Calgary & Alberta Advantage
Calgary's competitive housing market moves quickly, and having a mortgage pre-approval gives buyers a significant advantage. Sellers and realtors take pre-approved buyers more seriously, and in multiple-offer situations, a pre-approval can be the difference between winning and losing a property. Alberta's absence of a provincial land transfer tax also means your closing costs are lower than in Ontario or BC, so more of your savings can go toward your down payment. Jay helps Calgary buyers get pre-approved quickly and with the best rate available across 60+ lenders.
