CRRA AND SOCIAL AGENCIES
PARTNER TO HELP THOSE IN NEED
“In July we announced the launch of our new Housing Program “MY HOME”. The Association has partnered with the
Calgary Homeless Foundation and Social Agencies in Calgary to provide homes for those in need.
When we launched the “MY HOME” Program in early July six social agencies had signed up. I am delighted to
announce that since that time two more have joined and are now participating. This brings to eight the number of
agencies who are partnering with us. These agencies are:

e
e
e

e
Alex - Pathways to Housing
Alfa House
Aspen Family and Community Network Society
Calgary Drop In & Rehab Centre
Calgary John Howard Society
CUPS
Keys to Recovery
The Mustard Seed
The “MY HOME” Program gives each of our owners and property managers a chance to provide a helping hand up
to people who need some assistance. We have made it as easy as possible for you to get involved and the Program
has a number of benefits for landlords that you can’t get when you go to the market to find your tenants.
WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM?
This is the first time that the Association has worked with the social housing community in a collaborative housing
partnership. These agencies work with many people, singles and families, most of whom require some assistance
in their lives and to make ends meet. One of the biggest challenges they have is being able to afford market rental
housing. They need a home and with some rental subsidy assistance and daily living support they can make it. Many
have children and I think we all agree that they need and deserve a stable and loving environment. These social
agencies do the best they can to provide assistance to help their clients. One of their biggest challenges is finding a
home for these people in need. And that is what the “MY HOME” Program is all about - providing a home for those
people who need a hand up.

President’s
Message
David McIlveen
It’s hard to believe that summer is gone and we’re into fall
already. I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable summer.
We launched our new Community Partnership Housing
Program in early July. As I am sure you are aware the
Association has entered into an agreement with the Calgary
Homeless Foundation and eight (8) social housing agencies.
We are looking to our members to step forward over the
next year and make available at least 500 units to provide
homes to the social agency clients. More information about
the Program is contained in this issue of the newsletter. I
encourage all of our members to get involved with this
program. Even though the market is tight and there are
fewer vacancies today than there were a few months ago we
all still experience some turnover at the end of each month.
It is through turnover that you can help. Please make some
of these units available to the program.
The June flooding is behind us, but many of us are still
dealing with the devastating impact it had on so many
of our members and their residents. Our hearts go out
to everyone who was affected by this overwhelmingly
damaging and disastrous tragedy. I am so impressed and
very proud of the way our members responded and how
quickly they set to work cleaning up and restoring their
buildings so their residents could move back into their
homes. Unfortunately some buildings sustained significant
damage and it took longer to make them habitable. There
are still some buildings where work continues to restore
them to operational capacity. We can only hope that we
never experience anything like this again.
I would like to thank our friends at the Centre for Public Legal
Education in Edmonton for sharing with us the document
they developed titled “After the Flood for Landlords and
Tenants in Alberta”. The Association posted a link to this
document on its website www.crra.ca. The information
contained in this document was extremely helpful to our
members as a result of the flood and it answered many of
the questions that both landlords and tenants had about
paying rent, security deposits, is the tenancy frustrated
tenancy, etc.
The rental market tightened even further after the June flood
as many people who had been displaced were looking for
accommodation. We had a request from Alberta Municipal
Affairs to canvas our membership to see if anyone could
provide immediate or near immediate accommodation,
most for a short term basis. The response from our members
was immediate and positive and I thank everyone who was
able to help.
Please don’t forget, we must all be reasonable and
responsible when it comes to increasing rents.

