About

Hi, I'm Alan.

Mortgage broker at Canadian Mortgage Products. Fourteen-plus years, no sales scripts, and a business built almost entirely on repeat clients and referrals.

Most mortgage advice arrives with a script and a follow-up sequence. That's never been how I've wanted to work. Whether you're buying your first home or your fifth investment property, the same thing matters most: real conversations, honest advice, and no pressure. That's what this site is about.

The work

What you'll find here

Writing about the mortgage decisions Canadians actually face — first-time buying, renewals, refinancing, investment properties, HELOCs, and the products behind them. Clear explanations, real examples, and the questions worth asking before you sign anything. Fourteen years of lender relationships and product knowledge distilled into practical guidance.

The reader

Who it's for

Canadians who want mortgage advice without the sales pitch. First-time buyers, seasoned homeowners, and real estate developers. People going through the process for the first time who want to feel prepared, and people who've done it before and want a better experience this time. No finance background needed.

The approach

Why "no sales script"

Because a script exists to sell you something. A conversation exists to figure out what actually fits. Most of my business comes from clients who came back, or from friends they sent — that's not an accident, that's what happens when you treat people the way you'd want to be treated. That's how I work with clients, and that's the standard I write to here.
