The communication by the lending team was outstanding, we had regular updates and everything new stage of the process. Jake and the team always made themselves available if we need some questions answered. I would highly recommend the empower wealth team for anyone interested in getting new lending or looking to refinance an existing mortgage.

We’ve had nothing but all wonderful experience with Empower Wealth Mortgage Broking Team. They helped us first in our first investment property purchase about 2 years ago and this time we approached them again for assistance in refinancing to release equity. The level of service is always the same, it is top notch! Shout out to Jake, Clay and the team. You guys did it again! We appreciate you!

We were very impressed with the whole process. The team made it streamlined and simple to understand. We were very happy with the results and have already recommended Empower Wealth to others. Thanks again.

Empower Wealth have been everything that we'd hope they be! From the initial online meeting with our broker Jake, to the final confirmation email after settlement had taken place, Empower Wealth always had our best interests at heart. They guided us through our investment property purchase with calmness, insight and professionalism. I'd strongly recommend working with Empower Wealth in the future.
