Mortgage broker serving Fernie.
Fernie is a recreational specialty market — ski-in/ski-out condo, second-home detached, and STR-driven investor activity. Generic mortgage advice doesn't work here.
Most Fernie files are second homes funded against Alberta or BC primary-residence equity, with STR income increasingly used to qualify. Ski-area strata buildings have specific lender restrictions, and recreational zoning can disqualify mainstream lenders altogether.

Fernie mortgage FAQ
Can you finance Fernie Alpine Resort condos and recreational property?+
Yes. Fernie Alpine Resort is recreational/short-term-rental zoned and declined by most banks. We work with the small group of lenders that lend on ski-resort property and rental-pool income.
Do you handle Fernie heritage downtown and historic character homes?+
Regularly. Downtown Fernie has heritage stock with older construction features. We use lenders that handle heritage designation and don't auto-decline older builds.
What about US and Alberta-resident buyers in Fernie?+
Common. Fernie has a heavy out-of-province and US buyer base. We arrange financing through programs that work with foreign income and non-resident structures.
Do you arrange private and second mortgages in Fernie?+
Yes. When a bank declines — bruised credit, unreported income, a tight ratio, a tax-arrears situation, or a property the A-lenders won't touch — we place private 1st and 2nd mortgages in Fernie through MICs and individual investors we've worked with for years. Typical terms are 6–24 months, interest-only, with a clear exit plan back to an A or B lender. We quote the all-in cost up front (rate + lender fee + broker fee + legal) so there are no surprises, and we don't write a private deal unless the exit is realistic.
