Returning client. Once again, Kevin and his team were great to deal with when purchasing my new home. Their communication was terrific, always promptly responding to any questions I had and with providing loan progress updates. They certainly made the purchase process easy. I highly recommend.
Jordan and Kevin were absolute weapons. Me and my partner were content with renting until our landlord decided to sell and we thought we may as well see If it were possible to buy our first home. One call to ALIC and we were on our way. Gave us all the right information and steered us in the right direction. 60 days later and I’m writing this from the couch in my new home. Couldn’t be happier and recommend these legends to anyone looking for a broker. 10/10 would go again.
I've been working with Tash for almost a decade and Jared a couple years. Their work has undoubtedly increased my wealth and their service is prompt and efficient. I'll continue working with them for sure.
My partner and I have only had exceptional experience with Kevin, Jared, and Heath at ALIC. When we were referred to ALIC we had a different property plan in our minds, Kevin talked us through alternatives and, along with his team, has set us up with exceptional growth and future opportunities. We have subsequently referred a number of other people to Kevin and his team. Cannot speak highly enough of ALIC and what they have done to set us up for our future.
We now live in our dream home thanks to ALIC. We were encouraged to purchase an investment property. We bought it for $350K and less that 3 years later, sold it for $572K. We were understandably anxious but Kevin Agent and Jared Agent were exceptional the entire way. We'd like to give a special mention to our client services manager Manish Niraula. His work behind the scenes and his prompt responses along with his delivery of all the information we needed was invaluable to us. His hard work and dedication didn't go unnoticed.
Tash and Rob were fantastic to deal with. They run a really tight ship — communication was prompt, and the spreadsheets and materials they put together for us were clear, efficient, and genuinely helpful in understanding our options. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a broker who's professional, responsive, and easy to work with.
I can’t recommend Natasha and her team enough. They are so friendly, kind and caring very welcoming team. They work fast everything is so straightforward. I only trust these people and they look for the best outcome for the clients. Communication is next level they answer very quickly weather it’s by email or phone. Again very grateful we have found a wonderful team
