Sea-to-Sky

Mortgage broker for Whistler.

Whistler is a specialty market — Phase 1 vs Phase 2 zoning, short-term-rental income, second-home structuring, and international buyers all live here. Generic mortgage advice doesn't work.

The Whistler market

Whistler properties fall into very different lender buckets depending on Phase 1 / Phase 2 classification, owner-use restrictions, and short-term-rental rights. Most files are uninsured second homes funded against equity in a Lower Mainland or out-of-province primary residence. International and out-of-country buyers are common and need brokers who know which lenders accept foreign income for recreational property.

Files we close in Whistler

  • Phase 1 and Phase 2 condo purchases with STR income underwriting
  • Second-home detached and townhouse bridged off Lower Mainland equity
  • International / foreign-income buyers on recreational property
  • Private bridging for new-construction completions and assignments

Why us in Whistler

We know the lender list for Phase 2, for STR income, and for foreign buyers — three things most Lower Mainland brokers don't see often enough to underwrite confidently. Whistler files need that specificity.

Whistler mortgage FAQ

Can you finance a Whistler condo with Phase 1 vs Phase 2 covenant?+

Yes — and the covenant type drives everything. Phase 2 covenants restrict personal-use nights and most banks won't finance them at all. We work with the small group of lenders that lend on Phase 2 and structure the file around rental-pool income.

Do you arrange financing for Whistler revenue / nightly-rental properties?+

Regularly. Creekside, Whistler Village and Blackcomb Benchlands rental-pool units need lenders that count nightly-rental income properly. We use DCR-based underwriting instead of personal-income ratios.

What about non-resident or US buyer financing in Whistler?+

Yes — Whistler is one of the few BC markets where non-resident purchases are still common. We arrange financing through programs that work with foreign income, US tax returns and structured down payments.
