Mortgage broker in Squamish.
Looking for a mortgage broker in Squamish? Squamish has gone from sleepy mill town to one of BC's hottest mortgage markets — Vancouver commuter detached, Garibaldi Highlands family stock, and a steady second-home flow from the Lower Mainland.
Squamish pricing has compressed against North Vancouver while inventory keeps turning over. Most files involve dual-income Vancouver commuters or remote workers, plus a meaningful slice of second-home buyers using equity from a Metro Van primary. Construction draws on new infill and small multi-family are common, and so are short-term rental income files that need the right lender. With values compressed against North Vancouver, refinances to unlock that appreciation are now some of our most common Squamish files.

Squamish mortgage FAQ
Can you finance Squamish new builds in Garibaldi Estates or University Highlands?+
Yes. Squamish has multiple ongoing detached and townhouse projects. We arrange new-build mortgages with rate holds out to 12 months and structure for completion delays that have been common in the corridor.
Do you mortgage acreage and recreational property around Squamish?+
Regularly. Upper Squamish Valley, Brackendale acreage and Paradise Valley properties are routinely declined by big banks for acreage size or rural servicing. We use lenders comfortable with well/septic and outbuildings.
What about self-employed trades and tourism operators in Squamish?+
Squamish has a high concentration of self-employed and seasonal income. Bank-statement and stated-income programs let you qualify on real cash flow instead of low-taxable-income T1s.
Do you arrange private and second mortgages in Squamish?+
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 Squamish 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 handle a separation or spousal buyout refinance in Squamish?+
Yes, and the structure matters. Squamish has a younger family demographic and we run spousal-buyout refinances regularly under the Sagen / Canada Guaranty Purchase Plus / Spousal Buyout program — which lets the staying spouse refinance up to 95% of the home's value (instead of the standard 80% refi cap) to pay out the leaving spouse. We need a signed separation agreement, an updated appraisal, and clean qualification on one income. We coordinate with your family lawyer on the timing so the title transfer, payout and new mortgage all fund the same day.
