Two homeowners. Two big wins.

The credit cards, gone.

Credit cards and other balances, brought together in one refinance. Their payments dropped by $3,605 a month, and that money now stays in their budget.

They kept their home.

The city was threatening to send their house to auction. We got them financed, paid off the arrears and helped them rebuild their credit. Today they have a new first mortgage, and they’re still home.

Falling behind can be fixed

Payments that fell behind. Rebuilding credit. Income that’s hard to show on paper. Whatever’s going on, we’ve seen it before, and we won’t judge.

We started Lighthouse so Ontario homeowners would have someone in their corner who listens first. We’ll tell you plainly what’s possible, lay out your options and stay with you until your mortgage closes.

Whatever brought you here, we can help. Pick the one that fits, and we’ll take care of finding the right solution.

How it works

Three steps, and you only have to do the first one.

1

Tell us where things stand

Answer a few quick questions, or call. We start with what you want to fix, not a pile of forms.

No judgement
2

We find the right lender

We know the options across banks, credit unions and private lenders, so we match you with the one that fits and walk you through why.

No pressure
3

We take care of the rest

Once you say yes, we handle the lender and the paperwork through to closing, bring your mortgage current and plan your way back to a bank rate.

You decide when to move

Questions people ask us

Plain answers to every question, before you decide.

It’s the process a lender in Ontario can start when mortgage payments fall behind. It takes time, and until a sale happens it can be stopped. Bringing the mortgage current ends it, and the home stays in your name.

No. Files like yours are what private lending is for. With enough equity in your home, your credit history won’t rule you out on its own.

Banks usually stop at 80% of your home’s value, counting every mortgage on it. Private lenders can go further, case by case. Your number comes down to your home’s value, what you still owe and the lender that fits. A quick call will tell you.

With enough equity in your home, a private mortgage can cover the missed payments. It’s a bridge, usually for one to two years: take care of what’s pressing, give things time to settle, then move back to a bank rate.

Private lenders can move faster than banks. Funding follows approval within days, depending on the appraisal and the lawyers’ schedules. If your lender has given you a date, tell us on the first call and we’ll plan around it.

Talking to us doesn’t affect it. We ask before any step that involves a credit check.

One missed payment does not have to become three.

Let’s talk it through. Tell us what’s going on and we’ll show you your options and take care of the rest. It costs nothing to get good advice.
