Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pre-qualification?
A pre-qualification is when you provide generalized information to a lender or online calculator, without the information being confirmed, and receive an estimated max purchase price.
What is a pre-approval?
A pre-approval is when a qualified mortgage professional reviews the information provided, such as your mortgage application, income & down payment documents, along with verifying your credit bureau to provide you with a more accurate max purchase price.
What is an approval?
After you have an accepted offer to purchase your dream home, your Mortgage Broker will submit your information to a lender. Once the lender reviews & confirms all the information provided, they will provide you with a full approval.
How much can I qualify for?
If you're buying an owner-occupied property, you may be eligible to put as little as 5% down. It's important to note that while the minimum down payment is 5%, you still need to qualify for the total mortgage amount, which is based on your income and debts. Keep in mind that the rules change for a purchase price above $500,000. In such cases, you will require 5% on the first $500K and 10% on the remainder (up to $1M). For homes over $1M, a minimum of 20% down is required. If you're purchasing a rental property, a minimum of 20% down is also necessary.
Should I got with a variable or fixed rate mortgage?
Choosing between fixed and variable rates? A fixed mortgage offers stable payments over a set term, ideal for budgeting. Yet, consider penalties and your long-term goals. Variable rates fluctuate with Prime, great in falling rates, riskier in rising markets. Guarantee consistency with a fixed rate for staying put, explore variable for flexibility. Connect with our experts for guidance!
What is a co-signer?
A co-signer is usually added to your application when you don't qualify for a home on your own. Their income and debts are included to assess if it enhances your overall approval. When someone co-signs, they become part of the mortgage title and documents. This new mortgage debt reflects on their credit bureau, potentially affecting their future credit score and loan affordability.

Holly L.
My bank brushed me off and told me to rent. Another mortgage broker pre approved me for a low amount with very little customer service. I lucked out and was put in contact with a Melodie. She spent a week communicating with me every day by email, text and calls. Making sure we'd explored every possibility for my finances. Now I'm pre approved and have made an offer on my dream home. I so excited to be able to have the opportunity to raise my children in a home we can all be proud of. This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't had Melodie fighting for me!

My partner and I met Melodie to discuss our first possible mortgage. Melodie was very easy to talk to, answered all questions with ease, and really understood our needs. She is very knowledge and we would recommend her services to everyone!
