Mortgage Solutions

  • Pre-Qualify in Minutes

    Find out how much you can afford for your home purchase

    A mortgage pre-approval is an important step in the home buying process and we can help you out. We can help with your financial strategy, your mortgage amount, down payment amount, purchase price and give you an overall idea of what you can realistically afford.

    we will advise you about the documentation (income confirmation, down payment confirmation, etc.) you'll need to supply upon conditional approval of your mortgage. Any conditions must be met for your mortgage to be fully approved. Pre-approvals are subject to your continued good credit and are usually good for 60, 90 or 120 days depending on the lender.

  • Renewals and Transfers

    Most homeowners stay with their existing mortgage lender because they believe it is too time consuming to get a better mortgage rate.

    If your mortgage renewal is fast approaching, then now is a great time to look at the many excellent options and competitive rates available. Lenders send out renewal forms just prior to renewal dates to those with good payment histories, with about 70% of homeowners sending it back without asking any questions! In today’s hectic world, that can be the easiest and best route, but you should ask yourself some questions before you sign on the dotted line. This is an important moment of opportunity. This is where an independent mortgage professional like me can help offer advice and options to help you get ahead!

    Maybe your mortgage needs have changed. This is the time to decide. For example, you may want to consolidate high interest debt in with your mortgage or you may want to tap some of your home equity for a renovation project? Or maybe you are considering a cottage or vacation property? Are you confident you will get the best rate at renewal?

    Having multiple lenders compete for your business is a great way to ensure you get the best rate for your situation. We deal with multiple lending institutions, including major banks, credit unions, trusts and other national and regional lenders, which means significant negotiating power behind finding the best mortgage to fit your specific situation.

  • Refinancing Options

    Use the money in your home to pay off high interest debts and be mortgage-free quicker.

    Refinance up to 80% of your home's value quickly and easily to pay off high-interest credit card debt that has caused your cash flow to slow to a trickle. Worried about penalties? Don't think it can make much difference? Think again. By using your home equity to consolidate your debt, you can improve monthly cash flow, have one easy payment, and be mortgage-free quicker.

  • Mortgages for the Self Employed

    Low rates and excellent options for self-employed individuals looking to get mortgage financing.

    When it comes to mortgages, it hasn't always paid to be self-employed namely because reducing your taxable income can make it difficult to qualify for the mortgage you deserve.

    we work with lenders that offer excellent mortgage options for self-employed Canadians. These lenders understand that self-employed individuals have tax write-offs creating significant reductions in their declared income. With these mortgage lenders, you will not be required to prove your income and a reasonable estimate of your annual income will be acceptable.

    We are here to help you beat the banks ... Give us a call today.

  • Reverse Mortgage

    What is a CHIP Reverse Mortgage?

    It's a financial solution designed for Senior Canadian homeowners

    Unlike a traditional mortgage where you make payments to a bank or someone else, a reverse mortgage pays you. You can use the money in anyway you see fit and live your retirement comfortably knowing you don't need to leave your home.

    The biggest benefit of the CHIP reverse mortgage is that you are not required to make regular payments for as long as you or your spouse lives in your home.
