About mortgage brokers

Why use a mortgage broker?

When it comes time in your life to purchase a home it can often be a very exciting time, until of course you start dealing with realtors, lawyers, home sellers, banks, and anyone else trying to get your business.

Building a new home

When building a new home, the process is very similar to the pre-approval you’ve already completed but with some additional documentation required to “meet conditions” to secure the mortgage.

What is credit?

Credit is the ability to obtain goods or services before payment, based on the trust that payment will be made in the future. Credit can take many forms including:
