Mortgage Purchase

Whether you are purchasing for the first time or you’ve lost count now I can help organize the process and make it go very smoothly. Many clients first contact me to get a pre approval, where I will calculate based on standard lending guidelines how much mortgage they can afford. It may or may not be beneficial to submit for a formal pre approval with a lender, but I will definitely keep a watch on interest rates to make sure I hold one if they start to creep up. It’s always best if you contact me prior to your realtor, so we can get your budget organized and get an idea of payment which will help narrow down your search. Also I will organize your income and down payment documents so we can make a complete, efficient application that the lenders will approve in short order. My services in a purchase situation go farther than just great rates. Because I also know which lenders will approve quickly and which ones will not I will save you valuable time in the process.

Mortgage Refinancing

As time passes and circumstances change your mortgage may no longer suite you financial needs. You may see the benefit in refinancing for various reasons such as taking equity to payout debt pay for children’s’ education or to open a secured line of credit for investment purposes to name just a few.

Mortgage Renewals

Ahead of Your Mortgage Renewal Date is the best time to shop you mortgage to prospective lenders. Because at the end your mortgage term there is no penalty I can transfer your mortgage the best lender and it won’t cost you anything. Your bank may have had a great rate initially, but on renewal there could be more competitive rates and specials out there. I’ll go to work well ahead of your renewal, so if rates rise I’ll have a low rate held for you, and if rates fall, I’ll be able to follow the rate down. It’s a unique point in your mortgage where you are in a win win situation; you just need to contact me ahead of time and let me know your renewal date.

Debt Consolidation

Many Canadians are taking advantage of refinancing some of the equity in their mortgage to reduce their credit card debt. Why pay high interest rates on your bank's credit card debt when you can add that debt to your mortgage and pay a much lower interest rate? One important part of a strategy is knowing "good debt" from "bad debt". A well-planned mortgage can help you turn those bad debts into good debts and get them out of the way.

1. Consolidate high interest rate credit cards to one lower rate.
2. Save money and increase cash flow.
3. Reduce stress knowing that your financial situation is now manageable.
