Hi I'm Mark Norman
I’m Newfoundland's 2023-2024 Consumer Choice Award Winning Mortgage Broker & I’ve been a top mortgage broker for the last 20 years. I want to help you uncover a few secrets the bank doesn't want you to know.
What my clients say about me
Let's see if we can help you save some money on your next mortgage.
These days I'm getting more and more calls from homeowners who have had issues with their current banks and that usually involves them finding out about big breakage fees whether they’re selling their home or they’re looking to access some equity prior to the end of their term. There are 2 things we want to make clear.

Aaron
"The staff at blink mortgages are top notch! they helped us obtain a better rate then any other lenders in town. They were extremely helpful in answering any questions we had. As first time home buyers, Colton took the time to explain things to us... Thanks Colton!"
Kevin
"Dealing with Blink was awesome! Super easy interface to navigate, they quickly responded to all my questions, and helped me pick the best combination of factors - along with the best rate. 5/5, would borrow again!"
Dan
"(Blink) was always readily available to answer any questions we had, even after hours and on weekends. Greg took the time to explain different options to us, provide a market analysis, and evaluate the pros and cons associated with each mortgage..."
First... Let's Talk About the Penalties
Higher Penalty Calculation
The Banks start with their inflated "posted" rates...
You see, the way they calculate their penalties is using the much higher "posted" rate. The big banks start from their inflated "posted" rate, and when you negotiate your mortgage you usually receive a discount from this posted rate, which is usually around 2%, so that makes you feel pretty good, right?
Well, I've got news for you, if you're one of...
7 out of 10
Borrowers that end up having to pay these penalties in the first 5 years of home ownership
OR...
9 out 10
Borrowers that end up having to pay these penalties in the first 10 years of home ownership
You could be paying A LOT more than you need to...
Let me explain, in the event you need to break this mortgage for ANY reason they claw back the original discount they gave you and then base the penalty on the much higher rate, using the number of months remaining on your term to determine the amount you owe them.
We've seen these penalties have increased significantly over the past few years but I'm here to tell you that there are plenty of excellent lenders in Canada that do not calculate their penalties like this, and the difference in the savings is drastic.
It's not uncommon to see penalties that are well above $10,000 from any of the big banks, yet our non chartered bank lenders who's penalties are only a fraction of the costs.

If you're borrowing from any of the big banks, there's a good chance you are already facing a sizable mortgage penalty or you will in the future.

Ultra Low Rate Basic Products
Now these products look the same on the outside, and are sold as "the lowest rate possible", but when you get under the hood, you realize that...

If that's not bad enough, let's dive into the TIGHT RESTRICTIONS
Another way borrowers are getting the pinch is by
opting for "ultra low rate" basic products.
Ultra Low Rate Basic Products
Now these products look the same on the outside, and are sold as "the lowest rate possible", but when you get under the hood, you realize that...
In Exchange for
0.05 - 0.10%
Lower Interest Rate
You've traded
$5 - $10
per Month Savings for increased risk for a lot more costs and a lot less flexibility in the future.
What do I mean?
Increased Risk
These products have a tradeoff and what you get is decreased flexibility in the form or additional penalties ( which could be up to 3% of your balance owing).
and
Locked in at Renewal
There also can be a Bona Fide Sales Clause. This means you can not leave your current lender in the future unless you sell your home, this means that even upon the end of your 5 year term, you have no choice but to sign their next offer upon maturity, and that's when you find out that they don't have to be as competitive and you don't even have an option to shop for a better deal.
99%
of borrowers won't realize that either of these timebombs even exist until they go off is the worst part
There's More to a Mortgage than the Lowest Rate
The banks have conditioned us to believe the only question we should be asking is "what's the best rate?" and unless you have several follow up questions behind that one, most borrowers just don't know the additional questions to ask to see what's hidden in the details, and this makes home owners like yourselves very vulnerable to paying a lot more than you bargained for.
My goal as a mortgage broker is to help my clients make the best decision for their families to protect your home equity and keep as much as you can in your own pockets and pay much less to the banks. Sometimes you might have the best deal already and that's great, but wouldn't you want to know for sure if you actually do have the best deal possible, or is your current bank offering you one of these time bombs I've just mentioned?
It costs you NOTHING to find out for sure, please click the link below and book some time on my calendar and within a few minutes I'll let you know for sure if you have the best deal, or if there is a better offer out there in the market.
Nothing to lose, thousands to save, I look forward to speaking to you soon!
