I am a bilingual Independent Mortgage Professional, a Real Estate Investor, a Certified Financial Coach, Owner/Founder of Beyond Mortgage Strategies, co- founder of Your Move your Money, a Financial counsellor and a public speaker in the area of finance. I began my financial career in community development managing large budgets for various not for profit organizations some 30 years ago. I soon added to my Business Accounting Diploma, a Life Insurance Licence, a Financial Coach Certification as well as a Mortgage Professional Licence and many others. I discovered a gap existed between client's needs and what was being offered in the financial world. Whether it was guidance or life...
ulie’s program is a game changer. Actually, it’s more than that. It’s a relationship changer - it literally saved my marriage and brought me closer to Christ.
As a financial coach, Julie’s method is much different than that of a financial advisor. Rather than solely focusing on finances, Julie’s Christ-centred approach helps couples explore areas that create discord, from communication to differing priorities, values, needs and wants. She explores one’s foundation and works to strengthen all areas. For us, by learning to understand how we each think of money and how we respond to certain situations, we were able to change how we communicate together. Our discussions about family finances no longer end up in arguments. They are instead productive and respectful. For me personally, I have grown exponentially as an individual since starting the program and have become closer to Christ in the process. I am truly happy.
It’s been a long process though and we aren’t done yet. We are in a much better place than before and look forward to being financially free in the near future!

When we decided to remortgage our house, we immediately sought advice from Julie. Even though we are a few provinces away, we had previous seen her for financial counselling and value very much her opinions Once again, Julie didn’t disappoint. She provided us with options we didn’t knew existed, helping us meet goals and using our refinance to help towards financial stability, not debt.
The team was extremely responsive and helpful during the entire process. We were so grateful for Julie’s support!

"I met Julie in July 2019 and I must confess I was not very thrilled about the whole coaching thing, I thought I could put my fees towards my debts instead of paying her.
I have been in debt since my early 20s and I must say that Julie's program is without a doubt the best thing it happened to us financially speaking. Not only I am getting out of debt but we also have money saved up in case of an emergency. Julie not only was our coach but also became a friend. She truly cares about the situation and she might not tell you what you want to hear but she cares about your financial situation. She treats your money as if it was hers. What we love about Julie is that she doesn't sugar coat anything, she says as it is. No grey area, Its either black or white.
Her integrity speaks for herself. She is very professional and was a blessing to work with her.
I can't thank Julie enough for what she has done for us."

Mon conjoint et moi avons récemment fait l'achat de notre première maison. Afin d'obtenir une hypothèque, notre agente immobilière nous a référé à Julie Leduc et nous n'avons pas été déçus. Julie est une personne conviviale, attentionnée, toujours prête à répondre à nos questions. Elle nous a guidé tout le long du chemin de la pré-approbation et de l'approbation finale du financement de la maison. Elle nous a obtenu un taux d'intérêt compétitif et ce malgré notre profil d'acheteur un peu hors de l'ordinaire. Elle a communiqué directement avec l'employeur de mon conjoint afin de clarifier des détails dans son contrat et nous a toujours demandé les documents nécessaires bien à l'avance pour nous éviter tous stress. Nous devons surtout remercier Julie pour son aide lors de la date de fermeture lorsqu'il y a eu un retard avec le transfert d'argent de l'hypothèque. Nos avocats nous ont exprimés à quel point ils étaient reconnaissants d'avoir collaboré avec Julie qui était en communication avec nos prêteurs. Nous étions à l'extérieur de la ville, mais nous n'avons pas stressé parce que nous savions que tout était entre de bonnes mains. Nous sommes maintenant les fiers propriétaires de notre première maison. Nous sommes très heureux de recommander Julie Leduc pour n'importe quel projet de financement d'achat de proprété.

