The basics

What an Ontario mortgage broker does

A mortgage broker holds a licence from FSRA (Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario) to arrange mortgages on behalf of borrowers. Unlike a bank that can only offer its own products, a broker reviews your file across multiple lenders - banks, credit unions, B lenders, private lenders, and reverse mortgage providers - and identifies where your file is most likely to fit.
HB Mortgage Centre is based in Mississauga and holds FSRA Brokerage Licence #13449. Hardeep Batoo, FSRA Mortgage Broker Licence #M13002408, has been arranging mortgages for Ontario homeowners since 2006.

How it works

How we work with Ontario homeowners

  1. 01

  2. 02

    Lender matching

    We match your file to lenders whose criteria fit your specific situation - not just the lenders with the best advertised rates.

  3. 03

    Application

    One application, one credit pull. We present your file clearly to the right lenders.

  5. 05

    Closing and beyond

    We coordinate with lawyers, lenders, and appraisers through to funding. For alternative mortgages, we build the plan to refinance to a lower-cost option over time.

Why a broker

Broker access vs. going directly to a lender

A bank shows you its own products. A broker reviews your file across the full lender spectrum and identifies where your file is most likely to fit. For standard mortgages, this often means better rates or product options. For complex files - declined applications, credit challenges, private mortgages - the broker's lender relationships are often the only path forward.

HB Mortgage Centre has relationships across bank, B lender, private lender, and reverse mortgage tiers. We know which lenders will and won't accept specific file types - before your credit inquiry is spent.

One application to the right lender beats multiple applications to the wrong ones. We identify the right fit first.
