Why work with a broker (not your bank)?

Your bank can only offer you its own products. As a broker, I work for you — comparing 20+ banks, credit unions, and lenders to find the lowest rate and the terms that actually fit your life. My advice is free; lenders pay me, not you.

How it works (3 steps)

Book a free call. We talk through your goals — no pressure, no jargon.

Quick application + secure upload. A 5-minute application, then upload your documents to our bank-encrypted portal.

Approved, usually within one business day. I handle the lenders; you get a clear plan.

Vinay has provided above and beyond service for getting me a mortgage for my home, and my rental property, I have used his services two times and have bugged him countless more times just to pick his brain, he is a very sharp individual and I would recomend him over any other mortgage broker ive met.

Vinay was fantastic at navigating everything from mortgage to different insurance policies. I appreciated the knowledge and patience he brought to me as a first time home buyer. Would highly recommend!

I can’t overstate how important Vinay and his services were in helping my wife and me secure the financing for our first home. He was very responsive to all of our questions, no matter the time of the day we reached out to him. and helped us to understand all of our options so we could nail down the solution that best suited our needs. We also had an unusually short window to get our financing secured and to lift conditions. Vinay was able to get it done in the middle of a red-hot housing market by pre-emptively sending all the supplementary documents before the bank even asked! We truly wouldn’t have our home without his help and we wholeheartedly recommend him.

Vinay was awesome in helping me and my wife get approval for a new mortgage. Vinay was able to secure a 1.35 rate for us which is unheard of. Will definitely work with Vinay again when we’re up for renewal. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a mortgage broker. Thanks again for your help Vinay.

Vinay is a very knowledgeable, prompt and honest person when it comes to understand mortgage terms and realities as a first time home buyer. He will go beyond his advisory role to help you and provide a solution that accommodates your future goals beyond mortgage payment. Always will recommend him:)

Mr. Vinay Thanawala of My Mortgage Professor is utterly professional, knowledgeable and efficient mortgage broker in Calgary. He is quick in finding the right solution for his clients as what path to choose in order to get the mortgage approval. Though we needed a small amount as bridge financing to buy our first property in Calgary but it is because of Mr. Vinay Thanawala, who made it smooth and possible within 2-3 days. I would confidently recommend him.
