Based in the Lower Mainland — does this work for Nanaimo?

Yes. A mortgage broker licence in BC is provincial (mine is #MB609900), not city by city.

The process was never built around meeting in person — the application is online, documents go by email or a secure upload link, and most paperwork can be e-signed remotely. The few documents that need a witness get signed with a local lawyer or notary near you, no trip required.

Plenty of Lower Mainland clients finish the whole process without meeting in person either. Nanaimo works the same way.

Nanaimo, specifically

Nanaimo's population is about 100,000, on the east coast of Vancouver Island, roughly an hour's drive from Victoria. Getting to the mainland means a ferry — BC Ferries runs Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay and Duke Point to Tsawwassen — or, since 2023, the Hullo passenger fast ferry straight into downtown Vancouver in about 75 minutes.

Median home values run a bit above the national median but noticeably below the Lower Mainland, drawing both retirees and commuters. For real estate I'd point you to someone based on the island; the mortgage side is open any time.

Common questions

You are not local to Nanaimo — can I still reach you if something comes up?

Contact and response times are the same no matter where you are: (604) 727-1629, Monday–Saturday 9am–7pm for a same-day reply, otherwise the next business slot.

Since the property is outside the Lower Mainland, do I need a broker based in Nanaimo instead?

Not necessarily. The licence is provincial and most lenders do not underwrite based on where the broker sits. Whether remote makes sense for your situation is a ten-minute call.

Ten minutes tells you where you land

No credit check in the first step, and nothing to prepare first.
