As a professional Mortgage Broker it is my function to bring together the best lending options available. Borrowers who need to buy or refinance a home, take out equity, consolidate debt or plan for investments, renovations, or education needs - we help you with the process and deliver the options so you can decide.

Currently a member of CAAMP and IMBA. I am licensed with Financial Service Commision of Ontario Licence # 10250. I am bound by the Duties and Ethics of our associations and the laws of the Province of Ontario.

It is my goal to have clients receive the best service available, and be guided through the information process. Not only will they want to come back again, but they will want to tell their friends and family about the positive relationship.
Specialties My expertise in client services, customer service delivery, networking and building strong relationships with referral clients, specialists from lenders and underwriters, realtors, financial planners and lawyers helps me share and give advice because I deal with people who are in the know! This clearly is an advantage in the workplace and in business, especially when you are serving clients all the time. I value the confidential nature of this business and rate privacy at the top of the list! Now with new ways to communicate to people we can reach out through Social Media avenues and utilize Linked In, Facebook, Twitter to follow innovation and be as creative in our learning stream as possible. Keep striving to improve and you grow in the process!
There are generally two ways to get a mortgage in Canada: From a bank or from a licensed mortgage professional.
While a bank only offers the products from their particular institution, licensed mortgage professionals send millions of dollars in mortgage business each year to Canada's largest banks, credit unions, trust companies, and financial institutions; offering their clients more choice, and access to hundreds of mortgage products! As a result, clients benefit from the trust, confidence, and security of knowing they are getting the best mortgage for their needs.
Whether you're purchasing a home for the first time, taking out equity from your home for investment or pleasure, or your current mortgage is simply up for renewal, it's important that you are making an educated buying decision with professional unbiased advice.
