Most people look at their mortgage twice: when they sign it, and when it is about to renew. Everything in between is where the opportunities sit — and where they get missed. This watches the market against your mortgage and tells you when it is worth a proper look.

A monitoring service, not a pricing engine. Nothing here is an offer, an approval or a promise of a particular outcome.
A letter lands with a number on it and a signature box. It is the least favourable moment to start thinking, and lenders know it.
A roof, a separation, a business need. The mortgage decision gets made under time pressure alongside a harder one.
You hear that things have shifted, you are not sure whether it applies to you, and by the time you find out the window has often closed.
Not a newsletter, not a market bulletin, and not a comparison table. It starts from what you signed and what is left on it.
It exists to answer four questions, on your behalf, continuously:
Lender, term, renewal date, balance, amortization, and whether you are fixed or variable. Monitoring against a guess is worthless, so this part is done carefully.
What you may prepay each year, and how your lender would calculate a penalty. Both change what counts as an opportunity for you specifically.
Not just the posted numbers everyone can see, but what lenders are actually doing and how the Bank of Canada is moving.
The same mortgage looks different six months on. What matters is the gap between where you are and what you could reasonably move to.
An alert means one thing: on the numbers, a review may now be worth having. It is a prompt to look, never an instruction to act.
We run the full analysis together, including what leaving would cost and not just what moving might gain. Then you choose. No obligation, and no assumption that change is right.
Worth stating plainly, because monitoring services in this industry have a reputation for being lead generators in disguise.
It does not produce pricing on demand and it is not a comparison site. Anything specific to you comes from an application and a lender, never from a widget.
Breaking a mortgage costs money. Most alerts do not end in a change, and the analysis includes the penalty before it includes the upside.
No service can promise you will save anything, and any that does should worry you. What is illustrative stays illustrative until a lender commits in writing.
If it pinged you every time something moved you would mute it within a fortnight, and it would have failed. Silence is a legitimate output.
Fixed or variable, with a couple of years still to run. The stretch where nobody is paying attention is exactly where this earns its keep.
Renewal planning properly starts long before the letter. Knowing your position early is what turns a renewal into a negotiation.
If you have no interest in following the market daily but do not want to miss something material, this is the trade you are looking for.

It is a monitoring and review-alert service built around your specific mortgage. It watches the lending market against your term, structure and timing, and tells you when a review may be worth having — not every time something moves.
No. It does not guarantee any particular pricing, any approval, or any saving. It is a decision-support service. What it produces is a prompt to look, and the looking is a full analysis with real numbers before anything is recommended.
No. It highlights situations where a review may make sense. Whether breaking, refinancing or staying put is right depends on your penalty, your remaining term, your cash flow and your longer plan — and that assessment happens with a broker, not automatically.
Only when your own situation warrants it. Two homeowners with different terms and different timing will hear from us at different moments, and in a quiet stretch you may hear nothing for months. That is the service working, not failing.
No. It works for both fixed and variable mortgages. What is monitored differs depending on how your mortgage is structured, but the purpose is the same — timing a review properly.
No. There is no obligation to act on an alert, and no cost to ignore one. Plenty of reviews end with the conclusion that staying put is the right answer, and that is a legitimate outcome.
Headline numbers are not your numbers. They ignore what you signed, what is left on your term, what breaking would cost you and what you qualify for today. Rate Tracker Pro starts from your mortgage rather than from a comparison table.
No. If you have a mortgage anywhere and want it monitored, we can set that up. Getting the details right at the start is what makes the alerts meaningful later.
The monitoring platform behind Rate Tracker Pro is Broki, a third-party Canadian service. You can enter your mortgage there yourself, or we can set it up with you. Your account and the data behind it sit with Broki, under their terms and privacy policy. Reading what the monitoring shows, and telling you whether it is worth acting on, is ours.
Your lender, your term and renewal date, your balance and amortization, whether you are fixed or variable, and your prepayment privileges. Most people can find all of it on their annual statement or in their lender portal.
Monitoring only works if the mortgage behind it is recorded properly. You can enter it yourself, or we can do it with you.
Lender, balance, term and renewal date. A few minutes, and monitoring starts from what you enter. Best if you have your paperwork to hand.

We go through the prepayment privileges and exit terms as well as the basics — the parts that decide what counts as an opportunity for you specifically.
No obligation, and nothing here is an offer of credit.
Enter your lender, your balance and your renewal date and monitoring starts from there. Prefer to talk it through? Twenty minutes is usually enough, and there is no obligation attached to it.
