Licensing
Amplify Leads is a marketing company. It is not a lender and it is not a mortgage brokerage. The people who can arrange a mortgage for you are licensed professionals, and this page explains how to check them.
Who is licensed and who is not
Amplify Leads runs this website from Toronto. It does not make mortgage loans, it does not act as a mortgage brokerage or broker, it does not give mortgage or legal advice, and it does not hold a mortgage licence. It passes enquiries, with your consent, to licensed mortgage professionals in your province, and it is paid by those professionals. How we are paid has the detail.
The licensed people are the mortgage agents, brokers and brokerages who contact you. Each is licensed in the province where your home is, and each is responsible for its own advice and conduct.
How to check a professional
Mortgage brokering is regulated province by province. A licence in one province does not cover another. In Ontario there are two levels of mortgage agent licence, and only Level 2 agents and brokers can deal with private lenders.
Before you hand over money or sign anything, ask the professional for their name, brokerage and licence number, then confirm them with the regulator for your province. Use the licence or registry search on the regulator's site. If you cannot find them, or the details do not match, do not go ahead, and tell us.
