Cynthia was the kindest and most thorough mortgage specialist I have ever worked with. She took the time not only to... explain the terminology to me in the way I could understand it but also create some tools for me to prepare for my renewal. She took the time to hear me out on every level and answered all of my concerns. I couldn't wish for a better person to sit down with. I highly recommend Cynthia! Sit down with her and you will know why.read more

We recently bought our first house through Balance Mortgages. Ed & Cynthia were excellent to deal with and helped us... get through the mortgage process with patience and understanding of circumstances. Because I'm self-employed, there were challenges in getting my income proven. Ed worked with me and my accountant to get everything needed in a timely manner. He helped the mortgage companies understand our situation and we credit both him & Cynthia with getting us an awesome mortgage rate that fit our exact needs. I highly recommend Balance Mortgages and will tell anyone who will listen about them.read more

Cynthia and Ed are the absolute best in the industry! My fiancé and I were buying a fixer-upper and wanted to roll our... renovation costs into the mortgage. We had done our research ahead of time but and Cynthia and Ed were able to find an even better option than we thought possible! We were under tight timelines to get the mortgage approval and they went above and beyond for us to make it happen. They are incredibly knowledgeable, professional and were a pleasure to work with. I definitely recommend them!read more

We were recommended by a friend and we don't regret a thing. Cynthia and Edward Cherie made the experience of buying my... first home painless, extremely smooth and easy. They were incredibly patient, communicated often by phone, and my favorite by text and email, answering promptly and I was never scared or shy to ask silly newbie questions. They walked us through the insane amounts of paper work, making a daunting task easier to digest, and alleviating any fears we may of had. They helped us get us a thorough and in-depth house inspection that I was very happy with. And made negotiation on our house painless, quick and smooth flying!!! Overall spending time house hunting with them was a fun experience, they are full of stories and insight and you aren't uncomfortable through the journey. I highly recommend them as a new buyer or experienced.read more

I can’t thank them enough.read more

Took our first step today towards purchasing our first home! We were nervous and had a lack of confidence. We received... the warmest of welcomes, and we were given total transparency with each step of the process. We were amazed with the wisdom, and caring culture of Balance Mortgages. They work well as a team, and gave us a tremendous amount of confidence!! We look forward to our relationship and our biggest investment ever with Balance Mortgages.read more

Dear Cynthia, Thank you so much for all your help with renewing my mortgage!!! For helping me with the title change... and being so generous with time and information about minimum income needed to qualify for new financing. I’m pretty sure that without you working so hard I would not have secured this awesome 5 year fixed rate. I do NOT take for granted the extra effort you took to carefully analyze my self-employment tax and bank statements during the past 6 months. I know it wasn't easy, but you got it done! While working with you, I noticed that you are extremely knowledgeable about the mortgage industry and that you did an excellent job for me. If I were to rate my overall satisfaction, then 10 out of 10 wouldn’t be enough to cover how much you went above and beyond my expectations. I was so pleased to work with such an intelligent professional and won’t hesitate to recommend your name every time I hear someone telling me about plans for a new home purchase, mortgage renewal or refinancing. I will tell them about your eagerness to do all you could to help despite my challenging mortgage situation. With each low bi-weekly payment, I’ll be thinking about how grateful I was to have had you assisting me with this renewal. I’m already looking forward to having you involved once again 5 years from now. Wishing you all the best, Jack Bornread more
