Hi, I’m Steve
Should I use a mortgage agent or go straight to my bank?
It depends on what you value. Your bank can only offer its own mortgages, which can suit you if you want everything in one place and its offer is competitive. A mortgage agent compares options from many lenders, which tends to help most if you’re self-employed, new to Canada, buying a rental, consolidating debt or simply want to know you got a good deal. For most standard residential mortgages the lender pays the agent, so there’s usually no fee to you, and any fee must be disclosed in writing before you commit.
Every plan’s a little different
Find your situation for a plain-English rundown of what lenders look for, and what to ask before you sign anything.
Three steps. Zero mystery.
You’re part of the process, not watching from the sidelines. Here’s exactly how it goes.
Start your application
This is where the guesswork ends. Tell me about your income, debts, down payment and goals in the secure online application, and we’re working from real numbers from day one.
I go shopping for you
I take your file to the lenders, compare rates, terms, penalties and total costs, then walk you through the trade-offs in plain language.
You decide. I chase the paperwork.
You pick the option that fits. I handle the lender, the conditions and the follow-ups, and keep you posted until it’s done.
Run the numbers first
Built on Ontario’s real rules: the stress test, CMHC insurance and land transfer tax. Play with them as much as you like. Nobody’s judging your math.
Affordability calculator
How much home you may qualify for, with the stress test, CMHC insurance and closing costs.
Refinance savings calculator

Buy vs rent calculator

Know what you’re weighing.
A mortgage is more than a rate. Penalties, prepayment rules, timing and your actual life all matter. I put everything on the table, so the choice is yours and it’s an informed one.
- Total costs explained up front, not just the payment
- Penalties, prepayment rules and flexibility compared side by side
- Straight answers about what you qualify for, and what you’re comfortable with
- Updates at every step, from first call to closing
What clients say
From day one, Steve made us feel confident that we could do it. … He created a Google spreadsheet outlining every step of the mortgage process before it happened. Instead of wondering what was next or feeling overwhelmed, we always knew where we were, what to expect, and what we needed to do.
This guy delivered! Got me what I needed, when I needed it. Didn't crumble under pressure, and kept me in the loop every step of the way!
Moments after my clients had firmed up their deal they were advised that their mortgage person had suddenly left the business. Stephen took over and worked his magic with no hiccups.
Let’s make the next step clearer.
