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!

Alternative lending refers to any lending practices that fall outside the normal banking channels. Alternative lenders think outside the box and offer solutions to Canadians who wouldn’t otherwise qualify for traditional mortgage financing. In an ideal world, we’d all qualify for the best mortgage terms available. However, this isn’t the case. Securing the most favourable terms depends on your financial situation. Here are a few circumstances where alternative lending might make sense for you. Damaged Credit Bad credit doesn’t disqualify you from mortgage financing. Many alternative lenders look at the strength of your employment, income, and your downpayment or equity to offer you mortgage financing. Credit is important, but it’s not everything, especially if there is a reasonable explanation for the damaged credit. When dealing with alternative lending, the interest rates will be a little higher than traditional mortgage financing. But if the choice is between buying a property or not, or getting a mortgage or not, having options is a good thing. Alternative lenders provide you with mortgage options. That’s what they do best. So, if you have damaged credit, consider using an alternative lender to provide you with a short-term mortgage option. This will give you time to establish better credit and secure a mortgage with more favourable terms. Use an alternative lender to bridge that gap! Self-Employment If you run your own business, you most likely have considerable write-offs that make sense for tax planning reasons but don’t do so much for your verifiable income. Traditional lenders want to see verifiable income; alternative lenders can be considerably more understanding and offer competitive products. As interest rates on alternative lending aren’t that far from traditional lending, alternative lending has become the home for most serious self-employed Canadians. While you might pay a little more in interest, oftentimes, that money is saved through corporate structuring and efficient tax planning. Non-traditional income Welcome to the new frontier of earning an income. If you make money through non-traditional employment like Airbnb, tips, commissions, Uber, or Uber eats, alternative lending is more likely to be flexible to your needs. Most traditional lenders want to see a minimum of two years of established income before considering income on a mortgage application. Not always so with alternative lenders, depending on the strength of your overall application. Expanded Debt-Service Ratios With the government stress test significantly lessening Canadians' ability to borrow, the alternative lender channel allows expanded debt-service ratios. This can help finance the more expensive and suitable property for responsible individuals. Traditional lending restricts your GDS and TDS ratios to 35/42 or 39/44, depending on your credit score. However, alternative lenders, depending on the loan-to-value ratio, can be considerably more flexible. The more money you have as a downpayment, the more you’re able to borrow and expand those debt-service guidelines. It’s not the wild west, but it’s certainly more flexible. Connect anytime Alternative lending can be a great solution if your financial situation isn’t all that straightforward. The goal of alternative lending is to provide you with options. You can only access alternative lending through the mortgage broker channel. Please connect anytime if you’d like to discuss mortgage financing and what alternative lending products might suit your needs; it would be a pleasure to work with you.

If you need a mortgage, working with an independent mortgage professional will save you money and provide you with better options than dealing with a single financial institution. And if that is the only sentence you read in this entire article, you already know all you need to know. However, if you’d like to dig a little deeper, here are some reasons that outline why working with an independent mortgage professional is in your best interest. The best mortgage is the one that costs you the least over the long term. An independent mortgage professional can help you achieve this. Mortgages aren’t created equally. Oftentimes slick marketing leads us to believe the lowest “sticker price” is the best value. So when it comes to mortgage financing, you might assume the mortgage with the lowest rate is the best option. This isn’t always the case. When considering a mortgage, your goal should be to find the mortgage that will cost you the least amount of money over the total length of the mortgage. There are many factors to consider, such as your specific financial situation, the rate, initial term length, fixed or variable rate structure, amortization, and the penalties incurred should you need to break your mortgage early; the fine print matters. An independent mortgage professional can walk through all these factors with you and will help you find the mortgage that best suits your needs. Sometimes taking a mortgage with a slightly higher rate can make sense if it gives you flexibility down the line or helps you avoid huge payout penalties. Working the numbers with an independent mortgage professional will save you money in the long run instead of just going with what a single lender is offering. Save time by letting an independent mortgage professional find the best mortgage product for you. Let's face it, getting a mortgage can be challenging enough on its own. Everyone’s financial situation is a little different and making sense of lender guidelines is a full-time job in itself. So instead of dealing with multiple lending institutions on your own, when you work with an independent mortgage professional, you submit a single mortgage application that is compared to the lending guidelines of various mortgage lenders. This will save you time as you don’t have to go from bank to bank to ensure you’re getting the best mortgage. Simply put, an independent mortgage professional works for you and has your best interest in mind, while a bank specialist works for the bank and has the bank's best interest in mind. It’s no secret that Canadian banks make a lot of money. It seems every quarter they turn billions of dollars in profit (despite the economic environment). They do this at the expense of their customers by charging as much interest as they can and structuring mortgages to their benefit. It’s all about the alignment of interest. Bank employees work for the bank; the bank pays them to make money for the bank. In contrast, independent mortgage professionals are provincially licensed to work for their clients and are paid a standardized placement or finder’s fee for matching borrowers with lenders. When you work with a single bank, you only have access to the products of that bank. When you work with an independent mortgage professional, you have access to all of the lenders that mortgage professionals have relationships with and all their products. Working with an independent mortgage professional will save you money, time, and provide you with better mortgage options. Plus, you have the added benefit of working with a licensed professional looking out for your best interest, providing you with the best possible advice.

