MORTGAGE LENDERS & BANK PROFESSIONALS
Finding a good mortgage lender is about more than just finding the best rate (although that is pretty important!) You need someone that can help you to understand the process, and actively work FOR and WITH you every step of the way. Depending on your life and/or financial situations, you may need a mortgage broker that has connections to a niche market. You’ll also need to find someone that puts your best interests at heart, and can find a way to make sure you can balance mortgage payments and life comfortably. Think of your relationship with your mortgage broker as a long-term relationship. When searching for the right person it is best to keep your options open, and see more than just your bank. Here’s our suggestions for who to see:
Kevin Oake, Mortgage Broker, Dominion Lending Centres
Kevin is a hard worker that will go to any length to get the job done! The best part is Kevin isn’t restricted to one bank when he’s looking to find the best fit for you. He’s able to contact various lenders to try to get you the best rate based on your qualifications. Even better: he goes where you go, your availability is his availability. Plus it doesn’t cost you anything since he’s paid a commission by the lenders!

Trust Gloria to help you get your mortgage, line of credit, or any other service just like your bank but on your own schedule, your own hours, and even at your own home!

Your own bank. They already know you, you may or may not have a solid relationship with at least one branch, they definitely have your information, so it should be a pretty easy process! They will want to keep your business. With your bank, you may also find it easier to qualify for a line of credit if you need it for the deposit.

REAL ESTATE LAWYERS & NOTARIES
Every real estate transaction, whether you’re a buyer or a seller, requires either a notary or a lawyer to represent the paperwork and make out the statement of adjustments for you. The importance of having someone that is experienced and knows what they’re doing cannot be overlooked. There is a lot that can go wrong in a real estate transaction, and your real estate notary or lawyer is NOT a place to try and cut costs. A great lawyer or notary may actually SAVE YOU MONEY as they possess the knowledge to catch other’s miscalculations and mistakes.
