    For the most part, Kevin was lovely, knowledgeable and patient. There were a few times Kevin explained complicated concepts quite quickly. Also, this survey should be in alphabetical order. I almost picked the wrong kevin assuming the list was alphabetical and there were no other Kevin’s.

  • Karen Panico
    September 16, 2020

    Frankly, Kevin came off as a bit condescending in how he spoke to me. I am not an expert at mortgages or buying houses, just as most people are not, so I would expect a mortgage advisor to have more patience in explaining things to a prospective client. Could have had the same conversation in a much more pleasant way. Then he emailed saying sorry we haven’t been able to connect, when I have already spoken to him. Not impressed. Won’t go with them as a result.

  • Pratap Parihar
    April 29, 2020

    Really frustrating and ridiculous behavior. Even after providing tons of information which is already submitted while application, he is unable to provide products matching to requirements. When I visited Website, I was under impression that If I proceed with this company, I will get to know many good directions and products which will help me a lot. After interacting with this guy, it seems like I wasted my entire efforts. He sends email to call, when you call him he will reply those were generic emails, He don't have any information about it. Completely disappointed with CanWise Financials.

    Had a busy week at work. After the very first email from Kevin, I was planning to get back to him on the weekend. During those just three to four days, I received two more follow up emails. It truly turned me off. Seemed desperate. Filling up my inbox unnecessarily. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Will not recommend CanWise, just based on this.

  • Wen Di Bian

    The overall experience is great. Kevin can give me feedback in prompt. His job is great. i am satisfied with that.

    The information listed on the website was very useful. The agent contacted me promptly in a short time after I submitted the inquiry. Quite impressive!

  • Stephanie Whittamore
    May 12, 2018

    He was very prompt in responding but said it wasn't worth putting through a pre-approval application for a better rate than 3.34%, without asking any of my details, which was a bit frustrating.

  • Paula Walmsley
    May 5, 2018

    I didn't speak with him because I decided to stay with my current rate, but he tried to reach me several times through both email and phone. This would have been great if I was deciding on a new rate!

  • Sydney Haley
    March 3, 2018

    Kevin connected with me very fast. He gave me all the nessessary information over the phone. I was a little bit bothered that he could not give me the rate in writing (for whatever reason) and it was very evident he was motivated to sell this mortgage - endless calls/emails. To be 100% honest I was annoyed by the amount of calls I received. I’m sure the nature of his calls had good intentions - like securing a mortgage. However, I would have called back and connected with him at my convenience and/or when a desirable rate came up.

  • Ken Kang

  • Dianne Cormier

    Great insight. Only thing i would advise is to tighten up on the follow up process. Between the time i was contacted by him and the time i am writting this i have learned that i qualify for early renewal. So there will be no penalty. I have since been in contact with another broker and 2 banks, but i value the information Kevin gave me so i will give him a fair shot before i make a decision.