I am writing to recommend Julie Leduc as a mortgage broker for anyone seeking professional and reliable assistance in securing a mortgage. My wife and I we’re pleased to work with Julie as she always provided superb and timely service.
Julie proved that she always stays up to date with the best rates and mortgage lenders to ensure that her clients receive the best possible mortgage from a reliable lender. Throughout our interactions, Julie took great care in explaining all the ins and outs of applying and securing a mortgage that fit our budget and goals.
Through Julie’s hard work, we were able to secure a mortgage that was better than we originally believed we would receive. Moreover, she worked hard to meet a tight timeline which allowed us to be in the house we wanted, when we needed.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Julie Leduc as a top-tier mortgage broker. Her personalized approach, commitment, and expertise make her a broker that anyone can rely on.
Sincerely,
David

It's been an eventful year for us. We've been able to make some moves to better position ourselves for retirement.

When my husband and I started with Julie, we had a lot of consumer debt and were obviously spending more than we were making. We would say to ourselves that we could afford it weren't we making more money than ever before in our lives? With every credit card purchase, I felt guilt and shame that we were overspending and worry that we would not be able to pay it off before the next big purchase on credit.
That all changed when we started working with Julie.
Before our first appointment, I worried we would be told to stop being greedy and irresponsible. This was not her approach at all. She was non-judgemental and compassionate. As a result, we learned to save up for the items we wanted and to stop spending on credit. I was able to let go of the guilt, shame and worry. I began to appreciate that we are blessed with sufficient income, that we can enjoy many of the good things in life and that all it takes is careful planning.
I want to thank Julie for being a mentor and a friend and for showing us there is a way to live within our means, to spend responsibly, and to prepare for the future.

I would love to send out a big shout out to our amazing mortgage broker and financial coach Julie Leduc. We finally did the switch from the Caisse to a broker and couldn't be happier with the results and options. If you're looking into a mortgage or a re-finance or simply have questions, she comes highly recommended.

Dear Julie AKA Mortgage Mom, AKA Fairy Godmother who is facilitating my homeownership dreams - From the depth of my heart and soul, thank you and bless you! On a professional and personal note, you have gone above and beyond with your prompt and helpful replies, creative thinking, and perseverance in the Lord, I am indescribably delighted and thankful for this opportunity. All this for casually , prayerfully flipping through the Shepherd's Guide and finding you, after getting rejected by a bank, Ha! GOD IS SO GOOD. In Him, Grace.
Grace
Thank you Julie - I am so happy we decided to brake the traditional bank mortgage route. I really don't know why we haven't done it sooner but at least we are not too old to learn new tricks :)
We are looking forward to working with you and feel so at ease and confident with you as our broker - it feels good to know that someone is there that cares about their clients and will help guide us to the right options not just the options that make their business more profitable but the ones that will help us achieve our goals.
Thanks for helping us through this!

Les finances sont comme la religion, il y a des hauts et des bas. Des moments difficiles et d'autre très facile. Si tu crois que tu es un vaux rien les problèmes font surface, tes finances dégringoles, tu te retrouves victime du système, victime de tes mauvais choix miséreux, pauvre, tous t'arrive, tous les malheurs du monde te tombe dessus.
Mais quand tu croix en de belle possiblité, tu croix que tu peux t'en sortir, que tu trouvera les bonnes personnes qui tu guideront vers les meilleurs possibilités pour t'en sortir. Tu les trouvent et tu remercie pour tout les bons conseilles reçu qui t'ont permis de sortir de cette misère.
J'ai eu peurs, j'ai paniquer, je me suis angoisser face à mes finances. Julie tu m'a aider à retrouver confiance en moi. Nous avons trouver des solutions. J'ai trouver des bouts difficiles à comprendre, je n'ai pas tous assimiler. Je n'ai pas tous suit à la lettre. J'ai fait des erreurs. Mais je suis moi et je reprend le controle de mes finances. Je reprend mon pouvoir de bien gérer mon argent, mes factures, mes entrés d'argent et mes dépenses. Je vais faire de mon mieux pour ne plus retourner dans les trous creuser. Mais je suis assez forte aujourd'hui pour reprendre le controle de mes finances. Savoir dire NON quand j'en ai pas besoin ou dire NON quand cela affectera mon budget. Et savoir dire OUI quand j'écomomiserai OUI quand je prend de bonne décision pour moi et mon avenir financière.

