From First Step to Front Door.
Buying a home is a series of clear stages — and you never walk through them alone. Here is exactly what happens at each step of the mortgage process, so you always know what is next and what to have ready.
Your journey, step by step
Eight stages take you from first conversation to keys in hand. Paul guides and does the heavy lifting at every point along the way.
Prepare
We review your goals, budget and credit, and gather the documents you'll need. A little groundwork now makes everything that follows smoother.
Pre-Approval
Paul confirms a comfortable price range and holds a rate for you, so you can shop knowing exactly what you can afford.
Find a Home
Search with confidence within your approved budget. You and your realtor can move quickly when the right home appears.
Make an Offer
Your offer is structured with a financing condition, deposit and realistic timelines that protect you throughout.
Mortgage Approval
Paul matches you with the right lender and satisfies the conditions — income, down payment and appraisal — to firm up your financing.
Lawyer
Your lawyer reviews the mortgage documents and title, then prepares everything needed for a clean, on-time closing.
Closing Day
Funds are advanced to your lawyer, the purchase completes and the property officially changes hands.
Get the Keys
The home is yours. Paul stays in touch for renewals, reviews and any future moves, long after closing day.
These steps are typical and every file is different — timelines and requirements vary, and no step guarantees approval.
What to have ready
Gathering a few documents up front keeps your file moving. Here is what you bring — and everything Paul takes off your plate.
Documents checklist
Valid photo identification for each applicant.
Recent pay stubs, T4s, or notices of assessment for self-employed borrowers.
A recent letter of employment confirming role, salary and status.
Bank or investment statements showing your savings and any gifted funds.
The listing, purchase agreement and MLS information once you're offering.
