Choosing a brokerage

Which Ontario mortgage brokerage should you join?

Every brokerage advertising for mortgage agents right now will tell you they have great training and a great split. The difference shows up in the details: what comes out of your cheque, who sits with you on your first files, and how fast you get paid. Here is an honest way to compare — including us.
