Serguei,
we've received the money from the FHSA. Everything is great!
I wanted to thank you once again on behalf of the whole family for your professionalism.
Four months ago, we turned to Sergey for advice on where to best invest our savings to later use them for purchasing real estate. It turned out that this company provides a full range of financial consultations, including mortgage arrangements.
Last week, we bought our first house in Canada! We are very satisfied with the quality of service!
Thank you so much to Sergey and his team!
We will definitely recommend your services to our friends and acquaintances!

Warm regards,
IGOR SHUNEVYCH

(September 20, 2022) Salvatore and Sandra LaRosa

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Serguei, Galina and the Dominion Lending Team.
When we first came to Serguei we knew that he would help us with the purchase of our home. It took us a long time to find something that we would be comfortable to handle but finally we did.
Serguei, you have been so helpful, and your professional advise gave us hope all the time even when we were worried to face the housing market during the most difficult time.
We always felt a warming welcome every time we called you and you treated us with respect always. When we left your office after signing the papers, my son said that, “Serguei is a very nice man”……and he is right!
Galina has been so patient and kind always. She explained many calculations and procedures to us that made us understand with ease.
Thank you, Galina, for being so courteous and for making us feel important every time.
I will refer family and friends to your Team for sure.
Who knows, maybe our paths will meet again in the future.
From my family we thank you so much for everything!!

Kindest regards,
Salvatore and Sandra LaRosa

Not only you yourself but also your team have offered a very professional and organized approach to make it happen.

Thank you again.

(September 3, 2017) Olga Ilyavina

Hello Serguei,

Thank you so much to you and your team for taking a great care of my mortgage last year and my HELOC just recently. Great work, excellent knowledge and patience from all of you, and as a result, awesome experience for us as your clients.

Now, when our mortgage needs are settled, I am looking for your help with my kids’ RESP. I have been contributing to RESP since my kids were born in 2005 and 2007. I made some progress but I don’t think I managed to take a full advantage of all possible benefits. Having said that, I would like to have a conversation with you regarding my current state of RESP and work together with you on the future state to ensure that my RESP benefits are maximized. I can gather all required information for you prior to our conversation so you would have whatever is required for analyzing my current state. Please let me know what you need (NOA, RESP statements, etc?) and I will gather it and send it over to you. Once its done, maybe we can arrange a phone conversation to review and discuss possible options and a next step.

Thanks again for all your help!

Whenever myself or my family members need financial services or just advice, we turn to Sergey and his staff. And the result is always very impressive.
Even just entering the office of Sergei Totrov, we feel as if visiting good friends. And most importantly is the professionalism of the head of the company and his employees. Thanks to them, my family managed to save significant amounts of money.
I am very grateful to Sergey and warmly recommend his services to everyone in unclear financial situation.

It feels like I’m in permanent touch with you and feels like you’re my personal financial advisors. I was not definitely not expecting this, so thank you very much for this.

Iuri Laiu

Serguei, Svetlana and Valentina!
Just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for the great service you provided. From the beginning, I felt like I was in good hands with the quality of support I received from you.
I know that I may have pushed you at times because of my lack of knowledge about the process and I want to thank you for being patient with me. Yes, everything at the closing went very well and I am extremely pleased with the loans you helped me obtain.
I will recommend you to all I know, and if in the future I need another loan or re-finance, you will be my first call.
You truly are great at what you do!

My name is Anna Skrinnik, I’m the oldest daughter of Boris Skrinnik and Ilona Kolmatskaya. My parents became your clients in 2006.
I’d like to express my sincerest gratitude to Sergei Totrov and his team for informing my parents about RESP education plan and helping them open and maintain their contributions to it.
Having saved that money using RESP has opened a door for me to pursue a post-secondary degree in Physics at York University and had paid for vast majority of my academic spending.
To give an estimate of efficiency and usefulness of opening a RESP for a child: my parents have opened the account in 2006, and by 2012 there was enough money in RESP account to fund 4 years of education: a full post-secondary Bachelors degree.
As a student, I am endlessly grateful to Sergei and his team for letting my parents know about the RESP and helping them maintain a healthy amount of monetary contribution, as the saved money has allowed me to focus on my studies, rather than juggling a job and enormous amount of schoolwork that every major and every student gets in a post-secondary institution.
As a child of the family, I never felt that our family is being financially burdened from making monetary contributions to RESP plans for my sister and I. Having stated that is another reason to praise the outstanding expertise and care of Sergei and his team.
The amazing job that Sergei and his team do will allow a family of any income to successfully and almost effortlessly save up to give their kids a brighter future.

My sincerest gratitude and kindest regards,

My husband and I first invested with Serguei Totrov as our financial advisor over ten years ago. We have been very impressed with his competence and very professional approach. His integrity and knowledge are invaluable. He keeps himself current with the market and new funds that are available.

Throughout the years he has met with us regularly, discussed and updated our financial plan and advised us with regard to purchasing new funds, giving us the personal service that we require.
Serguei is also our life insurance advisor and mortgage broker. He and his amazing team, Global Maxfin Investments Inc., have played an integral role in building our personal financial well-being through RRSPs, TFSAs and great mortgage rates.

They have always been available to answer questions and do the legwork and research to make sure that our investments and life insurance are on track with our needs. We feel as though they truly care about our family, our finances, and our future.

We have been more than pleased with Serguei Totrov individual service and his entire team’s wonderful work.

We have recommended Global Maxfin Investments Inc. to a number of our friends and they also are very happy with the service. I will definitely continue to spread a word about Serguei Totrov’s services and would highly recommend them.

Dear “Totrov’s team” and there BOSS Serguei

I very appreciate hard work what you did to get mortgage for us.

(Feb 18, 2015) Olga Goryunova said:

I have been a client of Serguei Totrov Financial Services since 2009. Serguei have assisted me with many services including medical insurance plans, mortgage services and RESP contract for my son. It is really refreshing to work with a financial adviser who is truly interested in their client’s needs, circumstances and preferences which Serguei and his Team demonstrated over the past years. What really impressed me was the way Serguei took the time to get a feeling for where we were at, his depth of knowledge, and common sense approach. I have been continually impressed with his ability to work within my comfort-level and find me the best deal on the market.

I don’t hesitate to refer Serguei to my friends because I know that they will get the same professional attention that I do. After talking to many people about their financial advisors and mortgage brokers, Serguei is one of the most compassionate and customer oriented individuals I’ve known. I appreciate the experience, professionalism, and dedication of the entire Team we worked with and will continue reaching out to them for my future needs.
