Looking for Mortgage Broker in Toronto & North York?

Mortgages are often the biggest debt that individuals incur in their lifetime and they usually take between 15 and 30 years of monthly payments. So, what is a mortgage? Mortgages are financial transactions wherein debtors charge their personal or real properties to creditors as security for their debt. The term is usually used for property purchases. The properties are then returned to the debtors on condition that they pay the debt within the stipulated period. In Canada, you have to pay a down payment upfront before you can get a mortgage. The down payment is subtracted from the total mortgage amount. For loans equal to or less than $500,000, the down payment is 5% of that amount. For amounts above $500,000,
the excess amount is multiplied by 10% and the figure added to $25,000. Before you can qualify for a mortgage, the lender requires you to go through a pre-approval process. This is where a mortgage broker like Approved Mortgage Brokers comes in because issues like the applicable interest rates, the loan duration, and how much you qualify for are discussed at this stage. You can get a fixed-rate or a variable-rate mortgage. Variable-rate mortgages are more popular in Canada since they allow for the fluctuation, either upwards or downwards, of the interest rate based on how the economy is doing. At Approved Mortgage Brokers, we will also help you choose between a fixed and a variable payment option. Fixed payment options are whereby you make a fixed monthly payment irrespective of interest rate changes while variable payment options are
dependent on the Canadian Central Bank interest rates. There are also “convertible” variable-rate mortgages where the creditor can shift to a fixed rate. We always advise our clients to go for fixed rates since this shields them from financial pressure. If you already have a mortgage and the mortgage term is near, a mortgage broker will help you negotiate for a lower interest rate. This could be after 1, 3, or 5 years within the amortization period.

  • Second Mortgage

    If you have a mortgage, the law allows you to take a second one. You can get up to 80% of your property’s appraised value, less the balance on your existing mortgage. As an example, if your home is worth $500,000 and you still owe $300,000 on your first mortgage, you can get $100,000 ((0.8*500,000)-300,000) which sounds like a good deal. So are you considering getting a second mortgage in Toronto?The idea of taking out two loans sounds frightening, for sure. A second mortgage, however, when used in the right circumstances saves you money. For instance, it allows you to meet your financial needs. Homeowners take it out to pay for items like:

    • Home renovations

    • Medical emergencies

    • Business expansion

    • College education for their child


    Besides helping cover financial needs, getting a second mortgage boosts your credit score. Usually, second mortgages have lower interest rates compared to those of credit cards or unsecured credit cards. If you want to take out a second mortgage, brokers at Approved Mortgage Brokers are happy to help. At Approved Mortgage Brokers, we offer reasonable interest rates. Typically, interest rates on second mortgages are higher than for the first mortgage. Our team negotiates with lenders to ensure you get a low interest.
    Apart from having reasonable interest rates, we also help borrowers avoid hefty fees. Some common administrative fees from Toronto lenders include:

    • Legal fees

    • Appraisal fees

    • Title insurance fees

    • Title search fees


    It’s common to find lenders waiving some of these fees to attract customers. Here our team works smartly to ensure you bag the best deals. To get started, call (416) 419-3939.

  • Residential Mortgages
    One or more people are eligible for a residential mortgage only if they intend to reside in the house or other residential property. There are other types of mortgages for those who want to lease the properties they buy.
    To get a residential mortgage, make sure you have enough money saved up for a down payment. Have at least 5% of the property’s value reserved as the minimum deposit amount. It’s good to note that if the residential mortgage down payment is below 20% of the property’s value, you’ll insure with mortgage default insurance (CMHC insurance).
    You also need to prepare to do the stress test. The stress test is an assessment which the lender conducts to check if you can manage to pay the principal as well as the interest payments in case interest rates hike up.
    Our brokers have access to lenders. The strong relationship we’ve built with our lenders increases your chances of landing the best residential mortgages in Toronto. To top it all, we understand the industry in and out. We know how you can beat the stress test and the different mortgage options suitable for you depending on your financial needs.

