I’m Riley. I arrange mortgages for people across Nova Scotia.

A little bit about me

The LaHave River at Bridgewater, with the bridge and riverside houses

I grew up in Bridgewater, on the South Shore. Nova Scotia is home, and it’s where I wanted to do this work.

Outside of work I’m usually outside. Surfing in Nova Scotia, diving whenever I can get somewhere warm, and the odd Spartan race. Most of it with my partner, Christy.

I’m part of two groups of business owners in Atlantic Canada.

The Wallace McCain Institute at the University of New Brunswick, with my cohort. A program that puts Atlantic Canadian owners in a room together and keeps them there.

And I recently got a Bengal cat, who keeps me busy at home and comes for walks in the park.

What I believe about mortgages

Sometimes your bank is the right answer. If it is, I’ll tell you, and you’ll have spent fifteen minutes finding out.
The lowest rate is not always the best mortgage. Penalties, portability and prepayment room decide more than a quarter point does.
You should be able to explain your own mortgage. If you can’t say why a lender wants it structured a certain way, I haven’t finished my job.
Every number gets shown before you sign. The premium, the tax, the payment at the stress-test rate. Nothing lives in the fine print.
I don’t quote a rate before I’ve seen the file. A rate on a website is a guess. A rate on a commitment is a promise.
