As of December 15, 2024, the Canadian government updated mortgage rules to allow insured mortgages on homes priced up to $1.5 million. For these properties, the minimum down payment is 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the portion between $500,000 and $1.5 million. Homes over $1.5 million still require a minimum 20% down payment and are not eligible for mortgage insurance.
Yes we are! You can verify a mortgage broker or brokerages license by searching their name or brokerage on the FSRA (Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario) website at www.fsrao.ca. All licensed brokers must be listed and in good standing.
Private mortgages are funded by individual investors or small groups and offer flexible terms—great for unique or urgent needs.
In SOME cases, our services are free to you as we're paid directly by the lender once your mortgage is finalized. However, certain situations—such as private lending, commercial mortgages, or complex applications—will involve a brokerage fee. If any fees apply, we'll always be upfront and transparent before moving forward, so there are no surprises.
