Applying for a mortgage shouldn’t be hard or confusing,
What does a Mortgage Broker charge?
Typically there is no charge. Our fee is paid by the lenders we secure your mortgage through, not you. In special “credit-challenged” circumstances, depending on the length and amount of the loan, we may have to charge a fee. However, we don’t charge our clients in the majority of cases.
Do mortgage brokers work for the bank or a financial lender?
Neither! A mortgage broker has a portfolio of lenders they work with to meet their clients’ mortgage needs. That’s one of the chief reasons brokers help their clients get better deals – unlike banks or other financial institutions, brokers are looking to help you get the best deal on your mortgage, not fill up a target mortgage product quota.
What is equity?

- You are allowed to pay a percentage (usually 15-20%) of your principal per year.
- You may be able to double your mortgage payment for a month or a number of months. Remember that you are not allowed to exceed the percentage that you’re permitted to pay down annually.

Why is a mortgage insurance premium necessary?
Regardless of mortgage rates, if a down payment is less than 20% of the home or property value, mortgage insurance is mandatory in Kelowna (and across Canada). Mortgages have built-in insurance premiums, so, therefore, the clients do not pay “out of pocket” for this expense. For mortgage lenders, a down payment of this size is more of a risk, so the mortgage insurance premium acts like a guarantee in the event of a default on the loan.
