Your Rate Matters. So Does Your Mortgage.
Rita Cousins of Mortgage Architects compares options from a range of lenders and explains the rates, terms, costs, and flexibility that matter to you. Her goal is a competitive mortgage that fits your needs, with clear advice before you decide.
Why Your Mortgage Rate Can Differ
Rates can change frequently. Your options can depend on your purchase, renewal, or refinance, mortgage insurance status, down payment or equity, credit, income, property, amortization, and closing date. An advertised rate is not a personalized approval.
Let’s Find the Best Rate for You
For a home purchase, renewal, or refinance, Rita compares the rate alongside fees, prepayment privileges, potential penalties, portability, and restrictions. The lowest headline rate may not offer the flexibility you need.
She explains the trade-offs and available lender options so you can decide with confidence. Have a rate quote already? Bring the details and conditions so Rita can help compare like for like.

Why Advertised Mortgage Rates Differ
A lender’s posted rate is a published reference rate. An advertised special may be discounted and carry specific conditions. Neither tells you every option available for your mortgage.
Some offers apply only to new purchases or mortgages with mortgage default insurance. Others depend on the closing date, amortization, property use, or product restrictions. A rate advertised for an insured purchase may not apply to a renewal or refinance.
Your down payment or equity, credit, income, property, and financing needs also matter. Rita reviews the conditions and explains the options that may apply to you.
Ask About Your Mortgage Rate Options
Call Rita at 604-230-9206 or email Rita for a personalized discussion. Rates and offers can change; availability is subject to lender approval and conditions.
Why don’t you list today’s mortgage rates?
Rates and promotions change, and a rate chart cannot show which options apply to your situation. Ask Rita for a current, personalized discussion of the available rates, conditions, and mortgage features.
Are advertised mortgage rates available to everyone?
Not always. Some offers are for new purchases or insured mortgages only. A renewal, refinance, rental property, or different amortization may have different pricing. Rita checks the conditions and helps compare options that suit your circumstances.
