Mortgages in Ottawa, done properly
Ottawa's market has its own rhythm. Federal employment brings steady, reliable income profiles that lenders like, while military and RCMP relocations mean tight timelines and unique posting-cycle pressures.

Renewals are a particular focus here: too many Ottawa homeowners sign their bank's first offer without a second look.
