Residential financing

Your home, financed with a plan.

Buying, renewing, or refinancing, you make one application and we take it to the lenders that fit you. We make the confusing parts clear and stay on your side from first question to funding.

Wherever you are in the journey

One team for every step of home financing.

A mortgage is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make, and the options change with rules, rates, and your own life. Our job is to make it clear and find the structure that fits, not just today's payment. We are mortgage brokers, here to help you decide with the full picture.

  • First-time buyers and move-up buyers
  • Mortgage renewals, so you do not just sign the lender's offer
  • Refinances to renovate, consolidate, or invest
  • Self-employed and commission-income buyers
  • New-to-Canada and newer-credit buyers
  • Second homes, rentals, and small investment property (1 to 4 units)
What to know going in

The numbers that shape your mortgage.

A few rules drive most residential deals in Canada. Here is the general landscape. These are illustrative starting points, not offers, and your situation can change them.

Minimum down payment: from 5% on the first portion of the price Under 20% down: usually requires mortgage default insurance The stress test: qualify at the higher of your rate plus 2% or 5.25% Amortization: commonly 25 to 30 years What lenders weigh: income, debts, credit, and the property
Lenders test you at a qualifying rate above your actual rate, so what you can borrow is not always what a basic calculator shows. Get a realistic estimate, then let us confirm your real options.

Why work with a broker

One application. Many lenders. Someone on your side.

A bank can offer you its own products. As brokers, we take one application and bring it to a broad range of lenders, then structure it to fit you and manage it to close. As part of TMG The Mortgage Group, we have the access of a national network with the care of a local, team-based brokerage.

How we help

Where we make the difference.

Buying your first home

We help you understand what you qualify for, what it will cost beyond the price, and how to make a confident offer.

Renewing your mortgage

Do not just sign the renewal letter. We review whether staying or switching serves you better, before the deadline.

Refinancing with a purpose

Renovate, consolidate higher-interest debt, or free up funds to invest. We structure it around the goal, not just the rate.

Start with an estimate, then bring us the details and we will confirm your real options.

Common questions

Home financing questions.

How much can I afford?

It depends on your income, your debts, your down payment, and the qualifying rate lenders must use, which is higher than your actual rate. Our affordability calculator gives a starting estimate, and we will confirm your real range together. Any figure is illustrative, not a pre-approval.

What is the mortgage stress test?

Lenders qualify most borrowers at the higher of your contract rate plus 2% or a set minimum qualifying rate. It is meant to confirm you could handle a higher rate later. It can affect how much you qualify for, which is why a realistic estimate matters before you shop.

Fixed or variable rate?

There is no single right answer. It depends on your plans, your comfort with payment changes, and the current market. We walk through the trade-offs so you can choose with confidence. We do not steer you to a product; we help you decide.

Should I just sign my renewal letter?

Not without a look. Your current lender's first offer is not always your best move. We review whether staying or switching serves you better, ideally a few months before your maturity date, so you have time and leverage.

I am self-employed. Can you help?

Yes. Self-employed and commission income often needs the right lender and the right documentation rather than a one-size-fits-all box. Matching that is exactly what a broker does.

What does working with a broker cost me?

On most standard residential deals, the lender pays our compensation, not you. If a situation is different, we tell you clearly and up front before you commit to anything. No surprises.
