How can we beat the major banks and the well advertised Barrie mortgage brokers?


It’s simple, our overhead is embarrassingly low. We don’t have an army of administrative staff on hand or sky scrapers to construct.

Why Use An Barrie Mortgage Broker?


  1. SAVINGS – An Barrie mortgage broker has access to many more lenders then the well known banks and credit unions ensuring that you DO get the best rate possible.
  2. CONVENIENCE – Obtaining a mortgage through me is quick, easy and convenient. I have the flexibility to work around your schedule. Most of the work can often take place over the phone or through email.
  3. STRESS FREE – There is no need to negotiate. I will give you the lowest rate EVERY TIME.
  4. COST – My service is free of charge to most consumers. Charges may apply when the borrower has bad credit or has an extremely high debt to equity ratio. A simple rule of thumb would be if every bank and credit union in Canada turns you down, there may be a fee.
  5. ECONOMY OF SCALE – When dealing with a bank, a mortgage broker will often be able to get a much lower rate than the lowest rate offered to the consumer.
  6. ETHICS AND INTEGRITY – As an Ontario mortgage agent I am licensed by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO.GOV.ON.CA) and a member of the Canadian Association Of Accredited Mortgage Professionals (CAAMP.ORG), the lending officer at your bank is not. My license and membership can be confirmed at the links below.

  7. NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST – As an Barrie mortgage agent I provide a service. The service I offer is to find you the lender with the lowest interest rate, to provide you with flexible mortgage options and to provide unbiased answers to your questions. The mortgage officer at your bank is there to sell you their employer’s product.

An abundance of parkland, totalling over 90 parks, comprising in excess of 300 ha. are scattered throughout the city. Several of these parks line beautiful Kempenfelt Bay with extensive biking, roller blading and walking trails. Cultural attractions include the renowned Gryphon Theatre, and international concert and performance venue at the Barrie Molson Centre, a 4,200 seat multi-purpose entertainment facility, and the MacLaren Art Centre.


A $120 Million, health care facility was constructed in 1997 adjacent to Georgian College. The location provides easy access for those in need of its services. The hospital provides 297 acute care beds and 270 operational beds. The hospital location adjacent to the college provides a unique opportunity for cooperative training, research and clinical trials, unequaled in North America.


The City is home to a 40,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art public library, located in Downtown Barrie at the junction of Worsley and Owen Street.

Barrie City Planning Initiatives


In response to Council direction to study Intensification as a means of accommodated anticipated population growth, and the release of ‘The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe’, the City of Barrie is initiating an intensification strategy to encourage growth through increased residential density and mixed use development.


The Planning Department has prepared a study which recommends appropriate areas and policies to guide intensification initiatives through-out the City. The strategy, approved in principle by Council on November 3, 2008, establishes four (4) principle areas where intensification is promoted:


  • The Urban Growth Centre (UGC) comprised of the historic neighbourhoods of downtown Barrie and Allandale Centre;
  • Intensification Corridors consisting of arterial roads radiating from the UGC to Hwy. No. 400;
  • Intensification Nodes at significant intersections along the designated corridors; and
  • The Major Transit Station Area designated by the GO train station at Yonge St. and Mapleview Ave.


A more dense population can better support neighbourhood facilities in locations that encourage walking and are easily accessible by transit. Reducing our reliance on automobiles benefits the environment, and will ultimately create a more social and cooperative atmosphere for residents. The importance of good urban design and minimizing impacts on existing neighbourhoods is key to the success of intensification projects.
