A resolved individual and brokerage identity, complete Toronto contact path and an established educational practice focused on mortgage structure—not rate advertising alone—create the strongest overall record.
Before sending documents, verify the individual's current licence and exact brokerage. Ask for a written lender shortlist, unavailable direct-only lenders, compensation and fees, insured/insurable/uninsured classification, fixed-versus-variable rationale, prepayment and portability rules, penalty calculation, approval conditions, document list, financing-condition timeline and named closing owner.
Bests first finds a credible field—typically 10 to 15 plausible candidates—then narrows it through identity, location and category fit before the deeper comparison.
01
Discover the real field
A broad local field is assembled from category-appropriate official, regulatory, marketplace, editorial and consumer sources before a smaller shortlist is audited.
02
Read the comments, not just the score
Comments are read across platforms and rating bands for repeated, specific themes. Duplicated language, solicitation patterns, thin listicles and identity confusion are discounted.
03
Apply the category recipe
The final comparison applies a category-specific evidence recipe to the exact entity and location. No single review average, award or owned claim decides the order.
BESTS REVIEW SIGNAL
Repeated themes. Contradictions checked.
Review evidence is read in context across time, rating bands and platforms. Reddit and community discussion can reveal useful texture, but are treated as context—not votes. Potential spam, copied SEO content and identity confusion are discounted privately.
For Paul Meredith — PMT Mortgage, the published fit is supported by repeated evidence around:
Individual and brokerage resolved

Education-led comparison
Bests does not republish selective testimonials or invent a combined rating. Licensed third-party review widgets can be added after a winner claims and verifies its profile.
BADGE & RECOGNITION
A recognition you can verify.
The Bests badge resolves to a live recognition page. Claiming a profile, using a badge or becoming a customer can never improve rank.
