Calgary is home to some incredible mortgage brokers and of course all of the major banks in Canada operate in the city, we are also very lucky to have other financial institutions locally, including ATB, First Calgary, Servus Credit Union, and others!
When it comes to selecting the right financial institution for your next (or first mortgage) the choice isn't so easy. Many clients of ours fall into the convenience trap, that's when they simply go to their bank and are matched with a financial advisor (Who is often not even a dedicated mortgage professional) and inquire on what they can get from the bank. Sure, your bank has your business and they should be incentivized to keep you in house, that doesn't mean you're always getting the best rates, and terms in your mortgage.
