Reviews of Katya Ells Dominion Lending Centres The Mortgage Source - Almonte (Loan Agency)

Andy Koni

I went through different brokers who didn’t really seem to care about me, and my potential of owning a home, brushing me off as extra and/or unnecessary work. Then I met Katya Ells, who simply took care of me. She was hard working, caring and experienced; something that transcended through working with her. She made the approval process simple and fun, meetings felt like gatherings, and phone conversations felt like catching up with an old friend. This friendly consultative approach really left me with a warm feeling of working with Katya and she will be the broker that I always recommend thereafter. To anyone reading this, I was buying as a first time buyer on a single income and didn’t think I could get much of anything due to the new mortgage rules. Now I am sitting in my 2Br Condo with 2 parking spaces in an up and coming area. Thank you, Katya.

We were first time homebuyers with a newborn and Katya helped guide us through our choices and set up seamlessly. She definitely made the whole process less stressful!

Julie Wert

Katya was amazing every step of the way when my boyfriend Jared and I were purchasing our first home! Every time we had a question she would answer and explain it as fast as she could via email or text! Her fast responses were perfect as we knew nothing about buying! Would highly recommend her to anyone buying a home or remortgaging.

Sarah Streng

I couldn't have asked for anyone better to help me through everything when purchasing my first home. Katya was always so friendly and eager to help me and make sure I understood everything, even if it meant going over things more than once to make sure I knew what was going on. Katya made the whole process so easy and painless and made sure she was there every step of the way. I would recommend Katya to anyone who is searching for their first home!

Sarah Jenkins

Purchasing a home, especially your first home, should be the most stressful time of your life. Working with Katya - it just wasn’t! She was so informative every step of the way, super accessible, and always supportive and friendly. No question was too silly, and she spent so much time explaining the different processes to us. We felt super prepared through every step of the way because she had our back. Run, don’t walk, and get your pre-approval from Katya now! You absolutely will not regret it!

Ann Cameron

Katya was everything we wanted and needed in a broker. As first time home buyers, we were fairly nervous to start the process but Katya put all of our worries at ease. She explained everything so that we could understand it well and ensured that all of our questions were answered during each step. We were extremely impressed by how quickly she was able to get the ball rolling make things happen. We were certainly never left waiting around for progress. Katya made every meeting enjoyable and stress free and she truly went above and beyond our expectations throughout the process. At one of the most high stress times in our lives, Katya was the eye of the storm and was always there to reassure us. We highly recommend Katya to anyone looking to purchase a home.

We have been so fortunate to work with Katya. She helped us in so many ways, and was especially patient and determined to help us get the mortgage we needed. I had never worked with a broker before, and was super nervous about not using a traditional bank; and it was the best decision we made. Like I said, she was super patient, super knowledgeable and reassuring. I highly suggest working with her, even if your on the fence, she helps you do what’s best for you. We can’t thank you enough

Tamila Tovey

My husband and I were first time homebuyers and knew nothing about the process of a mortgage. Katya was so helpful and made sure we understood everything at every step. She was so kind and professional, she answered all our questions in a super timely manner and never got frustrated with how many we asked or when we needed further explanation… on pretty much everything. Even if a question or problem isn’t her direct area of expertise, she will still help you or point you in the right direction. I was honestly overwhelmed at the idea of buying a house and obtaining a mortgage, and Katya just made the whole experience great and very smooth. I would 100% recommend her if you’re looking for anything mortgage!

Amanda Duhn

Katya was very helpful throughout the entire process of purchasing our first home. She would meet or call us at any convenient time to help explain and guide us through our questions. We highly recommend using Katya as your mortgage broker. You will not be disappointed. She goes over the top with effort and puts in hard work right to the end of your closing date and beyond.

Samantha Brazeau-Wilson

Working with Katya to obtain the mortgage for our first home was such a joy. From the get-go, she was welcoming and easy to talk to, very responsive, honest, knowledgeable and eager to help in any way she could. Katya was quick to help solve problems when they came up and worked through every step along the way with ease — which took the stress out of everything related to purchasing our first home. I appreciated that she took the time to check in when we started to look at houses and later, between when we purchased our home and the closing date. She was always in my inbox when I needed her and only an email or phone call away with any questions we had. She is genuinely such a kind person who is very passionate about what she does. Katya is engaging, professional, and ALWAYS on top of things. I highly recommend getting in touch if you are a first-time homebuyer or are looking for a mortgage. You will be so happy you did!

Miss Scarlet

After getting a verbal approval from a mortgage broker that later told me I wasn't approved after putting an unconditional offer on a house, I reached out to Katya. She was able to get me approved last minute, and I am now loving my new place. I recommend her to everyone I know looking to buy a house. Quick responses, and very knowledgeable! Thank you Katya!

Patrick Kenny

Professional and courteous, Katya Ells worked hard to find us the best mortgage options and provided support every step of the way. Having never provided any pressure from our first meeting until to close, I would certainly suggest that you should speak with Katya prior to your next mortgage renewal.

