We work exclusively with mortgage brokers
You’re not competing with us since we don’t deal directly with borrowers. Your clients remain your clients.
Our Story
We got our start as a small, family-run mortgage brokerage in the basement of our founder Bryan Jaskolka’s home. When the 2009 financial crisis rocked the mortgage industry, we reinvented ourselves as a private lender.
Today, we’re known as Canada’s premier private mortgage lender, with access to more than $1 billion in the capital. We’ve won numerous of national industry awards over the years, but our biggest source of pride comes from the many long-term relationships we’ve built with mortgage brokers like you.
“We know brokers because we used to be a brokerage. We’re here to support brokers, not compete with them.”
Bryan Jaskolka,
Founder and CEO, CMI Financial Group
We work exclusively with brokers to secure mortgage financing quickly and easily. No jumping through hoops to justify credit scores and non-traditional income sources. There’s no red tape to slow down the application process. Just honest, transparent and flexible mortgage solutions that fit the unique needs of your clients.
Our team excels at putting together complex mortgage deals that don’t align with conventional lending guidelines. And we’ve helped to define industry best practices. You can count on a full-service experience with our trusted staff, who know the private lending business inside and out.
You can see our broker experience shine through in everything we say and do – from our product offerings and technology platforms to our submission and underwriting processes. With a proven track record of finding solutions to tough borrowing situations, we’re the preferred partner of brokers across Canada.

Same-day commitments
Once we get the ball rolling, it doesn’t stop. We’re committed to helping you get your deals approved quickly so you can wow your borrowers.
A “common sense” income approach
We understand that not all borrowers have traditional income sources. We’re flexible and creative with our lending solutions to help you serve borrowers of all stripes.
Custom terms
From a five-day bridge financing to a one-year interest-only mortgage to everything in between, we’re here to provide flexible borrowing solutions tailored to your borrowers’ needs.
Flexible pre-payment options
We understand that plans change. That’s why our private mortgages are open on three months prepayment. If your mortgage is up for maturity in less than three months, your borrower only has to pay the interest owing for the remainder of the term.
No minimum beacon score
We believe that credit scores are just numbers and don’t tell the whole story. We take a thoughtful approach to serving borrowers who may not be eligible for conventional mortgages.
No geographical limits
CMI lends coast to coast in Canada, from large urban cities to small remote areas across the country.
We have brokerage roots
You’ve probably heard us say, “We know brokers because we used to be a brokerage.” It’s true. We see everything through the lens of a mortgage broker.
