Mortgage agent in Ottawa

Ottawa households are often federal public service, military, or contract-based — income types that qualify well when they are documented the way lenders expect, and stall when they are not.

What matters on Ottawa mortgage files

Public service and pension income

Indexed pensions and permanent public-service income are strong on paper, but term positions and acting pay need the right supporting letters. We ask for those up front rather than mid-underwriting.

One land transfer tax

Ottawa buyers pay only the provincial land transfer tax, with a first-time buyer rebate available. Closing costs are meaningfully lower than in Toronto on the same price.

New-build closing timelines

Suburban new construction often closes far out, and rate holds do not always stretch that far. We plan the hold and the extension strategy before you sign with the builder.

Ottawa prices leave more room for insured financing than the GTA, which widens your lender list — including monolines with strong prepayment terms that many Ottawa buyers never hear about from their branch.
