 FAQs

  • Simply put, a mortgage broker’s job is to find you the right loan for your situation and make sure that you continue to have the right loan as your goals and situation change over time.

    #BROKERSWORKFORYOU

  • No. We're paid by the lender, so you can get expert help without extra cost. 

    Here's how it works:

    • Upfront: The lender pays us a one-time fee, typically 0.65% to 0.7% of your loan. This covers our work to get your loan approved.

    • Ongoing: The lender also pays us a small annual fee, usually 0.15% of your loan balance. We’ll be in regular contact with you to check in on your situation and make sure your loan continues to work for you, your changing situation and goals.

  • Each interest rate depends on loan type, repayment plan and several other factors. This means a good interest rate for you may not be a good interest rate for someone else.