Calgary Residential Rental Association - Fall 2013
Executive
Director’s Report
Gerry Baxter
It’s Time to Renew Your Membership
As 2013 draws to a close we begin to plan for next year.
One of the first and most important matters of business
is the 2014 Membership Renewal. We will be sending out
renewal information shortly and I really encourage you to
renew your membership when you receive the notice. I am
very pleased to say that the membership fees will remain
unchanged for next year.
Our membership continues to grow and we really
appreciate the support of all members. We are on target
to exceed our record high membership number from 2012
when we closed the year with 922 members.
Members have come to appreciate the benefits they
receive through the Association. The educational seminars,
lunches and courses are a big draw. The topics are
extremely relevant to what you do; and, our presenters are
all exceedingly knowledgeable and they are exceptional
about sharing their information with you.
Our Exclusive Rewards Program offers a variety of
discounts from many of our service member companies.
You can reduce costs and save money by contacting any
of the companies in the Program and taking advantage of
what they have to offer.
For the past several years our fastest growing area of
membership has been in the 1-10 unit category. These
members really like being able to do credit checks on
tenants at a very reasonable price though one of our
service member companies.
We provide detailed, legislation compliant forms and
notices so that you can access professionally developed
documents that will stand up in court.
One of the most important benefits of membership is
being able to pick up the phone and call the office when
you have a question about the legislation, or when you are
experiencing a problem with a tenant. We can assist you
and provide you with the information you are looking for.
Special housing program partnerships involving the
Association and several other agencies gives you a chance
to provide housing to people in need while at the same time
being able to keep your units full. There is a tremendous
feeling of satisfaction in being able to help others and
give back to the community. Our NewStart Program a few
years ago was tremendously successful. We are currently
working with the Calgary Homeless Foundation and eight
different social agencies in a similar program. (See our
cover story).
The special events that we offer throughout the year
continue to attract members. The spring Trade Show brings
owners and property managers together with service
companies who showcase their products and services. This
is a “one stop shop” for all members. The Annual Awards
Gala gives you the opportunity to have a lovely night out
with friends and colleagues as we recognize members
who have demonstrated a commitment to excellence
within our industry. In September we host our annual Golf
Tournament, where you have a chance to get out of the
office and enjoy a relaxing, fun filled day. The early lunch,
the camaraderie, the excitement of making a thrilling shot
followed at the end of the day by a wonderful meal and
terrific prizes, makes this an outstanding day for everyone.
The informative and educational Rental Review newsletter
is published quarterly and it contains many articles written
by our members. The content is intended to be helpful to
all.
Networking is another major benefit of being a member of
the Association. We learn from each other and it doesn’t
matter how long you’ve been in the industry, there is always
something new, or some wrinkle that’s been added. You
just can’t beat being able to “rub shoulders” with others
who experience the same challenges on a daily basis.
And of course, members recognize the value in belonging
to an Association that maintains an excellent working
relationship with both the Provincial Government and the
City of Calgary.
As a member you can help grow the Association by talking
to your friends, colleagues and acquaintances. All property
owners and managers will benefit from membership. If
you know a service company that provides a product or
service that would be helpful to other members, and who
you feel would benefit from membership, tell them about
the Association and encourage them to join or call the
CRRA office for more information. We always welcome the
opportunity to speak with prospective new members.
As you can see, Calgary Residential Rental Association offers
something for everyone involved in the residential rental
industry. Why wouldn’t you want to renew or become a
new member?

A GO O D FRIEN D IS M O VIN G O N
By David McIlveen
Diane Rhyason, who is the Executive Director of the Centre for Public Legal Education in Edmonton, is
retiring. We have had a terrific working relationship with Diane for the past 12 years. She has been a
tremendous contributor to the Alberta Residential Tenancies Advisory Committee (ARTAC), which I cochair and where I represent the interests of our members, along with our Executive Director. Diane has
done a marvelous job of chairing the ARTAC Education sub-committee for many years. This committee has
provided excellent input to Government on a number of their publications.
Some time back she asked for the Association’s input into the
development of the landlord section of the landlordandtenant.org
website, which was spearheaded under her direction. This is an extremely informative
and educational website that provides a wealth of information to both landlords and
tenants in a very user friendly manner.
In April of 2013 Diane and her staff were presented with an Alberta Consumer Champion
Award in the Non-Profit Category for their Vulnerable Youth Project. The Award presented
by Service Alberta Minister Manmeet Bhullar. This is the same event at which The CRRA
was also recognized at this same event for our Residential Tenancies in Alberta Course.
Most recently Diane and her staff quickly developed a flyer titled “After the Flood”, which
she sent to us immediately after the catastrophic floods earlier this year. This document
was made available to our members and the feedback was excellent. It was such a helpful
document answering many of the questions that were being asked by landlords and tenants.
The timeliness with which it this Flyer developed and sent to us was absolutely remarkable.
Diane has been a good friend to our Association and speaking for all of our members I
wish her the very best and hope she enjoys a long, healthy and happy retirement.
We will miss her.

