Bankers To Brokers

Bankers To Brokers Are banks declining you? As an ex-Banker, I can get you approved through my vast network of lenders. Commercial. Construction. Development. Private. Self-employed.

Mortgage broker & team leader at DLC Affinity Mortgage Solutions, serving the GTA as Bankers to Brokers. Residential. The files big banks decline. Before brokering, I spent years inside the banks, TD and Meridian. That inside view is how I know which lenders fund what the banks won't.

If your bank turned you down, read this before you assume the answer is no everywhere.

A client walked in with a 720 credit score, no missed payments, and a million dollars of equity in the home. The bank still said no.

That decline was not about the borrower. Banks run one set of products, one set of rules and one risk appetite. If your file has anything the system was not built for, self-employed income, rental income that is not fully accounted for, a recent credit blip, retained earnings in a corporation, or you are over the age of 55, the answer is no. Not because the deal is bad. Because their system cannot process it.

Here is what most borrowers never hear. Your bank is one of more than 50 lenders a broker can actually place a file with, and that is not counting the privates and the MIC space. Every one of them has different rules and a different appetite. The deal your bank just declined is somebody else's bread and butter.

Most people never find that out, because they only ever go to one bank.

I got tired of telling clients no when I knew the solution existed somewhere else. That is the reason I stopped working for one lender and became a broker.

Now the job is to look at a file and figure out which lender, structured the right way, will get to yes. Most of the time that answer already exists. The borrower just never gets it, because they only ever go to one bank.

If your bank said no, do not stop there. Comment or DM "APPROVED", or book a free 15 minute review and I will tell you within 24 hours which door is actually open.

Here is what most borrowers never hear.

Your bank is one of more than 50 lenders a broker can actually place a file with. And that is not counting the privates and the MIC space, which adds another dozen on top.

Every one of those lenders has its own rules, its own risk appetite and its own niche. Which means the deal your bank just declined is somebody else's bread and butter.

Most people never find that out, because they only ever go to one bank.

If you have been declined and nobody explained why, it is probably one of these five.

Self-employed income. Rental income that is not fully accounted for. A recent credit blip. Retained earnings sitting in a corporation. Being over the age of 55.

Banks run one set of products, one set of rules and one risk appetite. Every one of those five sits outside the box. The answer comes back no, and it is not because the deal is bad. It is because their system cannot process it.

A 720 credit score. No missed payments. A million dollars of equity in the home. The bank still said no.

If that has happened to you, here is the part nobody explains. Banks run one set of products, one set of rules and one risk appetite. When your file does not fit that box, the answer is no, no matter how strong the numbers look on paper.

A decline is not a verdict on you as a borrower. It is a verdict on one lender's box.

You signed a pre-con contract in 2021 for $1.4 million. Closing is in 60 days, the bank just appraised it at $1.15 million, and you're $250,000 short.

This is happening every week across the GTA right now, and most brokers and banks have no idea how to fix it.

In this video I break down how the pre-con shortfall works, why the bank only lends against today's value instead of your contract price, and what you're actually facing if you can't cover the gap.

Then the part nobody explains: the deal isn't dead. If you own other real estate with equity, a blanket mortgage across multiple properties can cover the shortfall and close it. If you don't, it comes down to what the builder will negotiate.

Pre-con closing in the next 90 days and staring at a shortfall? Comment PRECON and I'll tell you within 24 hours whether your deal is structurable.

You signed a pre-con contract in 2021 for $1.4 million.

Closing is in 60 days. The bank just appraised it at $1.15 million. You're $250,000 short.

The market ran up after you signed, then came back down. The bank lends against today's value, not your contract price. But you still owe the builder every dollar you signed for, and the closing date is locked.

Miss the gap and you lose your deposit, get sued for the shortfall, and the builder relists the unit.

Most brokers and every bank look at this file and say the deal is dead. It isn't. If you own other real estate, your principal residence, a rental, anything with equity, a blanket mortgage across multiple properties can cover the shortfall and close the deal.

Every file is different. The broker's job is to know which doors are open before your bank tells you no.

Pre-con closing in the next 90 days and staring at a shortfall? DM me PRECON and I'll tell you within 24 hours whether the deal is structurable.

Your bank says the pre-con deal is dead. It isn't.

Here's what most brokers and every bank get wrong. They look at the file, see the shortfall, and say no. But the deal isn't dead, the structure just depends on what you have.

If you own other real estate, your principal residence, a rental, anything with equity, we put a blanket mortgage across multiple properties to cover the shortfall and close on the pre-con. That's the cleanest play.

You signed pre-con at $1.4 million. The bank appraised it at $1.15 million. Here's the math that traps you.

The bank funds you on the $1.15, but you still owe the builder the full $1.4, and the closing date is locked. If you can't cover the gap, you lose your deposit, you get sued for the shortfall, and the builder relists the unit.

Real money. Real deadline. No do-overs.

Here's what people don't understand about pre-con.

When you signed your contract three or four years ago, the market was hot. Prices ran up another 20%, then came back down. Now the unit is worth less than what you committed to pay.

And the bank only lends against today's appraised value, not your contract price. That's the gap.
