LEARN MOREYour bank can only offer you what’s on its own shelf. As an independent mortgage broker, I shop your mortgage across Canada’s major banks, credit unions, trust companies and alternative lenders, so you see the full market before you sign anything, not just one lender’s best guess.
I’m Peter Carstensen, and I work with clients across Vancouver Island and beyond from my home base in the Cowichan Valley. You won’t be handed off to a call centre or a junior associate. I’ll be there from your first question to the day your mortgage funds, and I’ll still be there at renewal. My job is to find the right fit for your situation, explain your options in plain language, and make the process feel manageable.
Buying your first home, moving up, refinancing, renewing, buying acreage, self-employed, or carrying a file the bank said no to: I’ve seen it, and I’d like to help.

The level of service and care that I received from Bayside Mortgage Solutions while renewing my mortgage is unparalleled. The staff are very knowledgeable and experienced and answered all my questions and addressed my concerns promptly and effectively. I would recommend Bayside Mortgage Solutions for all your mortgage needs.

Peter did my mortgage almost three years ago. It was an easy, well informed process and he put my family at ease with his knowledge and customer service. He still touches base and reviews our mortgage to see if there are any changes on our end, and if anything can be done on his. I recommend Peter to anyone looking for a mortgage – if it be a new home, refinance or renewal!
