There are many mortgage brokers in Ottawa, but your average broker is less likely to give you the same personal attention and relationship that I provide. Terms such as ‘mortgage rate’, ‘pre-approval’, and ‘best mortgage’ can be daunting without someone explaining them to you. I’ll break down the jargon so you can better understand your finances. Your satisfaction with your home is my first priority.
Plenty of mortgage brokers are great with numbers. The human element? Well, that can be rarer. A big investment benefits most from a big emphasis on relationships; these processes go more smoothly when an element of trust is established. Feeling at ease and relaxed means working better together, and that makes finding the ideal solution a better experience for everyone.
My name is Andrew Thake. I’m a mortgage broker in Ottawa with well over a decade’s experience, and I’m here to help you enjoy this process rather than fear it. How? By listening to you. Getting to know you. Understanding what your needs are. That way, we can develop a stronger broker-client relationship. The result? You’ll have a better, more personalized experience and get a solution that you’re happier with. It’s all in how we paint a clear picture of your requirements. Plus, you don’t have to lift a finger – that’s my job!
Finding a mortgage broker can be a daunting process. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or it’s not your first rodeo, I’m here to make the process smooth and stress-free. Regardless of which services you need, you’ll benefit from the same attentive, personalized and hands-free approach – you won’t be stuck doing any heavy-lifting or guesswork.

We also placed offers over the weekend and Andrew was highly responsive, offering honest feedback. I highly recommend working with Andrew to meet your mortgage needs! His knowledge and availability was much appreciated.
