We had a very positive experience with Graham's help, he sent many properties for us via email and modified the search according to what worked and what didn't. He helped us see what would need to be done to the places if we were to purchase. What would cost us.
It was helpful that he was concerned that we didn't settle for a place that we were not 100% happy with, and we were able to find the right place.
He was always pleasant and helpful, and we felt cared about.

One of the best ways to save money on your mortgage is avoiding breakage penalties.  You do this by aligning your mortgage product and term to...

The Bank’s three measures of core inflation, taken together, continue to point to material excess capacity in the economy. While there have been...

Today’s Bank of Canada rate hold announcement marks almost four straight years that the key benchmark rate has remained unchanged, since September 8, 2010. Great news if you have a variable-rate mortgage or home equity line of credit; the prime rate stays at 3%.

 

The announcement noted that “the risks to the outlook for inflation remain roughly balanced, while the risks associated with household imbalances have not diminished.” With these considerations, the Bank is maintaining its monetary policy stimulus, and remains neutral with respect to the timing and direction of the next change.

 

The next rate-setting day is October 22nd.
