About Ottawa Mortgages

Who we are: Ottawa Mortgages is an independent information and referral service for people buying, refinancing or renewing a mortgage in Ottawa, Ontario. We publish plain-English guides and free calculators, and we connect people who ask for help with licensed Ontario mortgage professionals.

What we do

  • Explain mortgages clearly, using Ontario and Canadian rules and citing official sources.
  • Provide free tools, such as a mortgage calculator and an Ontario land transfer tax calculator.
  • Connect you with licensed professionals who can compare lenders and give personalized advice.

What we are not

We are not a lender, mortgage broker or mortgage brokerage. We do not give mortgage advice, approve applications or set rates. Only a licensed mortgage professional and your lender can do that.

How we make money

Our guides and tools are free to use. When you ask to be connected with a mortgage professional, we may be paid by that professional or their brokerage. This does not change how we write our guides. Read our full disclosure and our editorial policy.
