Listen to what some of our happy clients from the Nanaimo, Parksville, Nanoose, Ladysmith, Duncan and Courtenay areas of Vancouver Island are saying:

"Amazing Mortgage Broker – Helped Us Land Our Dream Home! We can’t say enough good things about Faye and how much she did to help us get our dream home. From the start, she made us feel like a priority, really listening to what we needed, offering great advice, and guiding us through the whole mortgage process in ways we never expected. Faye went above and beyond to secure an amazing rate for us. She even made it happen that we didn’t have to pay off our car loan to move forward with buying our home. We weren’t exactly prepared to buy a house on such short notice, but Faye made it happen. She helped us get our finances in order, eased our worries, and opened doors we didn’t even know were there. We’re so grateful for her hard work, dedication, and care. Faye is our mortgage broker for life, no question! If you’re looking for someone who truly has your back, she’s the one to call. One happy family here!!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH, FAYE!!!"

She also is so generous with sharing her knowledge to educate her clients. And she does it in an easy to understand way. We’ve worked with her over 17 years now and in that time, she is also offered us free advice. She’s straightforward and exceptionally knowledgeable. I strongly recommend working with Faye."

"I recently refinanced my mortgage with the help of Sanddollar mortgages. I found Faye Drope to be a skilled mortgage broker professional. With a previous 25 year career in banking, Faye has vast knowledge in the world of financing with many financial institution contacts to offer her customers. It’s obvious that she enjoys and takes great pride in her work and has the gift of making each client feel comfortable when dealing with sometimes complicated mortgage needs. I feel very confident in highly recommending Faye to my friends and associates. Thanks so much for the great service."
Carol Rae

"Worked with Faye twice now, once to port my mortgage away from the bank I was with and again on a re-finance recently. I moved to Sand Dollar as I didn't like the pushy-high pressure sales vibes at the original bank. No regrets, I know it's still a sales pitch but Faye does a great job of explaining everything and letting you come to your own decisions. Super low pressure and easy to understand. Absolutely recommend Faye and Sand Dollar to set up your mortgage."

I wouldn't go to anyone else."

"So great! When a lot of other lenders were too busy to respond to my mortgage request, Liz responded right away. Communication was frequent and flexible - I hardly pick up the phone, so she sent me everything via email. The rate was excellent, and it even went down from when I got my pre-approval! Would highly recommend. As long as I live on the island, Liz at Sand Dollar will be my go-to for all my mortgage needs."
