About Samanta

Your mortgage, handled.

Lenders count a portion of condo fees when calculating debt service ratios, so the monthly maintenance charge can change how much a buyer qualifies for. Samanta Balgobin explains how that works, along with property taxes and heating costs, before a client commits to a purchase.

FSRA licence M26001485 authorizes Samanta to act as a Level 1 mortgage agent, arranging financing through trust companies, credit unions and chartered banks. Samanta works throughout the Greater Toronto Area in English, as part of Mortgage Squad Advisors (FSRA #13737), where Principal Broker Surrayya Afzal provides compliance oversight.
