Your Mortgage Specialist
Meet the Vision
I’m Sarah Strauss, Founder and Mortgage Broker at The Place to Mortgage, powered by The Mortgage House. With over 17 years of experience in residential and commercial financing, I specialize in helping clients and investors navigate complex mortgage options with clarity and confidence.
As an Accredited Mortgage Professional and active member of CAAMP and AMBA, I bring both industry expertise and a commitment to ethical, transparent guidance. My approach is simple: translate mortgage jargon into clear recommendations and align each solution with your financial goals, whether you’re buying, refinancing, renewing, or investing.
Clients choose to work with me because I prioritize communication, strategy, and results — ensuring every step of the process feels straightforward, informed, and stress-free.
Outside of mortgages, I’m a proud mom and stepmom to a lively blended family, a passionate traveler always planning my next adventure, and an Albertan with dual Canadian-American citizenship.
