👋🏼 Hi, I'm Marshall!
I’m a Toronto mortgage broker with nearly 15 years of experience helping people buy their first homes. I’ve worked with over 500 clients and structured more than $250M in mortgages.
But I don’t see my role as just “getting approvals.”
Most first-time buyers don’t actually need a mortgage first.
They need clarity.
Clarity on what they qualify for.
Clarity on what they’re truly comfortable carrying.
Clarity on how the process actually works.
I work with 50+ lenders (not just one bank), which means we can structure things properly around your income, your goals, and your timeline — not force you into a box.
I don’t disappear after closing. I stay involved, because rates change, life changes, and your strategy should adjust with it.
I’ve also lived the Toronto market myself — as a homeowner and investor — through rate swings, price cycles, and all the uncertainty that comes with it. So when we talk about risk, timing, or opportunity, it’s not theoretical.
Buying your first home can feel overwhelming. The headlines are loud. Everyone has advice. And the process isn’t always explained clearly.
That’s why I created this masterclass — to give you structure, straight answers, and a real framework so you can make decisions from a place of confidence, not pressure.
FAQs
Not at all. Many attendees are still a year or two away from buying. This event is about learning the process so you can plan confidently and avoid mistakes later.
Approximately 60–70 minutes including live Q&A.
No. The focus is on education. You’ll learn how the mortgage and buying process works, what today’s market means for you, and have a chance to ask your own questions.
Just yourself (and maybe a notepad if you like taking notes).
Absolutely. Buying a home is often a team decision—feel free to bring whoever’s part of your journey.
The seminar is tailored for first-time buyers, but if you’re planning to purchase again or help someone close to you, you’ll find the content useful too.
Yes! The evening is designed to be casual and interactive. You can ask questions during the chat or one-on-one afterward.
