Years Experience
Hi, I'm Alexandra Novak
Principal Broker & Founder
I grew up in Toronto and remember how overwhelming it felt when my family was looking for our first home. The jargon, the paperwork, the endless lender options — it was a lot. That experience is exactly why I became a mortgage broker.
Over the past decade I've helped hundreds of families across the GTA navigate the mortgage process. I've built relationships with over 40 lenders — from the big banks to credit unions and private lenders — which means I can find you options that aren't available on the open market.
At Northern Lights Mortgage, we believe buying your first home should feel exciting, not terrifying. We do the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters: finding the home you love.

Our Story
Northern Lights Mortgage was founded in 2014 with a simple but powerful idea: first-time buyers deserve a broker who puts their interests first — not the lender's commissions.
We were tired of seeing people sign mortgages they didn't fully understand, locked into terms that didn't suit their lives. We built our practice around radical transparency: no hidden fees, no jargon, no pressure. Just honest, expert advice and access to Canada's best rates.
Based in Toronto's financial district, we serve buyers across the Greater Toronto Area — from first-time condo buyers in the downtown core to families searching for their dream home in the suburbs. Wherever you're looking, we're here to help you get there.
Our Values
The principles that guide every conversation and every mortgage we arrange.
Transparency
We explain everything clearly — fees, terms, and trade-offs — so you always know exactly what you're agreeing to.
Client First
Your goals drive every decision we make. We succeed when you get the mortgage that truly fits your life.
Accessibility
We're available when you need us — evenings, weekends, and same-day responses. Home buying doesn't keep office hours.
Integrity
We recommend the mortgage that's right for you, even if it's not the most profitable for us. Always.
