HomeBrew: The BC Mortgage Management Tool That Never Stops Watching.

HomeBrew is our free monthly mortgage and homeownership report for BC homeowners. It helps you keep an eye on your home’s estimated value, growing equity, mortgage payments and potential opportunities.

But HomeBrew isn’t just another automated report. We review the information each month and reach out when we see something worth discussing.

You can also update your home’s estimated value or mortgage balance, explore different scenarios, and ask us questions whenever you need a hand.

Whether we arranged your mortgage or not, you’re welcome to join.

What HomeBrew does (the 90-second version):

Your free, secure monthly mortgage and homeownership report, set up in under two minutes. HomeBrew provides updated estimates of your property’s value and equity, along with potential mortgage savings and other opportunities worth exploring.

Behind the scenes, our team reviews the reports each month. When we spot something that might benefit you, we’ll reach out to discuss it. Sometimes that means making a change, and sometimes the best advice is to stay exactly where you are.

HomeBrew also provides estimated mortgage penalties to help us evaluate your options. We always verify the actual numbers before recommending any changes.

Your Bank Left Your Mortgage on a Shelf. Our BC Mortgage Management Tool Puts it on the Front Burner.

Most homeowners get their mortgage and then get ignored for five years. The banks are counting on you being too busy to realize how much money they are making from your distraction.

The Problem

Your mortgage shouldn’t be something you think about only once every five years.

Consider a homeowner renewing a $560,000 mortgage. A difference of just half a percentage point in their interest rate could represent approximately $14,000 over five years using a simple interest illustration.

Actual savings depend on the mortgage balance, payments, amortization, product features and other costs. And sometimes staying with your existing lender is absolutely the right decision.

The important thing is understanding your options before making a choice.

That’s why we believe your mortgage deserves attention throughout its life, not just at renewal.

Adopt My Mortgage

Already have a mortgage with another bank or broker? That’s perfectly fine.

You don’t have to move your mortgage to HomeHappy to benefit from HomeBrew.

Through our Adopt My Mortgage program, we can provide you with the same free monthly homeowner report that our existing clients receive.

You’ll be able to follow your estimated home value and equity, explore mortgage scenarios, and ask us questions along the way.

We review the information monthly and can help you identify opportunities worth considering, whether that’s preparing for renewal, understanding your equity or simply making sure your current mortgage still fits your plans.

There’s no obligation to switch lenders or arrange a new mortgage with us.

We’d simply like to help you make informed decisions about one of your biggest financial commitments.

01

What You Own, Every Month

Every month, HomeBrew provides an updated estimate of your property’s value and how much equity you’ve built.

You can see how your mortgage balance is changing and explore how your home’s estimated value affects your overall financial picture.

Made a lump-sum payment? Think your home’s value has changed? You can update those numbers yourself to keep your report more relevant.

And if you’d like a local realtor’s opinion of your property’s value, just ask. We can help arrange a review.

These are estimates, not formal appraisals, but they’re a useful starting point for better decisions.

02

The Proactive Rate Radar

Mortgage rates and lender offerings change. Your mortgage doesn’t have to sit untouched until renewal.

HomeBrew compares your mortgage information with current rate scenarios and estimates whether changing your mortgage could offer potential savings.

It also provides an estimated cost of breaking your existing mortgage, helping us identify situations worth investigating.

Our team reviews these opportunities monthly. When the numbers suggest something may be worth exploring, we can reach out and discuss whether it actually makes sense for you.

Sometimes the best advice is to make a change. Sometimes it’s to stay exactly where you are.

Before recommending anything, we’ll confirm the relevant rates, actual lender penalty and other costs.

03

Your Future Buying Power

Whether you want to upgrade to your next family home or purchase your first rental door, you need to know your true purchasing capacity before you start browsing listings or talking to realtors. Pair your monthly report with our interactive BC Mortgage Calculator Matrix to run your own scenarios, project strict stress tests and plan equity strategies safely across BC.

04

Your Penalty Forecast

Breaking a fixed-rate mortgage can involve a significant penalty, and that cost can change as rates move and your mortgage term gets shorter.

HomeBrew provides estimates to help us explore how a potential penalty might affect a mortgage decision.

We use those estimates as a starting point, not a final answer. The actual penalty depends on your lender’s calculation, your mortgage terms and the date the mortgage is discharged.

If the report suggests a possible opportunity, we’ll review the numbers with you and obtain the information needed before recommending a move.

The goal isn’t to encourage you to break your mortgage. It’s to help you understand your options.

Love tracking your property wealth? Pass the brew.

Introduce a neighbor, friend, or family member to HomeBrew. They’ll get a monthly report with market updates, equity tracking, and local real estate values, completely free.

What does HomeBrew cost?

Nothing. It’s free for any BC homeowner — our clients and “adopted” mortgages alike. We provide it because managed mortgages make better decisions, and better decisions become lifelong clients.

No. That’s the adoption invitation: even if another broker or your bank arranged your current mortgage, we’ll connect it to HomeBrew and manage the strategy from here.

Your home’s estimated value from institutional-grade data, your mortgage balance and equity position, how your rate compares to the live market, your renewal horizon, and your penalty timeline.

Your report is private to you, powered by our partner Ownwell, and never sold or shared. Unsubscribing takes one click.

When HomeBrew flags an opportunity, we’d love to be the ones who run the math with you. That’s the whole business model — in ~95% of cases lenders pay us, so the advice is free too.

Two minutes: claim your free HomeBrew report, enter your address and mortgage basics, and your first report arrives shortly after.
