Mortgage Services We Offer In Ottawa

As a full-service mortgage brokerage in Ottawa, we handle purchases, refinancing, commercial deals, and alternative lending:

First-Time Homebuyer Mortgages
Your first purchase is easier with an experienced mortgage advisor in Ottawa. We walk you through eligibility, down payment options, and government incentives to keep costs low.

Refinancing Mortgages
Lower your monthly payment or consolidate higher-interest debt with refinancing options tailored to your financial situation. We compare terms across lenders to find real savings.

Investment Property Mortgages
Building a rental portfolio in Ottawa’s competitive market takes the right financing. We help investors structure loans that support long-term returns without overextending.

Commercial Mortgages
From multi-unit residential buildings to retail and office properties, we arrange commercial mortgage financing in Ottawa with terms built around business cash flow.

Private & Alternative Lending
If your situation doesn’t fit a traditional lending profile — self-employed, bruised credit, unique property — we connect you with private lenders in Canada who approve where banks won’t.

How Our Ottawa Mortgage Brokers Process Works

  1. Free Consultation: We review your financial goals, credit profile, and borrowing timeline. No commitment required.
  2. Lender Comparison: Your mortgage specialist compares rates across 30+ lenders to identify the most competitive options.
  3. Application Preparation: We prepare and submit all documentation, making sure everything meets lender requirements upfront.
  4. Rate Negotiation: Our brokers negotiate directly with lenders to lock in favorable rates and terms on your behalf.
  5. Approval & Closing: We guide you through final approval and conditions so nothing falls through the cracks.

Client-Centered Approach

Tips for Ottawa Homebuyers

Check Your Credit: Even a small score improvement can lower your interest rate. Review your Equifax and TransUnion reports early.

Save for a Down Payment: Putting down 20% or more eliminates mortgage insurance and reduces your total borrowing cost.

Get Pre-Approved: A pre-approval shows sellers you’re serious, locks in your rate, and gives you a clear budget.

Compare Rates With a Broker: Don’t settle for the first offer. An Ottawa mortgage broker compares options from dozens of lenders for you.

Understand Closing Costs: Budget for land transfer tax, legal fees, home inspection, and title insurance — typically 1.5–4% of the price.

Why Choose The Best Mortgage Broker in Ottawa Over a Bank?

Banks offer their own products at their own rates. A mortgage broker works independently, giving you access to a full lending marketplace with competitive options. Here’s how the right broker helps:

Best Rates

We submit your file to multiple lenders at once, consistently securing rates below what a single bank offers.

Save Time

We handle the rate comparison, the paperwork, and the lender negotiations so you can focus on your purchase.

No two borrowers are the same. We build mortgage solutions around your specific financial situation.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lawrence and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his outstanding service. As a first-time homebuyer, navigating the mortgage process was very stressful, but Lawrence made the experience seamless and stress-free. After facing setbacks with another broker, I was fortunate to find Lawrence through a family friend. What stood out the most was his efficiency and dedication to securing the best mortgage for me. Despite the challenges I faced previously, Lawrence successfully closed the deal within just one week! His professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. Lawrence took the time to understand my specific needs and financial situation, providing personalized guidance and ensuring I felt confident in my decisions. I also appreciated Lawrence's transparency and clear communication. He kept me informed at every step, making sure I understood the terms of the mortgage and answering any questions I had promptly. In addition to his expertise, Lawrence demonstrated a genuine commitment to helping me achieve my goal of homeownership. His dedication and quick turnaround were truly impressive. Thank you Lawrence. Hope you the best.

We had a very short time to close our home but Lawrence and Abigail were able to do it for us. We truly felt like we were their top priority from beginning to end and we were kept updated at all times. I would definitely recommend Lawrence and Abigail for any mortgage needs.

Lawrence was an absolute gem. He was so helpful! He not only got me an amazing rate for my house but when I had such horrible credit he gave me advice on how to improve it so I can make the most of my first time buying a house with the best rate I could find!

Not one to leave reviews, but felt compelled after my experience at Centum Bank Street Mortgage. Fawaz was not just knowledgeable about the entire process, but walked us through the entire process from A-Z without missing a single step. It was our first time buying a house, and as beginners, he was diligent and absolutely professional in his approach and conduct in order to get us settled into our home. He went above and beyond when I had questions for him during off hours and he responded immediately. Not to mention, he also got us a great rate! Haven't had a person be proactive in their approach with their client to this extent, unbelievable service, highly recommended!!

FAQ's

1. Is it worth using a mortgage broker?

Yes. A mortgage broker compares rates across dozens of lenders on your behalf, handles the paperwork, and negotiates with underwriters — typically resulting in a lower rate and faster approval than approaching a single bank.

For most residential borrowers, there is no direct cost. Mortgage brokers in Ottawa are compensated by the lender once your mortgage funds, so you get professional rate shopping at no charge.

A bank offers its own products at its own rates. A broker accesses multiple lenders — including that same bank — and compares options side by side, giving you a wider view of the market.

Not every broker has access to every lender. At Bank Street Mortgage, we work with 30+ lenders and have over 15 years of experience in Ottawa’s market, which keeps your options wide open.

Mortgage rates change frequently based on the Bank of Canada’s policy rate and individual lender pricing. The best way to know your actual rate is to speak with a licensed mortgage broker who can pull live quotes based on your credit, down payment, and property type.
