The questions I get asked now.

When I started in the mortgage business, many of my clients were buying their first homes. More than two decades later, the questions are different.

  • Should I break my mortgage?
  • Should I pay down debt or invest?
  • Could my home equity be put to better use?
  • Should I buy another property?
  • How do I improve my monthly cash flow?
  • How should my mortgage fit into retirement?

This is for you if you own your home, have equity, and are planning the next 10–20 years.

Lower My Rate

Mortgage coming up for renewal?

If there's more to the decision than simply choosing another rate, let's take a closer look.

Review My Situation

A mortgage isn’t just a rate.

Two mortgages with the same rate can have very different costs. Penalties. Prepayment privileges. Portability. Restrictions. Refinancing options. Lender policies. The differences aren’t always obvious when you’re choosing a mortgage — but they can become very important later.

That’s why I don’t start by asking, “What’s the lowest rate?” I start by asking, “What’s the right mortgage strategy for you?”

Strategy beats rate.

I don’t sell interest rates. I build mortgage strategies.

More lenders. More options. One person helping you make sense of them.

Instead of being limited to the products available from one financial institution, I can compare mortgage options from a wide range of Canada’s leading banks, credit unions and mortgage lenders.

But access to more options isn’t the real advantage. Knowing how to compare them is.

Access to 40+ of Canada’s leading banks, credit unions and mortgage lenders — including:

  • TD Bank logo
  • Scotiabank logo
  • First National logo
  • MCAP logo
  • RMG Mortgages logo
  • Equitable Bank logo
  • Home Trust logo
  • Manulife Bank logo
  • CMLS Financial logo
  • HomeEquity Bank logo
  • Merix Financial logo
  • Community Trust logo

I’ve been doing this since 2004. But my job has changed.

I’ve grown alongside many of the people I work with. The questions above are the ones that come up now — and they’re rarely settled by a rate alone.

My own experience has changed how I look at mortgages too. I’m an entrepreneur, business owner and real estate investor who has started multiple companies and built a real estate portfolio of more than $6 million in assets right here in our local market. That gives me a different perspective on financing, leverage and cash flow.

Most people have someone managing their investments. Very few have anyone looking strategically at the debt side of the equation. I don’t see a mortgage as an isolated transaction. I see it as one part of your overall financial strategy.
