If you want to become an expert in the mortgage process or just understand it better, these resources can be an excellent starting point. When you’re ready to take the next step, reach out to Nola Stairs in Prince George, BC, for all your mortgage needs.
I became a licensed realtor in 1992 and carried out the role for five years before activating my mortgage broker’s license. Subsequently, in 2015, I combined my interests in mortgages and real estate to efficiently guide my clients to their homeownership goals by matching them with suitable lenders. My services include first mortgages, second mortgages, private mortgages, and line of credit. I also take care of renewals, refinancing, and reverse mortgages for clients. I serve clients across Prince George, Quesnel, Vanderhoof, Mackenzie, McBride, and Tumbler Ridge, BC.
