Sheena – We send our sincerest thank you for all of your positive effort in negotiating, pestering and hounding everyone that required it (including ourselves sometimes) to help us make this arrangement a reality!.  S has likening it to the ‘Everest of mortgage attempts’!!   I can’t believe we started these conversation last year in November. 

 It has been so important for us as you know to secure this opportunity for our own sound financial future and the benefit of our family over the long-term.  Your diligence and positive attitude and was a pleasure to work with even when the news was not positive!  Thank you again for you dedication to getting this through for us!  We set up an account immediately today and transferred everything to it and had a great experience in their app and in the branch, so it may really taint our brand loyalty!

However, Sheena DeGroot and Select Mortgage win the Amazing Race!  (E is a runner up because she had to travel the farthest!)

Take care and many appreciative thanks again!

Sheena was awesome! She always seemed a step ahead of everyone else involved in the transaction. She was always available for questions and was happy to do everything over the phone and online which was critical while I wasn’t in Victoria. Extremely helpful!

Good morning Sheena,

I hope you are doing well. I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for your outstanding support throughout the mortgage process.

I never got an opportunity to email you before we moved because I was extremely busy with packing and moving.

S, G, and I are very grateful for the outstanding support as we found and moved into our new home.
Happy holidays! β˜ΊοΈ

With gratitude,
OC

Sheena's most valuable strength is her deep knowledge of the mortgage process, from the most complicated circumstances to the more mundane details. This accumulated experience was indispensable for a client like me who is not familiar with the mechanics of such an important part of most people's lives. I, in fact, switched to work with Sheena to draw from the wealth of knowledge that was lacking in someone else at another institution.

Sheena de Groot, at the West Shore branch is the best in the business, you would be lucky to have her help with your mortgage!
Sheena walked us through every step of the process in getting our first home. We feel very fortunate that a friend suggested Sheena at Select Mortgage. We knew absolutely nothing and Sheena went above and beyond explaining everything in a simple and informative way. We will be forever grateful for her help. Thank you Sheena, and your coworkers. We are incredibly happy 😊

March 2024:

My partner and I dropped into Select Mortgage without an appointment, but with a desire to finally start tackling the seemingly overwhelming process of buying a condo as first time home buyers.  Sheena was so unbelievably gracious.  She walked us through every detail, answered our many questions and got us tips and suggestions to get on track to start the process.  We walked out feeling like the process was so much less daunting than we had expected and, in fact, felt confident about everything going forward.  Sheena earned our trust, she was attentive, diligent about details, anticipatory of our questions / concerns, and explained things so well.  She checked in regularly, sometimes even just to see how we're feeling about everything.  Sheena was even flagging things in our strata docs to look into before our realtor did.  We felt absolutely spoiled by her service every step of the way.  Once all our conditions dropped off, we expected things to go quiet until our close in 3 months. Nope!  Sheena reached out several times to let us know she got us another even lower rate, in the end saving us thousands of dollars.  If you are reading this to see if Sheena will be a good fit for you, your search should stop here.  There's no better decision. Sheena has reminded us that even though we've closed, she is just a phone call away for any future questions.  We will certainly be contacting her again for our renewal.  Thank you Sheena for making our home purchase dreams come true!

We just bought our first house with Sheena and I could fill the page with praises for her. Sheena amazingly easy to talk to, she is lightning fast and detailed in her responses, and she took what felt an unobtainable dream and made into our reality. I personally am not extremely well versed in the finance world so I felt very anxious first starting our venture into homeownership. Sheena was able to explain every step in a way that made it feel like a cake walk. We are extremely grateful to have found Sheena and I HIGHLY recommend her.
