💼 Self-employment is common across the Fraser Valley — and it creates a real challenge when it comes to mortgage qualification.

THE CORE PROBLEM: Lenders assess self-employed income using your Notice of Assessment, the number after all your business deductions. For many business owners, that number significantly understates what you actually earn.

WHAT'S ACTUALLY AVAILABLE:

✅ Traditional qualification using NOA income, if the numbers support it
✅ Stated income programs, where your declared business income is supported by bank statements
✅ Alternative lender programs with more flexible income assessment methods
✅ Down payment strategies that work alongside your income picture

WHAT LENDERS WANT TO SEE: Typically two years of self-employment history, strong credit, and a meaningful down payment.

A decline from one lender is not a final answer. It's information about that institution's specific guidelines — and we have access to a wide network of lenders who work with self-employed income regularly.

💸 Here's something we cover early in every first client conversation: your down payment is only part of the cash you need at closing.

HERE'S WHAT TO BUDGET FOR:

🔍 HOME INSPECTION: $400 to $600. Well worth it in any market, especially with Langley's mix of older and newer housing stock.

📊 APPRAISAL FEE: $300 to $500. Required by some lenders.

⚖️ LEGAL FEES: $1,000 to $2,000 for a lawyer or notary.

🏛️ PROPERTY TRANSFER TAX: 1% on the first $200,000, 2% on $200,001 to $2,000,000. On a $1,000,000 Langley purchase, that's roughly $18,000.

FIRST-TIME BUYER PTT EXEMPTION: Full exemption on homes $835,000 or less — achievable on many Langley condos and some townhomes given current benchmark pricing.

🏠 PROPERTY INSURANCE: Mandatory before your lender releases funds.

📋 TITLE INSURANCE: $150 to $400.

🚚 MOVING COSTS: Budget at least $500, often more.

Closing costs aren't just a line item — they're part of your overall financial picture. Understanding the full cash requirement before you make an offer is exactly the kind of planning that prevents financial stress at closing.

💼 In situations like a marital breakdown, it can feel like selling the family home is the only path forward. That's not always the case.

We specialize in clients navigating through divorce and separation, providing support, attention, care, and discretion during this unique transition period in their lives.

🏠 OPTION 1: A SPOUSAL BUYOUT. With the right guidance and a legal separation agreement, one spouse may be able to buy out the other, keeping the home and providing stability for everyone involved — especially important when children are part of the picture.

🏠 OPTION 2: SELL AND MOVE FORWARD SEPARATELY. When neither party wants to or can maintain the property alone, we help structure the sale and the next steps for both parties.

🏠 OPTION 3: TEMPORARY JOINT ARRANGEMENTS. While legal and financial matters are finalized, we can help structure interim solutions.

⚠️ AN IMPORTANT DETAIL: Removing someone's name from title does not remove them from the mortgage. Both processes need to happen in coordination with your legal team.

THE TIMING THAT MATTERS MOST: Getting mortgage advice before your separation agreement is finalized can prevent complications and protect both parties financially.

Every conversation here is handled with complete discretion.
