The Sparrow difference

The asset nobody puts on the spreadsheet.

Most people know their chequing balance, their credit card balance, and roughly what's in their RRSP. The house just sits there.

It's usually the largest number in the whole picture, and it can do things the other numbers can't. Equity can pay off 21% credit card debt at a mortgage rate. It can be the down payment on a rental. After 55, it can be tax-free money in retirement without selling.

It can also be the wrong move. Sometimes the right answer is to leave it alone. Sometimes it's to sell. We'll tell you which, because the lender pays us the same either way.

Two recent calls

Sometimes the honest answer costs us money.

A client called about a reverse mortgage. She needed $20,000 after a hard year. A reverse mortgage would have worked. A refinance was going to cost her a lot less, so that's what we told her.

Refinance, not reverse

Another client, 76, was sure he didn't qualify for Old Age Security. He was $35,000 under the cutoff. He'd never applied. That has nothing to do with a mortgage and it earned us nothing. It came up because we look at the whole picture before we talk about products.

Not a mortgage at all

Let's put your equity to work. Or find out that you shouldn't.

Five minutes to tell us what you're after. A licensed broker calls you back with real options.
