5-Star Reviews
Buying a home is a big deal.

You shouldn’t feel confused, rushed, or pressured into decisions.

Family Mortgage Planners helps you find the right mortgage for YOUR needs — with clear explanations, honest advice, and a team that treats you like family.

Not all mortgages are created equal.

There may be an option that
fits your life better than another.

Our mission is to find it for you.

When it comes to financing, most homebuyers start (and stop) at their bank.

But, there are actually dozens of mortgage options available, and the differences can matter more than you think.

The challenge isn’t getting a mortgage.

It’s knowing which one actually fits your life.

That’s exactly where we come in.

As licensed mortgage brokers, we compare options from over 30+ lenders across Canada.

That means you get access to more options — not just what one bank can offer.


When you work with us, we:

Do all of the research for you.

Explain your options clearly.

Help you confidently choose the best mortgage for your needs.

We’re with you every step of the way.

Truly exceptional service!

Let’s get you the best mortgage.

Here’s what you can expect from us:

Quick Responses

You can easily reach us by phone, email, or text — we respond promptly so you’re never left waiting or wondering what’s happening.

Clear Explanations

We take the time to walk you through your options in plain language, so you understand not just what you’re choosing — but why.

Honest Guidance

We truly keep your needs central to our mission. If something isn’t in your best interest, we’ll say so. Even if that means staying with your bank.

Stronger Options

Because we compare 30+ lenders, we’re often able to secure better solutions than clients were offered directly.

Smooth Process

From application to funding, we stay organized and proactive, making the process feel seamless instead of stressful.

A True Family Team

Mark, Jonah, and Joel work together on every file. That means shared responsibility, steady communication, and genuine care.

We’d be honored if you’d let our family take care of yours. 

Made the process smooth & stress free from start to finish.

We received the most excellent service! Joel was thorough and patient with the particularities of my situation and the whole process went smoother than I could have hoped for. Our real estate lawyer even commented to me that my mortgage broker did an amazing job because it had been ages since he had seen a lower mortgage rate.

Hats off to this incredible team at Family Mortgage Planners!

The team at Family Mortgage Planners are exceptional. They got us a great rate on our house in 2015, and an even better rate when we refinanced in 2020.

They are super easy to communicate with and are very helpful at answering any questions or concerns. We will continue to use them for our mortgage needs and I drop their name to all of my friends who are looking for mortgages.
