Our Mission

At Pine, we've set out to support Canadians throughout their financial journey in homeownership, by upending the conventions of our industry to completely reimagine a better financial experience from beginning to end. Owning a home is a huge milestone.

We're here to help you own yours.

About us

After the realization that Canada’s typical mortgage process was in need of a revamp, co-founders Justin Herlick and Jonathan Shih combined their experiences to create a technologically-driven approach.

Founded in 2021, Pine has since worked to offer a digital-first, mortgage process to give every Canadian access anytime, anywhere.

Whether that's an intuitive digital application that remembers what you jotted down at 2 a.m., or one of our team members who will talk you through "here's your best fitting mortgage option, and here's why" in plain English, we are a mortgage disruptor, with a process that adapts to your needs, rather than ours.

The home buying journey isn’t always the most accessible—Pine is here to make it faster, easier, and simpler.

Own it today.

Possibly the best rate you can find in the market, and great agent who is professional and provides honest advise. Would recommend!

As a busy new Mom, it was so nice to do the whole application from my phone and on my own time. Not only that, but I felt supported by my advisor who was a text or call away when I had any questions. On top of that, Pine beat my brokers best rate and gave me $3,500 to put towards renovations of our new home.

The customer service I received at Pine mortgage was first-rate! I was guided at every step so that nothing felt too complicated. I’m really happy with what I received and for all the support.
