What we shop for you

One application. Every product you might actually need.

Most people arrive for a mortgage and leave having also fixed their insurance and their debt. Pick the door you came for — we will tell you if there is a better one.

How it works

Three steps, and most of them are ours.

You spend two minutes. We spend the rest of the week negotiating with underwriters on your behalf — at no cost to you on a standard residential mortgage.

  • Your quote does not touch your credit score
  • You see every offer, including the ones we do not recommend
  • Nothing is binding until you sign a commitment

Six short screens: what you need, the property, your timeline and how to reach you. Two minutes on a phone.

We shop the market

An advisor runs your file past the lenders whose rules you actually fit, then negotiates. You get a written comparison, not a sales pitch.

You choose and we close

Pick your offer. We handle the lender, the lawyer and the paperwork through to funding day.

By the numbers

Volume is why our pricing is different.

Lenders discount for brokerages that send clean, well-underwritten files and send a lot of them. That discount is not ours to keep — it goes into your rate.

What actually changed for them.

★★★★★

Our bank offered 5.19% on renewal. Rateshop came back with 3.89% at a credit union and covered the switch costs. Twenty minutes of my time saved us $312 a month.

Priya S.Mississauga, ON · Mortgage Renewal
★★★★★

Self-employed for nine years and three banks said no. The advisor here knew exactly which lender reads business income properly. Approved in four days.

Marc-André L.Laval, QC · Self-Employed Mortgage
★★★★★

We were paying four cards at 22%. One refinance, one payment, and we are done with the debt in five years instead of never.

Dwayne & Kelly R.Calgary, AB · Debt Consolidation
★★★★★

First place. First time. They walked us through the down payment rules and the LTT rebate and never once made us feel stupid for asking.

Amrit K.Surrey, BC · First-Time Home Buyer
★★★★

Straight answers about a reverse mortgage, including the parts that were not in my favour. That honesty is why I signed.

Helen T.Ottawa, ON · Reverse Mortgage
★★★★★

Closing was in eleven days after my private lender fell through. They funded it in seven. Genuinely saved the deal.

Questions people ask before they apply

Does getting a quote affect my credit score?
No. Your initial quote is based on the information you give us and does not involve a credit check. We only pull credit once you tell us to proceed with a specific lender, and a single mortgage-related inquiry has a minimal, temporary effect.
What does Rateshop cost me?
Nothing on a standard residential mortgage. The lender pays us a finder fee when your mortgage funds. On alternative, private and commercial files a brokerage fee may apply — it is disclosed in writing before you sign anything.
How fast can I be approved?
Most pre-approvals come back within 24 hours of a complete application. Private and equity files can fund in three to seven business days.
Fixed or variable — which should I take?
Fixed buys certainty; variable historically costs less over a full term but moves with the Bank of Canada. The right answer depends on your risk tolerance, how long you will hold the property, and your penalty exposure if you break early. Your advisor will model both.
Why is the rate I see different from the rate I get?
Posted rates assume an ideal file: strong credit, provable income, an insured or conventional loan-to-value, and an owner-occupied property. Rental, refinance, extended amortization and bruised-credit files price higher. Your quote reflects your actual file.
What is the difference between a rate and an APR?
The rate determines your interest charge. The APR folds in mandatory lender fees, so it shows the true annual cost of borrowing. Compare APRs when two offers look close.
