Opening the Door to Home Ownership

All your attempts to get into the market are being frustrated – prices always seem to rise long term and things like stress testing and down payment requirements still keep housing unaffordable. It is not fair and it is not sustainable.

Someone had to create a fairer way for Canadians to buy a home.

That is why we created FirstStep Financial.

FirstStep is private mortgage lender whose commitment is to lower your down payment without increasing your monthly payments and make your dream of affordable home ownership a reality now.

FirstStep is

Canada's most innovative non-bank Mortgage Lender

we believe the Canadian Mortgage system is broken.

We are not your typical mortgage provider.

Our objective is to help buyers get into ownership or investment on fair and sustainable terms, or help those who already own a home manage huge increases in variable rate mortgage payments. 

We believe everyone should have access to Affordable home ownership:
