How to Find a Mortgage Broker in Toronto
A Toronto broker who matches your file — not the other way around.
Every mortgage broker in Ontario is licensed by FSRA, but expertise, lender access, and niche focus vary widely. The right broker for a first-time buyer isn't necessarily the right broker for a self-employed investor or a private-mortgage exit. Here's what to look for and how this site connects you.

- Anyone choosing a Toronto mortgage broker for the first time

- Buyers with unusual files who need specialist access
- People referred by a realtor but wanting a second opinion
How a Toronto mortgage broker helps

Frequently asked questions
+How do I check if a Toronto broker is licensed?
Search the FSRA registry of mortgage brokers and agents. Every licensed broker has a public licence number.
+Does it cost money to use a broker?
On most A-lender residential deals, the lender pays the broker. Private and some alternative deals have a broker fee disclosed up front.
+Will a broker pull my credit right away?
A reputable broker discusses your file first and only pulls credit when there's a clear reason to.
+How is this site different from a bank's website?
We're independent. We connect you with a licensed Ontario broker who can shop the market, not a single lender's product shelf.
