A mortgage broker is licensed to operate their own brokerage, while a mortgage agent works under a licensed broker. Both can access multiple lenders and products on your behalf, unlike bank representatives who can only offer their own institution's products. Heidi is a licensed mortgage agent who provides access to a wide range of lenders.
In most cases, using a mortgage agent costs you nothing — the lender pays a referral fee. For certain specialized situations such as private lending, a broker fee may apply, which Heidi will disclose clearly and upfront before proceeding.
Your mortgage rate depends on your credit score, income, down payment, the property type and current market conditions. During a free consultation, Heidi reviews your financial profile and provides an honest assessment of the rates and products you are likely to qualify for.
A mortgage pre-approval confirms how much a lender is willing to lend you, locks in a rate for a set period and signals to sellers that you are a serious, qualified buyer. In a competitive GTA market, a pre-approval is essential before you start making offers.
Several programs are available including the First Home Savings Account (FHSA), the Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) through your RRSP and the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive. Heidi walks you through which programs you qualify for and how to maximize their benefit for your purchase.
The right choice depends on your financial situation, risk tolerance and long-term plans. Fixed rates offer certainty while variable rates can offer savings in certain rate environments. Heidi provides a clear, objective comparison based on your specific circumstances — not a one-size-fits-all answer.
Ideally four to six months before your renewal date. This gives you time to shop the market, compare offers and potentially switch lenders without penalty. Heidi proactively reaches out to her clients ahead of their renewals to ensure they never miss an opportunity for a better rate.
Absolutely. Investment property mortgages have different qualification requirements and lender criteria than owner-occupied properties. Heidi's combined real estate and mortgage expertise means she can help you structure your investment purchase to maximize returns and minimize financing costs.