Julie Leduc has the key to the vehicle that drove me to success.
I am a single woman with no dependants, but I didn’t know where my money was going because it certainly wasn’t growing in my account. I was desperate to save my money to buy my first home. Julie taught me the method to control my money as it came in and keep it accumulating. I can honestly say that I am never caught short of funds.
I soon realized that using the method and having Julie’s fait in me, that I was going to succeed. It’s not so much the satisfaction of doing well but the feeling of self worth. I now feel so good about myself!!
Thank you, Julie Leduc,
Maggie
A Happy client read on
I was very fortunate to have Julie’s information given to me. I found myself in a very precarious situation, where I needed to secure financing on my new property with many credit and financial issues. Julie was patient, took the time to explain options to me and was able to pull together a proposal for a lender that left them unable to say no. She worked with me to get the short term issue fixed, with a long term commitment to work with me to set me up for success. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a house. Her wealth of knowledge, caring heart and commitment to deliver is far beyond any service I have received.

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for making what we thought impossible, possible. My family and I were able to purchase the home we have been renting for years. It was a lot of work but with your help during the day and even some late night phone calls or facetime. At times I felt like it wasn’t going to work and you were there coaching me and keeping me positive about the situation. I appreciate everything you did and from me and my family thanks you so very much. Threw out the years I have used your help with other homes or just phones call with advice. If anyone ever needs help with a home purchase or advice about purchasing property of any kind, I recommend Julie over anyone else.

Referral for Julie Leduc
This was our first time working with Julie Leduc and it was an positive experience. Starting with her personality and transferred to the process of purchasing an investment property. We were under strict timelines in order to make the deal happen. With her coaching and expertise we ere able to achieve our goal on time. I believe she is an asset for obtaining the best mortgage for the purchase of a home or adding to an investment portfolio.

Hi Julie and thank-you once again for standing in the gap for us, so to speak.
You were always pleasant, forthright and timely in my view. You streamlined the process with sufficient explanation so that the deal went thru correctly.
You also followed up several times on our behalf when we or someone else missed a detail or deadline.
For all these things I am grateful!!😊
Sincerely,

Julie is Beyond Amazing!!
I AM DEBT FREE !!!
Just shy of reaching retirement I have reached my ultimate goal!!! I AM DEBT FREE!
There is hope that everyone can achieve their goals of being debt free.
I am so grateful that God has placed Julie on my path -- she saved my life!! She actually saved me from depression, burnout, physically and mentally. When I started I felt like nothing was going well in my life and I met Julie at one of her seminars and VOILA! She was able to get me back on track, she gave me so much hope and I understood that it was actually possible to be debt free!
By working with Julie Leduc, I was able to free up $1000 a month to put on my debt. She worked on strategies that helps me use cash to my advantage…. And it was the answer!
The feeling is so amazing to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The system that was put in place was easy to follow and allowed me to not get discouraged. For the first time in my life I got to plan everything including what I owed and what I made, all the moneys coming in and I truly felt like I got a raise just by getting my finances in order. We decided together just how much can be put on my debt and created an accountability to achieve this and many other goals. Julie made it simple to understand my parameters, tracking made the whole difference and it gave structure to my life.
The picture I have is “ I had a huge red debt guy on my back” and now he no longer exists!! I’m so excited! I can barely express it!
PEACE and FREEDOM are my new words!!
In my process I have taken yearly trips to the East Coast and I am just about ready to leave on my Europe trip in the fall. This was my retirement goal!
Thank you, Julie, for teaching me how to manage my finances and my life…….….

Thank you!

Working with Julie and her team was an enjoyable venture. We were multiple buyers and the task was complex. Even when some intricate and almost impossible issues arose Julie gave all her efforts and was able to provide every co-owners needs and wants. On top of her outstanding service to us, since our lender had not kept their end of the bargain on a matter, Julie went out of her way to get from them a financial bonus for us. I found that was very thoughtful of her.
I always had a strong sense Julie was on our side and would not let us down. Her strong but sensitive personality, knowledge and competence gave me peace of mind.
Julie an her team are hard working devoted and trustworthy. I Strongly recommend them.
