TYLER TROMPETTER

Mortgage Professional

I’m Tyler Trompetter, a true Mortgage Professional with over a decade of experience in helping homeowners with their Mortgage needs. I began my career working at one of Canada’s largest banks, an invaluable experience that taught me the entire mortgage process from start to finish. The Canadian Mortgage market is constantly changing; transitioning from Banker to Broker has helped me to navigate these constant changes to better serve my clients.

I've built my career on helping Canadians get mortgage financing when their bank simply turned them down or perhaps did not provide the service they deserved. Be it the Self-Employed, New to Canada, First Time Home Buyer, Experienced Investor or Credit Challenged clientele, I've always found a way to say 'Yes' when the banks say 'No'.

As a Mortgage Broker I work to educate, advise, and empower clients throughout the (sometimes!) challenging journey that is mortgage financing. My lender access, product acumen, and industry experience help to tailor custom mortgage solutions to even the most challenging of cases.


In 2020 I was awarded as one of Canadian Mortgage Professionals Rising Stars for 2020 (Previously the "Young Guns" award).


If I'm not busy helping people with their mortgages you'll find me adventuring outside, travelling or working with the Live Like Ben Foundation. Read more about our community projects at livelikeben.net.


Steps in the process...

STEP ONE
Start the conversation. 

The best place to start is to connect with me directly. The mortgage process is personal, and it can be daunting. My commitment to you is that I'll listen to all your needs, assess your financial situation, and provide you with a plan to move forward. 

STEP TWO
Choose the best option. 

Once we’ve had a look at your financial situation, we’ll consider a variety of mortgage options, I’ll outline what documents are necessary to qualify for a mortgage, negotiate with the lenders on your behalf, and arrange the mortgage that best suits your needs.

STEP THREE
Sit back and relax. 

Once we’ve arranged the mortgage product that best suits your needs, you’re not alone. I’m your mortgage professional for life. If you’ve got questions in the years to come, I’m always available to make sure that your mortgage is working for you, and not the other way around!

LENDERS

I've developed excellent relationships with many lenders across the country. 

Let's figure out which one has the best product for you. 

SERVICES

With over 40 lenders (and counting) in my database, finding a tailored fit mortgage solution that suits your needs is my main goal. Working with a Mortgage Broker can not only save you money and stress, but perhaps most importantly - time. Searching for the right mortgage can be exhausting. Enlisting the professional services of a licensed Mortgage Broker can take out all of the guess work of finding the right mortgage for you. 

Buying a Home

When preparing for the largest financial decision of your life you want to be sure to have all options available to you. Working with a Mortgage Broker with access to over 40 different lenders ensures you have all the cards on the table to make the best decision to fit your needs. 

Be your first time or your tenth, buying a home can be a challenging process. Enlisting the services of a mortgage professional will make the process seamless and efficient. Give me a call to find out how I can help you shop with confidence.


Refinancing

Want to put your hard earned home equity to work? Perhaps you want to consolidate some of your high interest debt, buy an investment or vacation property, invest in a business, or renovate your home.. whatever the reason lets chat about how we can put some of the equity you've earned in your home to work. 

Mortgage rates are still attractive and with such large gains in home values over the years there may be more money in your home than you realize.

First Time Home Buyers

First time buyer? This process can be confusing, scary, and downright emotional at times - but it doesn't have to be. 

If you find yourself wondering how much can I afford? How much do I need to put down? How does my credit score effect my purchasing power? Feel free to reach out and let me help walk you through the process of pre-approval to home ownership. Often times a 20 minute chat can help to answer all of your questions or concerns.

Self-Employed

Self Employed? Me too. ​

This segment of the mortgage market has undergone some drastic changes over the years, and while it can sometimes feel like the banks discriminate against your income, I work with a number of lenders that have programs designed with your income structure in mind.

 

Whether you are a sole proprietor, or you use a corporation to reduce your income or taxes I specialize in working with business owners and professionals whose income isn't so black and white. 