Chances are, buying a home is one of the most important financial decisions you’ll make in your life. And as mortgage financing can be somewhat confusing at the best of times, to alleviate some of the stress and to ensure your home purchase goes as smoothly as possible, here are six very high-level steps you should follow. While it might seem like the best place to start the home buying process is to browse MLS on your phone and then contact a Realtor to go out and look at properties, it’s not. First, you’re going to want to work with a licensed independent mortgage professional. When you work with an independent mortgage professional, instead of working with a single bank, you’ll be working with someone who has your best interest in mind and can present you with mortgage options from several financial institutions. The second step in the home buying process is to put together a mortgage plan. Unless you have enough money in the bank to buy a home with cash, you’re going to need a mortgage. And as mortgage financing can be challenging and not so straightforward, the best time to start planning for a mortgage is right now. Don’t make another move until you discuss your financial situation with an independent mortgage professional. It’s never too early to start planning. As part of your mortgage plan, you’ll want to figure out what you can afford on paper, assess your credit score, run some financial scenarios, calculate mortgage payments, and have a clear picture of exactly how much money is required for a downpayment and closing costs. You’ll also be able to discuss which mortgage product is best for you, considering different mortgage terms, types, amortizations, and features. Now, what you qualify to borrow on paper doesn’t necessarily mean you can actually afford the payments in real life. You need to consider your lifestyle and what you spend your money on. Understanding your cash flow is the key. Make a budget to verify you can actually afford your proposed mortgage payments and that you have enough funds to close on the mortgage. No one wants to be house-poor or left scrambling to come up with funds to close at the last minute. If everything looks good at this point, the next step will be to get a preapproval in place. Now, a pre-approval is more than just typing some numbers into a form or online calculator; you need to complete a mortgage application and submit all the documents requested by your mortgage professional. Only proceed with looking at properties when you’ve been given the green light from your mortgage professional. When you’ve found a property to purchase, you’ll work very closely with your mortgage professional to arrange mortgage financing in a short period of time. This is where being prepared pays off. As you’ve already collected and submitted many documents upfront during the preapproval process, you should be set up for success. However, remain flexible and provide any additional documentation required by the lender to secure mortgage financing. Once you have firm lender approval and you’ve removed conditions on the purchase agreement, don’t change anything about your financial situation until you have the keys. Don’t quit your job, don’t take out a new loan, or don’t make a large withdrawal from your bank account. Put your life into a holding pattern until you take possession of your new home. So there you have it, six steps to ensuring a smooth home purchase: Work with an independent mortgage professional. Put together a mortgage plan. Figure out what you can actually afford. Get a pre-approval. Provide the necessary documentation. Don’t change anything about your financial situation until you take possession. If you’d like to discuss your personal financial situation and find the best mortgage product for you, let’s work together. We can figure out a plan to buy a home as stress-free as possible.