Are you compliant with the Residential Tenancies Act?
By Kayla McGhan, Team Lead, Consumer Compliance, Service Alberta
Service Alberta’s Compliance and Accountability Unit
conducts inspections each year to ensure that landlords
follow the requirements under the Residential Tenancies Act,
as well as many other inspections under the Fair Trading Act,
Cemeteries Act, and Charitable Fund-Raising Act. The Director
of Residential Tenancies delegates powers to Service Alberta
inspectors to conduct these inspections under the Act.
Entering a Tenant’s Premises
The main purpose of inspections is to determine if the landlord’s
business practices—handling of tenants’ security deposits,
rents, move-in/move-out inspection reports, notice of entry
to tenant’s premises, and residential tenancy agreements
comply with the legislation. Our experience indicates that
inspections also help improve landlords’ understanding and
awareness of their legislated responsibilities.
• Ensure that you maintain accurate and organized records
of all security deposits received, including amount, date
of receipt, date of deposit, details of interest payable and
details of disposition for at least three years after the
termination of the tenancy to which they relate
Here are some tips to improve your own compliance with the
legislation:
Security Deposits:
• Deposit all security deposits received into a separate bank
account designated as “in trust”
• Check that security deposits do not exceed one month’s rent
• When you need to enter a tenant’s premises, ensure that
you provide written notice to the tenant(s) at least 24 hours
before the time of entry (except in the case of emergency or
abandonment)
Records:
• In addition, ensure that you have accurate records of
tenancies, including rent rolls, move-in/move-out inspection
reports, residential tenancy agreements, and records of
storage, disposition or sale of any abandoned goods
For more information, visit servicealberta.ca and click on
Landlords/Tenants.
You can also find the Information for Landlords tip sheet
under Consumer Tips – Landlords and Tenants.
Inspection Reports:
• Take a look at your inspection reports – do they contain all
the requirements of Section 4 of the Residential Tenancies
Ministerial Regulation?

Member in profile: Aaron Boulton-Chaykowski
Aaron was born just down the road in the
beautiful city of Medicine Hat. He was the
third and last child in a family of a long line
of transport truck drivers and dirt farmers!
He graduated from Crescent Heights
High School and was named ‘Best all-around boy’ – not exactly
valedictorian material! Most likely the result of being a bit of a
sport nut and a social butterfly and less focused on academics”.
Before and after high school he tried on many hats from restaurant
service work, retail/grocery, parcel delivery, yard maintenance,
concrete forming, and greenhouse construction/operation. He
even travelled up to the Yukon in a 1970 Ford Falcon – much to his
mother’s chagrin – to work in a sawmill for the summer.
He found that if you work in enough jobs you figure out what you
really need is a career, which usually comes with education, so
he went back to school. He attended Medicine Hat College and
transferred to Concordia University in Edmonton to complete his
degree in Environmental Resource Management.
He was lucky enough to find summer work that brought him
back home each year working for a small agriculture-based
environmental company, which allowed him to work on his
technical research and customer service skills while saving up for
the next school year.
the environmental company for a few more years. After getting
married he and his wife took a few years away from their careers,
setting off on an adventure to Japan to teach English.
Arriving back in Canada in 2003 Aaron and his wife settled in
Calgary. A few years later he was hired by the City of Calgary as
a Water Management Technician. In 2007, as part of his many
duties, he was asked to promote and support the multifamily toilet
rebate program, which naturally led him to the Association. He
says “believe it or not I consider working for the City of Calgary as
the opportunity of a lifetime for me to be able to apply my degree
and work in service of such a great community”.
His family lives in the community of Evanston and he served on the
community board before his family grew into three and then four
(soon to be five). Now he spends his time coaching kid’s soccer and
helping out with school events. If he gets a rare, spare moment you
can usually find him day dreaming about how he wishes he was
fly-fishing on the Dogpound Creek or Highwood River while he is
tying a fly in his garage.
He feels very privileged to have the opportunity to serve the citizens
and businesses of Calgary and he hopes to be able to continue to
work within the City of Calgary for many more years to come.
The Association appreciates the support that Aaron and the City
of Calgary Water Resources have provided over the years
After University he returned to Medicine Hat and stayed on with
VOLUNTEER in profile: Kelly O’connor
K elly was born in San Antonio, Texas. She
says her father is from Calgary and that he
met her mother while attending university
in Texas. She moved to Calgary with her
parents as a child and spent her primary
years here, though would quite often visit
the other half of her family in Texas.
As the company’s residential portfolio grew in Texas, Kelly became
more entrenched in overseeing the operations there. She now
spends half her time in Texas looking after the properties that are
located there.
Kelly received her formal education in Calgary, where she attended
Elbow Park Elementary, Rideau Jr. High and Western Canada High
School. Following her graduation in 1990 she attended Southwest
Texas University where she majored in Social Work.
Kelly says she is thankful for having had the opportunity to work
with her Grandfather and she loves working with her father, uncle,
brother and cousins.
She has worked in her family’s property management business for
most of her life. From the time she was 14 until she graduated from
High School, Kelly spent the summers in the company’s head office
working as a receptionist and doing all sorts of odd jobs around the
office for everyone.
She moved back to Calgary after graduating from university. She
began working full time at the family’s apartment complexes, where
she says she did everything from leasing suites, cleaning suites
and moving residents in and out of the properties. This was later
followed by a move into the company’s head office where she was
responsible for and worked closely with the property managers.
She was also given the responsibility to develop advertising and
for finding ways to keep the properties modernized and current.
Her company is currently working on developing a property in
Calgary for multi-use, including multi-family and she hopes to be
involved with that when it is ready to lease.
She says belonging to the CRRA has been critical to her business
and to her staff as an information and education resource, as
well as networking with others in the industry. She also feels that
being a member of the CRRA and following the Code of Ethical
Principles shows her residents that her company is professional
and accountable.
Kelly says she and her husband have been married for nine years
and they live in Elboya, which is very close to where she grew
up as a child. They love to travel and dote on their 12 nieces and
nephews. She is an avid reader and has found this really comes in
handy as she spends half her life on an airplane.
Kelly is a volunteer with the CRRA’s Education Committee and we
truly appreciate the knowledge and experience she shares with us.

