🎨 What’s Your Mortgage Personality? 🏡✨

Here at The Creative Hub, we love connecting with people who make our community vibrant — from hardworking business owners to families putting down roots.

When it comes to homeownership, we see two types of neighbours pop up all the time:

💼 The Go-Getter Entrepreneur

• Runs their own shop, fixes things, bakes the best cupcakes in town, or owns a small fleet of trucks.

• Banks give them the side-eye because their income is “different” — but they make it work!

🏡 The Everyday Dreamer

• Punches a clock, loves a steady routine, maybe has a family (or a fur family 🐾).

• Wants that cozy home but wishes the mortgage world was a little less confusing.

If you see yourself in either of these, you’re exactly the kind of neighbour who keeps Elgin County creative and thriving.

Curious which one you are — and what doors might open for you?
Drop us a 👋 or send a note to [email protected].

And if you need a friendly mortgage brain in your corner, Brad from Mortgage with Brad is right here in the Hub to help our neighbours turn “someday” into “move-in day” 🏡💡
