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!

LEARN MORE ABOUT MORTGAGES

Parental Leave

By Tyler Trompetter • November 7, 2024
Chances are if the title of this article piqued your interest enough to get you here, your family is probably growing. Congratulations! If you’ve thought now is the time to find a new property to accommodate your growing family, but you’re unsure how your parental leave will impact your ability to get a mortgage, you’ve come to the right place! Here’s how it works. When you work with an independent mortgage professional, it won’t be a problem to qualify your income on a mortgage application while on parental leave, as long as you have documentation proving that you have guaranteed employment when you return to work. A word of caution, if you walk into your local bank to look for a mortgage and you disclose that you’re currently collecting parental leave, there’s a chance they’ll only allow you to use that income to qualify. This reduction in income isn’t ideal because at 55% of your previous income up to $595/week, you won’t be eligible to borrow as much, limiting your options. The advantage of working with an independent mortgage professional is choice. You have a choice between lenders and mortgage products, including lenders who use 100% of your return-to-work income. To qualify, you’ll need an employment letter from your current employer that states the following: Your employer’s name preferably on the company letterhead Your position Your initial start date to ensure you’ve passed any probationary period Your scheduled return to work date Your guaranteed salary For a lender to feel confident about your ability to cover your mortgage payments, they want to see that you have a position waiting for you once your parental leave is over. You might also be required to provide a history of your income for the past couple of years, but that is typical of mortgage financing. Whether you intend to return to work after your parental leave is over or not, once the mortgage is in place, what you decide to do is entirely up to you. Mortgage qualification requires only that you have a position waiting for you. If you have any questions about this or anything else mortgage-related, please connect anytime. It would be a pleasure to work with you.

Deposit Lending And Bridge Financing

By Tyler Trompetter • October 24, 2024
Let’s say you have a home that you’ve outgrown; it’s time to make a move to something better suited to your needs and lifestyle. You have no desire to keep two properties, so selling your existing home and moving into something new (to you) is the best idea. Ideally, when planning out how that looks, most people want to take possession of the new house before moving out of the old one. Not only does this make moving your stuff more manageable, but it also allows you to make the new home a little more “you” by painting or completing some minor renovations before moving in. But what if you need the money from the sale of your existing home to come up with the downpayment for your next home? This situation is where bridge financing comes in. Bridge financing allows you to bridge the financial gap between the firm sale of your current home and the purchase of your new home. Bridge financing allows you to access some of the equity in your existing property and use it for the downpayment on the property you are buying. So now let’s also say that it’s a very competitive housing market where you’re looking to buy. Chances are you’ll want to make the best offer you can and include a significant deposit. If you don’t have immediate access to the cash in your bank account, but you do have equity in your home, a deposit loan allows you to make a very strong offer when negotiating the terms of purchasing your new home. Now, to secure bridge financing and/or a deposit loan, you must have a firm sale on your existing home. If you don’t have a firm sale on your home, you won’t get the bridge financing or deposit loan because there is no concrete way for a lender to calculate how much equity you have available. A firm sale is the key to securing bridge financing and a deposit loan. So if you’d like to know more about bridge financing, deposit loans, or anything else mortgage-related, please connect anytime! It would be a pleasure to work with you.

New 2025 Program Allows Homeowners to Refinance Up to 90% for Secondary Suites: What You Need to Know

By Tyler Trompetter • October 18, 2024
On October 8, 2024, the government announced a new program that will take effect on January 15, 2025, allowing homeowners to refinance up to 90% of their home’s value to create secondary suites. This is a significant increase from the current refinancing limit of 80%. The program aims to provide homeowners with more flexibility to unlock their home equity and add additional legal units like basement suites or laneway homes, provided they meet municipal zoning requirements and are not used for short-term rentals. The program comes with specific guidelines, outlined by CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation), that include: Eligibility: Homeowners must already own their property, live in one of the existing units, and plan to add additional fully self-contained suites. Refinancing Details: Homeowners can refinance up to 90% of the property's value, including the value added by the new units. The maximum property value, once the new units are built, must not exceed $2 million. Loan Parameters: The loan-to-value limit will be 90%, and the maximum amortization period is 30 years. Any additional financing must not exceed project costs. To give an example, under this new program, if a home is valued at $800,000, homeowners could now refinance up to $720,000 for building a secondary suite—$80,000 more than the previous limit of $640,000. This program could be particularly beneficial for homeowners who have recently purchased their property and built up a moderate amount of equity, offering them an opportunity to create an income-generating suite or expand their home without needing to sell. As housing affordability continues to be a pressing issue in many parts of Canada, adding secondary suites could also contribute to easing the rental supply shortage. While this program represents a significant step forward in unlocking home equity for homeowners, we are still awaiting specific guidelines from lenders. These rules will clarify how lenders will approach refinancing applications under this program. Stay tuned for further updates as more information becomes available from financial institutions. This program is expected to spark significant interest, particularly from younger homeowners or those with growing families, as it offers a pathway to enhance both living space and long-term financial stability. Homeowners looking to leverage this new opportunity should consult with mortgage experts to fully understand the potential benefits and ensure they are making informed decisions. If you're interested in how this program could benefit you or want to explore refinancing options to add a secondary suite, get in touch with a mortgage professional today.