  • Commercial Mortgages
    Assessing a business’ credit history whether for a partnership, incorporation, or a limited company isn’t an easy task.

At some point, if the companies experience difficulty making monthly repayments, they can simply choose to file for bankruptcy. Indeed, that’s what most companies or businesses do.

    • Pure multi-family residential (1 to 4 units)

    • Pure multi-family residential (with more than 5 units) with a loan-to-value ratio at 85%


    A commercial mortgage takes 60 days to a year before it goes through. Through our relationships with lenders, we know you’ll get the mortgage in good time.

  • New to Canada Mortgage
    Are you new to Canada and in desperate need of a newcomer’s mortgage? Then, here are a few things you need to know.

  • Unsecured Line of Credit

    An unsecured line of credit permits you to borrow up to a pre-determined limit without needing you to offer collateral. Once the lender forwards the money to you, you can use up the money however you want as long as it doesn’t pass the approved limit. On most occasions, home projects are the most common use of unsecured lines of credit.
    People also use them to help pay college fees for a child, for medical emergencies or to fund business opportunities. To qualify for an unsecured line of credit most lenders, both private and mainstream, expect:

    • A borrower to have a high credit score

    • You to demonstrate business health


    In as much as it’s okay to spend, you still need to pay off your unsecured debt. Failure to do so will lead to the lender suing you or worse, hiring a debtor to recover their money. To avoid all these troubles, hire a professional broker from Approved Mortgage Brokers. Our team of experts helps you determine the best interest rates and terms that favorably suit your needs. If getting a great deal is a huge trouble for you, then hiring us saves you time and money. Call us on (416) 419 3939 to get started today.

  • Self Employed Mortgage
    The self-employed include entrepreneurs, small-business owners, doctors, and many others. The “gig” economy is on the rise, meaning this number is expected to rise. Even so, getting a self-employed mortgage in Toronto isn’t easy. To access a mortgage, your business must have operated for no less than 2 years. You must also provide documentation that shows income verification. This can be a T1 and/or T2 general accompanied by a Notice of Assessment (NOA) or a business statement alongside a Notice of Assessment.
    As you can imagine, if you fail to meet the qualifications criteria or have a poor credit rating, getting a self-employed mortgage will be hectic. This, however, doesn’t mean there’s no way to get one. At approved Mortgage Brokers, we help all clients get mortgages despite their financial situation.
    First, our team of experts guides you through the nerve-wracking process of searching and engaging the lenders. Usually, private mortgage lenders are more flexible when it comes to the qualification criteria. This is despite the fact that they charge a higher interest rate. Our team hooks you up with a genuine lender so that you enjoy the lowest interest rates.
    Our brokers also prepare you on what to expect from lenders during the assessment stage to increase your chances of success. To begin the hunt for a good mortgage, contact us on (416) 419 3939 today.

  • Private Mortgage Lending

    • Strict lending rules set up by the federal government to govern government-backed insured mortgages.

    • Greater restrictions for houses worth over $500,000

  • Avatar gilles veilleux ★★★★★
    Masoud and his team are truly focused and result driven. I did my refinancing with them, it went smooth from start to finish.
  • Avatar Roosevelt Freeman ★★★★★
    I used Nick to renew my mortgage. He found me a better deal than my bank could offer and I intend to use him again the next time I need to renew. Nick did all the work, he made it easy and simple for me. He really knows his stuff!
  • Avatar Linda Howard ★★★★★
    After some unfortunate interactions with my previous mortgage broker trying to close the deal I was recommended Approved by a friend of a friend. I didn't have my hopes high to be completely honest, however decided to give it a go and called Masoud. He was quite reassuring over the phone, and after our meeting I finally felt like I'm in the right hands. Long story short, we closed the deal and most importantly I got a much better rate than expected. I already recommended Approved to my colleague, and I'm sure there'll be more referrals from me when the time comes
  • Avatar Juan Pearson ★★★★★
    Nick gave me great advice and fair rates to process my mortgage. Marianela, his assistant, was quick getting back to me and explained any questions about documents. Would highly recommend these guys.
