"On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best, we would rate our experience as a 10!  With being first time home buyers and being unfamiliar with the house buying process, we felt extremely well informed and organized with Jim Cook.  He explained all steps in great detail and was always readily available to answer questions by both phone and/or email.  It was also appreciated that he was flexible with meeting times, being available outside of normal business hours"
      Laura Minns & Chris Misch, Port Elgin, October 2010

      "heartily recommend your services"
"The service we received from Jim was certainly nothing less than a 10.  He kept us informed throughout the process and took care of all the little details that arose.  It made what could have been a very tedious and potentially frustrating exercise for us into a pain-free, pleasant experience.  I would heartily recommend your services to anyone seeking a mortgage."
      Wade & Janice Gibson, (PWU), Kincardine, October 2010

      "we truly were given a first class, professional service"
"I would rate this whole experience with Jim and Mortgage Intelligence as a solid 10 out of 10!!

I do not rate this number solely for the purpose of giving a good rating. We truly were given a first class, professional service. I called the company based on an Internet ad as we were looking at a mortgage for a new home we bought in Hanover Ontario. Jim answered the phone. Within 30 mins of talking and answering some questions we were well on our way to solidifying a deal.

After only a couple email messages back and forth and a phone call or two, Jim was able to put together a fabulous package for us. It was really a pleasure to deal with a Professional. There was not one "snag" so to speak, everything was put together and prepared for our signatures with no stress and anxiety on our part. We have and will continue to refer your office of Mortgage Intelligence!"
      Peter & Kathy McEwen, Police Inspector/Nurse, Guelph, March 2010

      "he was there with us at every step"
"We
were very impressed with the services provided by Mortgage Intelligence, Kincardine. We were especially impressed with the knowledge and experience Jim brought to our team. He was there with us at every step and always made sure we were informed with the latest updates. Even after the sold sign went up he was fighting to get us the best rate possible. We recommend Jim and Mortgage Intelligence to anyone and everyone, a definite 10 out of 10!"
       Eric Dunn & Karen Day, Bruce Power, Port Elgin, March 2010

      "good advice"
"Thank you for all of the help & good advice you gave us [Tony] & I will definitely endeavour to send business your way in the future."
       Mike Vella, Pilot, Ancaster, February 2010

       "professional, friendly, tenacious and insightful"
"Our experience with Jim Cook of Mortgage Intelligence has been excellent.  He has been professional, friendly, tenacious and insightful at every step of the process.  We could not have made this purchase without his help.  On a scale of 1-10 the service has been an 11."
        Aaron Klassen & Elizabeth Conerly, AMEC, Kincardine, January 2010

        "Our Sincerest Thanks"

        Chris Simoes & Anne Haslett, Oakville, January 2010

        "the service was excellent"
"The service was excellent. Jim was informative and called to inform how things were progressing. [It was] the first time I understood the mortgage information as it was explained well and Jim reduced the stress. I have recommended your services to many others and will continue to do so."
        Patti Boron, Nurse, Kincardine, December 2009

        "Jim was very professional and patient with me and my family"
"I would definitely rate Jim at least a 10,  the service was more than I expected. When I had questions (and I had a lot) there was always a quick response.  Jim was very professional and patient with me and my family. I would definitely recommend him to anyone."
        Carrie Twolan, Kincardine, October 2009

        "the service was second to none"
"The service we received was second to none. We probably would not be in our new house if it were not for Jim answering the call. Even though it was very late in the evening! Nothing but GREAT things to say about our whole experience!"
        Peter & Suzanne Gibson, Kincardine, September 2009

        "Jim was a tremendous help to us"
"We would definitely rate your service a 10.  Jim was able to accommodate our work schedules and was very knowledgeable and informative.  Even the footwork he did between our real estate and lawyers offices was a tremendous help to us."
        Mike & Heather Grondin, Superheat/Nurse, Kincardine, September 2009

        "I was truly impressed..."
"I was truly impressed when I called Jim the first time just to inquire about his services and before the end of that day had a pre-approval in my hand at a rate lower then I thought possible. Throughout the whole process Jim always took the time to answer the wide array of questions we had as first time homebuyers...so I think that deserves a 10 rating in my book."
        Mike & April Sutton, Bruce Power, Hanover, August 2009

        "On a scale of 1-10, I would rate the quality of service as 11."
"On a scale of 1-10, I would rate the quality of service as 11.  Jim was incredibly helpful from the moment we walked in the door, to after we'd moved in.  During our initial meeting with Jim, he assessed our knowledge of the home purchasing process incredibly well.  He was very thorough in explaining what was going to happen and when this would occur.  If he thought he was overloading us, he would stop and check to make sure we understood everything.  He explained all of our options and in my opinion offered solid advice at every point where a decision was to be made.  Jim gave us a package of information about mortgages that was incredibly helpful as a reference guide.  One of the key things that Jim did for us was to stay in contact on a regular basis and update us in terms of rates, progress, etc.  I never once felt like we'd been forgotten about or pushed to the side.  In short, if we include all the people that were involved in the process of our purchasing a home, Jim was easily the most informative, helpful, prepared of the bunch.  If we ever plan on purchasing another property, the first call I make before talking to anyone else about it will be to Jim Cook."
        Bill Morrison, Painter, Kincardine, Jul 2009

        "Dog with a bone attitude"
"Thank you so much for all your hard work on this one I know it would never have happened if we went the bank route or for that matter through another broker - you went the extra mile it seemed on a daily basis and I knew from experience that your "dog with a bone attitude " would result in a successful conclusion."
        John & Jane Sangster, Realtor, Kincardine, July 2009

        "It was a pleasure working with Jim"
"It was a pleasure working with Jim - he was wonderful with us, very patient and helpful - he took the time to make sure we understood what we were getting into.  He was always quick to answer our questions and we feel that he went out of his way for us.  We recommend him to all our friends and family :)"
        Katherine Mullin & Greg Thede, Veternarian/AECL, Port Elgin, June 2009

        "10 out of 10 without a doubt!!!!!! He made it happen!!!"
"We can't say a bad thing about our experience with Jim Cook.  He is an amazing person and we do nothing but recommend him.  We even have his business cards in our house we are trying to sell right now for those going through it.  He is extremely thorough and we never had to wait for any information we were inquiring about. 10 out of 10 without a doubt!!!!!!!  Thank you Jim for everything.  He made it happen!!!"
        Michelle & Adam Kraemer, Kinfarm, Kincardine, June 2009
