In a standard Ontario home purchase, your real estate agent and your mortgage broker work on parallel tracks. The agent knows what's available. The broker knows what you qualify for. What neither knows — because they've never been required to coordinate — is how those two files interact on your specific transaction.
The result: buyers fall in love with condos that can't be CMHC-insured on their down payment amount. Offer conditions are written around financing timelines that don't match underwriting reality. Pre-approvals are issued for $510,000 on a building where a $847 monthly maintenance fee pushes the GDS ratio to 41% — above the 39% insured maximum.
These aren't edge cases. They're the preventable failures that happen when two advisors each hold half the file.
At Get [Your Home], one advisor holds both the real estate licence and the mortgage broker licence. Your property search and your mortgage structure are built as one integrated decision — before your offer, not after it.
