1. A professional mortgage broker will assemble all of the documents required. This can include credit reports, asset disclosures, and property appraisals. 2. The lender will then receive the documents from your broker to manage the mortgage approval and disbursement. 3. Brokers are replete with knowledge and information and are determined to help their clients. They are around to help before the deal, and are available to answer and question you might have during the pre-approval process. 4. If you have less than 20% saved for a down payment, a mortgage broker can still help you find a competitive mortgage rate. 5. If your credit isn’t flawless, a broker can even locate bad credit mortgage rates. 6. Though it is not a requirement of Canadian mortgage brokers, they may be able to provide a client with credit counselling. Mortgage brokers are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to financing – don’t be afraid to ask for their advice!

A homeowner’s guide to saving money this winter
YOUR HOME SOLD GUARANTEED or I’LL BUY IT!*
OPEN HOUSES! Move Up To Any of These Homes & Have YOUR HOME
I
f you haven’t made a new year’s resolution by now, perhaps your holiday bills can act as inspiration. Resolving to reduce monthly housing costs may take the edge off those holiday expenses. According to Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, “January in particular is a good time to make some simple and inexpensive changes that will not only help line your pockets in the short term, but will add value to your home in the long run.” Dorner’s tips to reducing winter home expenses: • Fill the gaps – With 40 per cent of home heat loss in winter due to air leakage, keep heat in your home by installing weatherstripping and caulking around windows. Also, consider replacing old windows with new energy efficient options (look for the Energy Rating) before next winter. • Go low-flow – To reduce water consumption, replace older model showerheads and toilets with low-flow models. • Warm up the old-fashioned way – Instead of cranking up the heat on cold winter nights, use flannel sheets (which are warmer than cotton sheets) and add down duvets to stay toasty. • Unplug electronics and small appliances – Computers, cell phone chargers, and other electronics often use power and radiate heat even when turned off. Try plugging items into a power strip that you can use as master switch. • Save on home insurance – By installing an alarm system, deadbolt locks and proper smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, you can lower the cost of your home insurance and give yourself some extra piece of mind. • Install LED light bulbs – These bulbs may cost more initially, but they have a much longer life than normal incandescent bulbs and use far less electricity – LEDs only use about 2% of the electricity of incandescents! • Install a programmable thermostat – These devices regulate the temperature in your home automatically, according to the schedule you set. “Homeowners can benefit hugely by making these changes and increasingly, buyers are attuned to the importance of purchasing an efficient home. Talk to your realtor about what you can do to save money now, while keeping in mind what may be appealing to future buyers,” says Dorner. More information is available at www. wedothehomework.ca.

Dear Tom and Diane, Although we have talked on the phone I wanted to say again how much I appreciate your assistance in selling my home. I still can’t believe that it sold so quickly and I’m relieved that I no longer have to stress over the “what if’s”. The credit goes to both of you for your professional and caring approach and ensuring that everything was as smooth as possible. From our first meeting to set the price and conditions....to the signing on the dotted line...and to your follow up telephone call I felt that you guided me through the process while taking care of my concerns and even holding my hand when I needed help over a bump. Thank you so much. I also want to thank you for your help over the years. Since we first met in 2006 you have supported me not only through this sale but also that of our Harewood home and my aunt’s home in London, Ontario. Each time your assistance made a tremendous difference and I have nothing but praise for you and your team. I am sure that we will be in touch again over the years to come -- I did mention the “five year plan” didn’t I? Until then I hope that all goes well and that the years ahead are happy, healthy, and prosperous.
