My name is Andrew Thake. I’ve been a mortgage broker for over 19 years, and in that time, I’ve helped over 3,500 happy clients find the right mortgage solution for them and their situation.

Serving others is part of who I am. I find joy and freedom in the smiles of excited clients getting the news that they’ve been approved. It’s why I always put people ahead of sales—because I’m not doing it for the sales. I’m doing it to serve others in the best way I know how. Your mortgage is everything to me.

Having the right options can give us freedom and peace of mind. With access to dozens of lenders such as TD Canada Trust, Scotiabank, BMO, and many more, I will be able to provide you with a menu of lenders to choose from. In our journey together, I will review the pros and cons of each lender and help choose the absolute best mortgage. I’ll make sure that you have the freedom to choose the best fit for you.

In Andrew’s first year as a mortgage specialist, TD Canada Trust awarded him the National Rookie of the Year award. In the years to follow, he was recognized as a Canadian Mortgage Professionals Young Gun, which celebrates the most promising industry professionals under the age of 35.

Throughout his career as a mortgage broker, Andrew has consecutively received the Dominion Lending Centres Platinum Award as a top broker in Canada and has also been inducted into the Dominion Lending Centres Hall of Fame.

He is one of Canada’s top 20 Associate Brokers with Mortgage Intelligence/Invis and has placed in the top 5% in Canada with Mortgage Intelligence/Invis.

In 2021, Best in Ottawa recognized Andrew as one of Ottawa’s top 10 mortgage brokers. The following year, bestottawa.ca acknowledged him as one of the Top 5 Best Mortgage Brokers in Ottawa.

Most recently, in 2024, Andrew was recognized as one of the Top 75 Mortgage Brokers in the country by Canadian Mortgage Professionals Magazine. This distinction is a true testament to his continued commitment to his clients.

With expertise in various types of mortgage solutions, I know that getting approval can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on your situation. As your mortgage broker, I can help you speed up this process by walking you through the nuances of different circumstances, whether you’re self-employed, a non-resident, or need a construction loan.

I will provide you with the correct information and advice to help you make informed decisions about your future as a homeowner. I’ll work with you to ensure you have all the proper documents for a strong and organized application. I’ve also built strong relationships with many lenders over the years, so I can guide you to those most likely to approve you based on your profile and needs.

If you’re a first-time homebuyer, making the most of your investment with your mortgage is likely crucial to you — I get it! I will evaluate your unique financial situation and help you find an option tailored specifically to you.

You may also be eligible for tax credits and other incentives in Canada. I’m here to ensure you take advantage of these potential savings so that you can use your money to build your quality of life and enjoy your time as a new homeowner.

I understand that life can throw unexpected challenges your way, and sometimes, this can impact your credit score. Qualifying for a mortgage on your own with bad credit can take a lot of work. But this doesn’t mean you can’t get one. With years of experience working with people from all walks of life, I offer a judgement-free zone so we can focus on what matters the most: getting you approved. Let me do the heavy lifting to find suitable lenders, so you don’t have to jump through hoops to settle into the home you deserve.
