For Your convenience, we've put together a list of other professionals who deal with real estate related matters. But, please note: This list is not intended to be a recommendation or referral. You must make your own inquiries before hiring any of the Individuals or Companies listed below. Because everyone's knowledge & experience is different, I've also included links in the right hand column to various consumer oriented sites - related to real esate. Mortgage Brokers: Not all mortgage brokers are the same. Mortgage Brokers who work for a specific financial institution are typically required to deal specifically with their own company's mortgage products. But an Independent Mortgage Broker can check out the mortgages and the rates offered by a host of different banks, trust companies etc. Either way, a mortgage broker or a mortgage specialist can save you time, money & frustration. 1) John Sousa, Independent Mortgage Broker (BC-wide) Toll Free: 1-877-390-8090
