Meet True North Mortgage
True North Mortgage Inc. is a national mortgage brokerage founded in 1999 by Dan Eisner. Eisner opened the first retail store in downtown Calgary in 2006 and built the company into a chain of mortgage stores across Canada.
The brokerage pays its mortgage specialists a salary rather than commission. Because the company works with many lenders, it can shop a deal across multiple banks and lenders instead of selling one in-house product.
In 2016 True North created THINK Financial, an in-house lender approved by CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the federal housing agency). The company says it has funded more than $33 billion in mortgages since 2006.
In BC, the company runs a store in Burnaby at Metropolis at Metrotown, which is the closest True North location to Vancouver. Clients can also work with the brokerage online, by phone, and by chat.
Credentials
Why work with True North
01
Works with many lenders
Because True North is a brokerage, it can compare a multiplex purchase or refinance across multiple banks and lenders rather than offering a single in-house product.
02
Salaried specialists
Mortgage specialists earn a salary, not commission. That removes the pressure to push a bigger loan than a project needs.
03
In-house lender for harder files
THINK Financial, the company’s CMHC-approved in-house lender, and its alternative and private lending options can help when a file does not fit standard bank rules.
