When I first got into the mortgage business eight years ago, my mentors talked a lot about funding ratios, the number of mortgages you close with a lender compared to the number of applications you send that same lender. “Don’t apply to more than one lender for a mortgage” they told me, “lenders keep track of the number applications you send them, and if you don't close enough of them, they will cut you off!”
That sounded scary so I was sparse with the number of applications I sent out. Recently I have become much bolder, sending out just as many applications I feel is necessary to get the job done. The other day I signed up a client for a mortgage—I had to apply to five different lenders to get them this mortgage!
The mortgage was for a self-employed couple who were not able to prove income. They had just 15% down and to make matters worse, the husband did not have his permanent Canadian status. The first two lenders I applied to declined for one reason or another. Though I felt strongly that the application would eventually be approved by an “A” lender, I sent it to a “B” lender next, so the borrowers could at least sleep at night knowing they had a mortgage they could live with in a worst case. The B lender approved the deal but at a higher rate. I continued to shop and eventually found the applicants a mortgage at 2.25%, which by today`s standards is a very good rate!

Mortgage Broker Gets You More Money
After applying for a mortgage at their bank, a couple were told they would need a 35% down payment to qualify. Since this was more money than they could manage, their real estate agent referred them to me for a second opinion.
Having recently been transferred to Canada from another country, the couple were now living and working in Canada on Work Visa's.
After researching the mortgage options available, I was able to arrange; now get this - AT THE SAME BANK they were told they would need 35% down - a mortgage with just 5% down!
Isn't it weird that when you go to the bank you're told one thing, but when a mortgage broker applies to the same bank, you get a completely different response?
It might have to do with lack of training of bank staff, or perhaps the bank offers different products to mortgage brokers than they do to their own sales staff...
One thing is for sure...it pays to talk to a mortgage broker. Mortgage brokers can access mortgage products from dozens of lenders, and a good mortgage broker will to make sure you get the right mortgage product, for your needs.
Do you have an opportunity you want to talk to me about? Call me at 416 876 2031.
I look forward to hearing from you!

The Sales-Gods at work
A colleague once told me he believed in the Sales-Gods. "In the game of selling, the Sales-Gods were always at work" he would say. Funny as it sounds, I think he was right. Let me explain.
Let's say you're hard at work farming territory 'A.' Suddenly, an opportunity bubbles up in area 'B.' Ever wonder why this happens? It's the Sales-Gods, rewarding you for your work.
I have a friend who's an ardent believer in The Law of Attraction, an idea made extra popular in a famous book called The Secret. While I do believe in the Law of Attraction, I think some people have big misconceptions about it. The same friend once told me I'd be able to make a parking spot appear just by imagining it. Better to imagine winning the lottery I think...
Recently I've been putting the Law of Attraction to work by telling realtors I've been working on mostly larger mortgages transaction. "It takes the same amount of effort to close a big one as it does a to close a small one" I tell them. And of course the benefits, which are the same for the realtor as they are for me are obvious - bigger payoff!
One further benefit of working on larger transactions; our lenders assign more experienced people to work on them, so in many ways, getting an approval is even easier!
Have an opportunity you want to talk about? Call me at 416 876 2031.
I look forward to hearing from you!
