Mortgage broker for Saanich.
Saanich is the largest municipality in Greater Victoria — sprawling family detached, ALR farmland in the peninsula, and steady move-up activity.
Saanich covers everything from urban Quadra and Cordova Bay detached to working farms in Central Saanich and acreage in the agricultural Saanich Peninsula. Many files involve hobby farms, secondary suites, or septic-and-well rural properties that mainstream lenders treat with extra caution.

Saanich mortgage FAQ
Can you finance Saanich Peninsula ALR and small-farm properties?+
Yes. North Saanich and Central Saanich ALR farmland (Deep Cove, Brentwood Bay, Saanichton) is routinely declined by urban banks. We use ag-friendly lenders that finance hobby farms and active operations.
Do you handle Cordova Bay and Broadmead detached homes?+
Regularly. Higher-end Cordova Bay and Broadmead files need jumbo-comfortable lenders that don't haircut the LTV at $1.5M+.
What about UVic-area rental investment properties?+
Common. Gordon Head and Cadboro Bay near UVic are heavy rental markets. We use lenders that count student-rental income (room-by-room or full-house lease) properly.
Do you arrange private and second mortgages in Saanich?+
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 Saanich 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.
Can you set up a reverse mortgage (CHIP / Equitable PATH) in Saanich?+
Yes. Saanich — especially Cordova Bay, Broadmead and Ten Mile Point — has a strong base of 55+ homeowners sitting on significant equity but qualifying poorly on income alone. We arrange CHIP Reverse Mortgage (HomeEquity Bank) and Equitable Bank's PATH Home Plan to draw tax-free funds with no monthly payments required. We model the long-term equity erosion honestly, compare it side-by-side with a HELOC, a standard refinance, or downsizing, and only recommend a reverse mortgage when it's genuinely the best fit — not the default.
Is Manulife One a good fit for Saanich homeowners?+
Often, yes. Saanich has a high concentration of dual-income professionals, business owners and investors carrying meaningful cash balances alongside the mortgage. Manulife One collapses your chequing, savings, mortgage and HELOC into one account, so every dollar sitting in cash offsets mortgage interest daily — frequently saving 5–7 years of amortization for clients with strong cash flow. The rate premium over a plain mortgage is real, so we model it against your actual deposit patterns before recommending it. If the math doesn't work we'll tell you, and we'll often pair it with a readvanceable structure instead.
