What Clients Are Saying
Real Solutions for Real Life
Not every mortgage fits neatly into a bank’s box – and that’s okay.
I specialize in helping:
- First-time home buyers
- Self-employed borrowers
- Clients with bad credit or past financial challenges
- Homeowners looking to consolidate debt
With access to a wide network of lenders, I can find solutions tailored to your situation – not just what one bank is willing to offer.
First-Time Home Buyers
Buying your first home doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. I’ll guide you through every step – from pre-approval to closing – so you can move forward with confidence.
Self-Employed Mortgages
If your income doesn’t fit traditional guidelines, I work with lenders who understand how to properly assess self-employed clients.
Debt Consolidation
Combine high-interest debts into one manageable payment and regain control of your finances.
Bad Credit Mortgages
Been declined by a bank? There are still options. I help clients get approved now while building a plan to improve their financial future.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a mortgage broker do?
A mortgage broker works on your behalf to find the best mortgage solution from multiple lenders, rather than just one bank. This gives you more options, better flexibility, and often better approval chances.
Do I need perfect credit to get a mortgage?
No. You do not need perfect credit to get a mortgage. There are many lending options available for clients with good, fair, or challenged credit depending on your situation.
Can I get a mortgage if I’ve been declined by a bank?
Yes. Being declined by a bank does not mean you can’t get a mortgage. Alternative and private lenders often use different approval criteria based on income, equity, and overall financial picture.
How much do I need for a down payment in Ontario?
The minimum down payment in Canada is typically 5% for homes under $500,000. Higher-priced homes require tiered down payments based on the purchase price.
Can self-employed people get a mortgage?
Yes. Self-employed borrowers can qualify for mortgages using alternative income verification methods such as bank statements, stated income, or business financials.
What is a mortgage pre-approval?
A pre-approval is an estimate from a lender showing how much you can borrow and at what rate. It helps you shop with confidence and strengthens your offer when buying a home.
How can I improve my chances of mortgage approval?
Improving your credit score, reducing debt, saving for a larger down payment, and working with a mortgage broker can all increase your chances of approval.
Do you charge for your mortgage services?
In most cases, mortgage brokers are compensated by the lender once your mortgage is funded, meaning there is typically no direct cost to you for standard mortgage services.
What areas do you serve?
Abbi works with clients across Ontario, including Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, and surrounding areas.
How do I get started?
The best first step is to book a free consultation or complete a mortgage application so we can review your situation and explore your options.
