Testimonials from My Clients
FAQ: Answers to Your Questions
Do you have questions about mortgage services? Here are clear and detailed answers to the most common questions my clients ask.
Why choose a mortgage broker instead of a bank?
A mortgage broker works for you, not for a financial institution. Unlike banks, which only offer their own products, a broker gives you access to a wide network of lenders, including banks, credit unions, and private lenders. This impartial approach makes it possible to find a solution tailored to your specific needs, often with more competitive rates. In addition, a broker handles all the administrative steps and negotiations, saving you time and giving you peace of mind.
What is an alternative mortgage loan?
An alternative mortgage loan is a flexible solution designed for individuals with unique needs or those who do not meet traditional bank criteria.
This type of loan may be ideal for:
- Self-employed individuals whose income is not easily verifiable.
- People with a low credit score or a complex financial history.
- Clients who require a non-traditional down payment.
- Alternative lenders place more emphasis on the value of the property and the overall strength of your file, rather than relying only on standard criteria such as declared income.
When should I renew my mortgage?
You can start exploring your mortgage renewal options up to six months before the maturity date of your current contract. Planning ahead allows you to compare rates and terms offered by different lenders. Don’t limit yourself to the initial offer from your financial institution: a mortgage broker can help you negotiate better terms or find a more advantageous solution elsewhere. This could reduce your monthly payments or provide conditions better suited to your current situation.
