The first step before you can start house hunting in earnest, is to see a mortgage specialist who will go with you through your finances and determine what will be a comfortable price level for you at the current mortgage rates. They will normally give you a pre-approval letter that will be valid for 3 to 6 months. You can either see a mortgage specialist at your bank or an independent broker who works with a large pool of mortgage houses. Here are a few mortgage brokers that we often work with in the Fredericton area:
