Credit unions focus on members and often provide personalized service. For long-time residents, their rates can be competitive.

Brokers work for you, not the lenders. They search multiple lenders to find terms that fit your needs.

Brokers are invaluable if you're a first-time buyer or have a complex financial situation.

Alternative and Private Lenders

If traditional lenders can't meet your needs, maybe your credit isn't perfect or your income varies—private lenders offer more flexible terms. Rates are higher, but conditions can be tailored. A local mortgage broker can help you navigate these options.

Start by understanding your budget, your credit and your comfort level with payments. Compare rates and lender reputation. Tools like EveryRate.ca make comparisons easier. Don't forget customer reviews; they give insight into service quality.
