How Our Story Started
We understand the challenges seniors face first-hand, truly.
When my mother-in-law was 91 she was still driving, and living in her own home when she suffered a stroke. We insisted she move in with us and learned very quickly how challenging it can be to look after the needs of the elderly, in the dignified manner they deserve, and still keep the wheels of life moving.
At that time I was a Director of Mortgage Compliance at one of the 'Big Banks' and quite frankly unhealthy, overworked and most definitely under-appreciated. l left that job and my wife and I set out to figuring out how to care for my mother-in-law (and ourselves) and arrange for help to look after her properly.
We had visited care homes in the past and were appalled. Not only were they expensive ($5000-7000/mo.), but sometimes the elderly would only see another human being a few brief times a day. I believe one can literally die of loneliness in some of these facilities.
It's a statistical fact that seniors that live in their own home near or with family, friends and familiar places live longer, healthier and happier lives. They deserve that.
If you're looking after someone else.getting help is critical. Otherwise, your own health may suffer or you may not know how to adequately meet the needs of looking after the person properly.
We were lucky that we found a way to make it work, and had the means to do so, but what if you don't have a family support network or even the 'know-how' to meet someone's specialized medical needs? Then you need the financial means to afford help.
After my mother-in-law passed away, my wife and I spent time traveling, and then I decided to open up another mortgage brokerage (I had one many years prior). I decided that I would focus on alternative and reverse mortgages because everyone knows there are a millions of Canadians retiring and all levels of government have repeatedly done little more than make broken promises for decades to prepare.
You can't count on getting into a home even if you can afford it. There are tens of thousands on waiting lists for care facilities already. If you get a spot, chances are it won't be in your city.
You have to be ready to look after yourself and your loved ones. You can't count on anyone else to do it.
If you own a home and you are over the age of 55 and own your home use it to buy some help and make your home work for you. Whether it be hiring a personal care work, gardener, house cleaners or even having meals cooked for you it all can be manageable.
Need to renovate? There's a shortage of contractors so you better prepare ahead of time.
A Revere Mortgage is essentially a 'Home Pension Plan'. You invest money into your home for years, it grows in value over time and you can easily withdrawal equity from it when you need it.
You don't need permission from anyone if you think a reverse mortgage is right for your circumstances. Period.
Have you ever asked your financial advisor for some of your money back? You likely had a discussion about Capital Gains Tax, loss of monthly income, estate planning etc. So confusing.
Want to leave equity to your children or grandchildren? You don't have to wait to do that. Wouldn't you rather see them thrive and benefit from that while you are alive (not to mention make sure they get your inheritance as you intended and wish).
Arranging a Reverse Mortgage is as easy as it gets when it comes to paperwork and qualifying.
You will also get independent legal advice from a lawyer, to ask questions, make sure you understand everything, with no one else pressuring you or whispering in your ear.
There are pitfalls to choosing the wrong lender, product, term or option. How does one choose? With expert help.
Several regulated Canadian institutional lenders now offer different reverse mortgage products to meet different needs. It's hard to choose wisely. If you are shopping directly to any one of the reverse mortgage lenders, you are only being offered their products. S
It's the last major financial decision you will make. Do you really want to guess and try to figure it out yourself? That's where we help and we charge NO FEES to help arrange a reverse mortgage.
Our website and our social media provides clear independent information on Canadian Reverse Mortgages to help you make suitable decisions. If and when you are ready to proceed a licenced Agent will provide advice and help you every step of the way to:
- find the most suitable product for you
- help you arrange your reverse mortgage
- advise you when a reverse mortgage may NOT be right for you and suggest a different product/solution
Did I mention we NEVER charge a fee for helping you arrange a reverse mortgage? :)
I hope you reach out to us. We aren't pushy. We are not in a rush. And we want you to make great decisions. When you are ready. It's all good.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reverse Mortgage?
Reverse Mortgages allow Canadian homeowners to convert a portion of their home's value into tax-free cash, with no regular mortgage payments until they move or sell or the last homeowner passes away.
Unlike regular mortgages or even Home Equity Lines of Credit where you must normally qualify on a higher income and credit threshold, with reverse mortgages qualifying is more straightforward, making it a more accessible option for older homeowners. Generally, you need to show that you can keep up with property taxes, condo fees and home insurance.
Are there any costs for a reverse mortgage?
The expenses associated with a reverse mortgage depend on its type. These may involve lender fees, charges for independent legal advice, and the cost of a home appraisal.
We do not charge fees. The brokerage is paid by the lender just like any other commissioned salesperson. The benefit of using our brokerage is that we help you choose the best lender and the right product from the numerous products available in Canada today.
What are the interest rates for a Reverse Mortgage in Canada?
Rates vary based on the product you choose and your qualifying lender. For example, if you want more money upfront the rate might be different than if you want money spread out each month over time.
During the approval process a Mortgage Specialist will fully explain interest rates, fees ensuring transparency & no hidden costs. For a quick overview, fill in your contact information and you can normally be provided with a quote within 24 hours.
How old do I have to be for a Reverse Mortgage in Canada?
To qualify for a reverse mortgage in Canada, factors considered include your age, being a Canadian homeowner, the location and type of home, the appraised value, the home's condition, and the amount of home equity.
How do I apply for a Reverse Mortgage?
The process is straightforward and convenient! Provide basic information, including your home's approximate value, type, address, and age and gender.
To initiate the reverse mortgage application process, simply fill out our Free Estimate Form online or call us at (647) 499-8574 to speak with a reverse mortgage specialist to apply over the phone.
When and how do I repay my Reverse Mortgage?
Reverse Mortgages offer the flexibility of no regular payments until you move or sell your home or the last homeowner passes away. However, you can make payments if you want to, so that interest doesn't accrue.
Repayment, including the borrowed amount & accrued interest, can be done at any time, potentially incurring a prepayment charge. Typically, customers use proceeds from selling their homes to settle the reverse mortgage.
