What MORTGAGE TREE BROKERAGE INC. does

Mortgage Tree Brokerage Inc. is a privately held Canadian mortgage brokerage incorporated and headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, with cross-provincial licensing under the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (license #13118). The firm originates residential and commercial mortgage products on behalf of borrowers by acting as an intermediary between clients and a panel of more than 30 institutional lenders, which it uses to shop rates and terms rather than originate from a single balance sheet. Its service portfolio spans home purchasing, refinancing, renewals, home equity lines of credit, second and private mortgages, builder/construction mortgages, commercial mortgages, and CHIP reverse mortgages for the 55+ segment.

The company's product surface combines a human-broker advisory model with a layer of digital self-serve tools: a third-party online application widget (getmy.mortgage), a branded Canadian Mortgage App with sub-60-second pre-qualification, six free online calculators (affordability, renewal, CMHC, land transfer tax, closing cost, purchase), documentation checklists, a downloadable home ownership guide, rate alerts, and a renewal reminder service. Distribution runs through direct sales at the Calgary office, phone, the online application, the mobile app, content marketing (blog, email newsletter, social media, podcast appearances), and a referral channel anchored by major Calgary-area real estate brokerages including Re/Max, Brookfield Residential, CIR Realty, and Royal Lepage.

The revenue model is transaction-based: Mortgage Tree earns lender-paid commissions on each funded mortgage file, with no disclosed consumer-facing fees. Ancillary monetization comes indirectly through the MortgageTree Rewards loyalty program, which aggregates ~18 home-services partners (legal, moving, inspection, insurance, renovation, fitness, automotive) to drive client retention and referrals rather than direct revenue. The firm has 11–50 employees, no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no M&A history; it is founder/owner-operated with key personnel including Kent Chapman and Colette Chapman.
