Services
The First Foundation philosophy is to be small enough to know your name, but big enough to save you money. We're an Alberta financial service company with offices in Edmonton, and we're proud to call this city home. We've brought together mortgage brokers, insurance brokers, and financial services in one organization to bring our Edmonton clients the best service.
Red Deer is Alberta's third-largest city and one of the most beautiful communities in Western Canada. Now over 150 years old, Red Deer is a great place to live, work, play, and raise a family! Red Deer is situated in central Alberta, right on Highway 2 and near the midpoint of the Calgary-Edmonton Corridor.
First Foundation is the first stop for people in Calgary who want to save money on their insurance, mortgages, and other financial services. Our unique combination of being both an Alberta brokerage and a financial services company gives our clients a wide range of solutions. You can contact our Calgary office to discuss your mortgage and insurance needs any time, or complete the entire process online if you prefer a hands-off approach.
Mortgages in Saskatchewan can be a tricky subject. It was the farmer's mistrust of the banks in Saskatchewan around the time of the Great Depression after many financial institutions foreclosed on family farming operations which led to the formation of co- operatives. Fast forward to the 21st century, and many Canadians still mistrust banks.
At First Foundation we don't see our job as helping you to get a mortgage, our job is to help you own your home sooner. We do this by matching your home ownership wants and needs with the appropriate Canadian mortgage lender and mortgage product. Quickly, easily, and with the savings and protection you deserve.

Once again Kelly has worked hard to help us renew our mortgage while making it so easy for us. She was very knowledgeable and helped us to find the best scenario for our circumstances and patiently answered all of our questions. Kelly has helped us from the purchase of our first home, then our forever home and multiple mortgage renewals. Every meeting has been such a positive experience, I'd recommend her every time.

I highly recommend Jason Dodd for anyone looking for a mortgage broker. Jason has helped with my first home purchase a few years ago. I first talk to my bank, and not satisfied, called Jason, within hours he had a few offers for me to choose from, all of them with better rate and better terms. He has been a great help ever since, always eager to share his knowledge and advice.

So many post in here, almost all passing the same information, they all promise to make lots of dollars for you. they claim to have earned thousands from binary options, don't fall for their tricks. It is true forex/binary trade can change your life financially but sadly scammers are making sure it doesn't, I have a legit and reliable forex/binary… trader that trades for me for over 7 months now, you can reach him on email:dollerryjohn@gmail.com WhatsApp:+19283161467 Don't fall in the hands of a scammer before you know who's real and who's not. you deserve to be financially free.

I dealt with Lyndsay Ratson almost a year ago and honestly she is the best insurance broker I have ever made business with. She was always on time, gave me the best options, explained everything in details, and above all was very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend her without hesitation :)

After numerous attempts to deal with my current insurance company I finally got into contact with Lyndsay Ratson at First Foundation . She was absolutely phenomenal to deal with and addressed my concerns and issue immediately. Within the day I had all my Questions answered and clarified. Very professional and went over and above to help. The second time I called because of a concern I was talked to immediately by Tom Boshoff who contacted spoke to Lyndsay and things were immediately resolved. Insurance is not always pleasant to deal with but First Foundation and these to professionals were awesome

I originally started with a different insurance company and although they were good to deal with in the beginning, that quickly changed when my friend left. I was pleased to learn that the company was taken over by first foundation and could notice a difference right away in the service I got. Of particular note, Lyndsay Ratson became my new account manager and I couldn’t be happier. She is always very courteous on the phone and prompt with her responses to emails and messages. She also gives a thorough explanation of any changes being made to my coverage. I would highly recommend her expertise

I ABSOLUTELY enjoyed working with these guys! Highly recommend contacting them.
Angela Epp looked after my application and from the first contact up to the last minute of getting my mortgage approved (at the best rate in the market I might add) she was on top of things. Angela worked overtime to make sure my mortgage application went through and my financing condition was met in time.
BEST service and highly professional.

I just renewed my mortgage with Kelly at First Foundation.
She took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions in an easy to understand manner and simply put, made the process super easy.
She promptly replied to my emails and if she didn't answer my calls right away she called back apologizing... I can't say enough good things about Kelly. Also, she has a great sense of humor :)
Excellent service all around.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, tenacious, and patient, mortgage broker, you will find these qualities in LeeAnn at First Foundation. Our mortgage was not complicated, but did have some moving parts and we wanted to ensure all of our land would be taken into account for our mortgage. LeeAnn never gave up in getting us what we wanted and needed. LeeAnn is our mortgage broker super-hero.

Amazing, We used Kelly Seegerer from the calgary branch for a few properties now and she has never let us down. Our last deal was a very fast turn over and she was on top of everything. Very stress free and incredibly organized she made the process enjoyable. Thank you again Kelly for everything i would highly recommend using her.

These guys are amazing. I decided to buy a house here in Edmonton and I thought to myself, "self, you should get a broker". And, so I did.
It's been a few years since I have been in the house buying game and life had afforded me some interesting knocks as it tends to do. I randomly chose Gord out of the pleth of ads for this type of service and am I glad I did.
Completely seamless process, they stepped up and got it all done, even hooked me up with the ATB (who I also love) for a nifty new credit card, looked after my home insurance needs and auto stuff too.
All at rates that

I first used First Foundation 5 years ago when I was looking for a new mortgage for my primary residence. I had shopped around at all the big banks first and then gave First Foundation a chance to see what they could do. They impressed from the start. They beat the rate at the bank and they gave me much better service than I was getting anywhere else.
Since then First Foundation has secured a few more mortgages for me and each time they beat the rates from the banks. What I really appreciate about FF though is the fact that everyone I have dealt with there is a pleasure to work with and
