Staff Christmas Party!

We had a great Christmas party this year at the Melting Pot in Edmonton. We wanted to share some photos of the staff, spouses and kids. We are all such a close knit group and we are so proud to have so many great people with us at the agency!!

The Balloon Fairy creates some magic for the kids

We had SO much delicious food at the Melting Pot - it was great!

To be used to save money for the purchase of their first home
It's hard to believe they will be mortgage clients one day!

Rate Comparisons

The Bob Hanscom Mortgage Agency mortgage associates have access to a tool that can make deciding on which mortgage option is best for you.

Unsure about the pros or cons of taking a 5 year variable or a 5 year fixed? How about a 4 year fixed vs a 5 year fixed?


We can do these types of comparisons for you using our mortgage comparison tool.

The purpose of the tool isn't to forecast rates, but to show you what could happen. We believe the more you know and understand about your mortgage options, the more confident you will be with your decision.

Ask your Bob Hanscom Mortgage Agency associate to assist you with your scenario today!
