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.
“When we first moved to Saskatoon in late 2008, Sarah Corfield was the mortgage broker who helped us get the mortgage for our first home. Since then Sarah has been our only and single contact for any financial needs in housing. I’ve never seen her in person since she’s living in Victoria B.C. and we are living in Saskatooon, SK; however anytime I need help for our home financing Sarah is the first poerson I think of. Sarah has been very proactive and helpful to us. She’s kept me updated with the market rates, which was so beneficial to us since we saved a great deal from a lower rate on our mortgage in 2010. Again recently when we moved to a new home to be closer to our sons school, Sarah was the one we called. Working with Sarah, though only remotely and electronically – on phone, emails and text messages we feel very comfortable with timely responsiveness and satisfactory services. Sarah is the mortgage broker I would definitely recommend to any friends, relatives that need help to get a mortgage approval.”

“When one of my friends told me to check with his daughter when our mortgage came up for renewal I was a bit sceptical but thought why not. I have worked with all kinds of professional people in my 44 years in the General Insurance Industry and I would be hard pressed to find someone that worked as efficiently and professionally. I have nothing but praise and I have referred people that say the same thing.”

“It is with great pleasure that we write to recommend the services of Laura Corfield. Laura came highly recommended from a friend of ours and we will most certainly be continuing the trend!
Laura helped us with the purchase of our very first home. We found her to be sincere and professional throughout the whole loan process. She was very understanding of our exciting yet stressful situation and was incredibly knowledgeable of current mortgage trends. Laura made herself available to us at all times of the day – she was always just a phone call away. She also made it very easy to understand and process all of our paperwork – again, any questions we had, Laura always had an honest answer.
We find comfort in knowing that Laura has also offered us ongoing mortgage advice. It is wonderful to know that we have someone like Laura to go to for our mortgage needs.
We wish the Corfield Sisters continued success in their business endeavours!”

“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.”
-Don Mitchell
“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
