- How It Works
Simple Five Step Process
A five-step, client-focused process—from initial discovery to ongoing support—designed for clarity, speed, and seamless results.
We begin with a 15-30 minute focused consultation, either in person or online. Here we walk you through the mortgage process, assess your affordability, and outline the best path forward.
Following the meeting, we present a tailored mortgage strategy with clear recommendations, lender comparisons, along with a full breakdown of rates and fees. In most cases your Agreement in Principle is delivered at the same time, giving you the full confidence to move forward with offers.
Once you’re ready to proceed, we manage the entire application process on your behalf. You’ll be assigned a dedicated case handler who works alongside your broker to collect documents, prepare your application, and keep everything running smoothly.
We liaise directly with the lender throughout underwriting. This entails answering questions, chasing updates and negotiating terms where needed. During this time, we also keep an active eye on the market in case more competitigd options emerge before completion.
Once your mortgage completes, our relationship doesnt end there. We stay in touch to review your loan when appropriate and remain on hand to offer advice whenever you need it, ensuring your mortgage continues to work for you over time.
