What does a mortgage broker do?

A mortgage broker helps you compare mortgage options from different lenders, prepare your application and understand rates, penalties and conditions. Pragmatic Mortgage Lending provides licensed mortgage broker guidance in British Columbia and Alberta, from your first planning conversation through closing and renewal.

Does it cost anything to work with Pragmatic?

An initial consultation is free. On many standard residential mortgages, the lender pays the broker. Some alternative, private or complex financing may involve borrower-paid fees. We explain any applicable fees before you commit. See our pricing and disclosures for details.

How much down payment do I need in Canada?

For an eligible owner-occupied purchase below $1.5 million, the minimum is generally 5% of the first $500,000 and 10% of the remainder. Homes priced at $1.5 million or more require at least 20%. Mortgage default insurance is typically required below 20% down. Lender and property rules may require more.

Should I choose a fixed or variable mortgage?

A fixed rate gives you a set interest rate for the term. A variable rate can change with the lender's prime rate; payment behaviour depends on the product. Compare your budget, risk tolerance, expected moves, prepayment options and penalties alongside the rate. There is no single best choice for everyone.
