A mortgage agent compares multiple lenders and mortgage products to help clients find the option that best fits their financial situation.
Once the application is submitted by your agent, Lenders review income, credit score, employment, down payment, and existing debts to determine if a borrower qualifies for a mortgage.
The amount depends on your income, credit score, debts, and down payment. Lenders also use affordability ratios to determine how much you can borrow.

In Canada, homeowners can typically refinance up to 80% of their home’s value, depending on lender guidelines and qualifications.
Stronger credit usually helps secure better rates, but there are also alternative lending options available.
Most lenders require a property appraisal to confirm the current market value of the home.

Most commercial lenders finance between 65% and 75% of the property value, depending on the property type and financial strength of the borrower.
Lenders typically review the property income, borrower experience, credit profile, and the loan-to-value ratio to determine eligibility.
Commercial mortgages can finance properties such as office buildings, retail plazas, apartment buildings, industrial properties, and mixed-use developments.

Lenders usually require building plans, a construction budget, builder information, and an appraisal based on the completed value of the property.
Lenders typically release funds in draws at key stages of construction, such as foundation, framing, and completion.
A construction mortgage provides financing in stages as the home is being built. Funds are released in scheduled draws during key phases of construction.
