I hope everyone has slowly gotten back into gear and that2012 is off to a good start. I took some time over the holidays to relax but also met with a few clients. One family that I met with had decided to take the plunge and build their own house five years ago in Saint Lazare. Now they were looking to renew their mortgage and pay off some debts. Let me tell you the house was very impressive and a good example how building your home with a contractor is possible! My client went to the bank herself to get the construction mortgage. She said her experience was mixed and she didn’t get the guidance she expected nor was the process clear. Speaking to a mortgage broker about a new construction helps with not only planning but understanding all the steps involved in building a home in phases.
Secondly, I wanted to take a second to announce a new initiative that we at North East Mortgages are working on. We have partnered with Habitat for Humanity Montreal and the Habitat for Humanity Montreal ReStore(http://habitatmontreal.qc.ca/en/restore).Many people know about the valuable contribution Habitat does in building homes but few have heard of the ReStore. Yes, I know it’s based near Atwater Market in Montreal but it’s worth the drive from the West Island, Saint Lazare or even Hudson. The ReStore is one of Montreal’s best kept secrets where manufacturers and hardware stores donate hardware goods from paint, sinks, and anything else you can think of when renovating. The prices are incredible low and proceeds get pumped back into Habitat so they can keep helping people. Please check out their website and location.
