Mortgage pre approval

A mortgage pre approval answers the question, “I wonder how much I would qualify for right now?” A mortgage pre approval is the first step in the home buying process, thereby taking the stress out of shopping for your dream home because you’ll have the confidence of knowing what you’re able purchase.

Mortgage Application Process

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. Even for second-time home buyers this can be a daunting prospect, let alone for first-time home buyers.

Using your RRSP to buy a home

Chances are you’ve heard someone talk about withdrawing money from their RRSP to buy a home. This is a pretty common practice and unless you have an employer-controlled RRSP, the money is usually yours to withdraw.
