Why refinance rather than keep your mortgage in Montreal
In Montreal, refinancing makes sense when accumulated equity exceeds a useful threshold (renos > $30,000, consolidation of at least $25,000 of high-interest debt, down payment on a 2nd property). The OSFI cap is 80% LTV. An AMF-licensed broker calculates your theoretical equity, compares total cost (IRD penalty + notarial deed) versus real savings, and tells you if it is worth doing now or waiting for maturity. Courteo sets no rate and provides no financial advice.
How Courteo connects you in Montreal
In 2 minutes you describe your situation (current mortgage balance, estimated value, goal). A Quebec coordinator calls you back within the business day to clarify constraints — area (Plateau-Mont-Royal, Rosemont, Villeray), profile, urgency. We then introduce a broker from the Courteo network matching your wedge and region. You receive their name and AMF licence number before the first contact.
What to expect during your refinance in Montreal
The broker starts with a leverageable equity calculation (up to 80% LTV minus balance), estimates the IRD penalty if you are mid-term, and shops lenders who accept your profile and refi purpose. In Montreal (Island of Montreal), the process typically takes 3 to 5 weeks: professional appraisal ($400-600), refi notarial deed, disbursement. The broker stays with you at every step.

Frequently asked questions
How much equity can I extract in Montreal?
The OSFI rule caps at 80% of market value, minus your mortgage balance. An AMF broker does the precise calculation for Montreal with a professional appraisal ($400-600) or a less costly drive-by depending on the lender.
Does the IRD penalty cancel out the refi benefit?
It depends. A broker calculates the break-even: penalty versus monthly savings × months remaining. Refi often becomes profitable above $25-30,000 of high-interest debt consolidated. They always compare vs waiting for maturity.
How much does Courteo cost in Montreal?
Zero. Connecting you with a broker is free for you. The AMF-licensed mortgage broker is paid by the lender funding your refi — the standard mortgage brokerage model in Quebec.
Can we refinance with a self-employed or variable-income profile in Montreal?
Yes. Some A lenders have Business For Self programs, others alternative lenders accept stated income via financial statements. An AMF broker knows which handle this profile well in the Montreal market.
