Why should I use a Mortgage Broker?

Mortgage Brokers and Agents work for you, the borrower. We have access to a variety of lenders and products that are chosen for your specific needs and goals. We look out for the needs of our clients first. Our specialty is mortgages, therefore we are up to date on the products currently available and all the regulations that must be followed.

What is the minimum down payment required?

A minimum down payment of 5% is required to purchase a home, subject to certain maximum price restrictions. In addition to the down payment, you must also be able to show you can cover the applicable closing costs, approximately 1.5% of the purchase price (i.e. legal fees and disbursements, appraisal fee, land transfer tax and a survey certificate, where applicable, etc.). Regardless of the amount of your down payment, at least 5% must be from your own cash resources or in the form of a gift from an immediate family member.

When should I get a pre-approval?

We suggest you talk to a mortgage broker 6-12 months before you plan to purchase a new home or refinance an existing home. This allows the time required to gather all the paperwork required, assess your credit and make appointments to discuss what you need and want in a mortgage. Most of our lenders will guarantee an interest rate for 120 days before a closing date.

Should I wait for my mortgage to mature?

We recommend you contact a broker about 6 months before your existing mortgage matures. This allows time to consider all the options available; whether it be to plan the purchase of another property, consolidate debt into your new mortgage or just a straight renewal. Lenders will often send out renewal notices offering their posted rates. This usually is not the best rate available. Most lenders will guarantee a rate for 120 days before renewal/closing. This will get you the bast rate available in the 4 months prior to renewal.

What are the qualification requirements to get a mortgage?

There are three main factors that come into play when being approved for a mortgage:

Credit score. Each loan program has a minimum credit score requirement in order to qualify. Higher credit scores can allow you to qualify for lower interest rates, too.
Down payment. Some loan programs require you to make a down payment of a certain amount.
Debt-to-income ratio (DTI). Your debts should only make up a certain percentage of your income, because you’re about to incur a large and important debt by purchasing a home.
