After years as a banker at CIBC and Scotiabank, I know how lenders price and approve mortgages — and I use that to your advantage. I'm not tied to any single bank; I compare Canada's leading lenders to find the rate and structure that actually fits your life.

I use my experience to get you a competitive mortgage offer — with full guidance and support throughout the process, from the first call to funding.

I recently worked with Alex at CIBC for my mortgage and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From our very first conversation, Alex was professional, patient, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to understand my situation, explained all the options clearly (without any pressure), and guided me through every step of the process. He found me a great rate, handled all the paperwork efficiently, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. Highly recommended — 5 stars

I had an excellent experience working with Alex Tsoy at CIBC. Refinancing was challenging with other banks, especially since we were under a tight time crunch, but Alex stepped in and made it happen. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to push the refinance through when it mattered most. Not only did he meet our deadline, but he also secured a much better rate than what I previously had. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a mortgage broker who genuinely advocates for his clients.

Frequently asked

Honest answers

What does working with you cost?

Advice and consultations are free. Once we start working on your file, compensation depends on the lender type that fits your situation: with banks and A-lenders, I'm paid by the lender at no cost to you. With B and alternative lenders, there are associated costs such as a lender fee and a broker fee — I disclose these upfront, before you commit to anything.

My renewal is coming up. Should I just sign the letter?

Please don't — at least not before a five-minute check. Renewal letters are often not the bank's most competitive offer. I re-shop 30+ lenders, run the penalty and break-cost math, and monitor your rate hold through to funding. If the letter holds up against the market, I'll tell you.

I'm self-employed or new to Canada. Can I still qualify?

Very often, yes. There are stated-income programs for business owners and contractors, and newcomer programs with flexible requirements for PR holders. Being declined by one bank doesn't mean being declined everywhere.

Is my information safe?

Yes. I'm a licensed mortgage agent regulated under FSRA and held to strict professional and disclosure standards. Your documents are handled with bank-level encryption and secure document handling — your personal information stays private.
