Amazing service by Matt and the team! Their communication was excellent and they explained everything thoughtfully, which was especially important being a first-time-loaner. The comparison meeting and how-to video for signing the documentation was especially helpful! Would highly recommend.
We would like to thank Matthew and his team for recently helping us to renegotiate the interest rates for our existing Investment property loans. We have had previous dealings with him over the past years and have always found him very knowledgeable in his profession and easy to deal with. He and Isah found us the best deal by providing us with interest rates from several banks to choose from. The set up of the loans were done via email and digitally which made life easy for all of us without having to meet and sign paperwork etc.
Incredible Support for First-Time Buyers! I can't thank Key Choice Lending enough for helping me through the process of buying my first home. From start to finish, Matt and the team were there to guide me, making sure I understood every step. They were always available for any questions I had and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and exciting. I'm so grateful for their professionalism and support—I highly recommend Key Choice Lending!
A stress free first home buying experience! My sister and I went through key choice, as first home buyers, we couldn't be happier! we went into this process unsure and not confident but Matt, Ron and the team have made this long journey nothing but a breeze!! they've guided us through this process with so much patience, answering any questions we had straight away and made sure we felt comfortable from start to finish. I couldn't recommend this team enough!
