Mortgage Broker in Barrie, Ontario

We're going through a divorce or separation, can you help us with our mortgage?

Your home can be the asset that gives both partners a fresh start.

​

If you have a final separation agreement, then let’s talk about how the value of your home and the power of your mortgage can help you both move forward on a firm footing.

First, we need to ask a
few key questions:

Are you hoping to stay in the existing home?
Many couples assume that the house must be sold – but that’s not always the case. We have resources that can help one partner remain in the home. The home can be refinanced up to 80 per cent of its value. You’ll need to determine if this equity can pay off joint debt and provide a payout if it’s required. Or one spouse can purchase the home outright from the other spouse who then comes off the title. A Spousal Separation Mortgage allows a buyout to 95 per cent, which can provide a fair buyout and possibly pay off any other joint debt.

 

Do you want to buy a new home?

We can let you know what you can qualify for and what is affordable for you in your current financial situation.


Will you need to boost your credit rating?
A less-than-stellar credit rating can affect your ability to get the best mortgage rates. We have some quick strategies to help you polish your credit and to build (or rebuild) your credit over time. For many separating couples, their home is their most important asset. That’s why seeking our advice very early in the process can help set the stage for a successful separation – so the two of you can each make the best possible start on a new path.

​

Feeling overwhelmed?

That’s normal!

We can help make a challenging time a little more hopeful: with personalized mortgage financing advice. We’ve helped many individuals in these same situations. Divorce or separation doesn’t need to spell the end of financial hope.
