What a broker's book looks like in London

London moves at a different pace from the GTA. With close to five months of inventory, buyers negotiate, conditions come back into offers and closings take longer, which means rate holds, financing conditions and lender timelines matter more than they do in a bidding war.

Western University and Fanshawe College keep the investor market busy, and buyers moving from the GTA bring equity from a sale. Between them, rental purchases and move up files make up a large share of the work.

Where the files come from

  • Buyers who can negotiate and take time to arrange financing
  • Student rental and investor purchases near the campuses
  • Buyers relocating from the GTA with equity from a sale
  • Renewals and refinances across a large existing owner base

What changes when you join from London

  • Direct submission to 100+ A, B, private and alternative lenders under Dominion Lending Centres
  • Top tier lender status on every file from day one, with a split that reflects your volume
  • Deal Desk underwriting support on commercial, B and alternative files in exchange for a commission split
  • Compliance, payroll and deal processing handled, plus a broker portal built for the work
  • Weekly lender training, one on one mentorship and private lending matchmaking events
