Welcome to my website

My mission is to serve the public and to help clients understand how investments and insurance can make a positive difference in their lives. I have 18 years industry experience and focus my practice around the client. Each individual is different and attention must be given to that persons goals and dreams.  In today’s investment climate it can be a very intimidating place to be on your own. I offer a helping hand, a listening ear and sound advice.  If you are visiting my site for the first time and are concerned about your holdings, please click the button below to contact me or call me at 519 667-0555 we can get together and review your current position. Once the review is complete we can see if there are any adjustments that need to be made. It is a very enlightening exercise for most and a great way to make sure you are on solid ground going forward.  Contact Me Today

so you can move forward with confidence

RRSP or Pay Down the Mortgage?

Check out this on-line calculator from Empire Life. You input your numbers and you will quickly know if you are better off to pay down your mortgage or if you should make an RRSP contribution? Or is there a way to do both? http://www.empire.ca/consumer/en/calculators/rrsp_mortgage_questions.html

If you need help give me a call, I’m happy to help – always.

Tuesday March 1, 2011 is the deadline to make a deposit to your RRSP to reduce your income and tax payable for the 2010 tax year. If you need one a RRSP Loan we can do one in minutes.

Mortgage Changes:

Effective March 18, 2011 new regulations provided by the Federal Government will no longer allow the ability to refinance up to 90%. The new guideline is 85% for refinancing.

Amortization (the amount of time you pay your mortgage back) will be reduced from 35 years to a maximum of 30 years.

Although over all I feel these new guidelines are important and effective for the bigger – long-term financial health of Canadians, if you’re one who is in debt overload, I would urge you to take this opportunity to consolidate your debt and put this behind you once and for all.

Here’s to a great year,
