The Only Mortgage Company Inc.
Our parent company, Triple P Financial Brokering Services Ltd. incorporated in 1997, signed a one of a kind contract with the first of four lenders allowing us to offer our exclusive “Group Rate Mortgage Program’ to Union Members across the Province of Alberta in March 1999. Organizations were chosen to participate in the program which offers a substantial rate reduction from posted bank rates for 5 and 7 year terms on residential first mortgages by a full 1% rate reduction.
In the latter part of the year, 2000 and the early part of 2001 we have seen the average 5 year mortgage discount increase to 1.25% below the posted bank rate as well as enhancements to the prepayment options from 10 to 25 percent that can be prepaid based on the original mortgage balance registered. Financial institutions were becoming more and more competitive.
In 2002 with the excitement of achieving our goal to obtain better interest rates and provide better savings to Canadians we elected to do a corporate name change to The Only Mortgage Company Inc. Thus instilling our message to our customers “Only Mortgages”. With the principals having experience as accredited lenders, credit card services, credit counselling, insurance sales and mortgage brokering, we provide our clients with the best mortgage financing packages available.
Special invitation to all Local 21 members.
