Mortgage "stores" are a Hit With HomebuyersAuthor: The House Team Of Mortgage IntellingenceQuestion: "What's the biggest financial investment most Canadians will ever make?"

And to get a better look at their growing range of options, more homebuyers than ever are going to a mortgage "store" - and to the professional mortgage brokers who run them.
