As a first home buyer, I was frankly stressed about the whole ordeal. I wanted to get the best rates and work with someone who could sincerely understand my needs. Someone who could teach me the fine art of Zen meditation to help calm my "first home owner anxiety syndrome ". Well, I didn't get that from the bank. Nope. No Smiling Buddhas there, that was for certain. So, a compassionate colleague of mine suggested I give Mark a call. It turned out that was the Best decision I could have made. Mark immediately addressed my concerns and came up with numbers lower than my bank offered. This was at no cost to me of course. He actually answered his phone when I bombarded him with questions - all in a professional And totally likeable manner. I actually felt at ease for the first time. Anyway, if you want a smart, professional and caring broker - go to Mark. If you don't? Just go to your bank for your mortgage needs. Believe me, you'll thank me later. read more

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of dealing with Mark Herman over the past 4 months. We were very selective during our house-buying process and we couldn't have asked for a more patient, responsive, understanding individual than Mark. My wife and I are relatively new to the country, which made getting approved for a mortgage a little more difficult, but this did not discourage Mark in anyway; He is truly a master at his craft and we would recommend him and his services to those closest and most important to us. Mark, we really appreciate all that you did for us and we're just incredibly thankful for all the help and guidance you provided us with. read more

I have known Mark for 8 years. Mark's knowledge and professionalism with mortgages is unsurpassed by any I have dealt with in my over 10 years as a Realtor. Mark has no problem taking the time to explain the details of a mortgage to my clients or informing them what documents they will need. If the time is not right to get a mortgage, he will give you advise on how to improve your credit score which for some is extremely helpful. Mark's follow up and punctual response time is impressive. This is why I give a 5 star endorsement and thank you for all your advise over the years. read more

I called Mark yesterday with a mortgage emergency as our bank pulled our financing due to it being a remediated grow op (a very nice one surprisingly!). He was very personable and knowledgeable and said he would search around for me. About 15 minutes later he called back with someone who could help at a great rate ( even better than our own bank was offering). It wasn't one of his own lenders so it was of no benefit to him personally but the fact that he still helped out at lightning speed was impressive! Go and see him, you won't regret it! Thanks Mark :) read more

My Family and i have been dealing with Mark and Katie for nearly 2 years now. Our credit rating was not good due to an issue with a credit card. However Mark and Katie had helped us to restore our credit to a " Good " rating. What a shame i decided to go self employed, another hurdle to overcome. One more year to go due to the banks requiring 2 years Tax returns. Roll on February 2017. Thank you Mark and Katie for keeping us on the straight and narrow. Great service, positive attitude, Honest and to the point. Thanks guys and best wishes. Adam & Karen read more

Mark Herman renewed our mortgage 5 years ago. He was a standout person from other Mortgage people in the fact that he wanted to help and was willing to dig to get a great rate. Mark and I spoke recently about our renewal, and even though he was unable to help us, he offered to help out to read over the mortgage papers for no charge and assist us with his expertise! Wow, not many people would offer that when no money goes into their pocket. Very refreshing in today's hurried society. We would recommend dealing with Mark for sure! read more

I just want to say a BIG thank you to Mark! Unfortunately, because my situation was probably the most difficult ones out there, he wasn't able to help. It's pretty bad! I have tried a few brokers and none of them gave any effort into at least trying to help. Mark seriously tried everything he could. I'm confident, beyond any doubt, that if he wasn't able to get me a mortgage, no one can. When my wife and I are ready to buy, we will most definitely be calling Mark. Thanks!! read more

As a mortgage broker, simply put, Mark Rocks. I have been using him and recommending him to clients for about 5 years and he has never let me down. Ever. He and his team are truly "go-to" people and their mortgage system is second to none, as is their concern for clients and attention to detail. I don't think I could possibly give a higher recommendation. Ben Sweet http://www.AllCalgaryListings.com read more

I was very impressed with Mark's service. After investing a significant amount of time researching options, he ultimately advised me to stick with my current mortgage provider - putting my interests ahead of his own.

As a first time home buyer, I had limited knowledge of mortgages and their various features.
