I had been to two banks directly and got nowhere. City Mortgage got my mortgage pre-approved in 5 days. They knew exactly which lender would work for my profile and handled everything. I would never go to a bank directly again.

We switched our mortgage through City Mortgage and saved over AED 3,000 per month. The process took less than 3 weeks and they handled everything with our existing bank. We wish we had done it sooner.
