Bank Says “No”

A single young female was refinancing her home after a common-law relationship ended. After working for seven years, she found herself on disability for a work-related injury. When she approached her bank to discuss her options, the only suggestion they offered was to sell her house. Thankfully, the GLM Mortgage Group team stepped in and helped her.

Using a 35-year amortization, the GLM Mortgage Group was able to secure a new mortgage that covered her present mortgage and consumer debt. Her father, who had excellent credit and a strong financial position but little income, was able to co-sign.
