With close to 20 years in the mortgage industry and a consultative touch, Nishka makes the entire process smooth and easy.
Do we renovate? Do we buy a vacation home? Do we package up our debt and add it to our mortgage? Using your home equity doesn’t have to be expensive. From re-organizing debts to parents helping their children buy homes, draw upon Nishka’s collective experience from dealing with every possible financing scenario over the past 15 years.
“Nishka has been our mortgage advisor for many years. While we have always valued her experience, excellent customer service, and advice in providing financing solutions, it wasn’t until we started our major renovation that we got to see how extensive her knowledge really is. Not only did Nishka recommend over 10 trades people to us, she also came to our home and shared some of her personal experiences, offering ideas from several of her projects on her past homes. She also drew upon the collective experiences that her clients have been through, some of which are property developers.
Working with someone who is “battle tested” has given my wife and I a huge level of comfort as we take the leap into this massive undertaking!”
– Leonard and Liana Cox – North Vancouver
As a real estate investor you want a mortgage advisor with experience. In addition to structuring mortgage financing deals for over 15 years, Nishka is also an active real estate investor herself. Having bought and sold close to 10 properties in the past 10 years, Nishka understands how real estate in the Vancouver area is an integral part of building wealth. With over 50 lenders at her disposal, Nishka can find the funds to “do the deal” and structure it in a tax efficient manner.

How exciting! After driving around town, visiting a million open houses over countless Saturday’s, you are ready to make an offer. Or maybe it’s just the opposite! The house that you have always found an excuse to drive by now has a For Sale sign! Suddenly the traffic on the street seems much more than usual; you know you are going to have to go into a multiple offer situation to get this one!
This is where Nishka shines! In either situation you need a mortgage advisor who can act fast to get you an approval with the right lender so you can remove that “subject to financing clause” ASAP!
“Buying a house and securing financing is a very stressful experience, however, through working with Nishka, the process was surprisingly easy. She was extremely helpful in explaining all the details to us. She has years of experience and knowledge in the industry and was creative in helping us achieve our goals. I would, without a doubt utilize her services again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking into mortgage financing as she is one of the best at what she does!”

Nishka has been an amazing resource for our first home purchase. She was professional and thorough throughout the process and secured a great rate for us quickly and efficiently. Thanks Nishka!
– Ian and Elisabeth
“As first time home buyers, we didn’t know much about the mortgage process. Nishka made everything simple, was always there to answer questions, and catered to our personal needs in finding the right mortgage for us!”
– Jon and Cassia
“So grateful to have Nishka help us make our dream a reality!!
I can’t speak highly enough to explain how much Nishka has helped us through the process of buying our first home. She not only helped us secure a great mortgage product with one of the best rates, but in my mind she also went way outside her job description to make the entire process comfortable for us by having such a wealth of knowledge in all areas of the home buying process. I walked into her office just to explore what it would take to get ourselves into a position where we could buy our own home and with an amazing suggestion on how we could invest in RRSP’s to maximize our tax refund and then utilize our first time home buyers program we actually turned just and idea into me sitting here now in our beautiful home writing about the experience all within 6 months. There were a lot of unknowns and really big sometimes scary decisions to be made along the way when buying our house and what I loved about working with Nishka is that she was always available to return my calls. When we were hunting for houses I think I had to call her 3 times in a row to ask different questions and not once did she ever make me feel as though I was being a bother and she always had a way of leaving me feel very comfortable and confident in what I was doing. Nishka went way above my expectations and I am so grateful to have met such a great person and I will definitely be continuing our journey with her when our mortgage term comes time for renewal. If anyone is considering buying a home or is looking to find a great mortgage I highly recommend you see Nishka to discuss your options she has made our dream come true and I really know she would be helpful to anyone who is going through the process.”

Very happy new homeowners!!!
As first time home-buyers, my husband and I were referred to Nishka to help us secure a mortgage. Nishka was incredibly patient, meeting with us in person to answer all of our questions and coach us through the process. She also made sure to keep in touch regularly throughout our experience so we were aware of where things were at and what was required of us. Even when faced with unique challenges, Nishka went above and beyond in gathering additional information and providing guidance to us on how to navigate our situation. Overall, the knowledge she shared with us and her drive to get us set up with the best mortgage possible reduced our stress and made the entire process easy and straightforward. We would recommend Nishka to other first time home-buyers in a heart beat!

A Mortgage Finance Blog filled with insights on real estate!
The Bank of Canada (BOC) increased the prime rate by 25bps today which means prime will now be 3.7% with most lenders by the end of today.
Though we are in the middle of a trade war with The Donald, the BOC felt there was enough good news that came in over the last quarter to warrant a rate hike.
In this post, we’ll cover what is keeping the BOC up at night and what options you should consider for your mortgage in a rising rate environment.
To answer that question you need to peer into the mind of the governor of the BOC and figure out what’s keeping Stephen up at night. Here are some key points:
With the above four items heating up, the BOC has hinted that they might not be done raising rates in 2018. Time will tell as the economic events unfold.
The bottom line:
So with the above in mind what are we advising our clients?
As always, each and every time we have a conversation we go back to our three stage process:

Since 1995 Nishka has been providing financing solutions for North Vancouver, Vancouver and the Tri-City areas. In that time she has come to understand one simple thing; owning real estate is a key ingredient to creating wealth. “I’ve had the opportunity to meet and interview some very successful people. The common thread between them was that they all actively used real estate to build their net worth.” With this in mind, Nishka is an active advocate in helping clients on their journey in either starting or building on their real estate portfolio. It’s not all about building wealth though. ” Living in Vancouver is a lifestyle choice. We choose a community that we feel our family will be able to connect with. Having lived in North Vancouver for close to 20 years; I am able to provide insight into the various communities and their idiosyncrasies.” When we asked Nishka what does she love about her role as a Mortgage Advisor: ” Helping people. It’s as simple as that. When I meet people they are often at the cross roads of some pretty big decisions. Providing insight from my collective experience and guiding them through the process to the solution is challenging and also exciting.”
“My wife and I were facing the exciting, but also somewhat horrifying task of purchasing our first apartment. As first time buyers, we really didn’t know a whole lot of the ins and outs of a home purchase and about all the different types of mortgages and lenders. Nishka made this whole process easy and as stress free as it could possibly have been. We were referred to her by a coworker and from day one she was absolutely wonderful. She is calm, patient, informative, extremely professional, and very easy to get ahold of if you have questions or concerns. We would highly recommend Nishka to anyone looking for a mortgage.”
