Don't sign the bank's first offer. I shop your renewal across dozens of lenders before your term is up, and at renewal you can switch lenders with no penalty.

Kitchener
Where I'm based. Downtown condos, Victoria Park semis, new builds out in Doon and Huron: I know what lenders ask for on each.
Waterloo
From uptown towers to Laurelwood family homes. Tech relocations, first purchases and investment condos near the universities.
Cambridge
Century homes in Galt, newer subdivisions in Hespeler, and everything along the Grand. Renewals and refinances are the big conversation here.
Guelph
Limestone downtown, south-end family neighbourhoods and the Arboretum side. First-time buyers and move-up purchases.
Renewing in 2026 or 2027?
1,150,000 Canadian mortgages renew in 2026: 940,000 more in 2027
Most were signed when rates sat under 2%, yet roughly half of this year's renewals will see payments stay flat or even drop, if the new rate reflects today's market. The real risk isn't the increase: it's signing your bank's first renewal offer without comparing it. Renewal is the one point in your term when you can switch lenders with no penalty.

I'm building my practice one client at a time. If we've worked together, a quick Google review helps the next family find honest mortgage advice, and I'd genuinely appreciate it.

Get to know Melod
I got into mortgages because I like helping people get past the paperwork and into the home, investment property, or refinance they've been working toward. As an agent with Pineapple, I'm not tied to one bank: I compare rates and terms across the market and build a plan around your numbers, not a script.
Access to dozens of lenders, not just one bank's rate sheet

FAQ
Common questions
For most standard residential mortgages, nothing: the lender pays the agent once your mortgage closes. If your situation requires a private or specialty lender, any fee is disclosed upfront before you commit.
Insured mortgages generally look for a score of around 600 or higher, and a stronger score usually opens up more lender options. Below that there are still alternative lenders; where a file needs a private lender, a Level 2 colleague on my Pineapple team places it. I can also help you build a plan to improve your score first.
In Canada, the minimum is 5% on the first $500,000 of the purchase price and 10% on the portion above that. With 20% or more, you avoid mortgage default insurance entirely.
A pre-qualification is a quick estimate based on numbers you provide. A pre-approval is lender-verified: your documents are reviewed and a rate is held, usually for up to 120 days, which makes your offers stronger.
No. Multiple mortgage inquiries made within a short window are typically treated as a single inquiry by the credit bureaus. That's the advantage of one application shopped across many lenders.
A pre-approval usually takes one to three business days once your documents are in. Full approval depends on the lender, your file and the property, but most standard purchases are fully approved well within the financing condition period.
