Purchase, renewal, refinance

The first call

On our first call, I mostly ask about your plans and your situation. You don’t need your documents ready before you call.

If you’re thinking of buying, we look at things like the target price, your down payment, your income, and when you’d like to move forward. For a renewal or refinancing, we start instead from your current loan and what you’d like to change.

Then I tell you what’s realistic and which documents you’ll need to gather.

Two people on your file

Mathieu St-Onge, mortgage broker

I’ve been a mortgage broker since 2023, and I work with clients all across Quebec.

Before brokering, Valérie and I were in business together for nearly fifteen years. We had our own company, employees, suppliers, and a clientele of both individuals and business owners.

That experience still serves me today, especially with self-employed files. I know that business income doesn’t always come down to the number on a tax return, and that two people earning roughly the same can present very different files.

My interest in finance goes back years. I studied financial services in 2006, then came back to the field later, specializing in mortgage credit.

Today I work on home purchases as well as renewals, refinancings, rental properties, and more unusual files. I look at the whole file before choosing a lender.

I do most of the work myself, directly with my clients. I build the file, compare the options, and stay on it until the loan is funded.

Valérie Perreault, mortgage assistant

Mathieu and I have worked together for a long time. Before mortgage brokering, we co-ran our company for nearly fifteen years.

I mainly looked after client service, administration, and project follow-up. I also spent several years in insurance, where I learned to be rigorous with files and confidential information.

Today, I work the files with Mathieu. I check the documents that come in, chase what’s missing, and make sure the right information goes to the right place at the right time.

So you may get an email or a call from me while your application is being processed. Mathieu and I work on the same files and talk regularly about where they stand.

Why work with a broker

  • My services usually cost you nothing In most traditional mortgage files, the lender pays me once the loan is funded. So you get no invoice for the meetings, building the file, the comparisons, or the follow-up with lenders. Fees can apply in some cases, such as private financing or certain specialized files; I explain them before you decide to go further.
  • One application, several lenders You don’t go from bank to bank repeating yourself. I gather the information once, then find the lenders that finance your type of project and your situation. Rules differ for a self-employed worker, a new job, a rental property, or an unusual property. One lender can turn down a file another will finance without hesitation, so I choose the lender before sending the application, as far as possible.
  • I compare more than the rate The rate matters, but so do penalties on a sale or refinancing, prepayment privileges, whether the mortgage can be transferred, and certain product restrictions, later on. A mortgage that’s a little cheaper today can cost much more to break. I show you the differences that matter in your case.
