Who Is FamilyLending.ca?

Unsure what a mortgage broker is? We've got a full explanation here, but the simple explanation is that a mortgage broker is a professional who matches borrowers and lenders together to review available rates and find the most suitable mortgage product for the borrower.
A Canadian mortgage broker usually works with dozens or even hundreds of lenders in order to find the best possible mortgage fit for their home buyer clients. A mortgage broker doesn't lend money. Instead, the broker acts as a liaison between the borrowers and lenders in order to find the perfect match.

Think that a 5 percent down payment is enough to secure a great mortgage rate? Think again. Pulling together the minimum 5 percent down payment, while a good start, is just that – a start. If you’re a first time home buyer looking to move up the property ladder, don’t skimp on your down payment.