Home Equity Loans

Have you realized significant appreciation in the value of your home and are looking at tapping into that equity? There are a number of "Low Document" products available out there that can get you quick and seamless access to your equity for whatever your personal goals may be.

 

Be wary of TV and radio advertising in this space as there are almost always more favourable terms given to mortgage professionals with the right lender access.


Troubled Credit

I operate under total confidentiality, no matter your situation. I am, for lack of a better term, "the vault" when it comes to your personal financial history. Life happens, and this shouldn't prevent you from owning a home or getting the help you need to get out of a tough situation. I work with my clients to get their credit back on track be it through a refinance, setting up pre-paid credit card to rebuild credit, or through credit coaching. No matter the situation, there is almost always a solution to explore.

TESTIMONIALS

I just purchased my first home and so I needed ALOT of hand holding when it comes to mortgages. Tyler went above an beyond to make sure I understood what I was getting into, basically giving me a crash course on the topic. On top of that, he hunted around until the last min to make sure I got the best possible rate. Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly.

Highly recommend and will come back next time I need a mortgage or refinance.

He is the absolute number one & BEST mortgage broker in BC Canada! He helped us with our first time home purchase this year. Honestly speaking, I never though I'd be able to get the mortgage approval from a major bank -- However with his magic I got not only an OK from the A Bank but also with the best rate I could get!

Tyler really went above and beyond more than one occasions and this made me feel supported.. also, he was super responsive even I asked him a dumb question and explain it to me until I fully understand. Even now, he always ends his email with 'If you ever had any questions feel free to reach out!' which represents he's such a responsible person and provides an excellent customer services...

If you ever have a chance to work with him, you will know. He will makes everything possible and you will be pleased to work with him. :) We love our home and lots of that is thanks to Tyler! Cheers!

Tyler made the process of buying our first home so much easier. His advice and knowledge made us feel comfortable with the process. He is so nice and truly does go above and beyond for his clients. He was always easy to get ahold of and quick to respond to any questions we had. When we buy our next place in the future, we will definitely be using Tyler again. I have no problem recommending him to all my friends and family!

Thanks so much Tyler for your hard work, we really really appreciate it! :)

Tyler is unreal! I worked in Real Estate for over 8 years and by far this guy is the best I have ever come across! We had a mess of a deal and he pulled though and got the deal done. He even helped the buyer of my property out when she was is a VERY bad position. He was the glue that held our deal together. No matter if I emailed him at 8 am or 11 pm he would always get back to me right away! One thing I admire the most about him is his honesty, he was always was upfront and clear and gave us good information.

Thank you Tyler for everything you did, we will continue to spread the word about how amazing you are! Without you we probably wouldn't have scored our dream home.

Tyler worked hard to get us financing for a new home purchase in a difficult market. And he found a way to let us keep our current home while we did renovations when our bank of 40 years said no.

Knowledgable, very nice, responsive and always working to get us a good deal. Definite recommend!

