Get Expert Advice You Need, And The Rates You Deserve

We keep things simple with fast, hassle free service. No hard sells. No obligation. Just the best rates around and fee-free advice.

As a financial advisor, I can’t stress how important it is to have a great team of lending professionals. Working with Bernadette and Vaneesh was a very refreshing experience. If you like feeling well looked after, being able to trust that your broker has your best interest at heart then Karista is a great place to go for a mortgage. Being one of the largest and most important transactions of my family’s life to date, it was nice to have a well versed team of professionals taking care of us. We definitely didn’t have the time to shop banks ourselves. I will definitely recommend friends, family and clients to Karista.

Finally feeling settled in our new home. A huge thanks to Vaneesh Dass and the Karista team for for putting up with us looking at countless properties before finding the perfect place, and making the mortgage process as painless as it could possibly be!

For me trust is a very important factor and the most valuable are the follow ups… calls and reminders. I am looking for the sincerity of service more than the business transaction. I really felt the sincerity. Karista does it not for the business but to help people. They did everything perfectly for me. And even now they still call. Other brokers would not do that. I love the personal connection!

Bernadette does whatever she can for the best for her clients. I found everything perfect regarding customer service, time, and I got the best result.

We were comfortable knowing that you were available to answer all our questions without having to repeat ourselves, or to be passed around. We trusted you and you explained in words we can understand everything we needed to know in the world of “mortgages & interest”. We can explain our feelings without hesitation in our own language... We have lots of things to thank the Karista team for.

Service par excellence! Bernadette has been helping us with our mortgage for the past 8 years. She's not only our mortgage consultant but most importantly, a friend we can count on in times of need. She has her own effective ways of explaining the details of homebuying and can get you the best rate in the market. Her service does not stop with clients getting the mortage rate they deserved and moving-in in their homes, she also throws Client Appreciation Event annually by giving us free movie screening - a deed she doesn't need to give,IMO, but is always appreciated.

Karista Team is the best! I am giving them an excellent service rating! They helped me buy my first ever rental property. In the process, they went above and beyond the call of duty. They did all the work while I was vacationing in Europe and worry nothing until all papers are done. They taught me how to sign my documents electronically with ease. I highly recommend Karista Team for your next property purchase. They are a professional mortgage broker that you can trust all the way. Greatly appreciate all your hard work, thank you Bernadette, Krystle and Sheilla.
