For years I did my own taxes. Then I took them to a woman who did them privately. She screwed them…read moreup and I ended up having to pay plus a fine. So I took them to one of those tax places that are in malls. Because I had been audited the year before they audited me again. They wanted to see all my tax receipts. So I sent in everything I had. The amount I claimed and the amount I had receipts for didn't match. I knew I had given the receipts to the tax people. They denied having the receipts. So again I ended up paying more plus a fine. Ten months later I received the receipts from this firm apologizing for overlooking returning them to me. THAT is when I started to use Murray Wiseman. He has been doing my taxes for the past six years and I have never had a problem with the tax people. I feel secure in knowing that they are done properly and quickly. For those who don't know you can claim part of the fee as a deduction on your next years taxes. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Wiseman's firm. By the way, I am a retired person who has no property, investments etc.so my taxes are not that complicated.

My mother went to buy car insurance before it expires on December 24, 2018. The fat Chinese older…read morewoman at the front desk was rude, incompetent, and seem to just take the money order. She gave my mother another customer's car insurance print form after taking the money order. She refused to answer phone calls, refused to correct her mistakes, told my mother to sit and wait, until my mother yelled at her to stop messing around and print her the correct car insurance forms because she had already gave out the decal sticker. She even claimed there was no record even after she took the money order. This broker deserves zero stars for this staff's rude, incompetent, unprofessional service. She was behaving like a total bitch and purposefully so. My mother told her she thought she would not dare to be so bad if she was not another Chinese person, but a white caucasian senior female customer. I think the staff person is named Peggy? I feel like it was connected to a part of some Organized Harassment by others behind the scene (Youtube: Exposing Proxy Stalking Organized Harassment/Targeted Individuals and Perp TV).

Extremely unprofessional and irresponsible. Stay away! Alex was the original mortgage broker. He…read morelied to me for over 3 months stating that they were expecting mortgage approvals from TD and ScotiaBank. He recommended the high net worth program without understanding the rules himself. After 15 mins of Google search, I learned 90% of what he said about the rules were completely wrong. David the owner took over with 2 weeks to closing attempting to save the file because there were so many mistakes on the original TD and Scotiabank applications that resulted in TD rejecting the application and Scotiabank requiring to redo the application from scratch. David made even more mistakes by omitting over 50% of my income on the application which resulted in Scotiabank forcing me to liquidate over $220k in stocks increasing my tax bill by over $100k at the very last minute. All of their mistakes almost led to missing the closing date and losing my property. I personally talked to TD myself after closing and was able to get a mortgage directly from TD at a better rate and higher amount (1.25% $1.565 million) but I have to pay the penalty ($7,000) to discharge the bad mortgage from Scotiabank to switch TD. Olympic mortgage is now refusing to take any responsibility for the damages their negligent actions caused. David LIED saying they will use the commissions (over $14k) they received from the deal to make up for the mistakes they made but they have paid me $0 and they kept all the commissions. 5 different mortgage specialists at TD I talked to said they have no idea what these mortgage brokers did that led to TD rejecting my application. Even before working with these mortgage brokers, I already had a conventional 20% down preapproval from TD. So what did I get for working with these mortgage brokers? 2 weeks of incredible stress and almost losing the property, $7,000 of penalties/fees to discharge the bad mortgage terms they got me, $100,000+ increased tax bill for 2021, a worse mortgage rate of 1.35%, a worse amount of $1.495 million, having to pay for the appraisal which they said they would reimburse
