I really felt Katy was above and beyond what I expected from a Mortgage Broker. Not only does she know the real estate market extremely well, but she was super responsive to all my questions, even when I had to re-ask questions because I had forgotten the answer. She kept checking in throughout the entire process, unprompted I 100% wouldn't have been able to negotiate through buying my first ever place without her help. If you are looking for a Mortgage Broker, Katy Mackenzie is the person you want.

Working with Katy was a fantastic experience. She stickhandled the purchase of our first home with professionalism and the highest level of client service. Katy was on top of the whole process liaising with the bank and our realtor closing the deal for us while we were on vacation out of cell service. What was a highly stressful situation for myself and my husband, Katy navigated smoothly and made the purchase of our dream home happen for us. I would highly recommend Katy for any of your mortgage needs.

As a young first-time homeowner, I couldn't have asked for a better mortgage broker than Katy. Navigating the purchase of a home is daunting as-is, and my experience was made even more so through COVID-19. In the years we worked together during the completion of my pre-sale condo through to closing, I always had full confidence I could depend on Katy. I had a lot of questions along the way, and with the uncertainty COVID-19 brought, a lot of anxiety to manage. I never felt embarrassed to ask her for clarity or reassurance. I always felt like we were partners with a shared objective, and that meant a lot. I would enthusiastically recommend Katy to anyone and look forward to working with her again in the future!

Katy has been amazing in supporting me through a long and arduous process of refinancing my mortgage in the midst of a separation/divorce. She was attentive, efficient, and successful in accessing a fabulous rate for me. Her prompt communication reassured me that I was in excellent hands. She was collaborative with my notary and checked in multiple times to ensure that my questions and concerns were being addressed. Katy went above and beyond any expectations I had for a mortgage broker, as my previous broker was well-known and respected, but never provided the exceptional level of service, attention to detail and support that I received from Katy. I unequivocally recommend Katy to anyone seeking a personable and understanding professional, with solid skill and dedication.

5 STARS!!! Katy is always a pleasure to work with. As a Notary, I strive to find mortgage brokers who take care of their clients. Not only is she prompt with her service, she finds the best solutions for each and everyone she meets. Katy is knowledgeable, professional and always saves the day!! I highly recommend Katy for all your mortgage needs.

I have complete confidence when I refer Katy to my clients, which is often. She has in depth knowledge of the credit markets and is extremely thorough when dealing with my clients. As a broker I know she looks for the best options for my clients while educating them on how borrowing works in an ever changing environment. And, she always has time for a phone call to answer my questions.

We're first time homebuyers and Katy led us through every single step of the way through the intricate details of our mortgage. Her communication with us was top-notch and didn't mind the billion of questions we threw at her. She pointed us to little bitty expenses that we weren't aware of and prepped us for what was to come when we got our mortgage. All in all, Katy is a magnificent mortgage broker that I highly recommend. From the first in-person meeting when we figured out how much we could afford to our possession date of our first home, Katy was with us along every step of the way and we couldn't be happier with her services.

Katy's simply awesome, and is the whole package. Experienced, business-minded, creative, and very relatable, she is a go-to for all client profiles, and particularly for those with multiple properties or more complex files that demand truly strategic, savvy solutions. Her ability to counsel her clients professionally while building a warm personable rapport is commendable, and I'm always excited when I get to place valued clients in her care. While her eye is clearly ALWAYS on the ball, she's got serious chutzpah and is a ton of fun to work with as well!

I purchased property with my wife Laurissa in November by remortgaging an investment property we've owned for a number of years. Katy was recommended by our real estate agent because of her many years of experience in Vancouver and her in depth knowledge of the options available from numerous lenders. We were disappointed with our local bank when it came to remortgaging a rental property for a down payment toward another rental property. It was with great relief that we found Katy who fully understood our needs and immediately went to work to find us the best interest rate available on the market. We ended up saving between 0.5 - 1.0% on both mortgages which equated to over ten thousand dollars through a five year term. Katy is friendly, personable, knowledgeable and works hard for her clients. We highly recommend her to anyone who's buying property and is looking for the best mortgage deal in the market. We look forward to working with Katy again in the future.

