Saved 20 Thousand Dollars
John and Ellie were in a 5-Year fixed mortgage with a rate of 5.80%. By moving thier mortgage to a new lender at a lower rate, they saved $20,000 in 3 years even after paying the penalty! Plus there were no legal fees given the type of mortgage they were in. There is nothing I love more than saving clients and thier families money!
The good news is with the plummeting interest rates, I have been able to save many many families untold money. Yesterday we transferred a mortgage and saved the clients $4,000 again after they paid the penalty. That is nothing to sneeze at!
Find out how much you can save. Call me with your mortgage details, interest rate, remaining term, outstanding balance etc. and I can quickly let you know if moving your mortgage makes sense. Jared Dreyer, Independant Mortgage Professional 604 649-5991

Pay off the mortgage faster
Many homeowners are looking to pay off their
mortgage as quickly as possible. Below is a list "Pay-Off
Tips" to help you decrease your mortgage in an effective and consistant manner.
TIP #1: Increase your payment annually to the most you can afford. Most
lenders will allow you to reduce it again to the previous level if it turns out
to be too great a burden or your circumstances change.
TIP #2: Use your RRSP tax rebate to pay down your mortgage. Even if
you can only prepay annually, make sure these funds are reserved for the
purpose of applying to your mortgage. It can be one of those annual surprises that can really help reduce the principle.
TIP #3: Increase the frequency of your payments. Make accelerated bi-weekly payments to get a
"free" principal reduction equivalent to one full mortgage payment
every year — painlessly.
TIP #4: Round your payments up. By adding even a nominal amount of say, $10 per payment,
the amount of interest you are saving will be unbelievable, and the extra money
relatively painless to part with.
TIP #5: Pay a lump sum whenever possible. By decreasing the principal of
the mortgage, your payments will not be allocated as much to interest in the
future, thereby making you mortgage-free faster.
TIP #6: Keep payments the same when mortgage rates have fallen. If the
payment amount has not been a problem so far, then do not change it when rates fall. Keep the payment the same thus paying
down the principal faster.
TIP #7: Raise
payments in line with increased income. If your income increases, don't keep your mortgage
payments the same. Just pretend that your income did not increase and maintain
your usual lifestyle.
