Why mortgage brokers rank Calvert Home Mortgage Investment Corporation among Canada’s top lenders

A five-decade track record in exit-driven lending

The lender reports it has funded more than 12,000 deals and loaned in excess of $2.9 billion, supporting over 11,000 real estate investors, mortgage brokers, and homeowners across Alberta and Ontario.

Calvert Home Mortgage points to five core values as the foundation of that growth, namely service, trust, education, people, and solutions. That philosophy starts with trust. “Our philosophy is simple: be available, honest, and solutions-oriented,” says Ryan Day, Head of Business Development at Calvert Home Mortgage. “That’s how you earn a broker’s trust, and that’s how their clients end up having a great experience.”

For Day, the stakes go beyond a single transaction. “A mortgage broker’s reputation is built one client experience at a time,” he says. “We see our role as making sure every one of those experiences is seamless so brokers can consistently deliver the kind of outcomes that keep clients coming back.”

That focus on speed shows up in how Calvert Home Mortgage structures its lending. The firm advertises funding turnaround as fast as one to two business days in Alberta and one to three business days in Ontario once all required documents are received, a pace built specifically around the time-sensitive nature of the deals brokers bring to the table. Its product range, spanning flip financing, bridge loans, equity take-out, debt consolidation, and transitional closed-term mortgages, is designed to give brokers flexibility when a client’s circumstances do not fit a standard lending model.

What Calvert Home Mortgage’s underwriting team brings to the table

On the underwriting side, Garrett LaBarre, Underwriter Manager, frames the relationship in similar terms. “I believe mortgage brokers value our underwriting support because we don’t approach their files as paperwork,” LaBarre says. “Behind each deal is a client counting on their broker, and we take that responsibility very seriously. To me, this result reflects that mortgage brokers see us as true partners in the process, working alongside them to achieve the best outcome rather than just processing the submissions.”
