Mortgage Agent in Oakville
By Vishvesh Patel, Mortgage Agent · Centum Financial Services Limited Partnership · FSRA licence M26001018
Oakville buyers often come to me with a specific home already in mind and one question: can I do this properly, without stretching? The answer comes from a full pre-approval — income verified, debts counted, down payment and closing costs budgeted — before an offer goes in.
If you are moving up, downsizing, or relocating to Oakville from elsewhere in Canada, the file needs to tell your story clearly: where the down payment sits, how your income works, and what happens with your current home. I build that file with you and take it to the lenders that fit it.

Why Oakville buyers work with a broker
At the price points many Oakville homes trade at, small differences in a mortgage add up to real money: how the penalty is calculated, how much you can prepay, whether the mortgage can move with you. I compare those terms across banks, credit unions, and monoline lenders through CENTUM — and in most standard mortgages you pay nothing, the lender pays me.
My file work is done through Centum Financial Services Limited Partnership, and I am licensed by FSRA in Ontario (licence M26001018, Agent Level 1). I speak English, Hindi, Gujarati, and Punjabi, and I am reachable evenings and weekends — because houses do not wait for business hours.
Oakville mortgage questions, answered
Do you work with buyers in Oakville?+
Yes. I am licensed in Ontario and I work with buyers in Oakville and across the GTA — first-time buyers, newcomers to Canada, families renewing or refinancing, and self-employed buyers. We work by phone, video, and email, in the evenings and on weekends too. In most standard mortgages you pay nothing — the lender pays me.
What is a mortgage pre-approval, and does it guarantee financing?+
A pre-approval tells you how much you can likely borrow and usually holds a rate for 90 to 120 days. It is not a guarantee. Final approval still depends on verifying your income, your documents, and the property. Get it before you shop, not after you fall in love with a house.
Should I use a mortgage broker or go straight to my bank in Oakville?+
A bank can only offer you its own products. A broker shops your file across many lenders, including banks, credit unions, and monoline lenders, and finds the one that fits your situation. If your file is straightforward, both can work. If it is anything unusual, a broker has more places to go.
How much are closing costs in Oakville?+
Plan for 1.5% to 4% of the purchase price on top of your down payment. That covers land transfer tax, legal fees, and adjustments. Buyers who budget only for the down payment run out of money at the finish line. Get a written estimate from your lawyer early.
