One of the frustrating parts of being a mortgage broker is providing time sensitive advice to people and they don't act soon enough. This tends to happen most frequently with mortgage renewals. Most lenders will guarantee financing for 4 months, however most people wait to the last minute and it costs them.A few weeks ago I was dealing with someone looking to renew their mortgage at maturity. I explained to them that rates are expected to rise very soon so it is in your best interest to finalize something now so we can guarantee your rate at maturity, about 2 months away. Unfortunately, they returned in a week and a half and interest rates had increased by 0.20%. With their mortgage balance at $450,000, procrastination cost them approximately $900 per year or $4,500 over a 5 year term. I don't know about you but I would have certainly liked to have had the savings for myself rather than put it in the lender's pocket.In the event rates go down in a situation like the one above then we can use the existing mortgage approval to leverage a reduction in rate either from the existing lender or an entirely new lender. Either way the borrower is covered.www.wecreatehappiness.ca ... See MoreSee Less

Unless you are a professional rider trying to get a great photo there is no reason to look back. This applies to your business and your personal life. What happened yesterday or last year can’t be changed and dwelling on what happened only takes time and focus away from what you are doing today.Focus forward and be happier.wecreatehappiness.ca ...
