Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the best mortgage broker in Toronto? +

Look for an FSRA-licensed brokerage that will show you full Form 1.1 (lenders they access) and Form 3.0 (fees) up front, has access to 40+ lenders including big banks, credit unions, monolines, and B-lenders, and does not charge a fee on standard A-lender residential mortgages. Reviews on Google and testimonials tied to real names help verify credibility.

How much does a mortgage broker in Toronto charge? +

For standard residential purchases, refinances, and renewals, our fee to the borrower is $0 — the lender pays us a commission on funding. Fees only apply on private mortgages (typically 1%–3% of mortgage amount) or complex B-lender files, and are always disclosed in writing before you sign.

Can a Toronto mortgage broker help with pre-construction assignment purchases? +

Yes. Pre-construction assignments in Toronto (Vaughan, Liberty Village, Downtown, Etobicoke) have specific lender restrictions — not every lender funds assignments. We work daily with the handful of lenders who do and can pre-approve you before you sign the assignment.

Do I need to meet in person, or can everything be done online? +

Fully online is standard in 2026. Application, document upload, ID verification, and signing are all digital. We meet clients in person on request across the GTA, but roughly 80% of our Toronto files close entirely remotely.

What is the difference between using a Toronto broker versus going to my bank? +

Your bank offers one product from one lender at their posted rate. A broker compares 40+ lenders and typically lands a rate 0.20%–0.60% below big-bank posted 5-year fixed. On a $700,000 Toronto mortgage, a 0.30% rate difference saves roughly $10,500 in interest over a 5-year term.
