Mortgage Centered Financial Planning

For most Canadians, buying or selling a home is the largest financial decision they will ever make. Yet more often than not, that decision is made isolated from the rest of that individual’s financial portfolio.

At SAFEBRIDGE, we believe that any mortgage based decision should take into account the rest of that person’s financial situation. As a result, we have created a unique and proprietary process that we call “Mortgage Centered Financial Planning”. This process simply means that we don’t just look at your mortgage and help you find the best rate the market has to offer, but rather we choose to take a consultative approach that allows our Team to effectively understand your situation as a whole and thus expose other areas of your current financial situation that may in fact provide an opportunity to enhance your financial reality and help you achieve your goals in a more timely and effective manner.

Each client is different and unique and we understand that. That’s what makes this process so beneficial as the end result is a better relationship between you and your Mortgage Agent, based on a comprehensive understanding of who you are and how we as a firm can help you achieve all the goals you have for you and your family.

Chris is a Co-Founder and Financial Advisor at SafeBridge Financial Group, the originators of Mortgage Centered Financial Planning, and is passionate about serving his clients and empowering the incredible team to “Be Better. Be Inspiring.” Prior to co-founding SafeBridge, Chris started his career as a Financial Advisor with Sun Life Financial, formerly Clarica Financial Services, and had the privilege of serving many clients financial needs for over a decade.