If you have a variable rate mortgage and recent economic news has you thinking about locking into a fixed rate, here’s what you can expect will happen. You can expect to pay a higher interest rate over the remainder of your term, while you could end up paying a significantly higher mortgage penalty should you need to break your mortgage before the end of your term. Now, each lender has a slightly different way that they handle the process of switching from a variable rate to a fixed rate. Still, it’s safe to say that regardless of which lender you’re with, you’ll end up paying more money in interest and potentially way more money down the line in mortgage penalties should you have to break your mortgage. Interest rates on fixed rate mortgages Fixed rate mortgages come with a higher interest rate than variable rate mortgages. If you’re a variable rate mortgage holder, this is one of the reasons you went variable in the first place; to secure the lower rate. The perception is that fixed rates are somewhat “safe” while variable rates are “uncertain.” And while it’s true that because the variable rate is tied to prime, it can increase (or decrease) within your term, there are controls in place to ensure that rates don’t take a roller coaster ride. The Bank of Canada has eight prescheduled rate announcements per year, where they rarely move more than 0.25% per announcement, making it impossible for your variable rate to double overnight. Penalties on fixed rate mortgages Each lender has a different way of calculating the cost to break a mortgage. However, generally speaking, breaking a variable rate mortgage will cost roughly three months of interest or approximately 0.5% of the total mortgage balance. While breaking a fixed rate mortgage could cost upwards of 4% of the total mortgage balance should you need to break it early and you’re required to pay an interest rate differential penalty. For example, on a $500k mortgage balance, the cost to break your variable rate would be roughly $2500, while the cost to break your fixed rate mortgage could be as high as $20,000, eight times more depending on the lender and how they calculate their interest rate differential penalty. The flexibility of a variable rate mortgage vs the cost of breaking a fixed rate mortgage is likely another reason you went with a variable rate in the first place. Breaking your mortgage contract Did you know that almost 60% of Canadians will break their current mortgage at an average of 38 months? And while you might have the best intention of staying with your existing mortgage for the remainder of your term, sometimes life happens, you need to make a change. Here’s is a list of potential reasons you might need to break your mortgage before the end of the term. Certainly worth reviewing before committing to a fixed rate mortgage. Sale of your property because of a job relocation. Purchase of a new home. Access equity from your home. Refinance your home to pay off consumer debt. Refinance your home to fund a new business. Because you got married, you combine assets and want to live together in a new property. Because you got divorced, you need to split up your assets and access the equity in your property Because you or someone close to you got sick Because you lost your job or because you got a new one You want to remove someone from the title. You want to pay off your mortgage before the maturity date. Essentially, locking your variable rate mortgage into a fixed rate is choosing to voluntarily pay more interest to the lender while giving up some of the flexibility should you need to break your mortgage. If you’d like to discuss this in greater detail, please connect anytime. It would be a pleasure to walk you through all your mortgage options and provide you with professional mortgage advice.

Credit. The ability of a customer to obtain goods or services before payment, based on the trust that you will make payments in the future. When you borrow money to buy a property, you’ll be required to prove that you have a good history of managing your credit. That is, making good on all your payments. But what exactly is a “good history of managing credit”? What are lenders looking at when they assess your credit report? If you’re new to managing your credit, an easy way to remember the minimum credit requirements for mortgage financing is the 2/2/2 rule. Two active trade lines established over a minimum period of two years, with a minimum limit of two thousand dollars, is what lenders are looking for. A trade line could be a credit card, an instalment loan, a car loan, or a line of credit; basically, anytime a lender extends credit to you. Your repayment history is kept on your credit report and generates a credit score. For a tradeline to be considered active, you must have used it for at least one month and then once every three months. To build a good credit history, both of your tradelines need to be used for at least two years. This history gives the lender confidence that you’ve established good credit habits over a decent length of time. Two thousand dollars is the bare minimum limit required on your trade lines. So if you have a credit card with a $1000 limit and a line of credit with a $2500 limit, you would be okay as your limit would be $3500. If you’re managing your credit well, chances are you will be offered a limit increase. It’s a good idea to take it. Mortgage Lenders want to know that you can handle borrowing money. Now, don’t confuse the limit with the balance. You don’t have to carry a balance on your trade lines for them to be considered active. To build credit, it’s best to use your tradelines but pay them off in full every month in the case of credit cards and make all your loan payments on time. A great way to use your credit is to pay your bills via direct withdrawal from your credit card, then set up a regular transfer from your bank account to pay off the credit card in full every month. Automation becomes your best friend. Just make sure you keep on top of your banking to ensure everything works as it should. Now, you might be thinking, what about my credit score, isn’t that important when talking about building a credit profile to secure a mortgage? Well, your credit score is important, but if you have two tradelines, reporting for two years, with a minimum limit of two thousand dollars, without missing any payments, your credit score will take care of itself, and you should have no worries. With that said, it never hurts to take a look at your credit every once and a while to ensure no errors are reported on your credit bureau. So, if you’re thinking about buying a property in the next couple of years and want to make sure that you have good enough credit to qualify, let’s talk. Connect anytime; it would be a pleasure to work with you and help you to understand better how your credit impacts mortgage qualification.
