For the second year in a row, True North Mortgage has won a Sudbury.com Reader Favourite award in the Mortgage Brokers category.
“Clients really appreciate that we put them first; that we care about giving them value,” says Cheryl Dawes, content manager at True North Mortgage. She believes in their approach of educating clients and empowering them to find their best mortgage solution.
“There’s a lot of misinformation out there. Our content is well researched, and we aim to help answer questions and support this important financial journey,” she says.
Mortgages, Cheryl acknowledges, can be complex, particularly for first-time home buyers. In her own experience, when she purchased a home, she found that her bank rep wasn’t very knowledgeable and was slow to respond — and she wished she had known about True North and how an experienced broker can offer better choices.
One of the top mortgage brokerages in Canada, True North Mortgage’s focus is to ensure a seamless process, working behind the scenes to solve issues and answer questions quickly and in clear language.
“We believe in honesty, integrity, and establishing trust with our clients. I see it every day, internally and externally,” says Cheryl.

This approach has earned True North not just a Reader Favourite award, but over 16,000 five-star reviews — a standout in their industry. Focused solely on mortgages for over two decades, they have a high level of expertise and experience. Their mortgage brokers are rigorously trained and salaried, so they are non-commissioned. These brokers offer homebuyers and owners the ability to have someone shop around on their behalf to find the best deal.
True North also offers a comprehensive first-time homebuyers guide — with insider tips and helpful worksheets that help demystify the home-buying process, including how to work with a realtor, understanding conditions, and more. It is one of the many ways the company helps guide its clients and make a complex journey more straightforward.
Because True North also has an in-house lender, they’re often able to be more flexible than the big banks. In fact, the company was founded on the idea that homeowners should have a choice over their bank’s one-size-fits-all products and rates. True North’s discounted mortgage rates and simplified service have brought in more competition and options for Canadians.
“Especially in Ontario with its higher home prices, we save clients over $3,000, even up to $15,000, per term on average. Those savings can make a big difference,” says Cheryl.
The company’s brokers also check in with their clients every year to see if their mortgage is still fitting their needs. Their level of customer service has so far earned True North Mortgage two Reader Favourite awards. “Our brokers are known for going the extra mile,” says Cheryl.
“We’re honoured and excited to have been voted for. We really appreciate our clients and we will continue to work hard to support them in their mortgage decisions.”
