We were needing a building loan for our dream home in Goderich. We heard great things about Mainstreet so set-up a meeting with Kim. She took the time to get to know us and the situation and jumped right in. Within 3 days she had fixed everything related to our bank loan situation and the entire process was so much smoother and personalized - we really felt well taken care of. With Mainstreet we feel like they are on our side, saving us money, and taking care of our family's financial well-being.

Mortgage Insurance
For most families the biggest debt and the biggest monthly expense are one and the same thing: the mortgage. Mortgage life insurance, available on all Mainstreet mortgages, helps ensure the security of your family home in the event of loss of life.
