Who Craig Helps
Mortgage Renewals in Woodstock for Homeowner
Whether your renewal is 6 months away or coming up fast, here's how Craig helps.
Early Renewal
Your term isn't up yet but rates have shifted or your situation has changed. Craig assesses whether breaking early and locking in a new rate actually saves you money, penalties included, before you commit to anything.
Switching Lenders at Renewal
Renewal time is the best opportunity to move lenders without a break penalty. Craig shops the full market to find out if a different lender offers better rates, terms, or flexibility than your current one.
Shopping for Term and Rate
Your bank's first renewal offer is rarely their best. Craig knows what lenders are offering across the market and uses that to negotiate better terms, whether you stay with your current lender or switch.
The difference
Why Not Just Auto Renew With Your Bank?
Because your bank's renewal offer is designed for their margin, not your savings.
Education-First Approach
Craig explains every renewal option clearly, for example fixed vs variable, term length, prepayment privileges... You'll understand exactly what you're agreeing to before signing anything.
Access to 88+ Lenders
Your current lender will send you a renewal letter. Craig sends you options. Shopping 88+ lenders means you see the full picture, not just what one institution offers you.
A Partner for the Life of Your Mortgage
Craig starts the renewal conversation 4-6 months before your term ends, not the week before. That buffer gives you time to make a real decision instead of a rushed one.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start looking at renewal options?
Ideally 4–6 months before your term expires. Most lenders send renewal offers 30–90 days out, by then your options are limited. Starting early gives Craig time to properly shop the market and negotiate on your behalf.
Can I switch lenders at renewal without a penalty?
Yes, renewal is the one time you can move lenders without paying a break penalty. As long as you don't sign your current lender's renewal offer, you're free to take your mortgage elsewhere.
Do I have to accept my bank's renewal offer?
No, and you shouldn't without comparing it first. Banks count on the convenience of auto-renewal. Craig compares that offer against 88+ lenders so you know if you're getting a fair deal or leaving money on the table.
What's the difference between fixed and variable at renewal?
Fixed gives you rate certainty for the term, your payment doesn't change. Variable moves with the Bank of Canada's prime rate, it can go down but also up. Craig walks through the trade-offs based on current market conditions and your situation.
