Slater Mortgages
There are generally two ways to get a mortgage in Canada:
- From a bank
- From a licensed mortgage professional
While a bank only offers the products from their particular institution, licensed mortgage professionals send millions of dollars in mortgage business each year to Canada’s largest banks, credit unions, trust companies, and financial institutions; offering their clients more choice, and access to hundreds of mortgage products! As a result, clients benefit from the trust, confidence, and security of knowing they are getting the best mortgage for their needs.

We met Mr. Mike Slater through our realtor and couldn't have been happier. As this is Covid times we have never met in... person but this didn't slow his dedication to finding us the best deal out there. Not only did Mike live up to our high expectations of professionalism and attentiveness, he truly took the time with us to make sure we had explored all the financing options available. Mike is a caring individual who has his client’s best interests at heart. He's very kind, polite and was always cheery on the phone. Always positive. Our situation was fairly unique and challenging but he remained positive and was able to secure a fantastic mortgage for us. Mike’s knowledge and experience was outstanding. We cannot thank Mike enough for always taking our calls and emails day or night and for helping us with our mortgage financing. We truly wouldn't have been able to make this purchase without him . We know this sounds like a glowing cheesy review but if anything its understated. Thanks Mike for everything and you'll be our go to financing guy for life!!!Jason and Eliseread more
