Proudly Canadian!  Owned and Operated by Licensed Mortgage Broker & Real Estate Agent John Avvenente and Operations Manager Roy Perreault, Your Money Matters is a dynamic franchise office of The Mortgage Centre; Canada’s most established mortgage brokerage network.

After several years of working in the mortgage and banking and market research industries, respectively, John launched Your Money Matters Inc. in April of 2011 with Roy joining in September 2012 to accommodate consumers’ changing needs and the changing climate of the mortgage lending industry.  Put simply, the banks’ lending guidelines were frequently changing which meant that consumers had to conduct their own research across many different banks and mortgage products; a very time-consuming, stress-inducing and somewhat confusing process for the uninitiated.  Without special knowledge or experience, a consumer may not have obtained the lowest interest rate, the best term or overall mortgage product to suit their needs.  Home owners and potential home owners also needed financing options more varied than what one bank could offer.

In order for consumers to obtain the best, most suitable and affordable mortgage products they would need a trusted and experienced mortgage broker representing them, underwriting, and negotiating pricing with lenders.  This would not only save the clients’ time, but money as well.

Upon opening Your Money Matters we immediately gained access to a vast lender network with broker-only channels offering unbeatable rates and unadvertised mortgage products.  This further strengthened our secure foothold in the competitive mortgage industry as we can now offer new and existing clients more options and innovative approaches toward obtaining financing.

Your Money Matters provides the highest levels of personalized client service; we are a uniquely talented and experienced team of genuinely involved mortgage professionals that work for YOU, not the lender. Feel free to reach out to any one of our team members for assistance with your mortgage financing and real estate needs.
