Dorothy’s dream: BMO makes homeownership a reality in LA
After years of searching for just the right place to call home, BMO client Dorothy got the keys to her new LA condo in 2025. She says that from the first moment she saw the photos, the condo felt right.
For many people, homeownership is a dream come true – one that sometimes feels far out of reach. That’s how Dorothy felt for a long time, especially in the high-priced, competitive real estate market of Los Angeles. She credits BMO with helping her take the leap.
“BMO was there every step of the way. It wasn’t just about closing a loan, it was about building a relationship.”
The South Pasadena branch has been Dorothy’s family’s branch since she was young, and she knows many of the employees by name. She says it was nearly a full circle moment, as they worked with her parents on the homebuying process years before.
That personal support is what helped give her the confidence to navigate the process and learn as much as she could, never feeling like she couldn’t ask questions or get answers.
For Dorothy, homeownership is about more than a physical building – it’s stability and connection. She’s looking forward to building a life in her new neighborhood.
