Real Stories from Real Owners

Jake and his team did a great job taking us through pre-approval over the weekend so we could secure our offer. They followed this up with a fast approval process despite a few complications on our end. All along they were highly communicative of the process and always available to answer any questions we had.

Jake was great, walked us through the process of everything that went into getting financed. He also answered our (several) questions patiently and in a way that made it easy for a layman to understand. Helped tell us the differences and benefits of lengths of loan, refinancing, and any other questions we had along the way.

I have been working with Schoemann Team since 2018 when I needed my first mortgage! Since then, I have secured several more personal mortgages for investment properties I have purchased over the years. With this team, you will get unrivaled customer service, unbelievable attention to detail, and a thoughtful approach to the entire home buying experience. You will leave your first conversation feeling heard and educated- whether it's your first mortgage or your 10th. Knowing that when I needs something, Jake and his team are truly just a phone call away. No calling a random 1-800 number and having to start over with each new person you meet along the way. The individuals who make up Schoemann Team will know who you are and are up to speed on the details of your loan no matter what phase it is in. This team will work tirelessly to get you the best possible product for your unique situation and make the entire process feel simple.
