Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I find out what options may be available before applying?

Yes. A conversation about your goals, property, income, credit and available equity or down payment can help identify which lender categories may be worth exploring.

Does every lender use the same rules?

No. Mortgage qualification, documentation, property requirements, rates and fees can vary by lender and product.

Will I automatically qualify?

No. Mortgage approval is subject to lender criteria, verification of the application and the property. The goal is to identify realistic options and explain the trade-offs.
