Why people call Amit before they call their bank

Your bank shows you one product. Amit shows you the market.

A bank advisor can only sell that bank's mortgages. Amit sends your file to the lenders most likely to say yes at the best terms, then lays the options side by side.

The rate is only half the deal.

Penalties, prepayment limits and portability can cost you more than a slightly higher rate. Amit flags the fine print before you sign, not after.

He picks up the phone.

Evenings and weekends included. When your offer is conditional and the clock is ticking, you get an answer the same day.

Renewing soon? Check your window.

Most lenders let you lock a rate up to 120 days before your renewal date. Start shopping inside that window and you keep the option to take a lower rate if one appears. Pick your renewal month.

Hi, I'm Amit.

I've spent more than ten years helping Ontario families get into homes and out of bad mortgages, from first condos in Kitchener to move-up houses in Brampton. Over $110 million funded, across more than 200 files.

I'll tell you the truth about your options, even when the honest answer is "wait six months." I answer my phone, evenings and weekends included, because that's when most people have time to think about their mortgage.

I work with Dominion Lending Centres, which gives my clients access to one of the largest lender networks in Canada.

Questions people ask first

Something else on your mind? Text Amit. He usually replies the same day.

Does it cost anything to work with a mortgage agent?

For standard residential mortgages, no. The lender pays Amit when your mortgage funds. If your file needs a private or alternative lender, there may be a fee, and you'll see the exact amount in writing before you commit.

Will a call hurt my credit score?

No. The first conversation involves no credit check. When you're ready for a pre-approval, Amit pulls your credit once and uses it to shop multiple lenders.

How early should I look at my renewal?

About four months before your renewal date. Most lenders will hold a rate for up to 120 days, so you can lock in early and still take a lower rate if one appears.

Can I switch lenders at renewal without re-qualifying?

Often, yes. Since November 2024, if you move your mortgage to a new lender at renewal without increasing the amount or amortization, you no longer need to pass the stress test again. Amit will confirm what applies to you.

I'm self-employed. Can I still get a good rate?

Often, yes. Several lenders accept tax returns or business bank statements and look beyond net income after write-offs. Going to the right lender first matters more than anything.

How fast is a pre-approval?

Usually one to two business days once Amit has your documents. You'll get a short checklist after your first call.

Your next step is a 15-minute call.
