Mortgage broker for Richmond.
Richmond is a mortgage market unlike any other in Canada — exceptional commercial activity, dense investor condo flow, and one of the country's highest concentrations of newcomer and foreign-income buyers.
Most Richmond detached pricing is squarely in uninsured territory, which narrows the lender pool from the start. Add a buyer base where stated income, foreign income, and newcomer status are common rather than rare, and the result is a market where bank-branch policy fails constantly. Commercial activity along No. 3 Road and the airport corridor is heavy and benefits from broker-side commercial expertise.

Richmond mortgage FAQ
Do you finance Richmond buyers using foreign or limited Canadian income?+
Yes. Many Richmond files involve newcomers or returning residents with thin Canadian credit and overseas income. We have credit-union and B-lender programs that lend on global income, foreign tax returns, and limited Canadian credit — within the bounds of the federal foreign-buyer rules.
Can you mortgage older Richmond detached homes with potential settlement issues?+
Yes. Older Richmond detached (Steveston, Seafair, Broadmoor) can have foundation or settlement notes on inspection — Richmond's water-table is the cause. We have lenders that lend with a structural-engineer letter rather than declining outright.
What about Richmond high-rise condos in buildings with airbnb restrictions or large rental pools?+
Standard. Many central Richmond and Brighouse towers have heavy rental populations. We pre-clear the building with the lender (rental cap, owner-occupancy ratio) before submitting, so you don't get a late decline.
Do you do commercial mortgages for Richmond mixed-use buildings or strip retail?+
Yes — strip retail along No. 3, Westminster Highway and Bridgeport is a common file. We arrange commercial mortgages based on debt-service coverage from rent rolls, with both A-lender and credit-union programs depending on building age and tenant mix.
