A broker can save you time by searching for the best rates and conditions from multiple lenders.
Brokers have access to a broad network of lenders, including non-bank financial institutions and private lenders, expanding your financing options.
Brokers can compare different loan products to find the one that best suits your needs and objectives.
Brokers are trained to analyze, improve and correct credit bureau errors. They can provide a detailed plan to rectify credit issues and estimate the time needed to bring it to acceptable levels for traditional lenders, usually above 650.
Our services are covered by the lender in most cases. They pay us a commission or percentage of the mortgage amount, usually 1% -1.2%. However, we may charge our fees of 1%-1.5% on the financed amount in certain circumstances. In those cases, we will advise the client and get your signed agreement prior to any work.
Contact the broker to discuss your financial needs and goals. The broker will explain their services, associated fees, and expectations. If the loan is funded by a conventional lender, the lender pays the broker's commission. The client pays broker fees if financing is provided by a commercial, an alternative or private lender.
Complete the mortgage application and provide necessary documents, such as proof of income, tax returns, investment, and savings account statements, etc.
The broker submits your file to the lender's analyst for risk assessment. Additional documents may be requested.
The lender issues a conditional commitment letter, detailing the terms and conditions of the loan.
Satisfy loan conditions with the broker's assistance.
Sign final documents and receive funds or the keys to your home at the notary. The broker ensures the smooth progress of the entire process.
