Mortgage Moves Since 1995
If you don’t plan properly, your bank may decline your application — even if you can afford the payments. I’ll take time to understand your situation and build a mortgage plan that protects you from that outcome.
Banks set strict lending policies, high-ratio insurers add rules, and the government’s stress test piles on. I’ll guide you and highlight your strengths so your application isn’t blocked by rigid criteria.
Choosing the wrong lender first can lead to declines, delays, or missed opportunities for better terms. I’ll help you avoid those setbacks and secure approval with solutions that truly fit your situation.
Your mortgage matters to me as much as it does to you. I’ll manage it with the same care and persistence as if it were my own, ensuring the process runs smoothly and any issues are resolved quickly.
I spent 18 years helping clients at Canada’s top banks — RBC, TD, BMO, and National Bank. Now, as a Mortgage Broker for over 12 years, I work for you — not the bank — to find the mortgage that truly fits your needs.
