There's not enough stars to give Harmeet and her team of superstars! Exceptional service, fabulous result! Harmeet provided a solution that enabled us to transition our home into an investment property (with our bank's proposal we needed to sell) and buy our new home without a bridging loan. All this within an impossibly tight timeline (at every turn we were told what we were attempting time wise couldn't be done). Harmeet worked tirelessly to get us across the line, and all with a fabulous smile! The long term benefits of keeping our other home will be reaped for years to come. Hugely happy and would highly recommend (though go early in the process not somewhere near the end like we did). Truly outstanding service. Thank you!
