Common Questions

Things people usually ask me

How much does it cost to use your services?

In most cases, my services are completely free to you. As a mortgage broker, I'm compensated by the lender when your mortgage closes — there's no cost to you for shopping the market through me.

How is working with you different from going to my bank?

Your bank can only offer their own products. I have access to 50+ lenders — including banks, credit unions, and alternative lenders — which means I can shop for the best rate and structure on your behalf. I also have no incentive to push you toward one product over another.

What areas do you serve?

I'm based in Ontario but work with clients across Canada. Most of our conversations happen by phone or video — it's efficient and works well for busy people.

How long does the mortgage process take?

Pre-approval can often happen within 24-48 hours once I have your documents. A full approval typically takes 3-7 business days depending on the lender and complexity of your situation.

What is the Smith Manoeuvre and is it right for me?

The Smith Manoeuvre is a Canadian strategy that converts your mortgage interest into a tax deduction while building an investment portfolio alongside your home. It's not right for everyone, but for the right person it can be transformative. Book a discovery call and we can talk through whether it fits your situation.
