“Jason Keller is a great BDM. Jason is very prompt, efficient & always ready to help. Had been working with Jason for past few years. Jason makes even tough deals work. Look forward to working with you Jason in the future as well for long time productive business relationship.”
“Jessica is an underwriter that saved my deal and I can honestly say that she is the most helpful and accessible underwriter I’ve ever dealt with. Jessica is outstanding !
Jessica took the time to restructure my file when my clients had to address last minute expenses. I also had a great experience communicating with Calvin in funding. He was sensational. CMI really delivers.”

“I am currently a certified Senior Mortgage Broker and I have been in this Financial Industry for more than 35 years plus, just recently I came in contact with CMI and I have already funded more deals than I ever funded - customer service has been excellent personally from the BDM and the fulfillment staff - delivery has been excellent and most of all funding and completion has been wonderful - I am so happy that I actually met with this company and an awesome BDM - thank you ....”
“OI applied for a mortgage, provided all documents and left a deposit of $500. During the process I had an accident and was in the hospital for several days and out of touch with the world. My broker assumed I was no longer interested since he couldn't reach me and cancelled the process. They cancelled my file so therefore I lost my $500 deposit which I can really use right now. I wonder if they arbitrarily just cancel deals and collet deposits ?”
Hello Michael,
Thank you for sharing your feedback and allowing us the opportunity to clarify.
Mortgage origination involves careful coordination by several parties, including lawyers and appraisers, and there are costs incurred in this process. For this reason, CMI collects a deposit on all mortgage files to ensure that these costs are recaptured in the event a deal is cancelled.
Because CMI lends exclusively through mortgage brokers, who act on behalf of borrowers, we took your mortgage broker’s instructions to cancel your mortgage. This cancellation resulted in your deposit being forfeited.
We understand this is disappointing; however, all mortgage terms, including fees and deposits, are clearly detailed in the Mortgage Commitment you signed with your broker and legal counsel.
We hope this helps to clarify. Please feel free to contact us if you have questions or would like to discuss further.
“This is written because of the outstanding service received from both Robby Parmar & Umang Mehta. I have said this to you both “time and again” the reason we send business to your company, is because of you!
You continually support us with your friendly, professional service to resolve any issues presented to you.
Your knowledge of products and your willingness to assist is well appreciated by me and all my brokers.
Thank you keep up the good work.”
“As a broker, I appreciate a lender who is easy to work with and works with you to ensure your client is happy and has a good product. I personally work with John Walsh at CMI he will always be my choice at CMI. He was there when I first started as a mortgage broker and helped me learn a lot both about lending with CMI and mortgage in general. CMI is lucky to have John!
CMI as a lender is easy to work with and has products that will fit your needs. They are also easy to contact if you have questions about the life of your client's mortgage.”
“Working with CMI and specifically Akhtar Manek is always exceptional! He has always secured excellent rates and ensured smooth and stress-free experience for my clients. Communication is always impeccable, and he offers a tailored solution to each deal. Highly recommend!”
“Don't use these crooks EVER! A $54,000 cost over $70,000 by the time they charged their lending fee, discharge fees, lawyer fees, etc. etc. etc. STAY AWAY!”
Thank you for making us aware of your recent experience.
In keeping with our commitment to complete transparency, we take our disclosures very seriously. As part of our standard process, borrowers are advised upfront of all terms and conditions of their contract, including fees, at the time they sign the Mortgage Commitment with their mortgage broker and legal counsel. We proactively advise all borrowers to review their agreements with an independent legal professional before signing.
We’d like to better understand what happened with your file so we can address your concerns. We encourage you to please contact us at brokerescalations@thecmigroup.ca so we can investigate further.
Thank you again for your feedback.
“Working with CMI through our brokerage, we've found they can help a lot of our clients when banks give up on them. Our rep John is responsive, helpful and makes sure we can find a solution for every client.”
“I would not recommend CMI to anyone.
The unprofessionalism was mind blowing.
I had a very time sensitive matter in closing out a mortgage with them.
When I called I explained that to the woman on the phone, she assured me I would receive a call back that afternoon if not the next day. I never received a call back.
They added charges on my closure without telling me, would not respond to any emails/ phone calls.
Definitely rip you off.”

“We have been working with CMI for a number of years and they have demonstrated their ability to improve upon their systems and processes for efficient funding. Jason has been an outstanding BDM, who also shines with his ability to underwrite our transactions. His attention to detail and record-setting response times are only a few of his excellent qualities. When working with Jason, we know that we are working with a BDM committed to providing the best solution available for our clients and finding flexibility where required to ensure funding. Always a pleasure working with both CMI and Jason, looking forward to funding many more deals year after year.”
“Jason Keller , my BDM, was simply put , amazing to work with . Communicated brilliantly , stayed on top of the file , and just a pleasure to work with . Navpreet was also so on top of things , she made things go so smoothly . Appreciate the teamwork and look forward to working together again! Always a solution with Jason !”
“When I have a deal that I can't place with an A lender I reach out to Kiersti through email with details. She is quick to reply to me and asks for any clarification, usually with a phone call. Once I submit the deal I hear from CMI quickly with an offer that they have me run past my clients. If I don't like something, or the client doesn't like something CMI is responsive to feedback. Closing is smooth with them and Kiersti is a great advocate for brokers and clients. Thumbs up!”