10 Calgary Residential Rental Association - Fall 2013
(“My Home” Cover Story... continued from Page 1)
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE IN THE “MY HOME” PROGRAM?
This is where the Association and its members come in, and it’s easy! You can help by making one or more of your rental units
available. How better to do that than with your month end turnover. You know by the beginning of the month how many units
you have that will turn over for the following month. Instead of going to the market you can make one or more of these units
available to the social agencies you agree to work with.
HOW DO I REGISTER FOR THE “MY HOME” PROGRAM?
Getting involved is easy. We have streamlined the registration process to make it as easy as possible for you. All you have to
do is:
1.Contact Marina Mellino, Project Coordinator for the Calgary Homeless Foundation at either (403) 718- 2925 or
[email protected], and let her know you would like to get involved.
2.She will send you a blank ‘Letter of Agreement’ and a summary sheet listing all of the agencies participating in
the “MY HOME” Program and a description of how they will work with landlords. Review the information you
received from Marina, determine which social agency or agencies you would like to work with (it can be as many
as you like), then fill in and sign the ’Letter of Agreement’ (complete one for each agency you wish to work with),
and return it to Marina.
3.Marina will then forward your ‘Letter of Agreement’ on to each of the agencies with whom you wish to work.
4.You will then be contacted the social agency and you can begin working with them. You can screen prospective
tenants referred to you by the agency.
BENEFITS
There are numerous benefits for Owners and Property Managers who participate in the “MY HOME” Program. Most of
them are not available to you when you shop the open market for new tenants. For example, when you go to the market
for a tenant, there are no guarantees that the tenant will look after the property, pay rent and not disturb others, no matter
how well you screen them. A bad tenant will ultimately cost you money in either trying to remove them or in repairing the
damage they cause.
The “MY HOME” Program provides the following benefits that go far and above anything you will get from the open market.
•Paid Rent assurances
•Security deposits paid
•Damage coverage beyond the security deposit
•Client support for tenants and landlords
•Reduced advertising costs
•Guaranteed tenants, now and in the future when the markets changes and vacancies increase,
which WILL happen. Remember, the market you enjoy today, won’t last forever.
The participating Social Agencies benefit by being able to help their clients find quality housing and this reduces their wait
list. The other benefit they receive is making new owner and property manager contacts and getting to know more people
who can help meet the housing needs of their clients. It greatly enhances their ability to provide the support needed by their
clients once they are housed. The relationships that are established will carry on into the future and will provide the agency
with a consistent and reliable source of housing. This makes their job easier and enables them to meet their mandate.
And of course the clients of these agencies, your new tenants benefit. They now have a home. This makes it easier for them
to receive the support they need without worrying about having to find a home in which to live. Having a home now gives
them the hand up they need so that ultimately they can become self sufficient.
SO WHAT’S MY NEXT STEP?
Please contact Marina Mellino, Project Coordinator for the Calgary Homeless Foundation at either (403) 718- 2925
or [email protected].
Do it today and become a participating partner in this worthwhile Housing Program. You can make a huge difference in
someone’s life. We all Benefit by being a part of the “MY HOME” Program.

