How We Help
- We shop around, so you don’t have to. Instead of you spending hours comparing rates, we do the homework. We’ve got access to a range of lenders—and we know where to look to find the right match for your situation.
- We tailor everything to you. We’ll sit down and get a feel for what you’re earning, what your goals are, and how much you’re comfortable spending each month. Then we build the plan around you, not the other way around.
- We deal with the paperwork and deadlines. Mortgages come with a lot of moving parts. We keep things organized behind the scenes so you’re not buried in forms or second-guessing what’s next. You’ll always know where things stand.
- We help you save money—period. Most of our clients end up saving around $7,500 over five years compared to going it alone. That’s not hype—it’s just what happens when someone’s in your corner, doing the math.
Transparent Fees & How a Mortgage Advisor get Paid
At Red Key, we believe trust starts with transparency.
- ✅ No fees for standard residential mortgages (the lender pay us).
- 📝For complex cases (e.g. private lending, commercial), fees are disclosed upfront.
- 🤝🏻We never steer clients based on commissions—our advisors are salary-plus-bonus, not commission-only.
Typical Commission Breakdown (on a $500,000 mortgage):
- Advisor Compensation: $4,000–$5,000 (the lender pays us)
- You Pay: $0
We earn only when you win—and only with your consent.
