Purchase

Careful planning is required to ensure a smooth purchase no matter how many homes you’ve owned. Let’s design your homebuying plan!

Your search for a mortgage advisor ends here. You don't need to look any further or worry about a loan or a mortgage anymore. I was lucky enough to get advice from Hercules not once but twice in two separate transactions in different years. He is quite knowledgeable and honest. He gives you options based on your situation and make the complicated process easy to understand. I was mislead by one of the major banks I was dealing with and I caught the mistake right on time because of him. He's trustworthy with a good heart. You're not going to have a regret dealing with him. Thank you for your vigilance Hercules.

Deren helped my family and I with closing on a new build property for approximately 2 years. He was great from the start where he worked with us to determine what we could afford, to the crunch time when it was finally time to close on the property. Deren took the time to explain the process and to answer all our questions/concerns. We will definitely contact him again when the time comes to purchasing another house. Thank you Deren!

From the beginning I knew I was in trusted hands. I'm a first time new home owner. I have to thank Mortgage Scouts for making it easy for me. Thanks Deren for explaining everything in detail and answering any questions we had. The Scouts worked diligently with the lawyer and realtor also gave me great advice when dealing in realestate. Thank you for your guidance and the confidence to see our dream a reality.

I had a joint line of credit with Simplii Banking with my husband Gerry. He passed away in March and things started to go downhill with Simplii.....they froze my account and cancelled my credit card. I was passed along to Hercules at Mortgage Scout Inc and never regretted my decision to deal with him in setting up a Reverse Mortgage for 3 years to get my life back and decide what I will do in the future. He was very understanding and no matter how silly my questions might be he was always there. Thanks Hercules for all your help.

It was great to have Deren from Mortgage Scout Inc. in my corner (since we were Fight to End Cancer team members in 2019) when recently securing my financing for a real estate investment. He worked tirelessly to acquire the best deal possible in a limited amount of time. I highly recommend you reach out to Deren to see how he can help you. Rick Denley

Fast and efficient closing handled by Derek and team. Even my lawyer was pleasantly surprised with the efficiency that the team responded and provided him with the necessary information. Deren was very patient with me in explaining the details and answering questions I had regarding the process. The attention to detail and prompt response were by far some of the greatest assets in ensuring all ran smoothly and deal closed without a glitch. Highly recommend!
