First-Time Home Buyer FAQs

What is the minimum down payment for a first home in Canada?

For homes up to $500,000, the minimum down payment is 5%. For homes between $500,000 to $1.5M, it is 5% on the first $500,000, and then 10% on the portion above that up until $1.5M. Some provinces may differ. We help you calculate how much you need.

What if my family is giving me money for my first home?

Yes, that's not a problem. Many first-time buyers receive help from family. We provide the specific "gift letter" templates and documentation required to ensure these funds are accepted by lenders and satisfy all regulatory requirements.

Why should I work with a Mortgage Agent instead of just going to my bank?

A bank employee can only offer you the specific products and rates their employer provides. As an independent Mortgage Agent, I work for you, not the bank. I have access to over 88 different lenders, including major banks, credit unions, and private lenders, allowing me to shop the entire market to find the strategy that best fits your goals, often with better rates and more flexible terms than a single bank can offer.

I’m a first-time buyer... where do I even start?

The first step is education. We begin with a pre-approval to determine your true budget, but we also dive into the "hidden" costs of homeownership. I'll walk you through the entire process so there are no surprises on closing day.

What is the First Home Savings Account (FHSA)?

The FHSA is a powerful tool that allows you to save up to $40,000 tax-free for your first home. Contributions are tax-deductible (like an RRSP), and withdrawals are tax-free (like a TFSA). We help you integrate this into your overall down payment strategy.

Does it cost me anything to work with a Mortgage Agent?

In the vast majority of standard residential cases, my services are free to you. I am compensated by the lender that we choose together. If a deal is highly complex (such as some private lending scenarios), any potential fees are always discussed upfront with full transparency. There are never any hidden costs.

What happens if interest rates drop after I’ve signed my mortgage?

Part of my "educational" approach is monitoring the market for you even after the deal is closed. If rates drop significantly, we will run the numbers to see if the savings from breaking your current mortgage and switching to a lower rate outweigh the penalties. I'm your partner for the life of your mortgage, not just the transaction.
