There are generally two ways to get a mortgage in Canada: From a bank or from a licensed mortgage professional.
While a bank only offers the products from their particular institution, licensed mortgage professionals send millions of dollars in mortgage business each year to Canada's largest banks, credit unions, trust companies, and financial institutions; offering their clients more choice, and access to hundreds of mortgage products! As a result, clients benefit from the trust, confidence, and security of knowing they are getting the best mortgage for their needs.
Whether you're purchasing a home for the first time, taking out equity from your home for investment or pleasure, or your current mortgage is simply up for renewal, it's important that you are making an educated buying decision with professional unbiased advice.
About the Corfield Sisters
Originally from Brighton England, Sarah and Laura Corfield moved to Canada in 1994, with their family. They spent the remainder of their elementary and high school years in Vernon, B.C. After graduating high school, they moved to Victoria to attend the University of Victoria, where they graduated with a degree in the Bachelor of Arts in Economics.
Immediately after University Sarah became licensed as a Mortgage Broker and started out her career working for high volume brokers. She gained a substantial amount of knowledge, through underwriting their deals from start to finish.
After University, Laura joined the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) as an Underwriter. In the 3 years she spent there, she learnt the tools for underwriting commercial loans and packaging those deals to the management team. In 2009 she decided to move back to Victoria to be closer to her family. While working as an unlicensed assistant for a top volume broker, Laura herself became licensed as a Mortgage Broker. The Sisters started underwriting for a high volume firm in Victoria, which allowed them to see a vast array of deals and gave them experience and knowledge beyond their years.
In February 2012 Corfield Sisters – DLC Modern Mortgage Group was developed. Since then, Sarah & Laura have put their 22+ years experience in the finance industry to work. Their experience coupled with their outstanding customer service, has proven invaluable in getting both residential and commercial mortgages funded, in this now tougher industry, while also optimizing their clients experience.
“Laura and Sarah handled the entire financing process for me, allowing me to focus on other important aspects of our business. Not only did they act professionally on my behalf, but they also acted in my best interests in finding the best lender that fit with our business’ key requirements.”

“Laura and Sarah,
We wanted to send you a note to express our gratitude. Our experience of having you assist us in obtaining our mortgage was a complete pleasure. Through working with you, we have come to appreciate your unparralleled customer service, comprehensive industry knowledge and extensive acess to mortgage products.
You were dealing with us at an incredibly busy time in our lives and we appreciate how you went the extra mile to accommodate our schedules and to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible. Thank you for guiding us through each step of the process without any surprises and for answering every question we had completely and honestly – even if we weren’t going to like the answers. You were always ready with advice when we asked for it, while always ensuring that we were in control and understood the implications of every decision we made. And, even though the internet has made finding mortgage rate offerings a simple search, I was totally amazed that you were able to find us a rate and term that was better than anything we found online!
We have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending the Corfield Sisters and we look forward to working with you again when our mortgage is ready for renewal!”
Sincerely,
Merlin and Shawnee Griscowsky

“Our experience with Laura and Modern Mortgage Group was excellent. As first time homebuyers, we had a lot to learn, and Laura was patient and informative as we went from initial application through to closing. She was always quick to respond to phone or email, and anything she promised to send or complete for us was done the same day. Once we’d actually made an offer, Laura guided us through the paperwork and we obtained our mortgage quickly and with no issues. Corfield Sisters exceeded our expectations in all aspects, and Laura’s professionalism has led us to recommend her to others without hesitation.”

“Sarah’s work impressed me on multiple levels. She had an uncanny sense for what I was pondering but hadn’t yet said aloud, really listened effectively to what I was seeking, brought forward the perfect mortgage solution for my consideration, and did it all in a timely manner and with excellent communication skills. How could so many terrific characteristics and abilities find their way into one mortgage broker? I recommend Sarah unequivocally and would work with her again in a heartbeat.”