20th annual
golf tournament
September 11, 2013
This year marked the Association’s 20th year of hosting our annual golf tournament. Members
put their skills to the test as they pulled out their golf clubs and made their way to the River’s
Edge Golf Club on Wednesday, September 11th. What a beautiful day it was - blue skies,
sunshine and warm temperatures made it ideal to be out on the course.
As golfers showed up to register they were greeted by our volunteers who gave each one a
“swag” bag that was filled with goodies donated by many of our generous members.
Boardwalk Rental Communities sponsored our pre-game lunch consisting of a delicious
hamburger and beverage.
Some golfers used the time before the tournament started to hone their skills further
by hitting some balls at the driving range, which was sponsored by Pascoal Painting &
Decorating Inc. (2004).
With a 12:00 p.m. shotgun start, all of the golfers eagerly set off for their respective tee off
locations. Then the real action began. Good golfers, middle of the road golfers and those
who tried their hand at it for the first time all hit the links together. It was a fun day filled
with a lot of laughter and good companionship. It didn’t seem to matter how anyone’s
game went or how they hit the ball, there was support and laughter. Everyone enjoyed
themselves and had a great day.
Coming in at the end of the day all of the golfers were ready for a good meal. This year the
National Bank of Canada sponsored a delicious buffet dinner, which included a large juicy, tender
steak cooked to perfection and a wide assortment of sumptuous food to go with it. Was it ever
good!!!!
There were a large number of prizes donated by many of our members and prize draws saw
lucky golfers scoop them up and take them home.

Landlord’s
RighttotoEnter
EnterProperty
Property
Landlord’sByRight
Rochelle Johannson
By Rochelle Johannson
The landlord’s right to enter the property is often an area of
conflict. Some landlords find it difficult to remember that once
the property is rented, they give up their right to enter at any
time. The Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) attempts to balance
the right of the landlord to enter, against the tenant’s right to
enjoy living in the property free from significant interference
from the landlord. The RTA sets out the procedure to enter a
rental premises, and the consequences for the landlord if the
law is not followed.
Do landlords always have to provide written notice?
Usually landlords must provide tenants with written notice
at least 24 hours before entering. There are three situations
when landlords do not have to provide written notice: if
there is an emergency; if there are reasonable grounds to
believe that the tenant has abandoned the premises; or if
the tenant consents to the entry. Before entering without
notice, landlords should carefully consider the situation and
the consequences.
What should the notice say?
The written notice must be signed by the landlord or a
landlord’s agent, give the reason for entry, and give the
date and time that the landlord plans to enter the property.
Landlords can only enter the property to conduct an
inspection, make repairs, control pests, show the property to
prospective purchasers or the mortgagee, and to show the
property to prospective renters (if it is the last month of a
fixed term tenancy, or if either party has given notice to end
a periodic tenancy). The landlord cannot enter the property
for any other reason.
Are there only certain times that landlords can enter?
Landlords cannot enter the property on a holiday, or on the
tenant’s day of worship (which is presumed to be a Sunday,
but can be changed if the tenant informs the landlord in
writing of a different day of worship). Landlords can only
enter between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm. The duration of the
landlord’s entry must be provided, and must be reasonable
and cannot cover multiple days.
Sometimes it can be difficult to know when repairs will be
completed. If the repairperson cannot commit to a specific
date, landlords should talk to tenants ahead of time and
explain the situation. Most tenants realize that the repairs
ultimately benefit them, and that being flexible with times
will mean that the repairs will probably be done faster. If the
tenant consents to the repairperson’s entry, this consent
should be in writing (if the tenant consents to the entry, then
the landlord does not have to provide notice). If the tenant
is not willing to consent to an entry without notice, then
the landlord should find a repairperson who can provide
specific times that they are available so that the tenant can
be served. This is one of those times when it pays to have a
good relationship with tenants.
How is a notice served?
Landlords have to serve tenants with the notice at least 24
hours before the entry and must follow the RTA procedure.
First, landlords must try to serve the notice personally.
Landlords can do this by giving the notice to the tenant
directly, or by using registered or certified mail to the rental
property address. If the landlord tries to serve the tenant
personally and cannot, then the landlord can serve another
adult who lives in the property or post the notice in a
conspicuous place on the property (tape the notice to the
door). It is not effective service to slide a notice under the
door. The landlord may want to take a picture of the notice
once it is posted.
The RTA does not automatically allow a notice to be served
by email. If the lease states that notices can be served by
email, the lease is in conflict with the RTA. This means that
if the notice is only emailed to the tenant, the tenant has
not been served properly. That being said, many landlords
find it more economical to serve via email, and many tenants
are fine with them doing so. Those landlords are, however,
running the risk of a tenant complaints regarding improper
service of a notice.
Can other people enter the property for landlords?
The landlord’s agent is someone who acts on behalf of the
landlord (a realtor or a maintenance person) and can enter
the property. If an agent is entering, they sign the notice
instead of the landlord, and enter the property without the
landlord. Landlords remain responsible for their agent’s
actions. For example, if the landlord’s realtor entered the
property for a showing without providing proper notice, the
tenant can make a complaint against the landlord.
What happens if the law isn’t followed?
If the rules in the RTA are not followed, landlords could be
found guilty of an offence by Service Alberta and can be
warned, ticketed, or charged. Tenants can make an application
against the landlord if the landlord has interfered with the
tenant’s peaceful enjoyment of the property. Tenants can
also apply for rent abatement, which is an application to
lower the amount of rent that the tenant has to pay during
the period of time that the tenant was disturbed. The tenant
could also make an application to terminate the tenancy,
which could mean that the tenant may be able to exit a fixed
term tenancy of long duration.

