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.

★★★★★

“I wasn’t sure if they could help me but took a chance. Am I ever glad I did. They went above and beyond to help me with getting a mortgage. They were there throughout the whole process and even now with everything being done if I have a question or concern all I have to do is call or drop them an email and they are quick to respond. Thanks to Marko for being so helpful and patient.”

Questions people ask us

Answers to every question, before you decide.

Matthew, Will or Marko will call you right away. We’ll ask what’s going on and what you’re trying to do, then tell you honestly what’s possible.

No. Tell us what’s going on and we’ll match you with the right option. If you’ve heard a product name, bring it along and we’ll tell you whether it fits.

Talking to us doesn’t affect it. We’ll ask you first if a later step involves a credit check.

No. Talking to us doesn’t commit you to anything. Plenty of people call to find out where they stand, then take their time.

It depends on your situation and your lender, so we’ll tell you what to expect on the first call. When time matters, we move quickly.

A “no” from one bank isn’t the end of the conversation. We work with lenders who care more about the equity in your home than your income or credit score.

For self-employed clients, bank statements or T1 generals can be enough. We’ll tell you exactly what’s needed up front.

Ontario homeowners with equity in their home, whatever their work situation. If you own your home, you have options. If you don’t own a home yet, we’re not the right fit.

Is there any reason not to see what’s possible?

It costs nothing to get good advice.
