Have questions before you apply?

Straight answers to the questions Frederick hears most. As of 2026 in Quebec, working with a licensed mortgage broker is typically free for you, with more rate options than a single bank branch.

How much does it cost to work with a mortgage broker?

In most cases mortgage broker services are free for you as the borrower. Frederick is compensated by the lender when your mortgage closes. You get access to competitive rates from multiple Canadian banks and lenders with no direct fees for standard residential mortgages in Quebec.

How long does mortgage approval take?

For a standard purchase or refinance, Frederick can typically deliver a pre-approval within 24 to 48 hours once your documents are received. Final approval and funding depend on the lender and property details, but most files close within 30 days of an accepted offer.

Which areas does Frederick serve?

Frederick is based in Quebec and serves clients across the province, including Montreal, Laval, Quebec City, Gatineau, and surrounding regions. He is affiliated with a national licensed brokerage that partners with lenders operating across Canada for residential mortgage financing.

What documents do I need to apply?

To start your application, Frederick usually needs proof of income (recent pay stubs and T4s or Notice of Assessment), a valid photo ID, recent bank statements, details of any existing debts, and property information if you already have a home under offer or a property to refinance.

Fixed or variable rate: which should I choose?

It depends on your risk tolerance, timeline, and budget. Fixed rates give payment certainty for the term, while variable rates have historically cost borrowers less but move with the Bank of Canada's policy rate. Frederick walks through both scenarios with real numbers so you can choose confidently for your situation.
