"Our mortgage planners are trained to analyze a customer's current mortgage and/or financial situation in conjunction with their short- and long-term financial goals," said Mauro Appezzato, ALP's president and chief executive officer. "They then guide the customer through the mortgage loan process and work with multiple lenders to negotiate the best deal possible."