Tara Jones

Katya was amazing! She made our whole mortgage process a breeze! She always made time to answer our questions, and was very supportive and communicative through the entire process, start to finish! I would highly recommend Katya to anyone looking for a mortgage, especially first-time home buyers.

Ashley Lucas

Katya is an absolute joy to work with. As a first-time homebuyer I wasn't very familiar with the process of getting a mortgage and I also had a bit of a unique situation with a very tight deadline. Katya not only explained the whole process and made it seem a lot less complicated, she was able to help me meet my deadline and receive a mortgage that was best suited for me. She kept me informed of everything that was going on and provided updates on a regular basis. I can't express how thankful I am to have worked with her and truly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Katya!!

Kerri-Lyn Curran

Katya is amazing !! I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing mortgage broker !! Buying your first home is overwhelming and can be stressful but Katya was able to help ease that stress ! She was always a text message away if I had any questions or wanted to double check on any information! Katya always responded quickly and efficiently with the information you requested! She was always willing to meet anywhere that was convenient for us and at time that suited our needs. I knew that we could always count on her to be there if something went wrong ... which we had a little problem on our closing day with the lawyer and the lender and Katya was able to talk to the lawyer and the lender and get it all sorted out for us ! I highly recommend Katya as your mortgage broker you will not be disappointed!!!!

kyle jervis

Katya Ells was the mortgage broker we chose when we started the home buying process. We chose Katya because she was close to our home. In a pleasant stroke of luck our pretty lazy method of choice of broker led us to someone that I will highly recommend to family and friends The level of professionalism,knowledge, helpfulness ,guidance and patience that Katya demonstrated while working with us was first class. I would recommend Katya very strongly for anyone who is in need of a mortgage broker.

Amy Moore

My husband and I could not have been happier with our experience with Katya. We had been dealing with Scotiabank and were not happy with our customer service experience and the offers they gave us. We met with Katya (in our home at times that worked for us) and she gave us a variety of options- all of which made sense for our family and situation. We are now able to continue with renovations and home improvements and are actually saving money! She made the whole process simple and really did all the work for us! I highly recommend making an appointment with her. She met everyone of our needs and even made things we thought out of reach possible.

Rachel Moffa

Honestly, Katya provided the best service we could have asked for while purchasing our first home! She was always there to answer questions day or night and was on top of EVERYTHING (and I seriously mean everything). She is incredibly knowledgable and took care of all of our financing and even continued to go the extra mile for us. We would 100% recommend her!

Spencer Moss

Katya was super helpful and informative, as a first time home buyer, she definitely made it less stressful. Katya was quick at responding via text/email all through the week/weekend with answers to all questions we had. She definitely knows her stuff and cares about her clients!! I would highly suggest using her, she’s super hard working!!

Jana Ranger

Working with Katya was an extremely positive experience. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in her field. She not only kept me organized and on task (she emailed me a to do list after each phone call which I greatly appreciated), she kept all parties involved up-to-date and accountable to deadlines! Katya has helped me with two mortgages and is currently helping me with a third! I wouldn’t dream of travelling through the lending world without her!

Me and my boyfriend just bought our first house. We met with Katya over a year ago to see where we were at and what we needed to do to be able to become homeowners. From the beginning, Katya was readily available for any questions I had and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the process. We couldn't recommend Katya enough to anyone who is looking to purchase their first home!

Brandon Affleck

We got Katya's info from our realtor and let me tell you Katya went above and beyond our expectations for a mortgage broker!!! There is no doubt in my minds that we would have never been able to do all the steps needed if it wasn't for her support and guidance.She was there every step of the way and was always available to talk with us or meet with us in person when we needed her !! Id recommend Katya to anymore, especially first time home buyer and people who are self-employed as we are.

She definitely went above and beyond our expectations, and I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially new home buyers.

We could not be happier to have met, and worked with Katya throughout this past year while purchasing our first home. It’s stressful enough buying a home in the first place, let alone during this past year of ups and downs with the pandemic. Katya continuously went above and beyond to help us through every step of the process. From laying everything out clearly, step by step, and making sure we understand how everything works, to calming us down after the last minute panic messages we sent to her and reassuring us that everything is alright! I very highly recommend Katya if you are looking for these services! This was an extremely positive and stress-free experience thanks to everything she did to help us! We could not have done it without her!

You were great, you are great and when we purchase our next home, it’s a no-brainer who to call... YOU! If you’re purchasing your first home, or your 100th, Katya is the person to call! Thanks again!

Katya was wonderful to work with! My husband and I purchased our first house a few months ago. The experience of securing a mortgage was entirely new to us, so we had a million questions. Katya was amazing, answered all of our questions, and explained every step of the process so that we felt comfortable and confident that we were making the best decision for us. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and was always quick to get back to us. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her; I highly recommend her!

Kyla charron

As first home buyers, we had no idea what to do or how the process worked. Katya has been AMAZING this entire time. Our case certainly was not an easy one, and we had many questions and concerns. She always made herself available to answer any questions, and kept us in the know. Would highly recommend Katya, especially since she was able to give us an even better rate than the bank we first visited.

It was a pleasure working with Katya as I experienced my first mortgage renewal last year.
