Answers before you commit.
What does an Ontario Mortgage Agent Level 1 help with?
A Mortgage Agent Level 1 works through a licensed brokerage and may assist with mainstream mortgage options for purchases, renewals, switches, and refinances. The right approach depends on your individual circumstances.
Do I need to renew with my current lender?
Not automatically. Comparing the rate, terms, prepayment flexibility, and your future plans can help determine whether staying or switching makes more sense.
What costs should Ontario buyers plan for?
Along with a down payment, plan for land transfer tax, legal fees, title insurance, appraisal-related costs where applicable, moving costs, and a healthy post-closing reserve.
