About MortgageStudio

What We Do

MortgageStudio makes it easy to find and compare alternative mortgage options in Canada, all in one place. We bring together a wide range of specialty lenders, so you can easily see their rates and features, especially if regular banks aren’t an option for you. It’s all about giving you the tools to choose what’s best for you.

Our Mission

The goal of MortgageStudio is to add transparency to Canada’s non-traditional mortgage industry.

The high cost of homes and increasingly strict regulation of traditional mortgage lenders are pushing more Canadians to private and ‘B’ lenders for financing. Alternative lenders play an important role, filling the gap when primary lenders aren’t able to help. And we know from first hand experience, there are a lot of fantastic alternative lenders that do their best to help borrowers with thoughtful and custom solutions instead.

But there’s a dark side. The industry is largely unregulated, opening the door for some unethical lenders and mortgage brokers to operate. Government officials urge homeowners to do their research before delving into the private space, but that’s easier said than done. There aren’t a lot of resources for you to research alternative mortgage options, and we believe the industry itself ultimately bears the responsibility to fix this issue.

This website is our attempt to solve this problem. But changing an industry like this isn’t easy and it won’t be quick. It’ll take the cooperation of lenders and feedback from people like you to make this website the resource Canadians deserve.
