British Columbia (BC) Mortgage Brokers
British Columbia (BC) is home to majestic mountains, beautiful lakes, the Pacific coast and Canada's most expensive real estate (not to mention BC's premiere mortgage brokerage, Verico Mortgage Options Ltd). Vancouver, the countries priciest city, epitomizes what life on the west (or wet depending on who you ask) coast is all about, where mountains and ocean meet. You can go skiing in the morning, sailing in the afternoon and maybe do a quick nine holes before dark. It's no wonder Vancouver is consistently voted one of the top 3 most livable cities in the world. The Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) is made up of several cities; Vancouver, Burnaby, Port Moody, North Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey, White Rock, Delta, Coquitlam, West Vancouver, Maple Ridge and Langley, just to name a few. The GVRD is the third largest metropolitan area in all of Canada. Not technically considered part of the GVRD is the Fraser Valley; Abbotsford and Chilliwack are the major centers. This area is also growing very quickly and has been a popular spot for those being pushed out the GVRD because of the high house pricing.
The capital of BC is Victoria. It is the largest city on Vancouver Island, and is arguably the most beautiful. Vancouver Island boasts Canada's most moderate climate, with early springs, sunny summers and rainy winters. Unlike most of Canada, snow shoveling is not an issue in Victoria. The second largest city on the island is Nanaimo, it is north of Victoria and is another major ferry terminal from the mainland. Going further north up to the Comox Valley, Courtenay is the major center with a population of just over 22,000.
The largest city in the interior of BC is Kelowna, in the central Okanagan. Kelowna is another lifestyle city which brings visitors from world wide to enjoy the world class skiing in the winter and the very hot desert summers spent on the lakes. The Okanagan is also famous for their vineyards and wineries, the ideal summers make for a perfect growing season very similar to that of the Napa Valley in California. Other popular cities in the Okanagan and interior are Osoyoos, Penticton, Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Vernon and Peachland.
The Kootenays, in southeastern BC, are what people think of when they hear about the Rockies. Tall rocky mountains cover the terrain, spotted with mountain fed crystal clear lakes. The largest center in the Kootenays is Cranbrook, a town of 20,000 which acts as the commercial hub for the area. World class ski hills are also plentiful in this area of BC, Fernie, Golden, Kimberley and Panarama all within a few hours of one another make this area a very popular spot with tourists from all over the country and beyond. West of Cranbrook are the cities of Nelson and Castlegar, they lie in the West Kootenays.
The BC North is another important part of BC, but for very different reasons. Much of BC's natural resources, oil, natural gas, forestry are all centered in the North. Prince George to Fort St. John to Dawson Creek, BC's North is a major cog in the engine that drives BC. Other BC cities in the central part of the province include Terrace, Williams Lake and Quesnel.
Although we don't have a BC mortgage broker in every center, we are able to assist all our BC clients from our head office here in the lower mainland or the Okanagan.

What our BC mortgage brokers are saying:
BC, like much of western Canada, is just cooling down from what has been a long boom of industry and real estate. We have seen our average mortgage sizes go up substantially throughout the province. BC is a province where many of the larger cities can be difficult for younger families to find affordable housing. We have helped many clients get into new homes by offering them a combination of our best mortgage rates in BC, and extended amortizations to keep those mortgage payments down. Without these great mortgage rates, and the know how to maximize clients buying power, many of our clients may have had to buy a property that was a stepping stone and not the property they wanted to buy today. We have educated many new home buyers on the importance of not only the right priced home but also the lowest mortgage rates, and we now have customers that will continue to come back to us for all their mortgage financing needs again and again!
