Level Up Your Mortgage Game With a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®)

Home ownership and the mortgage may be the biggest part of your financial picture, and can play a major role in helping you reach your financial goals. Get advice to reduce interest costs, save on taxes and build wealth faster. Keeping your mortgage approval in focus, we can discuss the following at your option:

How do I safely balance a great lifestyle and home ownership costs? Do I repay my mortgage faster, or save more for retirement? Will I have enough saved for retirement after my mortgage is paid off? Am I taking advantage of mortgage related income tax savings strategies? Get answers to such questions that apply to your unique situation, and ensure the best interest rate savings, consistently over the life of your mortgage.

Reducing income taxes substantially is possible for many, but requires longer term planning. Discussions can include making mortgage interest tax deductible, income splitting, pension/benefit optimization, RRSP, TFSA and other income tax savings strategies.

Optimizing wealth building strategies, even slightly, can have a major compounding effect over time. Conversations can include portfolio reviews and how to build wealth more effectively with ultra low investment management costs (under 0.20% Vs. the standard 2%). Discover some of the most simple but profitable investment strategies that the investment industry doesn't want you to know.

Get answers to your retirement questions including: How soon can I retire? How much savings will I need to retire? How much will I have to spend each month from various income streams? Our advice only financial planning approach provides objective, unbiased answers to such questions.

The are few certain things in life, except for death and taxes. The government already has an estate plan for you, but you probably won't like it... Speak for your assets, save on taxes, and probate fees. Conversations may include purchasing a property tenancy in common vs joint tenancy, what to add or remove from a will or power of attorney, if a trust makes sense and more.

Setbacks in life are inevitable. We hope the setbacks won’t be too big. But no matter what happens a good plan will have you covered.

When it comes to finance there are no guarantees. We talk in likelihoods and probability

Right now there’s higher market uncertainty and volatility, but here’s some reasonable likelihoods to consider:

- Kevin Warsh lowers 🇺🇸 rates more than markets expect

- ...Liquidity floods,

Limp 0.1% GDP growth in November 2025, and early estimates for flat growth in December were mostly priced into Bond Yields, keeping fixed mortgage rates on firm ground

We also expect the BoC and VRM to hold for 2026, barring a US trade negotiation breakdown

🚨BREAKING: As widely expected, the Bank of Canada holds its overnight rate at 2.25%

Markets are pricing a ~70% chance that the BoC and the variable rate mortgage have found their happy place for the rest of 2026, with bank prime at 4.45% and VRM 'prime minus' discounts at ~1%

Risk management is not the opposite of wealth building

It is what allows wealth to compound uninterrupted:

Invest consistently

Stay invested during volatility

Avoid forced sales

Unfortunately we’ll never know what was actually said on that call…

But it is interesting to hear the top American in finance arguing FOR US Canadian trade

What happened to ‘we don’t need Canada’?

🚨BREAKING

Scott Bessent says that Carney called Trump while he was in the oval office

and WALKED BACK much of his Davos speech

Canadians will never know the Canadian version of this, because the PMO doesn't actually release details like this.

The BoC meets this Wednesday, with an 87% chance of a hold

Amidst all the political noise, financial markets are relatively calm, with bond yields/fixed mortgage rates holding steady

We continue to see various lender specials pop up/down, causing the best rates to fluctuate

Here’s what’s happening between 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸 right now:

- In Davos, Carney took a page out of Trumps playbook: a strong, threatening posture

- Why? To focus attention from 🇺🇸 ahead of CUSMA negotiations. To bring the inevitable massive tariff threat to 🇨🇦... out of 🇺🇸 early

- Why?
