My job doesn't end when the mortgage closes.

My mission is simple: leave every client better than I found them. That means a mortgage plan built around your actual life, honest advice, and lenders who read your whole story, not just a credit score.

Whether you're self-employed, a family carrying real debt, or a homeowner 55+, I'm here to help you do more than get approved. I want you to genuinely get ahead.

The Bank of Canada raised its policy rate by 0.25% today, to 2.50%, its first increase since 2023.

• Variable-rate mortgages and HELOCs follow lenders' prime rates, which typically move with the Bank of Canada.
• Fixed rates follow bond yields, so today's move doesn't change them directly.

Shopping for a home? Rate holds on a pre-approval generally last 90 to 120 days depending on the lender, so it's worth knowing when yours expires. The next announcement is December 9.

Buying a new home before the current one sells? Timing both sides can feel like a puzzle. Once the current home has a firm buyer, bridge financing may help cover the gap between buying and selling, depending on the lender. Planning the price, timing and terms of both deals together makes the whole process smoother.

$20,000 on a credit card can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re making payments every month but barely seeing the balance move.

Sometimes, the issue isn’t the debt itself. It’s the interest rate working against you.

If you own your home and have equity, there may be options to restructure that debt and make your monthly cash flow more manageable.

The first step? Look at your actual numbers and see what makes sense.

Buying with less than 20% down? In Canada, a smaller down payment means the mortgage generally needs default insurance, which protects the lender and can make it possible to buy sooner. The premium is usually added to the mortgage rather than paid upfront, and insured mortgages often come with competitive rates.

What does this mean for you?
Under 20% down: You can buy with less saved, but a one-time insurance premium is usually added to your mortgage. Insured mortgages are only available on homes under $1.5 million.
20% or more down: There’s no insurance premium and you borrow less overall, though uninsured mortgage rates are often slightly higher.

Many mortgages include prepayment privileges that let you pay extra without a penalty, such as lump-sum payments up to a yearly limit or increasing your regular payment amount. Even small extra payments can shorten the amortization and save a meaningful amount of interest. Limits vary by lender, and going over them can trigger a penalty, so it pays to know exactly what your mortgage allows.
