Tekamar as it is today, was built on the foundations of simplicity, honesty and integrity. That's what we strive for, and that is what we do. Tekamar Mortgages is an independent mortgage brokerage. That means that we operate as an independent business without influence from the lenders we choose to deal with.
New in Salmon Arm, still a student, and having just entered the workforce, I'm cautious and have many questions as a first-time home buyer. Tekamar made me feel very welcome and comfortable! They supplied me with key information on home buying beforehand, listed for me things to consider when budgeting, and are very clear and open about their process.

To say that Rich Smith is a miricle-worker would be an understatement. Not only did he get us a great mortgage (from 5,000 kms away no less) but he also did so in a very short amount of time. We have dealt with two brokers in town before so I am confident in saying that Rich is THE best person to have on your side. He is productive, efficient, comitted, empathetic, and positive...when we would come across a road block and other brokers would say nothing else could be done, Rich found a way. Myself, my husband, and our children will forever be grateful for the work he put in to get us into our forever

This was a second opportunity to work with Tekamar Mortgages Ltd. Several years ago Tekamar Mortgages Ltd. Broker Ester Arrowsmith took on the request to put together a lender with our son, who was purchasing his first home. Ester kept our son informed all through the process, and passed on the agreement between the lending institution and himself with only signatures required. I recognized the value of an experienced broker, searching for best value for her customers's need and to top it off, everything was kept local.
This summer my wife and I experienced the same customer service excellence
