Working in Coquitlam
A Mortgage That Fits the Move You Are Making
Coquitlam covers more ground than people expect, and the financing conversation changes considerably depending on which part of it you are in. Burquitlam has filled with towers since the Evergreen extension opened. Westwood Plateau and Burke Mountain are family houses on hillsides. Maillardville still has its character homes and its own street pattern. A lender that is comfortable with one is not automatically comfortable with another.
The single most common file I see here is somebody moving up. A couple who bought a condo five or six years ago, now with a child, selling and buying a townhouse or a house further up the hill. That involves two closings, and unless the dates line up exactly it involves bridge financing to cover the gap. Arranged in advance it is routine. Arranged in the final week it is the most stressful part of the move.
The other recurring theme is income that does not arrive as a simple salary. Trades, consultants, small business owners and commission earners are well represented in Coquitlam, and lenders treat these files very differently from one another. Some read your tax returns literally, which penalizes anyone who legitimately writes down income; others will work from business deposits instead. Choosing correctly between them is often worth more than the rate difference people spend their time chasing. If that describes you, the self-employed mortgage options are worth reading.
I work from offices in Surrey and White Rock and handle Coquitlam files by phone, email and e-signature. If a renewal letter has just arrived, send it over before you sign — comparing it costs nothing, and the first offer is rarely the best one available. The renewal calculator will give you a sense of the difference.

How It Works
Five Steps, No Surprises
The order matters: we establish your real number before you fall in love with a listing.
-
A Conversation First
Twenty minutes on what you are trying to do and by when. Nothing is pulled, nothing is signed, and there is no cost.
-
The Real Number
Income, credit, debts and down payment assessed at the qualifying rate — the stress-test rate every lender must use, which sits above the rate you are actually offered. That is why the figure a lender will advance is lower than an online calculator suggests, and why the number you plan around should come from here.
-
Choosing the Structure
Fixed or variable, term length, prepayment privileges, and the penalty formula that applies if life changes mid-term. The penalty clause is worth more attention than most people give it.
-
To Market
One set of documents, sent to the lenders most likely to approve your file well. I negotiate rate and conditions rather than accepting the first quote.
-
Closing and After
Coordination with your notary or lawyer through to funding, then a check-in before renewal so the next term is shopped too.
What You Get
The Practical Difference
-
Offers that hold up
A pre-approval based on documents rather than estimates. It is still conditional on the property and the appraisal — no honest broker will tell you otherwise — but the part that depends on you is settled before you write an offer.
-
Both closings coordinated
If you are selling and buying, the dates and any bridge financing get planned together rather than patched at the last minute.
-
Penalty terms explained
Two mortgages at the same rate can differ by thousands if you break them early. You will know which one you are signing.
-
Free on standard deals
The funding lender pays the commission. If a file needs a fee-based solution, you get the number up front.

Common Questions
Coquitlam Mortgage Questions
I am selling in Coquitlam and buying at the same time. How does that work?
Your purchase usually completes before your sale funds, and bridge financing covers the gap. It is arranged with the same lender as your new mortgage and is straightforward when the sale is firm. What causes problems is leaving it until the week of completion, so tell me your dates as soon as both offers are accepted.
Does living on Burke Mountain or Westwood Plateau affect financing?
Not usually for a standard house on a standard lot. Where it can matter is larger or steeply sloped properties, homes on septic or well, and acreage near the edges of the city — those narrow the list of lenders and sometimes change the appraisal requirements. Send me the address and I will tell you if yours falls into that group.
Can I get a mortgage if I am self-employed?
Yes. It takes more documentation — typically two years of filed returns and notices of assessment, plus business records — and lenders vary widely in how they treat business income and write-offs. There are also lenders who work from bank-statement deposits rather than declared income, which suits some business owners considerably better.
How much down payment do I need?
For an owner-occupied home the minimum is 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the portion above that. Since December 2024 the insured-mortgage price cap has been $1.5 million, so above that figure a mortgage cannot be insured and 20% down is required. Below 20% the mortgage must be insured, and that premium is added to the balance rather than paid up front. Rental properties require 20%. Where the money comes from matters too — gifted funds and savings are documented differently.
Is a variable rate a good idea right now?
That depends on your tolerance for a payment that moves and on how long you plan to hold the mortgage, not on a prediction about rates. What I can do is show you both side by side with your actual numbers, including what each one costs to break early, so the choice is made on evidence rather than a guess.
My renewal is coming up. Is it worth switching lenders?
Often, but not always. Switching involves a little paperwork and sometimes small discharge costs, so the saving has to be real to justify it. Send me the renewal offer and I will compare it against what else is available and tell you honestly if your current lender is already competitive.
Do you charge Coquitlam clients a fee?
Not on standard residential mortgages — the lender pays the commission. Private or alternative lending can carry a fee, and you would be told the exact amount before any work started.
Which nearby areas do you also cover?
