Whether you know where to start or you have no clue, that is not the issue here, because with the right guidance, all you need to know is why you want or need a mortgage. We’ll take care of the how and perhaps even the when.
Timing is important, have your mortgage assessment practiced 6 months ahead to avoid rate increases, missed opportunities, or even false expecttations

- Your home rental or living history
- Current mortgage statement (for renewals and refinancing)
- Have your questions ready
