Our Story

Learn from my mistakes.

When I was buying my first property, and needed to get my first mortgage, I did what thousands of Canadians do every single day. I went straight to my bank. I thought I did my home work, but I was wrong. I did not know my options. I didn’t know any better, I didn’t know how to shop for a mortgage and what questions to ask. I just went to my bank, and did what they told me.

A year later, I needed to sell my property and it ended up costing me extra in penalties, hidden fees and wiped out my initial downpayment. This was all such a shock. My bank never said anything about the cost of getting out of my agreement nor any mention a slew of other things.

It was not fair at all.

Let me tell you what I have learned

• Your bank has no obligation to educate you on the mortgage process and the products they are selling
• If you don’t ask, they don’t have to tell. This is the way banks have made their money. Shocking right? Thousands of Canadians are paying unnecessary interest and other costs. Costs that they are not even aware of. And this is happening every single day.
• The financing climate is very fluid. There are changes to policies and products occurring literally overnight. And it is VERY important to be educated in order to be able to ask the right questions to obtain the right answers.

When I found out that this was an everyday thing, it made me sick to my stomach. I made a promise to myself that I would never let something like this happen to me or anyone ever again. Making sure that none of our clients ever walk into a situation without being aware is what drives me, every single day.

Here is my promise to you and every single client that we work with: 

• We educate my clients on all aspects of mortgage giving them a clear picture so that they can make informed decisions with both eyes open.
• We strive to take the stress out of the challenging process of obtaining financing so that they can focus on what they are passionate about such as their business, family and enjoying life.
• We do this by converting the often foreign and complicated to understand mortgage speak, into real live examples and analogies, so that our clients  understand their options when it comes to financing. Yes, we are allowed to make choices.

Your situation is unique and does not fit the box that your bank wishes to put you in. We help you understand your options and let your mortgage work for you.

Regardless of whether you are a first time home buyer, or a seasoned investor on the residential or commercial side, your immediate concerns are:

• Am I impacted by the new rules and policy changes?
• Will I get approved for my financing?

Id the answers to these two are a YES, then you should be asking yourself:

• Now that I am approved, what are the lender’s policies that I should be aware of?
• Are there any hidden costs, especially if I need to get out my financing contract?
• Do I understand the fine print?”

The reality is that most Canadians, sign up for a 5 year fixed mortgage (about 75%) , and most them end up breaking their mortgage contract early (about 67%). This triggers penalties that are calculated very differently among the various lenders out there.

We can help you.

We will teach you to understand how each lender does this, along with some other clauses in your mortgage contract that you need to be aware of, Some can end up costing you thousands of dollars like it did me, if you are not aware of them.

These are questions that we can help you answer, and problems that we can help you solve.
