First-Time Homebuyer in Ontario? Here’s How The Mortgage Boss® Can Help
Buying your first home is a big deal—and in today’s market, it can also feel overwhelming. Whether you’re looking in Toronto, Thunder Bay, Sudbury, or anywhere across Ontario, the good news is: you don’t have to figure it out alone.
As The Mortgage Boss®, I help first-time buyers across Ontario understand their options, avoid costly mistakes, and get into homes that actually make sense for their budget and goals.
Why First-Time Buyers Need a Mortgage Broker
Let’s be honest: banks are built for volume, not flexibility. A mortgage broker (that’s me!) looks at your unique situation, compares multiple lenders, and helps you make informed decisions—not just fast ones.
Working with The Mortgage Boss® means:
-
Access to a wide range of lenders (not just one bank)
-
Honest advice about what you can actually afford
-
Guidance through down payment options, CMHC-insured mortgages, and credit tips
-
Real explanations, real support—no guesswork
Common First-Time Buyer Questions (And Answers)
“How much do I need for a down payment?”
In Ontario, you can buy with as little as 5% down (thanks to CMHC). I’ll help you calculate exactly what that looks like for your price range.
“What’s the first step?”
Get pre-approved! I’ll assess your income, credit, and debts to help you understand what you can qualify for.
“Can I use a gifted down payment?”
Absolutely—as long as it's from an immediate family member and properly documented.
“Do I qualify for the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive?”
Maybe! I can help you find out if you're eligible for this or other programs like the RRSP Home Buyers' Plan.
My Promise to First-Time Buyers
I’ll never pressure you to take on more than you can handle. I’ll walk you through every step of the process, help you ask the right questions, and make sure you’re 100% comfortable before you sign anything.
Plus, my services are completely free to you.