The Truth About Flashy Mortgage Specials
By Anat Stapleton
In these times of creative marketing campaigns and highly competitive interest rates, many of
the Big Banks are offering flashy fixed rate specials, usually for a 5-year term. As with anything
that seems too good to be true, there is often the ‘fine print’ that is well worth investigating. In
this case, the fine print can end up handcuffing you over the course of the 5 year term, in ways
you may not have foreseen.
The truth about these “specials” is that they are often very restricted products with limited features. While these features
might not seem so constricting up front, remember that 5 years is a considerable chunk of time, and that people’s life
circumstances sometimes change very dramatically.
Because of this, you want a mortgage solution that not only fits you upfront, but that also offers you options down the
road should you need them.
These are good examples of common restrictions
behind the current “specials” that some banks
are offering:
•Limits on your ability to refinance down the road with
a different Lender for a more competitive rate. If
rates drop considerably or your life changes at some
point during your 5-year term, you want to have the
option of refinancing to save yourself money each
month and/or to fit your new goals. This could really
limit you in doing so.
•Tougher qualification guidelines that get you in the
door, but then prevent you from being approved
for the advertised special. This marketing strategy is
sometimes referred to as a “loss leader”, as it gets
you in the door so that you can be sold another,
usually less competitive product.
•Exposure to a higher payout penalty. This can
sometimes be thousands of dollars higher than
what you’d normally pay in a mortgage without
restrictions.
•No major changes to your mortgage are allowed
unless you sell your property. This alone handcuffs
people who love their principal residence and
don’t wish to move, or, who have lucrative rental
properties and want to hold on to them long-term
for maximum gains.
As a Mortgage Broker Extraordinaire,
I help you find money at competetive
rates and terms so you can:

Req ue st a fr

to day!
Pay off your debt
Renovate your home or business
Buy new property
Here are some important points for you to consider.
You want a Mortgage Broker:
•Who is dedicated to being of service to their clients
and has access to many other full-featured options
with rates that are just as competitive. These
mortgage solutions will offer you a good rate and
flexible features that allow for you to make changes
over time that match your life.
•Whose pure focus every day is to find good mortgage
solutions for their clients. While your bank has its
own policies, internal pushes to sell thousands of
other non-mortgage related financial products and
a limited number of mortgage products, you want
a mortgage broker who has access to more than 40
Lenders offering 100+ mortgage products.
•Who gets updates from Lenders across Canada who
offer a myriad of products that will fit your specific
situation; and who scours these to find a good
mortgage that will fit you.
•Who is not loyal to any one of these Lenders.....but
rather you want one who is loyal to you.
This will ensure you receive exceptional service and help
you understand the fine print when a rate special seems
too good to be true, and coordinate a mortgage for you
that fits with your life, now and down the road.
