my previous mortgage from a year before so that was very good.----G. Holm.

We are very happy with the rate we got.  Laurie was on top of everything and was very helpful with questions and taking care of the issues we had with a lender that was not so organized as Laurie and his team.  We were able to to everything without even meeting Laurie --- although we wish we had met him. ----T Labreche-Batt & G Batt

Kevin Morin was a pleasure to work with.  If he didn't have the answers, he went and promptly got them.  He was always available and returned calls promptly.  My lawyers received all the information they required in a timely fashion.  I feel like I received excellent service and I have recommended these services to others.  It was a pleasure dealing with Kevin and I will definitely be back. ----C. DeSorcy

My experience with Laurie and his team was favourable.  I had no experience at all working with a mortgage broker and Laurie was very approachable, very patient with all my questions, returned my calls promptly, and took care of getting my documents to the bank immediately.  Not to forget, he got me a rate that was 3% lower than what was offered to me by my lender -- where I have banked for 15 years!  Kevin provided me with information and explained things in an easy to understand way and never left me to figure out things all on my own.  The online application was a great time saver and user-friendly.  I would strongly recommend this team to any friends or relatives who are in the market for a new home.   The only suggestion I would make is to advertise more so that Laurie and Kevin can  can help even more people!----M. Guenette
