Ryan O’Hare, CEO

"They’re all legends, and they’ve made my family’s lives better through association with them. Chris, Ben and team have partnered with my wife and I to purchase 3 properties in the last 5 years. I say ‘partner’ because that’s what they’ve done. There can’t be better firms than these guys out there."

We such a great experience working with Alcove on our mortgage. The whole process was incredibly smooth from start to finish. Ben Sum really took the time to understand our situation and made everything feel so personalized and stress-free. Super grateful for Ben and his team’s support and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless and genuinely caring service.

My partner and I shopped around quite a bit for a mortgage broker (from the big names to smaller mum-and-dad firms), but no one came close to the level of expertise and professionalism that Ben and the team showed. Even though we brought them in fairly late in our home-buying journey, their advice gave us confidence in the deal we were making and the risks we were taking. With their support, we ended up finding the place that was right for us. We’ll definitely be working with them again!