I have known Katy for a few years and have comfortably referred a numerous amount of friends, family and colleagues her way. Katy has delivered time and time again. I always receive positive feedback from my referrals and will continue to send anyone looking for mortgages or advice her way. Thank you Katy for all your hard work and looking after everyone I have sent.

My partner and I used Katy as a mortgage broker for purchasing our new home. It was a very stressful time, because we were selling our old home, and had lots of questions about the process. We interviewed a few mortgage brokers before choosing Katy. We liked her right away because she was very responsive, thorough and personable. Her approach was exactly what was needed in the fast-paced, high stakes Vancouver real estate game. She answered all our questions, and explained the process clearly, the pros and cons and risks associated with each decision. She was absolutely invaluable to us, and was such a great resource. She is professional, experienced and a pleasure to work with. We cannot recommend her enough.
E. Hannon
I have known Katy for the past 10 years. She has helped me through two mortgage terms finding me the best product to suit my needs as well as providing me with invaluable information along the way. She has always be professional, prompt and no pressure in her dealings, introducing me to multiple avenues of acquiring the right mortgage for me. I would highly recommend Katy, she is an absolute joy to work with.

You are excellent at what you do and what you did for our family will never be forgotten. You don’t just help with mortgages, you facilitate futures and bring dreams to reality.
J. Howitt
Honestly, hiring Katy was the best decision! We are a busy family with three young kids. Having a mortgage broker do the work for us saved us time (we don’t have) and a lot of stress. Katy listened to us attentively, she was honest and very professional. I would highly recommend her!
C. Valentin
For first-time home buyers during the COVID-19 pandemic, Katy was amazing! She was recommended to us by our realtor, and was an incredible well of knowledge about the mortgage market. She was super responsive and friendly the whole way and was a great guide, checking in on us frequently and making the task of getting a mortgage very smooth. We had some major pitfalls along the way with job losses, but she got us through it all with ease. We really appreciated her efficiency and calmness through our difficulties, and would absolutely recommend her!
S. Balaji
I have had the pleasure of working with Katy Mackenzie over the past several years. Katy is always fantastic to deal with. She takes the time to answer all of my questions, discusses best options for my personal situation and has walked me through the entire process of both refinancing a mortgage and purchasing a new place. Her knowledge and efficiency are second to none and she was a great reassurance as I navigated the buying/selling/moving process during the COVID-19 period. She has a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to share. I would definitely recommend her!!
N. Cochrane
We are so lucky to have had Katy work with us on our first mortgage. She is absolutely beyond and outstanding!! She truly is. I didn’t worry much throughout the process because she was always on top of everything and made the process very smooth for us. She made sure to always keep us in the loop and follow-up in regards to what we needed to do on our end. She works quickly and thoroughly. She is a joy to work with and we are so grateful for her help! After working with her, you’ll want to refer her to everyone you know, even if they don’t need a mortgage!! THANK YOU SO MUCH KATY!

Katy is very passionate about helping her clients clearly understand the mortgage financing process. Katy is the definition of what a Mortgage Broker should be: professional, available, efficient, knowledgeable, current, patient, relatable and most importantly - trustworthy. Katy really is the best broker in Vancouver!
A. Primrose
I’ve been sending Katy my residential mortgage clients for years and have never heard a negative word said about her services. In fact my clients tend to rave about her ability to safely shepherd them through the lending process, as well as securing them the best rates and terms. She's also been a valuable resource to me personally when it comes to navigating the complex world of mortgages. She responds within minutes and always has the answers to my, and my client's, tricky questions. I would not hesitate to recommend her for all of your lending needs.
