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!

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.

The best place to start the mortgage process is with a pre-approval. But once you’ve been pre-approved for a mortgage and you’ve been shopping with location in mind, what happens when you can’t find a suitable property? There's no doubt about it; finding the perfect property within your price range is a difficult task, especially for first-time homebuyers. So, before buyer’s fatigue sets in, maybe you should consider adding the cost of renovations into your purchase. Buying a property and including the cost of renovations into the mortgage is available through a program called purchase plus improvements. When purchasing a home, you can add the cost of home upgrades into your mortgage, making it a great option if you can’t find something move-in ready and aren’t afraid to do a little work! But while this sounds simple enough, in all honestly, it’s quite the process. There are some pretty strict rules to follow, but nothing that you can’t handle with the guidance of an independent mortgage professional. Here’s a quick overview of the process. Firstly, you must provide quotes to the lender ahead of time for the work you would like to complete. It’s good to note that the renovations will have to increase the value of the property accordingly. From there, the lender doesn’t give you the money to do the upgrades; you have to come up with that yourself. However, once the work has been completed and verified by an appraiser, the lender will reimburse you and include the money in your mortgage. This program isn’t for everyone. Buying a home is a stressful endeavour in and of itself. The added stress of having to undertake renovations right away might not be a good idea. But then again, if you have the financial wherewithal to handle the cost of renovations and like the idea of making it yours from the start, then this might be just the option you’ve been looking for! Please connect directly; it would be a pleasure to walk through the exact process and outline what securing a purchase plus improvements would look like for you!

Refinancing your mortgage can be a smart financial move, but how do you know if it’s the right time? Whether you’re looking to lower your monthly payments, access home equity, or consolidate debt, refinancing can offer valuable benefits. Here are five key signs that it might be the right time to refinance your mortgage in Canada. 1. Interest Rates Have Dropped One of the most common reasons Canadians refinance is to secure a lower interest rate. Even a small decrease in your mortgage rate can lead to significant savings over time. If rates have dropped since you took out your mortgage, refinancing could help you reduce your monthly payments and save thousands in interest. ✅ Tip: Check with your mortgage broker to compare your current rate with today’s market rates. 2. Your Financial Situation Has Improved If your credit score has increased or your income has stabilized since you first got your mortgage, you might qualify for better loan terms. Lenders offer lower rates and better conditions to borrowers with strong financial profiles. ✅ Tip: If you’ve paid off debts, improved your credit score, or increased your savings, refinancing could work in your favour. 3. You Want to Consolidate High-Interest Debt Carrying high-interest debt from credit cards, personal loans, or lines of credit? Refinancing can help consolidate those debts into your mortgage at a much lower interest rate. This can make monthly payments more manageable and reduce the overall cost of borrowing. ✅ Tip: Make sure the savings from refinancing outweigh any prepayment penalties or fees. 4. You Need to Free Up Cash for a Major Expense Many Canadians refinance to access their home’s equity for renovations, education costs, or major life expenses. With home values rising in many areas, a refinance could help you tap into that value while still keeping manageable payments. ✅ Tip: Consider a home equity line of credit (HELOC) if you need flexible access to funds. 5. Your Mortgage Term is Ending, and You Want Better Terms If your mortgage is up for renewal, it’s the perfect time to explore refinancing options. Instead of simply accepting your lender’s renewal offer, compare rates and terms to see if you can get a better deal elsewhere. ✅ Tip: A mortgage broker can help you shop around and negotiate better terms on your behalf. Is Refinancing Right for You? Refinancing isn’t always the best move—there can be penalties for breaking your current mortgage, and not all savings are worth the switch. However, if you relate to any of the five signs above, it’s worth discussing your options with a mortgage professional. Thinking about refinancing? Let’s chat and find the best option for you!
